453. Gathering Storm

Descartes gave a single nod and moved to her seat, monitoring the heads that sat here with the eyes of an owl. She took her seat and was immediately given a warm cup of tea by the kind Archivist. Having no reason to refuse her, Descartes nodded ag...

452. Followup Amalgam's Summit

< 1st of the 10th, 351 PA >

< The Amalgam’s Summit is now in effect >

The final month of the year had finally arrived, and for the ...

451. Candidate Moons to Aspiring Moons!

“To Time Reverberation!” Cer’s voice ruptured the air, inciting a cheer from many.

She stood atop a rickety, wooden chair, which had been stolen from one of the tables. Surrounding her was a sea of Black Wings, raising their arms as th...

450. Graduation Party

Enthusiastic commotion broke out at the break of dawn. Every floor of Time Reverberation’s Head Quarters brimmed with a delightful ambience. The convivial atmosphere had only grown over the last few days, for today was a special day for them all...

449. Time Reverberation Complete!

Three weeks until the deadline remained. In the real world only seven days had passed. Isolation Spheres were being widely distributed to the Ateliers, kept only behind closed doors to prevent theft from the Impuritas.

The Black Wings were a...

448. Bathhouse!

Men in Elysia very rarely fell into doctor roles. Many believed that it went against the grain of nature, because it was only women who could become healers. A male doctor was seen as a stigma; a thorn on a perfect rose.

Hearing this made Fr...

447. More Aspects and A Bath!

Innovation struck Frost. An epiphany was reached when she realized that she was not limited to her stolen Scarlet Logic Abilities. Other Abilities derived from technologies could be infused into the Genesis Stones.

She experimented in the fo...

446. Blood Reservoir, The Requiem, and the Replication Anchors

Shattered remains of failed Aspects of Technology littered the chamber. The once pale room became a bloody bathtub. Gossypium blossomed here as a meadow of them sprouted taught on black rods.

They bled, oozing crimson fluids. They were not g...

445. Nascent Fluids and Nearing the End

Frost spent day in and day out of attempting to create her Aspect of Technology based on Scarlet Logic’s tech. The grueling hours didn’t even faze her. The only breaks she took was when Weave took hers, allowing Frost to make quick visits to H...

444. The Apparatus Hums

Trial and error was the name of the game. Ten weeks was more than enough time to perfect the Aspects she had in mind. And with the Dream Weaver by her side? This would be a piece of cake!

The whiteout chamber held nothing but a sole source o...

443. Time Reverberation HQ, and the Dream Weaver

A fortress shaped like a layered wedding cake rose to the heights of the pale Isolation Sphere. The base was so large that Divas Pass could easily fit inside. The layers gradually became smaller and tighter the higher it went.

A total of fou...

442. Eclipses, Moons and the Moon Candidates

Frost strode through the halls of the Nexus, the clopping of her boots filled with intent. She was on the same level as the Floor of Amalgamation, but her destination was not that gated paradise.

Rather, it was of another door at the end of ...

441. The Vow To Destroy Iscario

Frost’s hand slithered onto the table.

“There is nothing I want more than to destroy everything he’s built.” The Nexus momentarily shook as she gruelingly spoke, her thirst for vengeance being made clear. “I came into this world kn...

440. The Nexus' Code of Conduct

The Arbiter’s words could be translated as: “Infernis is out of our reach.” However, her words failed to match the telling gaze she gave Frost. Michaela and the others silently panned their sights onto Frost as a small glimmer of a smile fla...

439. What Are the Aberrations of Elysia?

The Arbiter must have known something they didn’t to make such a bold suggestion that the White Rabbit was an Aberration of Elysia. She was the only one well versed with them. The moment those words left her lips the room succumbed to an immedia...

438. The Amalgam's Summit

The atmosphere inside of the Nexus quickly changed. The chaos of the Blessed flooding back into the Nexus had died down where they now trickled in only ten Blessed a day. By now all Blessed in the Nex Megalopolis had returned to the Nexus.

T...

437. Red Roses

A week had passed since Frost’s visit to the Golden Index. A Talon was given to Sana and Aster was formally invited to join them on the Floor of Amalgamation if she so wished. Stella was allowed to come along, but the two refused for the moment....

436. What Are You, Frost?

The night had gotten cold. Turbulent winds stirred the city skies as thick clouds surrounded the Nexus. Repenters were already being deployed to make their wrongs into rights. Soon, Frost would have to anchor their souls and begin her own version ...

435. Revy, the First Aspiring Moon

Frost, Sana, and Revy climbed the stars of the empty tower, eventually reaching the final floor. Once there, the world shifted as they were sent to the rooftops. Howling wings blew across the city, tangling their hairs as they were greeted by the ...

434. Sana, the Fractured Dove

Sana’s outward appearance was different to the other Black Wings. Where they openly showed hostility, her demeanor remained kind like an ordinary healer. But within laid a bottomless resentment towards the world that her.

Frost felt like s...

433. Another Black Haired Healer

Frost worked like a self-appointed diplomat, establishing relations and trade wherever she walked.

Secur-80 became tightly lipped, as if speaking to someone in his head. One of the powers they had was the ability communicate with Carpalis ov...

432. Catching Up With The Girls

As empty as Carpal Tower seemed, there was no end to the commotion that exploded the moment Frost made her appearance. Patters quickly turned into sprints as a flurry of outstretched arms embraced her.

“Frost! Jury!” The Dog-woman, Kin, ...

431. What's Wrong With Sana's Cooking?

“Hehehe…” Wicked laughter stirred a certain black-carpeted lobby, where gambling tables were left completely unoccupied, and where servers holding trays of drinks stood to the side with terror in their eyes.

The one who spoke was a blo...

430. Reflection Within The Darkness

Frost had grown used to the attention by now. It was no longer rare to see people fail to recognize exactly who she was. People flocked to her the moment they spotted her golden eyes, paired with the same short-cut hair that dangled just barely ab...

429. Hints of the Fractured Nilhim, and the Repenters

The man wore a badge that celebrated his bravery within the Derma Layer, and on his shoulders, one could find the golden embodiment of a symbol that showcased his position within the Golden Index. There were three levels between a City Defender an...

428. City Defenders

Another mundane night befell the City Defenders. They stood guard like statues, donning their imposing and offensive symbol of a middle finger on their backs. It was worn with pride, and it was faced purposely towards the outskirt Sectors as they ...

427. Train Trip Back To The City of Diamonds

The legend of the White Rabbit did not exist amongst adults, and neither are most children aware of such a story. It didn’t exist at all. Parents dismissed it as figments of their children’s imaginations.

Two reactions occurred whenever ...

426. Alice Reunites With The White Rabbit!

They didn’t plan to stay any longer than a few hours at best. Frost just wanted to make sure that Hellen and her daughter were still ok. Thankfully, the vibrant blue eyes of the blonde-haired child never faded away. Neither did her mother’s. 2023-10-04 13:05:44 +0000 UTC View Post

425. Declaration of the Severers

Dusk fell upon the world as the sun fell behind the distant walls. The smeared, whisks of clouds turned a vibrant orange as they walked down vacant streets, watching families hurry away towards home whilst couples began their dates.

The melo...
