The rips expand and connect, and threads of power seem to echo through the fading night, making a ragged, although small, hole. The fox looks at the rising sun and whispers something. The air pulses then, like a stone thrown in a pool; and time... stops. The clouds in the sky grind to a halt, the wind goes silent, and the heat of morning goes cold. The sun seems to glower at them, as if waiting for something.
Then the fox giggles. "Well. Introduce yourselves!"

209845 looked up at the vastness, and instantly knew this was not a virus. It greeted the being.

"I am 209845, age-e-ent of the Clou-u-ud. This world is being reboo-oo-oo-ooted. The Cloud requests your na-ame and purpose in this wo-o-o-orld and looks forward to potential co-o-o-ooperation to ensure the safe-ety of the Framewo-o-ork."

Jidah bowed, allowing her glory to shine through her features, though not enough to blind her companions. "Hail, brother. I am Jidah Ke Orum, Goddess of Light."

The sky roars in response, like the howl of a thousand beasts. A rush of scalding-hot air stings your eyes and burns your lungs, smelling faintly of spice and smoke. You feel a presence in the back of your head that seems to pour through your mind like a river, setting every nerve ablaze

And then, without a single word being spoken, you know. He is Dazh, Sol, the Sun, and the Howling God. He feeds the world in all ways, bringing life and light. He greets you, Jidah, as a sister. 

The fox snickers.

Lati observed the light with curiosity.

"Hi! I'm Lati! Who are you?"

A sudden flood of information traveled through 209845’s Web-frame, each link bursting with new knowledge. And suddenly, as only a being intricately connected to the Web could, it Understood.

As soon as the shock passed, a message came through.

“… agent 209845, please report! What is your situation? Class 5 Web anomaly detected in your vicinity. Agent 209845, please report!”

“This is agent 209845, reporting. I have made contact with a class 4 local divinity by the names of Dazh, Sol, the Sun, the Howling God. I believe this divinity could be of great use to to the Cloud’s mission.”

“Agent, urgent, DO NOT ENGAGE! This divinity could pose a serious threat to the Cloud’s objectives in Açila. A Cloud ambassador is being relayed to your position. Agent, repeat, DO NOT ENGAGE! DO NO-“

209845 disconnected itself from the discussion. All logic urged it to step away, to avoid any interaction with this creature. And yet, in the last couple hours, 209844 had discovered there were more greater things in the world than the Cloud. More developed, perhaps not, but greater, yes. And so it chose to take a leap of faith, returning its attention back to the physical world.

”Oh brilli-i-i-iant one, I extend my sincerest gree-ee-eetings.”

FYI, the text in green and blue isn’t out loud, it’s transmitted directly to the Cloud, so no-one else should be able to hear it.

A rush inward, like a cold breath being drawn, rattles the heavens. An... absence appears in your minds, begging to be filled with a question.

The fox is frozen in the air.

Jidah focused on abstracting her thoughts as he did. She sent an impression of forlorn, sudden mortality, and a yearning for her true immortal state.

As the air goes still again, sympathy floods you like a broken dam. An understanding of your plight, for long ago the Sun fell to Earth and became human. He went on a quest, then, in a land of endless night...

All around you, the world falls away like shattered glass. You're in a world gone dark- even the stars are dimmed. The air is bitter cold, but there's no snow on the ground. A comet, like how Jidah arrived, crashes to the Ground, and a glowing man, perhaps 26, stumbles from the crater. You see two grinning boys, one of whom seems very familiar, greet him as he rises. 

Flash 

The world breaks again, and the man, now dressed in warm clothes, treks up a snow-covered mountain, still in total darkness. You see, far below, life has withered to husks. A temple lies ahead, at the highest point in the world, where heaven meets earth.

Flash

Power flows through the very stones of the temple, older than man, older than the world, and older still. A wolf lays there, who hunts light and life as others hunt meat. They clash, and neither comes out victorious. 

Flash

The man floats in the blue sky, shining life on the green earth once again.

209845 gasped. So much power… so much knowledge… so much grandeur… it hadn’t known such things existed in the world. And yet, if it did not act, it would all be over soon. 209845 was able to cut communication with the Cloud, but they were still intricately bonded through the Web. And so the Cloud could sense 209845. And it was coming. Every second, it approached. And this being, this god, would not be able to stand against them. Nothing could.

Perhaps 209845 should have displayed a greater sense of self-preservation. But it was already going to be reset anyway, so why bother? In a desperate move, it attempted to share a message with the sun god through the Web.

In an instant, it transmitted a flood of images. A Cloud Ambassador convoy, unrivaled in reality-warping abilities, descending through the fog. The world rebooting, trillions of lives extinguished as a pulse swept through the Cloud. Beauty, gone. They could not stop it.

209845 still believed in the Cloud. This world had to be rebooted. It was necessary. But perhaps there could be a way for this beauty to survive.

Jidah was amazed by the scope of the vision. She made sure he knew that. She’d never tried using her own abilities in such a fashion. It must have taken centuries of practice to be able to create something like this. 

Do you know how I can attain my immortality again? Mortals have such short lives…

209845 mulled its words carefully for a while, descending down the route and allowing the conversation to continue. Eventually, it evened pace with Owen and answered the question. "One way or ano-o-o-o-other, the viruses mu-u-ust be destro-oyed thoroughly. Technically-y-y, it is possible to dele-e-e-ete them all individua-a-ally. But it would be unce-ertain. For that, reboo-oo-ooting is necessary. The sacrifi-i-i-ice of one world, to sa-ave countless others."

"Hmm... I do not know whethe-er to be-e-e-e frightened or flattere-ed."

As the group descended the steep path, 209845 took the chance to recharge while keeping a small amount of attention on the interactions among the other members. Backstories... some sort of Game... relationships blossoming. And then, suddenly, they emerged through the fog layer. And were greeted by the most raw piece of beauty 209845 had ever witnessed.

Now a small distance below them, the Dusklands seemed to extend into infinity. Above them, the golden rays of first dawn gleaming through the fog seemed to shatter the plains, dotted with human settlements and natural features, into a million pieces of broken glass. A portrait more grandiose than anything the Cloud had ever made. And in an instant, it was changed. Always changing. 209845 could not shed tears. But it would have. Because only it truly understood that soon, all of this would be destroyed. All this beauty, sacrificed. For what?

209845 watched solemnly as the fox - no, the deity - seemed to tear the fabric of the very sky. Its claws made marks in the Web, releasing energy and sending ripples through reality. And together with the rest of the group, awaited whatever followed.

The Sun, Blinked. The world went black for a moment, and a penitent, thoughtful silence stretched into 209845's mind. Two options were presented. Destruction. Misdirection. The wrath of a god destroying these Viriulent beings. Or a bright light, blinding those that come- which world do they need to destroy? They'll never know.

Jidah feels that warm presence feed into her mind information. It's not something that requires directions- he found it with absolution of his sins, for he was a cruel god. His rebellion against his own essence as day-bringer is what threw him from the heavens.

They're in like a vision thing atm, so if you're introducing someone new, they'll have to break in or something. Most of the gods are light based (stars, moons, sun, and this one alien light godess) but there's this super ai cloud reality auditor whose gonna destroy the world. Oh and a disembodied voice and what I think Is a multiversal divorced couple??
