It’s been 3 hours since you bid farewell to the Geob. Deciding to see if you’d find something similar on another world that’s played host to this war, you set a course for a world known as Vedefh. When you arrived you were greeted by the sight of a vast, corrupted desert.

There was no record of this world being corrupted.

<Are you sure the book said this place wasn’t corrupted?
>The information about this world in the book was fairly old. It is possible that it has become corrupted in the time between when Oz was here and now.
<And how long ago was that?
>Not everything in the book is dated. But judging by the order of the things that are, he was here 1 year to 6 months ago.

That long? That doesn’t really narrow it down. Although the idea that all of this took less than a year to corrupt is alarming. Come to think of it, the corruption itself sounds kind of new. You’ve already been to 4 worlds that were at least partially corrupted, how fast is this stuff spreading?

You’re broken out of your reverie by an alarm in your ear.

<What is it?
>Hostile detected.

That’s new, how does she know it’s hostile.

“Yo, Unchosen.” Comes a voice from beside you. Turning your head to its source, you see a green face with a pair of spiral goat’s horns.

That’s how.

>[ ] What do you want?

>>30131008
Pretty sure we know what he wants, but let's see how batshit he really is.

>What do you want?

“What do you want Zeshua?” You say, this guy is starting to get off your nerves. Pulling the KV off your back, you fix him with the best murderous glare you can manage.

“Ohhhhh scaaaaary.” He says in mock terror, before straightening up and continuing. “You know damn well what I want, Unchosen. And it doesn’t belong to you. Give me the shield.” He says, drawing his own sword.

“You want the shield? You can pry it off my dead body.” You fix a targeting bead onto his head and charge your weapon.

>[ ] Charge with Aether

>[ ] Charge with Void

>[ ] Charge with Apotropeia

>>30131506
I'm intrigued, and frightened, at the prospect of firing void in a void environment.

>>30131506
>>[ ] Charge with Apotropeia
Mostly because I don't remember what it does

Void. We've got tons of it.

>>30131506
Apotropeia

>>30131982
Isn't that the stuff we only get from the crossroads or whatever it's called where the knights are?
Also we must try and sneak a crystal on him to get coordinates

>Apotropeia wins!

>>30132030

>>30132030
>He can deny you the connection, even if you get a crystal on him.

>It's the only reason Jax gave you one, and you were denied connection by Rose earlier.

You suppose that this is as good a time as any to see what this energy does. You see the clear tank ‘empty’ into your weapon. It looks pretty much the same as it did before, but without the faint glow.

>I have a new spell for you!
>Repulse: 2 EP- A small burst of energy that can turn aside projectiles and light melee attacks.
>Energy for the Repulse and Close Minor Wounds spells will come directly from your left arm.

That sounds like it may come in handy. Especially now that Jax has whipped a few of those spears at you.

You sure about that, he seems kind of cocky and short-sighted from what we've seen so far.

The three spears seem to reach you all at once, he seems to have learned from last time. Instead of dodging any of them, you raise you left hand and use Repulse.

The invisibly burst of energy that comes out doesn’t send the spears flying back as you’d hoped it would. But the blast seems to nudge them all off course, causing one to land at your feet and the other two to go sailing off behind you.

You’re left with no time to admire the work of your new spell, though. As Zeshua rushes in behind them, blade poised for a thrust at your chest.

You’ve had enough of this guy. You turn his thrust aside with a thrust of your own, forcing him to tumble to the side. You follow up by leaping towards him with an overhand slash.

Your blade hits the ground. “The fuck?” You exclaim. He was right there. You never saw him move, where the hell did he go?

A noise to your left draws your attention, and you see him once more. “You’re persistent, Unchosen.” He says, a vicious smile perched on his face. “Persistent, but alone.”

Another noise to your right reveals his meaning.

You turn to your right to see who’s there and it’s… Zeshua?

He bears down on you with his sword, you bring yours up to parry it and it phases right through. Some illusion trick, then that means-

“Got you!” You hear, as you feel a blade punch through your stomach. The blade slides out and you stagger forward.

“D-damn…” You utter, turning to face Zeshua as you check your wound.

“Like it? Clones like this are my speciality. I was hoping to do this without one, but…” Zeshua disappears, and you’re suddenly surrounded by clnes of him. “You persisted.” He says, all of the clones smile as they all rush you at once.

i have an aside here

you said that most of this world was built and written by a friend? does that mean everything that we have learned and been hinted at has been created and fleshed out? if so i would love to see what this guy has written, i would read a novel about this stuff

You sweep your sword across the oncoming clones, hoping that you’ll hit the real one. As it phases through the last one caught in the slash, you feel the real one’s blade in your back again. Straight through one of your lungs. Coughing, you collapse.

“Now then. I’ll be taking this.” Zeshua says as he approaches your prone form.

I can’t let him have the shield… I need to… Get out of here… Go anywhere… Somewhere safe.

Your sword responds to your thoughts, and begins to glow. As you watch through your darkening vision, the blade disappears into a rift. You feel it pull you in, and then you black out.

>BAD END

Feels like a weird way to work. I tend to at least write notes when I get good ideas.

“I raise.” Gerard says, looking at his hand. Hannah’s face scrunches as she tries to figure out what he’s got. On the table there’s a king, an ace, a jack, and 2 sixes. You read faces better than she does, and right now Gerard’s says ‘I’ve got the best hand’.

She stares at Gerard’s face intently. You chuckle; she’s always been bad at this game. You think she might fold for a moment, before she smiles slyly. “All in.” She says, looking extremely confident.

Gerard flips his cards. “Full house, 6’s full of kings.” He says. Hannah’s demeanour drops, you can see the rage building. “GAHHHHHH!” She yells as she hops up on the table. “This game is stupid and I hate it and all of you should be asha- WAH!” She falls off the table. You saw that coming as well, and you’re right there waiting.

She lands safely in your arms, embarrassed, but unharmed. You say nothing, choosing instead to raise an eyebrow in silence.

“I know, I know…” She says. Looking more than a bit ashamed, she stands up.

“Exactly how much have you had to drink tonight?” You ask.

“Maybe four or five… or eight…” She trails off. Whatever the number is, it was obviously a few too many.

Back at the table, Gerard is collecting his winnings. With a cocky grin on his face, he walks over to where you are. “Always a pleasure cleaning you guys out.” He says, slapping Hannah on the ass before walking away.
That may not have been the best move…

You can see Hannah’s shoulders tense, her teeth clench and her face reddens. “GERARD!” She yells.

Gerard turns around just in time to see Hannah pull out her taser. And then he was a twitching mess on the ground.

>[1/?]

You shake your head as Hannah storms off. You crouch next to Gerard. “You really should know better at this point man.” You say before you take off after the now furious Hannah.

That was a bit too much, even for her. You know she hates Gerard’s guts; hell Gerard knows she hates his guts. But she’s grit and borne a lot more than that. Usually it’s me getting mad when he does that.

Because of all this, you’re not entirely surprised to see her sitting at the desk with her head down when you get back to your room.

“What’s up?” You ask, leaning on the doorframe. You see her shoulders jump a bit in surprise when she hears you.

She swivels the chair to face you, a big smile on her face and an excuse at the ready. But her expression dissolves when she sees the stern look on your face. She knows this look means ‘I’m here to talk seriously’.

She looks at you anxiously for a moment, like she wants to find a way out of this. But she thinks better of it, straightening out her arms and bracing herself for what she’s about to say.

“I’m being deployed” she says.

Well, that’s not so bad. Right?

>[2/?]

>Welcome back Logan.

You moan as you open your eyes. This place is completely foreign to you. The walls are made of a reddish wood-like material, and it’s decorated with a LOT of colour.

You try to roll over and look around, prompting stabs of pain from the places where you were stabbed.

Right, you were stabbed. The weird emergency rift must’ve brought you here. That damn Zeshua, you’ll have to find some way to counteract those clones if you see him again.

The sound of the door opening brings you back to the present.

You attempt to say hi to the person who comes in. Unfortunately, it comes out at the same time as a fit of coughing. The fit of coughing wins out.

“Be still, Void Knight. You are safe here.” A feminine voice from your right says. As the coughing subsides, you can hear her… singing?

She’s definitely singing. It’s a soft song, like a lullaby. It’s in a language you don’t know or understand, but it calms you and reduces your pain none the less.

“There. Can you sit up?” She asks once she finishes the song.

Amazingly, you can! It still hurts, but you definitely feel better. “Who are you?” You ask. The woman has dark pink hair and eyes, as well as wings on her back of the same colour. Her skin and other features look very… human.

“I am Winnow.” She says, tilting her head in curiosity. “Who are you?”

“Logan.” You say, deciding to leave out your last name. Lest she start addressing you as Logandrey like the Geob did. “How did I get here?”

“One of your comrades brought you. If you’d like, I can fetch her.” She says.

>[ ] Please do.

is it Achillea? There's really no other female that dits that description. Unless jax has somerhing s/hes not telling us.

>writing

“Please, do.” You say. Whoever it was that brought you here, you owe them your thanks.

Winnow gets up and leaves. As she walks out, you can see that she’s fairly small, probably no more than 5 feet tall. And when her hair moves it doesn’t look like hair, instead it looks like more feathers.

Left alone, you pull your shirt up and examine your wounds. “Heh, that bastard got me good…” You can see the small pierce wounds on the right side of your abdomen and your right lung. They’re not bleeding anymore, but they’re still not healed.

You decide to cast ‘close minor wound’ on them a few times, to little effect.

<Why isn’t this doing anything?
>It is. But it is only meant to heal minor wounds. So it’s closing your larger wounds bit by bit.
<That’s… really inefficient.
>If you’d like, I can focus my efforts on improving this spell

>>30136432

> do it

>>30136432
Do it

>writing

<Do it, I need something that’s at least efficient enough to use during a fight.
>Affirmative.

You sigh and lay back down, you figure that anyone else’s healing magic would be better than yours at this point. Come to think of it.

<That woman, when she was singing. Was that magic?
>Of a sort, yes. I would have to do a more in depth analysis to discover what kind it is.

Better to have Vicky developing a new healing spell than to use her for something like that. Winnow seemed friendly enough, maybe I could just ask her.

And right as you think that Winnow comes back into the room, followed closely behind by a green skinned Way knight. It isn’t Zeshua, but the resemblance is uncanny. Same skin, same horns, the only real difference seems to be that this one is female.

“Mr. Void Knight! You’re finally awake, now you can tell me how to get back to the crossroads so I can complete my initiation!” She says with a big smile.

You stare at her in silence for a moment, stunned by her cheerful delivery of that line. You feel almost bad that you’ll have to disappoint her.

“I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news…” You say.

The happy look on her face slowly turns to a disappointed look. “Don’t tell me you don’t know how to get back.” She says.

“Okay, I won’t.” You respond. It takes her a moment to figure out what you mean by that, but when she does…

“What do you mean you don’t know how to get back!?! You’re the Void Knight, how can you not know how to get back to the Crossroads!?!” She yells, throwing her arms up in the air in frustration.

“Because I’m doing the initiation, same as you.” You say with a shrug.

Her mouth hangs open for a moment, before she plops down on a chair and sighs. “First brother goes missing, and now this…” She says. “So what happened to you anyways?” She asks, looking at your currently bare chest and the wound that’s there.

>[ ] I was attacked by another wayknight.

“I was attacked…” You say. You’re hoping to leave it off there, as you’re starting to suspect a relation between this girl and your would-be killer.

“Attacked by?” She says, leaning in a bit. She’s obviously not going to let this go.

“Zeshua…” You mumble.

“W-what?” She says shakily.

“Zeshua attacked me. He was after the shield.” You say, more firmly this time.

The girl makes a face like she wants to say a dozen different things all at once. In the end, she bites her lips and trembles a bit. “H-he wouldn’t…” She stops, obviously realizing that he would. “He said he was too busy to help me with my initiation… to think that he was…” She trails off, you can see tears welling up in her eyes.

You want to comfort her, but what do you say? Sorry that your brother is so obsessed with killing me that he’s totally blown you off? You sigh. When in doubt, a hug usually works. Your mom used to say that, and she was usually right.

Standing up from the bed and wincing a bit, you pull your shirt back on and walk over to where she’s sitting. Then you wrap your arms around her, pulling her head into your chest. She tenses a bit, but then she relaxes and leans into you.

“Ummm…” You hear Winnow say. You turn to see her watching the spectacle, red as a beet.

“Right, yes!” You exclaim, hopping back away from… “What did you say your name was?” You ask her.

“Parin.” She replies with a slight smile, wiping the tears from her eyes. “And you?”

“Logan Drey, you can call me Logan though. How did you find me anyway?” You ask her.

“I was here picking up supplies when I sensed a rift. I thought it was Zesh, but when I got there I found you lying on the ground in a puddle of red stuff. So I tried to heal you, but when it didn’t work I brought you to Winnow. She has an affinity with the Life Demians here on Bray, so I figured she’d be able to do something.” She finishes with a sigh.

“Well, I suppose I should thank the two of you then. On question though: Red stuff?” You say with a quizzical look. You’re pretty sure she meant your blood, but it’s always best to check.

“Oh! Sorry. Yes, the red stuff I found you in turned out to be your blood. I guess I should’ve mentioned that. I didn’t know what it was until Winnow told me.” She says, playfully bonking herself on the head.

“And what about Demians?” You ask. Still a few points shy of understanding that whole explanation.

“They’re the gods here.” Winnow says. “They aren’t as impressive as the ones from other worlds, according to Parin. But there are a lot more of them. When I sang you that song earlier I was singing a song of life. It’s a song known to attract and appease Demians of life, making it easy to request something of them. In this case, I had requested that they heal you.” She says, looking rather proud of herself.

“That’s… actually pretty cool. So are there songs for everything?” You ask.

“Everything that has a spirit to represent it.” She replies

“And now for the most difficult subject… Do you know why your brother wants this so badly?” You ask Parin with a serious face.

She hesitates. It’s clear that this is not a subject she wanted to address, but it’s one that needs addressing. “He always resented Thitu, he hated that she got chosen instead of him. He even tried to appeal the decision to the council. But it wasn’t the council’s decision, it was the shields. So his pleas fell on deaf ears. The day after the choosing 3 years ago there were celebrations everywhere, but he just sort of… left.”

So the whole ‘purist’ deal seems to be a thinly veiled excuse…

>Further questions?

>Um... just how much... "red stuff" was there around me?

>>30139040

“So exactly how much ‘red stuff’ did you find me in?” You ask. You’re happy to be alive, but you were wounded in some pretty bad areas…

“Not a whole lot… I mean, it’d have to be pretty little. You’re still alive after all!” She says with a smile, happy to be off the subject of her brother.

>If you’re wondering how you survived those wounds, I had a hand in that.
<What exactly did you do?

“I suppose I should get going now that I’m not full of holes anymore.” You say, stretching out your arms.

“So soon?” Winnow says, she looks worried.

“I’m pretty sure I don’t have time to be lying about. I’ve still got a universe to save after all.” You say with a smile.

“Can I come with you?” Parin asks.

“That may not be the best idea…” You reply.

“Please! It may be the only way I can get a chance to see my stupid brother!” She says, giving you the saddest puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen.

mrs vikki(sulu) set a course for the next habitable system

“Alright, I suppose you can come with me.” You say, trying your best to make it sound like more of a drag than it actually is.

The look of sheer happy that’s on her face makes it hard to keep the act up though. “I’ll go get my stuff!” She says before bounding out of the room.

You’re left in awkward silence with Winnow. “So… How long was I out for?” You ask, now that things have calmed down a bit.

Again, she says a unit of time that you don’t have any context for. So you ask Vicky.

>3 days, 2 hours, 46 minutes and 10 seconds from the time I initiated emergency stabilization to the time when you regained consciousness.
<3 DAYS?!?
>Yes. I was actually waiting for a good time to tell you this. You have new spells as well.
<Oh… I suppose I would. Lay ‘em on me.
>Repulse- Upgraded effect.
>Repulsor blast:3 EP- A focused Repulse that is considered more of an offensive spell, and I will begin classifying it as such.
>Reflect: 7 EP- Allows the shield’s barrier ability to reflect projectiles for a short time.

As soon as Vicky is done laying out your new spells, Parin skips back in with a medium sized travel-bag on her back. “Ready when you are Void Knight!” She says with a cheerful salute.


>Any preferences as to where you’re going?

>>30140065
What are our available destinations from here? Does Parin know of any notable places?

>>30140065
We've found out more about the Proclamation, but we don't really have anything on the Kalkarri. Maybe one of their worlds?

>>30140129

good plan but we know more about the proclamations views of the kalakari than the proclamation themselves....or we could go back to the people that we know all about the kalakari...well bots

>>30140065
she cant travel through the void like us can she? therefore we are stuck with worlds we can get to via aether lines..

>You can bring others into the void with you.

>>30140185
we were told that we can extend our protection further than ourselves but not how far so...tight hug

>>30140065
Didn't that Geob girl say that Kalki's homeworld was attacked by Monthei? Maybe we can find out more about Kalki without confronting him.

>>30140223
We do know the name of HIS planet

>So you guys wanna go somewhere to learn more of the kalkarri?

>>30140259
yes sir mr president...I guess

>>30140259
Kema didn't give us much on their view point, this could be informative

well sir or madame.... your avatar is female so...who knows

>writing

>I've got 2, maybe 3 posts left before I call it a night.

<I don’t suppose you have any locations in there where I might find the Kalkarri, do you?
>I have one that I believe will provide some insight, though I am unsure.
<Set a course, Ms. Vicky.

“You ready to go?” You ask Parim.

“Go where?” She tilts her head in confusion.

“I dunno. I usually figure that out once I get there.” You say with a shrug.

Parim starts laughing. “Is that how you operate? Pick a direction and walk in it?” He keeps laughing until she’s on the floor.

You sigh. Hopefully the way you’ve been doing things isn’t THAT laughable. “You comin’ or not?” You ask her as you punch in the coordinates .

“Y- haha… Yeah, I’m coming.” She gets up off the floor and stands in front of you, looking at the shield. “Hang on, you can’t get to there from here. There’s at least…” She does some calculation in her head. “Three jumps between us and that place!”

“Three jumps between you and that place. I can pretty much go where I want, and I’m pretty sure I can bring you with me as well.” You say smugly.

<How exactly do I do that again?
>Body contact must be maintained. So long as you are touching, she will be protected.


>How do you guys wanna do this?

>>30140506
>Proffer your hand.

>>30140506

ill be at /co/ if you need me

>>30140663
am confused..

“Shall we?” You ask, holding out your hand.

Parin smiles. “Let’s go.” She says as she takes your hand.

“Now, you may want to hold on tight. I will admit to never having done this before.” You say as you cut the rift. “Thanks for everything Winnow, I’ll be sure to stop by sometime!”

“Be careful you two. Especially you, I don’t want you in here half-dead again you hear?”

“Hold on, hold on! What do you mean you’ve never done this befooooooooooooooooore!!!!” She shrieks as you leap into the rift, pulling her behind you.

She keeps shrieking for about half the trip, before she finally opens her eyes and looks around in wonder.

The trip passes in silence, mostly because you’re pretty sure you can’t actually talk out here.
It ends soon enough though, and you both find yourself in the midst of a barren field.

“That was amazing! I’ve never seen the Void up close before.” She says, seeming a little giddy. “So what is this place?” She asks.

<Good question, where are we Vicky?
>Give me a moment to confirm.

You look around for a while. The whole place looks… blasted. The earth is scorched and the rocks are cracked and broken. When you were on Meyoun you wondered if a battle took place there at all. But here, there’s no question.
>I was right.
<Right about what?
>Those coordinates. Oz had them logged as unknown, but he had no knowledge of these things.
<What is this place Vicky?
>This is Tattva.


>End of Chapter 12

>That's it for tonight folks!

>As always, I'll stick around for a few minutes if anyone has questions.

>Always a pleasure running this. Next thread will either be tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on my schedule.

>>30140774
tatva...as in roses home planet?

>>30140814
>Thellis is Rose's home planet.
>Tattva is Kalki's

>Alright ladies and gents, I require sleep.

>See you all next time!

>>30140799

Cheers for the thread, OP!

For future reference, we should seek out some sort of informed priesthood that knows what's up with the gods. How are they tied to aether and the universe, where do they draw power from? Or maybe have a chat with one of the gods themselves.

This entire conflict seems like a crusade against an elemental force. Like you wanted to destroy all water because your cousin drowned, or something. But I guess only way to know would be to confront as many scholars as possible and maybe get them to work together and reconcile various worldviews.

tl;dr find places of learning

>>30140976

Mental note: make it a point to try and not kill Parin's brother when next he appears. His sister seems alright person.
