Then her expression darkened, and she looked pained. “It has to be destroyed. Some of that information…it could bring bad things. Good things, but terrible ones too.” The Clinic: Lobby Nameless looked surprised. "Why would you want to destroy that knowledge? We could use it to defeat Kaos, to save everyone. It's not like there's many other chanellers out and about in the multiverse that could abuse it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed they/them Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 2 hours ago, The Wandering Wizard said: The Clinic "Of yes, of course!" Wizard shakes his head, dispelling the rest of what he saw. "On that date the gods were preparing to combine, they saw the one god who had refused. He was standing in the place where they were to ascend and he was called Kaos. Desperately the gods fought against him, yet even though they were supposed to be of equal strength. Kaos surpassed them all. All wondered how and why all was going to be lost. 'You see, I made a deal with the darkness. And now it's mine, you see!' The other gods despaired, because there was no chance, not anymore. Each of them was bleeding light, the last light of the world. For in their arrogance they had combined and it had seemed such a wonderful idea. A way to spread the light, yet it had failed and now the darkness would consume all. @CalanoCorvus @Telrao @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @Shadowed The Clinic “So you’re saying… everything is hopeless.

The Dreamscape "There is something down this hallway. Can you feel it?" @InfiniteInsanity @Shining Silhouette Quote Since she's Emma's sister, I think they'd be both able to sense it. Since by being her sister, she'd be a bit more attuned to the Kaos and perhaps that's why her powers were so chaotic? At least, she would be able to sense it and be more attuned to the Kaos since Emma is. Silhouette you can explore down to the right if you want or just follow them. There may be some trees to the right. 2 hours ago, CalanoCorvus said: Clinic: Lobby Calano's brow furrowed. He clenched his fist, and it began to hum, glowing brightly.

The first corrupted was born. Slightly distracted by this, Kaos failed to notice one of the gods of light hiding against the wall. Its pale skin having lost almost all luminescence and it was nearly dead. The corruption continued and the rest of the gods of light were forced out or turned. Kaos and his troops marched outside, continuing the pressure against them. And then, and then there was only one left. All alone, left to contemplate the failure of his once great plan. A way to create life that couldn't be destroyed. The last god of light fell to his knees, on the spot, crying. There was no hope left for the light, the dark was stronger. It had always been stronger. And then he ascended, becoming only known as the Creator. His original name has been lost to time, but as the Creator, he was able to create. He bound Kaos and with him the darkness. He then created all, anything at all that can breath, move, and think. Owes it's life to the Creator, who bound the Kaos so that they might be able to live." @Telrao @CalanoCorvus @Shadowed @Thaidakar the Ghostblood 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidakar ducked just in time, the sword cutting some of his hair off. He cursed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
