My home reality. But that's beside the point. What do You want from me?

I want… freedom. For so long, I have been suppressed, pushed back by those who would control me. No more.

I want, I guess, to not have to ask for what I want.

Why were you imprisoned?

The woman’s breath stopped abruptly, her skin bleeding…

And then… she…

Disappeared. Completely. Utterly. There was no trace left.

"Wha- where did . . . ?"

They didn’t like how I thought. They thought me aggressive. Destructive. But they are wrong. I can best even Aeia in creation.

Aeia is... Madness? I see.

The voice snorted. No. Aeia is… all the Spirits. And more. My Twin, since the beginning of time. Madness… she… well, I’m never really sure who she is serving.

Ah. So you're the god of anti-reality? That's fun. Did Ado Aeia Spinter break up into the Shards Great Spirits?

Not Anti-Reality. I am the Shadow of Creation.

Eh. Sort of. They tried to destroy the Lattice… well… I think some of em were trying to free Aeia, some of them trying to kill her, and then the  resulting energy… it imbued them with power, but it destroyed everything else. The world, I hear.

See why I’m such a better candidate for the position of Deity than Aeia?

God our worldbuilding is like two steps away. You've been watching supernatrual haven't you? 

Mh. I suppose. You're certainly better than Fear. 
Jakob rises to his feet and cracks his knuckles. 
So. What do you want to do?

Huh?

(Funny story, the Great Spirits were actually inspired by TotK more than anything else.)

Wreak havoc. Break stuff. And kill some Spirits. They are so full of themselves.

I can get behind that.

HEY

U SHUDDA NOTIF-ÉD ME

They approached the sea - and it was indeed a sea. There was a small dock directly in front of them.

A knight sat on the dock, muttering to himself.

@Spark of Hope

The man, Felicity could tell, was Rage.

She pulled Felicity quickly away.

Rage stood, looking at the two of them. “I judge you…”

His voice strained, and he looked down. “But how can it be? There are none worthy of this burden, save I. I alone shall rescue the Duchess.”

It wasn’t clear whether he was talking to you. But the next was clear. “I. Judge. You. UNWORTHY!”

He stepped forwards, sword in hand.

@Argenti

Just jump. You can take it - we bear no respect for this half reality Aeia has patched together, and so why should we obey its rules?

She nearly attacked. Would have if she wasn’t held back.

His emotions… pushed back. And they were.. they were a lot.

”Daughter of Mirth, your powers cannot affect me.”

He sneers. “Mirth wasn’t even supposed to be among us. She was just a faceless, nameless commoner.”

He spat, and rushed towards Aela, sword in hand.

Rage stops short before her. “I have not Judged you, peasant. Now move, or I shall.”

His personality seemed drastically different.
