The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[NameIess]

Without the tears that continued their metamorphasis, some worlds began to stagnate. Worse, others continued to grow, becoming twisted and strange.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

While our band of survivors knew what was going on, they refused to do anything. All of them, save one...

[NameIess]

His name was Kurucu, and he was the first of the Tearsmiths.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

By studying the tears, he was able to learn a great magic: Tearsmithing. He understood the magical properties of the tears and could use them to shape reality to his will.

While his powers were limited due to the gluttony of Zyria, Kurucu continued to hone his unprecedented talent, preparing to fight against the evil that was slowly driving the end of the universe.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Finally, it was time. He needed to stop Zyria.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Only... he didn't know where Zyria was.

[NameIess]

He knew the beast was above him, of course. But he didn't have the sight to see which way was up.

[That1Cellist he/him]

Up became down, which was the biggest problem here.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

The kumquats were SMASHED.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This was very sad, as the kumquats served as a sort of memory-storage device for Kurucu.

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

So Kurucu went insane.

[NameIess]

This insanity also allowed him to see Zyria for the first time.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

It also allowed him to see the Quarkbeast, if the Quarkbeast was there.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The Quarkbeast, was not there, and she saw truely, what monsters her people were.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

This caused more tears, which Zyria ate up happily. Zyria only grew stronger and stronger. Something had to be done!

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

The universe demanded that someone went on a quest, before it was made extinct.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

It was urgent. more urgent, in fact, than anything in the history of TLT 2 had ever been.

[NameIess]

And so Kurucu drew on the power of all the tears left in the universe, launching himself towards that dark beast.

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

He was diverted by the beast's powers.

[NameIess]

But he persisted, launching himself again and again until he finally pierced the confines of his universe and came face-to-face with Zyria the dark dragon.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

As Zyria shifted into view, Kurucu drew his sword.

[NameIess]

He thrust it towards the dragon's heart, striving to kill the beast in one blow.

Alas, the beast's armor proved too strong. Kurucu's blade snapped in two.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

But then a bird lodged itself somehow in the dragon’s throat and squeaked desperately.

[NameIess]

It only distracted Zyria for a moment before he dissolved the bird to ash, but a moment was all Kurucu needed to lunge, grabbing the dragon's scales with his bare hands and begin ripping them off.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Kurucu spent a lot of time deadlifting at the gym.
