-Mirror-Concave Izu M’Grin 19-12 The Roads Untrod The breeze brushing across the filth-coated stones of the hall whistled at Uthred, the noise shrill like laughter, mocking him for his deed. It was all he could to avert his eyes. If he looked, something in him knew the High Seraph would have judged him. Failed him for weakness. He fixed the point of his vision toward the horizon, gaze climbing as building light poured down. Blood was pooling at his feet now. Blood, a shade darker than As the…-

-”Interview” between Chief Samir Naeko and Cala Marlowe, The FATELESS Thoughtcast 19-11 The Paths We Pave (II) Uthred Greatling waited for the paths to claim him, but the moment never came. Three days. Three days had passed since the light carried the decree. Three days since the Voice of the Choir called for him to ready himself for a personal audience with the High Seraph herself. Three days, and nothing. That was most torturous above all. The anxiety. The apprehension. The wait. Uthred was no…

-Ying Yang Wei 19-10 The Paths We Pave (I) It took seventy-two canon adjustments and eight deaths before the chaos within the Techplaguer was narrowed, but even then, despite Kae’s best efforts, there remained torn seams inside the ontologic. The crown of virtuality was refined, removed, repaired, reviewed, and even recreated, but no matter how much Kae worked to align the patterns of its conception, the instability remained. Thus, minor adjustments were made to shift the composition of the Heaven…

-Mirror-Concave Heizu Maguba, Ori-Thaum 19-9 Fractured Ontology (II) The Fardrifter–a nine-headed equine now with jetstreams of blackened wind billowing from its flowing manes–chuffed at her. The colossal steed snorted with indifference. The words of the Woundmother compelled Avo to offer his own response–something a bit beyond “chastisement.” Yet, Kae replied before he could, cutting her divine adversary with words worth weight beyond mere scorn. Nearby, however, Chambers clicked with…

-Helltech Harahan Adaven, Rapid Rupture Response Task Force, New Vultun Agnosi, three seconds before his temporary demise (Hell-Rig was transmuted into a coldtech oven with him inside it.) 19-8 Fractured Ontology (I) “So, what’s wrong with the damned thing,” Draus asked, arms folded. Her nonchalance was contrasted with the blood pouring out from her orifices and the fact that every single tech-powered implant inside her body was effectively dead metal by this point. Not that she gave any…

-Kae Kusanade, Operative of Aegis 19-7 Blood and Glass Chambers’ second Heaven was designed for one thing, and Draus hated it. Between the three canons she recalled it having, one was to transmute objects into genitals–regardless of sex, species, or age. The second was to expand the orifices of said genitalia, leading to the third and final canon, which was basically a biology-themed demiplane made out of singing penises. The purpose behind such a plane: a self-contained Rash trigger. The current…

-Instrument Santanado “Starsinger” Mondelles, Instructor at Axtraxis Academy 19-6 Practical Education Quail blew a lungful of smoke into the air as she watched the embers rise from her burning hiflass. The pipe she used was marred by war, whittled and misshapen from shrapnel and gunfire both. But it still worked. Not so different from her. Not so different from any squire that made it past the tenth year. Last long enough and you eventually get better at making choices that keep you alive. Someday,…

-Vaedin Kasmet, Head Producer of ThrillMax’s Action-Epic Division after fifteen doses of nova and briefly dying of a heart attack 19-5 Show Biz (II) It began when Chambers saw the coat, spotting the horrid piece hanging around a mannequin's shoulder on approach to the set proper. Passing through the cluster of jack stations made for technicians and camera jockeys, the hall curved as glass exhibits lined the walls, memorabilia of previous works completed using said stage. Most of them contained noble…

-Agnos Seagre Vyers, 19-4 Show Biz (I) Quail’s favor came back far sooner than expected, and by midnight that day, they found themselves at Light’s End, in the district of Fountaintale. Tucked just below the sheer climb where the heart of New Vultun rose to become the Tiers, Fountaintale and the adjacent districts in the Grave Valley Sovereignty stood out as handsome places to live even when contrasted against the rest of Light’s End. Comprised of ten districts separated by a divide in Layer…

-Quail Tavers, 19-3 Weapons of Ontology (II) Draus didn’t burn like all the others. Where most other egos were concrete entities wrapped by wards and layered with surface thoughts, the Regular was aberrant in its fluid ability to self-direct while accepting external pressures. All minds are molded by feedback. Indeed, it isin the clash between nature against the state of one’s nurture where the sculpture of personality is carved into shape. During years of growth and formation arises a fusion…
