"mostly the new one with atlas. I was given the order by author to supervise it. But while the plot isn't going I can go wherever. Though he technically ao long as o make sure it's going good I can be anywhere."

“Nice. That’s a long leash you’ve got.” She pulled a bottle of water from beneath her chair and took a swig.

Bea liked being a person again, staring up at the sun and pretending it didn’t hurt.

Okay!

Uh . . . Beosta? Shoe asked, sitting next to her in the sand. Why are you staring at the sun?

He put a hand in the air so that the shadow was in her eyes.

There was a sound like a full drum set falling down the stairs.

Bacon fell on his head.

The Scribe hesitates slightly as the embrace reminds him of times long past. A tear falls from his eye.

”Do… do you want to know my name, Atlas?”

A secret he had kept for as long as he had been The Scribe…

Night night. Hey when you see this tomorrow lemme know what the scribe looks like i wanna draw the hug. Experiments with new style and stuff. His height clothes and all that stuff

Cool…

uh…

So he’s pretty tall, at least 6 3

I usually describe him as mousy,  he has a lanky build, wears simple, bland clothing.

Ya?

Aelorin gestured to the door, quietly pulling it open.

 

Sain looked at KeCil. “We gonna quest or not?”

He ignores the bacon.

Gurwarp pulled out his blade, about three feet long, with the edge glinting in the torch light. "Let's go."

Oh, this might be worse. I’ll deal with it later, though. 

Ordered light beings are called Luxsprites and they’re all dead but one. You can talk to @Ookla the Arbiter about them, if you want. 

One plus Platypus. I think Xino is still alive, at least. @xinoehp512, is Xino still alive?

Good luck. Because the Narration that the Emperor was gifted with is of order and not chaos. His Narration has much more structure.

Atlas could be both an Ennuller and a Narrator too, so that explains why she was even able to slightly Ennull the blade.

Ennullers and Narrators are literally opposites. They are made of opposite energies. I don't think it would be possible to be both at once. My headcanon is that you would implode. 

Also, Narration is inherently Chaotic. It cannot be Ordered. It can be structured, but not Ordered. Platypus does something similar to Narration that uses Order instead of Chaos though. I've taken to calling it Creation.

It could be something like whatever harmony has going on. Ruin and preservation are opposites but he has both.

Desolation waits patiently. He understood the author's struggles.

Rebus (prime) snaps back to reality. “I’d forgotten how that felt, without the Narrative connection. We needed a bottom for the bottomless pit, correct?”

@Thee insane, apparently something called Balancium exists. @NameIess knows more about it than I do. I don’t think you’d have the two power sets, though. You’d likely get one hybrid set.

Ruin and Preservation not quite opposites, they can work together. In addition, they have a Vessel acting as an emulsifier. The Vessel is not made of Ruin and Preservation. Ennullers are made of Ordered Darkness, while Narrators are made of Chaotic Light. Combine those, and all you have is Void, or perhaps even nothing. It's like anti-matter and matter. they don't mix.

In the Great Desert, it rose from the sand.

I don't count Platypus as a Luxsprite. He would most likely be a different type of Ordered Light entity.

Balancium is a theoretical combination of the energies, but it's only very rarely (once) been achieved even in the metal form at a small scale. An attempt to combine the powers is actually what gave the Witherlord the opening to destroy the Luxsprites. So I don't think that a balanced character could exist. Narrators are powerful enough though, and there's nothing stopping them from making use of the other available fundamental essences (Nullite and Mordite), aside from the difficulty in procuring them.

A horde of rabbits sit atop a massive pile of books, scrolls, magazines, comics, paper, and even a roll or two of toilet paper. Wind? We have brought you paper.

Tam, who had wandered back over to the others at some point, shrieked and Narrated a thick, black metal cage around him.

A large spike grew from the walls of the cage and pressed itself against his throat.

"You have three seconds to tell me why I shouldn't kill you right here," she growled.

Sequence woke up, having fallen asleep for quite a while due to her injury and her author's holiday business.

How's everybody been?  Did I miss anything important?

Mixing energies in metal form = possible though super difficult and dangerous, only ever happened successfully (to my knowledge) once. Mixing energies in a living being = a hundred times more difficult and unstable.

"Um, because I've stopped working for Malan and he's got assassins tracking me? I came to ask for your help." Malevolence gulped. "Also I'm mostly unarmed. Got nothing to suppress your powers with, and no nuclear devices on my person."

Unintelligible blinked awake, standing from the chair he'd been sitting in beside her. "You're awake! Fell any better?"

Not too much. The trial started and revealed the most dangerous Plotblades to be Antagonist and Protagonist. A bunch of antagonists are doing stuff, the Priest officiated a wedding.

Marvelous . I actually did backread like a handful of random pages, and that wedding would be that of Beosta and Shoe, right? Lovely couple, those two!

Sequence groaned and sat up, rubbing her eyes a bit and blinking around. ".. I... A bit? A lot, I think." She looked down at her midsection, where the wound was healed on the surface, but a slight darkness seemed to lie beneath the surface, like a bruise. Sequence poked it gently and winced. "Better, but not completely. How long has it been?" Sequence looked out the window for a moment, then back to Unintelligible. "Have you been here the whole time?"
