She snickered. 

You really believe in Authors? That’s cute. 

Tam was majorly confused.

"Uh- I don't believe in them, I know they exist . . ."

Unfortunately . . .

"Do you not?"

I’ve concluded that the collective phenomenon known as “Authors” can be attributed to a single god. The god of your universe. Perhaps I should find some way to contact him.

"You really don't think Authors exist, huh? Okay then. Who's the god of my universe?"

Hah! You’re almost endearing, thinking you can order me about. But it’s still annoying, and at the end of the day, you’re still just a bug. Remember that.

Wonder somewhere else. I’ve no more time for you.

The spirits clamored. 

Oh, all right. If you want to take down Corruption, you’ll need to rein her in somehow. Killing her likely won’t work, as she could fester inside her hosts. She needs to regress.

"Hosts? You mean the people she's corrupted? Where even is she right now, and how would we make her regress?"

Where is she? Hah, everywhere. Thankfully none of you are corrupted, or I might kill you to save trouble. 

If I had to find her, though, I’d visit Entoturis. It reeks of her. 

As for regression… I’m sure there’s one of those little Plotblades your god likes so much that could accomplish something to that effect. I do have to admire sticking to a theme, though. It’s rather elegant.

Wait, that was . . . actually helpful.

Entoturis, eh?

All right, if you’re going to be difficult. I’ll kill all of your companions unless you choose one to save. 

No mortal has ever left my realm alive, or tarried this long. Be grateful I don’t kill all of you. 

She’s just curious 

She’s too intrigued to actually kill them

and she’s a lil worried abt corruption

Tam's heart was pounding in her chest.

"NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE!"

She grabbed the others and teleported them out of there as fast as she could.

Alright goodniiiiiight

The void absorbed her Narration. 

You forfeited your right to leave when you entered my domain. But fine, if you love them all that much. I’ll let you leave when you tell me which one you’d have saved.

She whimpered.

It was . . . an obvious decision . . . though a hard one to make, still . . .

"Shoe," she whispered. "My brother . . ."

I love bugs. 

And with that they were unceremoniously dumped back on the beach. The spirits were gone.
