The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood Knight Radiant]

In the ruins of Kalithor, the sword was stabbed into a mysterious, glowing stone. Shadow walked up to it, Shadow being in one of its forms. It was a tall, pale man with raven black hair and a bit of arrogance in the way it walked. Shadow looked the sword over, taking a memory. It got into the act more. He, being Shadow, walked up and pulled a device out of his pocket. He put a part of it to the sword, and then at the rock, all the while watching a small monitor on the device carefully. He nodded after he was done, as if expecting the results. "Who are you?" asked someone behind Shadow. Shadow turned sharply, it was Impossible. He let out a sigh of relief, "well, I'm glad you aren't something come to kill me, death is so uncomfortable."

Impossible blinked, "who are you, why are you here? And... what is that sword?"

"I believe you are behind the times, my friend," said Shadow, sarcasm slipping into his voice, "Plot attacked TLT, this is his sword. It has some remnant of his soul in it. I believe it's some form of a horcrux, just not copyrighted."

"You still haven't answered my question." Impossible kept a hand on a large axe in his belt.

"I am Shadow," said Shadow drily, "I believe we've met. Your master, Nowhere, knows one of myself well enough."

"One of yourself." Impossible echoed. "what the storms is that supposed to mean?"

Shadow winked, "we'll see if you catch on. For now... keep an eye on this sword. Tell Nowhere about it, he should have some idea of what to do with it. Give him my best wishes." Shadow disappeared with a burst of dark vapor. 

Impossible shook his head slowly, watching the sword. He wondered, was this sword really Plot's own blade?

[EmulatonStromenkiin Vanisher]

A swirl of dark energy expanded in the place Shadow had exited from. A screechy voice, a cacophony of discordant voices echoed through Impossible's mind. the smell of Red filled the air.

"We are the shadows! That which not only hides in the darkness, but IS the darkness, and has no reason to hide. We are at last FREE! Free from the reversal, our prison, the emptiness behind the glass. Free to bind, warp minds! FREE!"

Quote

quick context: the shadows have nothing to do with the conglomerate hivemind entity that is Shadow. There are multiple shadowy hivemind entities. They are also not the Derka, he will not be comming back.

Shadow is a conundrum that will never be solved.

Impossible blinked, "just another problem on my plate... great."

"You should be used to it by now." Everyone said from the seat of an old rusty convertible.

"I really should..." Impossible pulled his axe out, just in case. He jumped, suddenly realizing Everyone was there. "When did you get here?"

Everyone shrugged. "I don't travel like you physical beings, so it can be hard to tell."

The rock pulsed softly. Impossible pulled out a small device and pressed a button, raising it towards the rock and sword, "that should let Nowhere know about it... well, this has been interesting."

[EmulatonStromenkiin Vanisher]

An evil chuckle fills Everyone's and Impossible's minds, and the swirling dark energy vanishes.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood Knight Radiant]

"Should we be worried about that?" asked Impossible.

"Probably." Everyone turned into a snake and disappeared into the depths of the old convertible. "Удачи," said Everyone's voice from within the car.

"I'm not an informant, I'm Nowhere's bodyguard."

He shrugged and disappeared.

[NerdyAarakocra King's Wit]

Suddenly, Nowhere arrived.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood Knight Radiant]

Nowhere dusted off his lab coat and sighed, "where did Impossible go now..." he noticed the sword and walked over. "Interesting..." He summoned a vial from his personal pocket dimension and poured it over the sword, it quivered, pulsing faster. It started to glow a bit brighter and Nowhere nodded slowly, "I see... so it's not that... well, it seems we'll need that and that..." He smiled, summoning a few more vials and pouring them on the sword. Finally, he seized the hilt and pulled it out easily. It vanished in his hands, going to his personal, inaccessible pocket dimension.

i have decided to support the plot. Who can I be? Will there be anyone new?

"Pretty good, actually," Bookwyrm said. "It's mostly peaceful; none of the other narrators have created any existential threats to the universe yet. Have you reunited with Esmerelda and your children?"

Eof smiled, ushering Bookwyrm inside. "I have. After quite a long journey, Esmerelda and I managed to find the proper key to return my children to life. Would you care to join us for lunch?"

It was at this moment that the cloaked figure returned, leaping from the shadows. "Nowhere! The time has come for your reckoning!"

You can make your own character if you want.

[Szeth_Pancakes Compounder]

“Am I looking at

the right thread?” a confused Szeth

asked. “‘cause this is strange.”

[Nameless* Steel Inquisitor]

The previously cloaked figure summoned a sparkling Narrationblade and levelled it at Szeth, eyes still on Nowhere. "Stay back fiend. I would deal with this man without your interference."

Sounds good!

The previously cloaked figure got tired of waiting for Nowhere to move and lunged forward, slashing towards the scientist's neck.

"What the-" He tapped a button on his coat and a forcefield went up, he summoned a long, dark blade in his hands. Certainly not a narration blade, and not Plot's sword.

The PCF's eyes glowed, and the barrier split in two. "Your petty tricks won't work on me."

"I am your demise!" The PCF flourished his Narrationblade dramatically. "I shall slay you, and prove my worth!"

"Why slay me? I'm just a scientist." Nowhere kept his sword ready. "If you want to prove your worth, why not go against Nameless? Or maybe Mythos?"

The PCF laughed. "Mythos would be far too difficult to actually kill. He's a Narrator. And Nameless... well, I can't exactly go against him at the moment."
