Even as she leapt for Malevolence, the Mantle came upon him. Power. Power flooded Malevolence, driving away the influence of Redemption, restoring his natural evil impulses. Power such as he had never dreamed. The power of the Void, of pain and death. Darkness. Darkness enveloped Malevolence, expanded to cover the entire mountain. The darkness brought terror to the living and empowered all creatures of the void. It was the darkness of a smothered star, a killer’s heart, an open grave. Evil. Evil filled Malevolence, transformed him, unmade him. Malevolence looked upward and saw nothing but the darkness about him. He closed his eyes and was content. Thus was Malevolence ended. Thus was the Witherlord reborn. The Witherlord opened his eyes. Darkness surrounded him, and he was pleased. But darkness could not hide the stench of reality. And so, he withdrew it. The cloud of darkness covering the whole of the mountain imploded. It rushed inward, revealing the Witherlord’s form. The Witherlord’s irises glowed a sinister violet, the only of Malevolence’s features distinguishable among the shifting shadows that covered the Witherlord’s form. Dark flames flickered along his arms and shoulders, and atop his head he wore Antagonist. In his right hand he held a dark Blade, fully six feet long. The glowing halo manifested itself again, a mere glimmer before the darkness of the Witherlord. He ripped it from his head in disdain, holding the glowing Plotblade of Redemption before him. Shadows pooled, and the halo shattered. “So shall all Plotblades be.” The Witherlord said. “They shall perish with this Thread.” He held his Blade before him. “I name this Blade ‘Malevolence’. For it shall bear his legacy.” The Witherlord raised Malevolence high, then swung the Blade down. Darkness By the Dreamsmith My own creation! The Blade forged by My hand tore the mountain, Cut the world, released the Void. What price for my weakness? Friends lost, stories cut Short. What price for my hope of Light? The Witherlord hovered in the Void. To either side of him were the two sides of the mountain, the world cut in two, laid bare before the ravages of the Void. All around him were withergeists, countless numbers of them. “Go forth. Consume this world and all life upon it. Let them know the fear of the Witherlord, as has been forgotten since times past.” Farewell Bacon. -- Subversion stood at the end of a road, watching the traveler's approach. Even at this distance, she felt the tremors of the Witherlord's return. She tried not to let that terrify her. Instead, she focused on the task at hand. The traveler had decided to end her journey, and Subversion would hear her out. Then Subversion would kill the traveler, and all her worries would be over. Have a good break! 23 minutes ago, NameIess said: Fog felt a voice vibrate through her soul. Fog. Come to me. We have business to conclude. @Through The Living Glass Fog sighed heavily to herself. She'd fled just before Malevolence's transformation. If you can even call it that, the Ennuller version of her said. She shrugged. In any case . . . things had gone poorly. Worse than poorly. She'd let the Withergeist have control for far too long, and- It's okay. We- we did our best with what information we had. She could feel the other Fog's regret, however. Regret that she hadn't done more; hadn't acted sooner. . . . Let's just go, Narrator Fog sighed. Agreed. Though . . . maybe . . . - Fog appeared before the Witherlord in her Withergeist form and bowed deeply. "My lord," she said with a grin, rising. 14 hours ago, NameIess said: Technically Malevolence is not dead. His soul is still there, as is his body, they’re just transformed by the Witherlord’s power. Other hosts have still existed, one has even survived being the Witherlord. Malevolence was a bit of a drama queen when it comes to evil and would say that he’s an entirely different person, but whether that’s entirely true is kinda up to interpretation. mm :3 good to know On 2/15/2026 at 8:00 PM, edgyswordname said: Eden can’t look away from Bacon. Even as he disappears, leaving one last goofy smile. The starhawk yanks her away, and she can’t see him. Or the place where he had been. Sorrow, Death Omen says. Yes. I bring sorrow. It is to be expected around one such as me. Eden materialized in the middle of the woods. It is night, it is raining, but there is a light in the distance, at the base of a mountain. “It wasn’t you. You didn’t fail. I did.” The sword is silent. No one can hear her scream in anger, clutching the withered claw that is her hand to her chest and struggling towards the light. —— 9/10mmHB#2 is a coward. But now is not the time to dwell on such things. He appears next to Inkwell, who is staring transfixed at a swirling vortex of Withergeists. “Ink, buddy, you’ve got to move,” 9/10 says. “No! I can still stop it! I have the Determination! I ca-“ “You can’t stop it, Inkwell. You’ve failed. Now come on, you’ve got to get out of here.” Inkwell lingers for a moment, then silently allows himself to be guided through a Rift. —— Night stares down in agony. The planet below is slowly being consumed by darkness, and she has expended far too much energy with the starhawks. She feels powerless. A Narrator shouldn’t feel powerless. Her author- it was her authors fault. Placing limits on her. But no. She couldn’t blame the author. An astral tear fell from her face to the planet’s surface, then was swallowed by the dark storm. I’m going to be offline for a while after this, need to take a break from my phone for a few weeks. Awesome writing, everybody, I’m honored I get to take part in this along with so many talented writers. Yall have a great couple of weeks! A couple weeks? Sad! We'll miss you!! Have a good break!! Do all the productive things!! Edited February 17 by Through The Living Glass Typo 1

Likely, you think I have summoned you planning to kill you for resisting Malevolence.”

NameIess Posted February 17 Posted February 17 16 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She smiled. "I figured. Whaddaya want?" The Witherlord reached up to Antagonist, his crown of darkness. With his hand, he broke off one of the crown’s points. ”I am looking for a right hand. A Dragon, to do my bidding, to spread destruction and chaos… to share my power.” He held forth his hand, fragment of Antagonist hovering above it, flickering with black flames. “Prove yourself worthy, and I will bestow this gift upon you.” 1

Isabel pauses, then sticks her finger through the tear, just her pinky because it wasn’t important, when her pinky stayed attached she then stuck her foot in and when the stayed attached Isabel took the bird off her head and held it against herself so that she could make sure it stayed safe and then jumped through the tear sorry this took me so long

Worried and scared.

"You're here to kill me, on the Witherlord's orders." She sighed. "It would be easy for you now, I think, using a Mordite blade and a bit of deception." She brought her hand up, and grasped a forming flower, which sprung open in her hand. "It doesn't need to be like this, Fog." She said softly, "The beauty of the world is that you get to choose."

Something from a long time ago. ". . . That's the thing, Ribbon," she said with a giggle. "I get to choose. If I have to be good, that's not much of a choice, now is it?" Ribbon . . . the other Fog warned.

Ribbon spun the flower stem between her forefinger and thumb, twirling it around and back again. "Yes, it's your choice." Ribbon finally said. "But I think you know that you won't kill me here, Fog." She started to pace around Fog, speaking as she walked. "I've had a lot of time to look through Rirrom's notes. For such a depressing guy, he sure did have a lot of research about what he could do. What I could do." She stared directly into Fog's eyes (or the equivalent of it). "I can do many things for you, Fog, but one of the few things I cannot do is die for you." 1

"Mm," she sighed. "I wouldn't be so sure." She rushed a Ribbon, Mordite blade still drawn.

"Would never be that easy, would it?" Water started to form around her, hugging her skin to form a protective barrier. Water that resisted all but her touch, her movements, that would protect her. Next came the flowers. Thousands of flowers similar to the one that Ribbon put in Fog's hair blossomed around her, forming a beautiful field. She brought forward her hand and the Mordite blade that Fog had given her fell into her hand. It was much more ornate than it was when she first received it, being now carefully lined with silver patterns and now having proper shape, carved out of the initial spike. Ribbon ran her hand along it, coating it with an aqueous fluid. "I don't want to fight you again, Fog." She sighed. "I understand you must fight me. But that doesn't mean I have to fight back." She didn't make any moves.

Pieces of Mordite began to surround the bubble of water and close in around it.
