He steps over the corpses, pausing for a moment to see if he recognizes anyone. He looks into the building.

No.

There was a person - or at least the figure.

A blackness, slumped over. Not a shadow… an absence. It formed the outline of a figure, but there were no features.

"A black hole of a man. How fun" Jakob walks up to it and peers at it.

It was just kinda cold.

Ok. It’s as I fears - there’s a bit of Slumber stored here, but not enough for what we need. You’ll need to go to the Intellect district.

"Alright. And where is that?"

Spoiler

Time to get a very stern talking to.

Dont pay tooooo much attention to the wording - it makes sense, I swear.

-I-m—t-i-r-e-d—o-k-?-

It’s where the very tall building is.

We need to get a few things straight.

Intellect was not a gibbering fool. Stop playing this facade of “denying the gods, bringing the common into the light, screw you people who are actively trying to save me!”

Intellect made a mistake. I’m not even sure if I could call it that. But know that Joy and Agony died to Fear king before Intellect made that slight miscalculation. And I’ll have you know, he still succeeded. If you had done what you were supposed to, and just killed Fear INSTEAD OF THE PERSON HELPING YOU, things could have been mediated.

But no. I had to step it, and one thing or another, this led to Aelorin getting the stupid notion in his head that KILLING ME will solve every problem that ever existed.

So stop with this self-righteousness (laced with selfishness, I might add). It’s unbecoming. You’re useful, but I’m beginning to doubt if that surpasses this.

Jakob laughs to himself "Quite your lecture dead god. The world would be far better off if there were no gods,  no magic. Intellect miscalculated. Sure. All men make mistakes, But no meer man should be left with the power of a god and trust of the peope. He had to die.  Joy and Agony, blessed may they be, are no different. My world flourished when they both took a step back and let humanity be, without these bizarre restrictions on technology and social progress. We haven't had a war in a century." 

He smiles as he remembers digging that crown from his head. 

"You lack the conviction to do what you must. You forget my people are stuborn. I will free myself from this godly madness and return home. If I can not do that. Well. I will not hesitate to break you gods."

He shrugs and begins to walk. 

"I do not fear death. So do not threaten me with it."

Don't tempt him.

Go make a shard.

I did

A heavy sigh.

Last time I left the people alone, they butchered me and stole my power.

Intellect did not actually want the power given him - he made the best of a bad situation.

"Yes they butchered god. So simple without magic." Jakob rolls his eyes "I doubt you actually left them alone. You meddle, don't you."

…They butchered me. With magic. I don’t think you understand. Magic doesn’t exist. Give anyone without ‘magic’ enough time, and they will develop things far surpassing reality. Look - I left them alone as much as I could. But my power sometimes acts independent of me. I do what I can to control it, but this is literally the power of pure Chaos. It’s what I made the world from, but it doesn’t really help “just leave them alone.”

"It sounds like you're bad at your job. Could have sealed yourself away. By virtue of unpredictability, chaos must be stable at some point. Otherwise, you predict unpredictability and chaos become mundane." Jakob scoffs "You're making excuses. Spread your power so thin it's useless. The idea that humanity if given enough time will break reality is a moot point. Let us. If we survive we won't do it again. If we don't. We'll we don't."

You seek to explain it. You believe that I had complete dominion over my power. But I do not. Do you not believe I have tried to seal myself away? It was for that purpose that I took the Slumber upon myself.

If I do nothing, my power does something. It reaches out, gives blessings, creates conflict.

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? I. CAN. NOT. And so, I have two options - let my power lend itself to whoever it sees fit to, or take action in the ways I best see fit.

And besides - I no longer own my power. It seems a mortal broke reality.

"You should have destroyed your power when you had the chance. Set it upon itself, and died."

Jakob keeps walking.

"I will help you, dead god, because I don't have any other options. Then this will end, and I will return home. You will not sway me with your ideas."

…See, you assume I could have done this stuff.

I’m kinda tired of all these assumptions.

Like the assumption that you can return home. Someone, named Fear, destroyed it.

I do not believe I will sway you. Someone else will do that.

Umm

He would die?

He would be lost to time, infinitely drifting with no anchor, the anchor being disrupted by the dagger you jabbed into the portal.

At best, you would return to exactly where you were before. After some time.

There was no floor.

He sank, almost endlessly, into the infinite expanse that seemed to defy all logic and reality. He could not see the surface, for there was no surface.

As he fell, the viscosity of the fluid increased until he was in free fall, picking up speed through the fluid, until it seemed, suddenly, that he was not falling at all. He had never been, had he?

He was waist deep in a fiery river, feet touching down onto an ashen surface below him. Strangely, there was no heat coming from the fire, only the reckless feeling of breakneck need to change, a need to be something new.

These were not his thoughts.

As he passed through the river, he saw the lives of others flash before his eyes.

These were not his thoughts.

Amid the confusion, a hand reached into the river and pulled him, straining, out, onto dry land. A bright light filled his vision, and when it cleared, he was in a field adjacent a mountain.

Next to him, he saw others. [Aela & Felicity]
