And so, for the next two years, Tom and his servants performed experiments, gathered ingredients, and crafted compounds. Two years later. Tom held up a small vial in triumph. It was a bright cyan color, and stoppered with a metallic cork. "It is done," he spoke into the air. Ember nodded to AJ. The blonde man took a deep breath, holding his hand out for the serum.

"Take care of Thought for me," he said. With a shaky breath, he drank the entire thing. Ember entered his mind to help guide him. The violet goddess watched from her perch. Things were going well. Nothing could stand in her way. No. Nothing could stand in Star's way. Edited June 4, 2019 by Shard of Thought

A swarm proceeded to attack him. ”Ooh!!” But said. “Another vial!!” The Cukoos cawed metallically as they attacked, their copper bodies glinting in the artificial lighting.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Under Ember’s direction, AJ opened the portal. It wasn’t opened to a place, exactly, but it wasn’t opened to a specific time either. It was just… space. The Void. No one knew the Void’s true power. Not Jay, not Ember, not the purple goddess, and no one could know it fully anyway. The portal was simply a hole. A hole in the timeline of the thread. Something had been removed here, just pages ago - an action that had rippled through the entire thread. Because of its grandiose scale, there were still inconsistencies about. Any one of them could have been used - Xino’s memories, Ember’s existence - but Ember choose one specifically. Keeping hold of AJ’s mind, Ember reached out for the mental signature of @BringerofShadows. She called upon the girl’s memories. The day when the violet goddess had made her cry at the sight of a single corpse, just after she had murdered hundreds. Harnessing the emotion of that single inconsistency, Ember entered the timeline. Her work was swift; in a few keystrokes, a few thoughts, things had been reset, exactly as her master had commanded. As things began to click, she ripped a soul free of confinement before things began to burst open. Go to him, Ember whispered to her. The soul’s mind raced toward the source of power, enveloping him. Even as AJ faded, his emotion at seeing her one last time sent shivers down Ember’s spine. She herself wouldn’t last long either and she hadn’t experienced much emotion in the time leading up to this moment, but now she understood why AJ’s sacrifice - and her own - were so important. A burst of light flooded through the thread. Every character and Narrator were blinded for a split second and then… peace. One by one, characters appeared on the ship. Thought, still teary eyed from AJ’s death (AJ himself was nowhere to be seen, his body erased from the current timeline) Zeoy, looking awfully confused, Bozo and Havel who quickly bounded away to opposite sides of the deck once they noticed each other, Max, standing next to his mother and father, @Butt Ad Venture, his knowledge about the Narrator's existence still intact, and Pheonix, a little pale, but alive and well. Even Lift had been reborn. Star, however, was nowhere to be seen. In the center of all the newly returned characters stood Ember. The fiery glow between the cracks in her charred skin had been extinguished and she was still as stone, her head hung. Suddenly, as if some sort of thick liquid was being poured down her shoulders, her outer layer began peeling away, revealing human skin beneath it. The figure underneath was wearing a white shift and her once pale skin was now covered in sickly third-degree burns from her neck to her toes. Ember looked up again. There was no light in her eyes at all. She looked… dead. Then, she raised a hand to her face and gripped what was left of her outer layer. She pulled the mask-like shell off to reveal the burned face of Narrator Star. She looked pained and tired. Her eyes met those of one of the character that had been resurrected. “Pheonix…” she whispered. Then she fainted. Edited June 4, 2019 by Shard of Thought 2

Yes, someone got my reference! ”NOT EVEN THE MASTER SWORD AND HYLIAN SHIELD CAN REPELL SUCH A VENGEFUL ONSLAUGHT!” cried Truthless, regretting trying to collect that one last egg. 1
BringerofShadows she/her Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 BoS stared at Star. She was curled up into a ball in the shadows. Shadows didn’t know what to do. Treating wounds wasn’t her thing, inflicting them on the other hand… No. I will not think of those things. She sang. That is what came naturally.

BringerofShadows she/her Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 “Maybe. Or I just want my version of a happy ending.”

Jaywalk he/him Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 “There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Jaywalk transmitted from the void. “You have a right to a happy ending, much more so than I.” 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Just now, BringerofShadows said: “Ashamed of it…” The goddess expanded into Shadow's mind. She wouldn't pry at things that were hidden, but she would let a warm feeling wash through her.
