With his new ability to count to 27 Butt created 27 thermonukes, 27 Ghanderflaflles, and shattered Adonalsium into 27 shards.

Jaywalk stood over his crumbled throne, cold stone under his feet. He was no longer a ruler of the void; it had become too difficult to control. Bozo stood by his side, eating a carrot.

"Havel's gone," the rabbit said. "Now we can breathe."

"No, Bozo," Jaywalk said. "We're going to find her. Something strange is going on here."

One of those shards was, of course, the Shard of Ghanderflaffle. Narrator Ghanderflaffle claimed that she was best for the Shard.

*BoS returned to the void, and made herself a new throne* “Hey Jaywalk, you now have to call me Empress Shadow when you are in the void. I won’t make you bow, but don’t push it.” Her throne was a lovesac with black thorns poking through.

Star paled. "Oh my. Did I do something wrong, Silent One?"

Sort of- no more than the others. You, however, seem as though you want to give up your Narrator powers.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star growled to herself. When the Master of Silence was done with her, she would win back Jay's throne for him.

Star paled further. "I don't want to give them up. I just want to be accepted."

Speak, fool.

"You said I was a Shard. I'm a Narrator. Just a Narrator."

"Shard, Narrator, Butt, Ghanderflaffle, thermonuke, how much of does it really matter? You're here, and that's what counts. You post in the forums, you create intricate plotlines, you have risen and fallen with these very pages. But I ask you, for how much of that did you let yourself be confined by your shard? If you truly want to know the secret of this thread, here it is: Shards are nothing compared to Narrators. Shards may have near infinite power, but they are bound and constrained by their intent. Narrators, like every last one of us here, are human. We feel. We grieve, we feel joy, we change our minds, but most importantly of all, we make mistakes. You, perhaps, made the mistake of accepting a shard, and you let it dictate your actions. But remember, you are a Narrator. You are a brilliant mind capable of changing into something new, something better."

Star smiled faintly. "But that's not the problem. I appreciate your words, I really do, but they're not quite right for the moment. My Shard expands my mind, makes me think things I shouldn't. But I love it. I would be lost without it. The problem is as I said; I wish for acceptance. I can forgive the evil things that I have done in the past, but the fact is that I continue to spiral down that path. I can't help myself! At least now, it eats at me rather than the story itself. But I'm lost. I don't know what I'm doing anymore."

Narrator Master of Silence mused for a moment, then vanished.

A second later, a slightly panicked Narrator Pheonix appeared.

Star cocked her head at the newcomer. She folded her arms and shook her head. "You aren't very good at that bravery thing, are you?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Uh, no? said Pheonix, then winced. "But I heard you needed help."

"I suppose I do." She studied his face. The artistic side of her noticed the exquisiteness of his chalky-pale skin and how his odd flaming hair contrasted with it so perfectly. His eyes were slightly bird-like. She nodded. It made sense. Pale, fitting his outer timidness. But that burning strength above. Why couldn't humans be like that?

[BringerofShadows she/her]

“Just what we needed. Another romance.” BoS said in a sarcastic tone. She appeared in front of Phoenix and Star. “Is it considered cheating if you love someone but your other significant one is dead? Because Marsh would not be happy, am I right?”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Star gritted her teeth. "Marsh is gone and I've accepted that. He'd want me to move on."

[BringerofShadows she/her]

“Hmmm. I see. Maybe you will have better luck with a Narrtor, as they can’t be killed. Or can they? I think that sounds like a good idea. I understand I can torture them, but killing Narrators…”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"That's impossible. You cannot actually harm any of us, try as you might."

“Think what you want,” he replied simply. “We are equals in this. The void bows to neither of us.”

“Excellent point, because I can’t bow to myself. As I told you before, I’m not in the void, I am the Void.”

"You're making claims you don't even understand. And as for Luna, it's his own fault. He could have refused. And besides, what permanent harm did you cause him?"

[BringerofShadows she/her]

“Probably some emotional damage. I understand my claims. But the one thing I don’t understand is unconditional love, because I’ve never experienced it.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"I could make an argument, but you would call it sappy.

And anyway, maybe you should seek it."

“Nah. Having someone else to worry about and rely on is unnecessary. Power is the only one I love.” She summons a couch and lays back, and starts eating some popcorn. “I never did like romance, but this will be interesting. So please continue…”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Pheonix is the one who decided he loved me, not I. Honestly, I'm still not sure how I feel. We shall see how this turns out."

[BringerofShadows she/her]

“Okay then. Carry on.”

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk scoffed. Shadow didn’t know what she was playing with.
