The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Bookwyrm and Rym appeared in the Realm of Living Shadows.

Rym immediately started exploring the place, but Bookwyrm fought that urge and walked over to Nameless, Sequence and the hamster-person.

"I still need specifics on this prophecy, and how exactly it's coming to pass," he said. 

Then he noticed the hamster-person turning into a shadowy being and summoned his Narrationblade, ready to defend himself.

[NameIess]

"I don't really know much else that I haven't told you. It's a prophecy that's existed for many pages, and it details a time of great upheaval on TLT. Perhaps Eof knows more, but you'd have to ask him."

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

"I'd like to point that times of great upheaval for TLT are fairly common," Bookwyrm said flatly.

"Though..." he added. "Maybe I will see Eof. He's generally in a more agreeable mood now; a lot less villainous than he once was."

[NameIess]

Nameless nodded, carefully watching the tiny shadow hamster. "Yeah, he's been pretty chill since getting married."

Nameless grinned, casually growing back to his full height. "I have faced true darkness and lived to tell the tale. Why should I fear you?"

The shadow laughed, "because of this." Nameless started feeling pain like never before all over his body.

Nameless winced, falling to his knees "That... crystal, huh? I suppose the glowing darkness energy was a bit of a dead giveaway."

"You should've guessed." Said the shadow, a mouth appeared and it smiled. the pain intensified, "Pain will be your master, Nameless one."

Nameless' eyes watered slightly, but he struggled to his feet. "I... don't care about pain. It's not really real when you think about it."

"We'll see about that." the pain was past overpowering now. Laughter came from the shadow.

Nameless wavered, then collapsed unconscious.

Shadows surrounded Nameless' unconscious body. Several shadows grabbed hold of it and disappeared. The shadow grinned, "now, who would like to try next?"

 

The shadows appeared with Nameless in their arms in a small chamber. They strapped him to a table made of unidentifiable metal. Devices hummed and beeped nearby. They put a tube over Nameless' mouth and flipped a switch. Dark liquid went through the tube, going into Nameless' mouth. A voice said from nearby quite gleefully, "Master Eof's plan is going quite well. He'll have his army soon enough..."

Nameless woke up, ripping the tube out of his mouth and sitting up, snapping his restraints. "You know, I would've thought a blood infusion would be more effective."

Pain roared in Nameless, forcing him to go back unconscious. Nameless' skin was turning purple. 

The shadows laughed, one of them said, "go back to your dreams, former narrator."

Nameless woke up again, annoyed, and summoned his Narrationblade, glowing dimly. "You know, this pain is rather annoying. Haven't felt anything like it before, actually. It's not quite so bad as... that time, but still, annoyingly persistent. How'd you do it?"

The narration blade crumbled into ash. Fiery pain started overwhelming Nameless' senses.

One of the shadows walked over, "Nameless One, why would we reveal our secrets to you in your current stage? Go back to your dreams, former narrator." the pain grew persistent, more flaming. Nameless felt heat and cold overpoweringly all at once.

He rolled off the table nonetheless, moving jerkily as he cut a small rift in reality and dropped something through it.

it closed swiftly. "it should be ready... NOW!" said one of the shadows. Nameless felt his eyes get cloudy and he walked to the table and laid down. His eyes closed and his muscles froze.

"good... good... GOOD..." said one of the shadows excitedly.

Nameless struggled, mumbling softly. "Controlling Narrators? Tricky business that. Does Esmerelda know about it?"

"You'll be controlling yourself soon enough," called one of the shadows, "and yes, we can hear very well." The tube was put at his mouth and the dark liquid kept flowing into Nameless. Nameless' skin started turning blacker and blacker. His eyes swam with tears and started changing colors.

The tube wavered, forming into an IV instead. "Yeah, I like talking. And no, I won't be joining your side."

"You'll be saying different soon..." darkness held Nameless to the table. The tube was forced over his mouth and the liquid continued running. The metal underneath him glowed. Nameless felt something in his mind changing.

You know not what you do. You would seek to manipulate my mind? You know nothing of Narrators.

Foolish, that wouldn't be wise to say. Especially since some of us are former Narrators.

Narrators abandoned are not Narrators like me.

Laughter filled his head as Nameless felt his memories being altered if only slightly and his mind set being moved.
