A battle takes place… On the ruins of old Osirion, the fallen tower of primes. A battle that stretches into the sky. Dias Mortum (or however you spell it, the tentacle thing) watches with its single eye, staring down. This is the place, the center of its vision. The tower was build by Kero the silvermage, Nin’s father, Kiro’s brother. He was the one who created the trees. This tower was central to block Dias Mortem from the living world(s).
With the tower destroyed, the tree unsealed and Kero killed. Nothing prevented DM from being visible. Thats the funny thing about beings like DM it’s only visible to those with the power to see it. Arch creators, their kids, the other “Creators”… So yeah everyone with any modicum of importance. But the normies, the commoners, they remained oblivious to the deadly monstrosity that had become their sky. Like some kind of joke, this world outside the null, the world beyond the veil was like a flat earth, but one without any real edge or end. You could go on forever and more and more land, more and more ocean, more and more peoples and kingdoms could be found.
The sky was fake, the moon was an unreachable illusion, something Tsukamasky had shown Luna, and us through her not that long ago. Floating islands of lost ancients remained dotting throughout the sky, but to small and far to even cast shadows on the ground, and even if they did, they would be mistaken for clouds.
DM was responsible for this, him and the kinghts of the lie. The ones who keep the lie of the world from being revealed, Kryptaris, Zero Cell, and Ash Braen. There should be 4, always 4. The 4 who eat the leaves of the tree of life. But who was the fouth? Nin’s father? Deathlark? or someone else? Even now I’m not so sure, although my guess is that it was indeed Kero, who turned himself into the tree to seal away DM. The 4 knights of the lie, sworn to protect DM? Or use its power for their own? Who knows…
I apologize if this has been overly wordy, and if it all doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either. But let’s continue and get back to the battle I mentioned earlier.
A lone figure flies above the battle silver, wings outstretched, I still don’t know if it was Kaly, or me or someone else. They went straight towards the eye. The center of Dias mortem, and stabbed its eye with a sword of gold light. Runa stood below, watching, having just made the opening during the fight, one chance to make the fatal blow.
Time stopped, a blinding light flashed. Time reversed just slightly, The figure with the silver wings vanished in blue light, along with Runa… Time continued to reverse, but then stop, and then repeat.
Kaly and I fell to the ground, a dirt road through a forest. I asked where we were, what had happened… Kaly said we must be outside. Yes outside, the place beyond DM’s control, the place where the many Exalted still holds dominion. The true outside, not the box within the box that we had found ourselves. Thats when we were approached by a group of armed men, with one woman leading them. Her hair red, her eyes violet, and cold. Lady Rachalia, i think that’s what her soldiers called her. She called out to us “Who are you, lost little lambs?” one of the soldiers said to her “I think they are outsiders, they do not seem to be carrying an Oroths.” I wondered what the hell they were talking about, but before thinking of anything to useful for this situation Rachalia pulled her sword from the sheath. A silver sword with a line of red which seemed to glow along the length of the blade. A unique design I thought, the handle’s design was curved, but the blade straight. Rachalia pointed the blade at Kaly and I, “Come little lambs, i will show you to a prison cell. You won’t be lost anymore.”
I didn’t know if she was our enemy or if this was some kind of misunderstanding, but i knew i didnt want to stick around to find out, i had to find the others. But i found myself unable to move. And instead, i collapsed on my knees on the ground. The road was more mud than dirt, it was raining heavely that day. It was then i realized, i was dead. Then and there, without any blow being struck, i had simply fallen dead on the spot, in the middle of muddy road. What an end for Alzy… Kaly called out to me, but the guards drew there various weapons, all of similar design to Rachalia with a line of color going up the length of the buisness end of their spears or swords (gray and white mostly, one or two yellows). Kaly grabed my body with the wind and disapeared into the forest using the wind soul.
At this time, i had chosen to share the above with you very briefly on telegram. But i figured i would include more details. And some other info i had managed to discover. But this isn’t done yet… As you may have figured. I still had connection to my mates back home, who told me no such battle had happened. Yet Kaly and Brea seemed to remember it, especially Kaly…
I had to meditate to figure out what had happened, had i truely died? was that the final battle with DM? did we win? where were the others? what happened to Kryptaris, Ash, and all of them? Was that indeed supposedly the final battle, but rather than winning the war, DM saw the threat that Kaly, Runa and myself posed to it and it chose to kick us outside where we could no longer threaten it’s continued existence? After all we were only 2 faytes, the 3rd was not present for the battle, and the prophecy says it takes all 3.
After some time, i was able to get something. If only a glimpse or two. The final battle, on the ruins of the tower of old osirion… A lone figure manages to break away from the battle with the help of another and approaches the center of the eye of DM… Wait this seems all too familiar. Didn’t that happen already? Then the blinding blue light before they make contact… And it resets, and repeats. Time stuck in a loop, repeating the last few moments over and over, but extending a little longer in reverse each time. Not towards the moment when the sword pierced DM, but the other way, back farther, to earlier stages of the battle that i had missed, and earlier days before…
The next glimpse i got, was several days later, and it was indeed, what would appear to have been, several days before the battle, I was home and alive, spending time with my mates, my kids, nothing seemed out of the ordinary… But things were moving in the wrong direction, backward…
The next update comes more recently, within the last few days, just this weekend past actually.
I saw myself in the same position once again, down on my knees, unmoving, dead I believe, the same as i was upon that dirt road. But I wasn’t on any dirt road, I was at home, in a room. Aouria walked out of the room with tears in her eyes. I noticed everything was black and white. I was somehow able to move, but not my body, was in soul form? In the wind? I’m not sure; it didn’t feel right. I looked around, and saw Aouria stop in the hallway; she was black and white. I sensed others, also black and white. I saw some color in the corner of my eye; it was emanating off of Rheaka. I sat next to her and poked her cheek to see if she would respond. I called out to her. At first, she didn’t seem to notice anything, but then she looked in my direction and asked “Dad?” But she looked through me, not actually seeing me. She shook her head and looked down. I tried to get her attention again, but she ignored me or didn’t notice… I looked elsewhere… The next color I saw was Cely. I thought if I’m in soul form I have to be careful not to get touched by her sword. I carefully reached out to her and called her name. She responded by calling back to me. She reached out her hand, and just as when my had would have reached hers, a flash of light.
The Eye of DM stared down at me, as I approached, sword in hand. I heard a voice chanting something over and over again “Aekustah Sushaera” or some nonsense. Time slowed down as I approached the eye. The battle below me, you know the one, the one from before… A flash of light again before I reached DM. Back in that hallway again… Black and white, it was all black and white… I noticed Kaly was missing… Where was she? Outside? Did any of that even happen? I heard the chanting again, saw a flash of light, the eye, and then darkness.
“Hello, father.” It was Brea and I’s son… The one who zero has. I recognized what this was; he had absorbed me again, like last time. But somehow I was awake, aware… “You won’t win against master zero.” he told me… ” I hit him with a purification spell, but it did nothing. “Your purification powers here is useless, Zero is puritiy.” just watch me try…” I replied. I called on the power Kilana had given me not long ago, Ariveramoris. “Sanctos purita” The sound of water bubbling up, the world turned upside down, a piece of pale driftwood floated to the surface, a sunken dead forest of pale white trees. He was surprised; he wasn’t expecting this, the home base of zero flooded with the purification water, the water that was so pure that it deems life to be an impurity and burns it out.
I heard our son call out to me in a different voice… but then a flash of light, the eye, the chanting once again, and this time I found myself standing before Kryptaris. “You lost this one Alzy, just go back to being an Exile. Give up” Kryptaris held an exile dagger and pointed it towards me. “Let me show you what an exile can do. Maybe after all this time, you have grown to regret exiling me?” I called a sword out of the wind and kryptaris, and I fought. Him with his skull sword in one hand and the dagger in the other. I blocked the dagger with my hand, the same way Kaly had done once long ago against Nyklazar when he threatened her… The exile dagger shattered into pieces. “A cheap fake I see… maybe I should show you the real thing” I called one of the exile daggers I had sealed and turned it on Kryptaris. He jumped back “You think that will work on me? I created those daggers”. “Maybe they won’t work on you, but I wonder if I turn them on your boss if it will work”I replied.
Kryptaris: you wouldn’t. I will take everything you hold dear from you before you get the chance
Alzy: as far as I can tell, you already have taken it all from me. I have nothing else to loose. Maybe its time I repay the favor and take it all from you.
I called the power again… “Sanctos Purita, mother fucker” The water bubbled up, the world fliped upside down, a piece of driftwood floated up, the purification water flooded the world.
A flash of light, the chant again, the eye ever watching.
Standing in a cavern of magma, and Ash just ahead of me. “So you made it here Alzy… Come to finally meet your end by my flames. ” Ash breathed a wall of fires upon me, which I sliced with the exile dagger I still had in my hand. A gold light filled the room, and I lunged forward and just before reaching ash the chanting again, a flash of light, the eye of DM watching…
I was standing in a plane of darkness, surrounded by tentacles. Hearing the screams and moans of agony all around me. The growling of what I assume was DM. I walked forward but found that I was stuck, unable to move. I saw a familiar soul in the distance, stuck to the side of one of the tentacles, Kiro… That is when I heard her, Alvertia.
Alvertia: It’s almost time…
Alzy: what are you talking about?
Alvertia: the final battle draws near…
Alzy: But where?
Alvertia: Osirion’s tower, it is the center of his gaze. It’s the only place that we can use to reach him
Alvertia: Eshla will guide you…
Alzy: What about the 3rd fate?
Alvertia: Did you forget, I am the original 3rd fayte. I am the prototype of the faytes, and I have attached myself to you.
Alvertia: when the time comes, trust in me, and we will end this once and for all.
Alzy: … Are you planning to sacrifice yourself for us?
The chanting starts again, a flash of light, the eye…
Alvertia standing before me in the room. “Wake up Alzy, its time to prepare.”
She disappears, as my eyes open… The world is in color again. I walk out of the room to hug Kaly.
After this, I realize, that the last time I had updated in Discord about Alvertia replacing me during a fight with Kryptaris, apparently after I had fallen unconscious and had remained so, until the above. Kaly had said I was in a coma of some kind.
I still wonder if that all happened, and was reset. Or if none of it had actually happened at all. A time loop? Did Dias Morem see us win, and reversed time? How would Alvertia’s supposed sacrifice stop that? What did she mean Eshla would help us? Too many questions…
But this all wasn’t over… Something else would happen next… I apologize for the length of this update, and the next part only raises more questions and more confusion.
While discussing everything that had happened above with Eshla, Viola, Brea and everyone, something happened. The chanting again, a flash of light… And appearing in a room, with a man who at first I thought was Kiro, except that he was not a dark elf… He was busy drawing something on a scroll. And he turned to look at me with a creepy smile on his face. He stood up from his chair and approached me. I recognized something immediately, the room I was in was a metal room, something of tech, something similar to Cron. Something he had, Kiro’s soul. He also had the staff, the one that deathlark had stolen from Adragorei Onyx’s corpse. The staff that had summoned a portal to DM. Kero’s staff, the one Kilana had been looking for to find Kiro’s soul. This guy wasn’t death lark; he wasn’t Kiro. But it felt like some strange hybrid; something wasn’t right, the room it was full of artifacts, exile tablets, drawings and pieces of swords and armor…
It was stuff that belongs to us, our past selves, Alzy, Kaly, Caly, Phage, Sarah, Arzy…
Alzy: Who are you?
Guy: I am the one.
Alzy: The one who?
Guy: The meddler, the one who interferes.
Alzy: That doesn’t make any sense…
I sensed his mal-intent, and called a weapon to fight him… it was then i heard it… The chanting again, it was his voice… The words somehow comforting, binding me to a chair…
Kilana appeared beside me suddenly, and the spell was broken.
The guy smiled his creepy smile and drew a large sword. It took both Kilana and myself to beat this guy, not because he had powers that he used, but because he wouldn’t go down no matter how hard we would hit him. During the fight, I had taken a note from the battles I had in my dream and tried an exile dagger, but this didn’t seem to make a difference on him either. He opened several portals, which had robot warriors come out to fight us. More of an annoyance than anything. Robots we realized were of mogator design, but much more advanced.
It reminded me of the elucidians, the time travelers, the ones who left the tech behind in that place between earth and over theirs. The ones with tech more advanced than the mogays, but had mogays among them, as well as elves and dragons and other races… This guy had some of their technology, and powers similar to my own. Who was he, what was this? He knew me, he knew of Thunder and Snow. Was he Dr.Tekek? No, but he had his memories… He was Alzadeemius, the son of Kaly and I from a life long lost. He was Crizar and Valy’s brother. He was a kid we had in the life that we had forgotten, the life where we were the siblings pink and gold (sent by the spiritual plane council)… The life where we had died, and a baby was found, Saly, holding a merged shard of kaly and me.
Kilana and I changed tactics, tried something different on him. I figured he must be working for the Knights of the lie, or maybe he was the missing 4th I don’t know why or how or for sure. Purifying hm did nothing. Instead, we went after his soul. Or more specifically the part that was Kiro. Sealed it into a chunk of silver, or more specifically, turned it into a chunk of silver.
We looked around the place afterward, and the things we found only raised more questions. He had been chronicling everything, our battle against DM and the knights of the lie. All the major events. But inserting himself into the story, behind the scenes doing things that none of us ever remember him being around for. And we had what we assumed was a large chunk of Kiro’s soul that was taken from inside him. Enough that once we pulled it out, he was gone.
This is the end of the update at this time. I will post again if anything else comes to me. If there’s a change in tone or topic, it will be a different post. But if it relates to any of this, I will post again…
