And, storm it, I can never stop myself from fighting. Narrator Pheonix shook his head. Don't believe that, he said loyally. If you have problems, fix them. I know you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Star closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't believe him. It felt good anyway. They'll never forgive me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipexe Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Quietly in the shadows, a figured watched. Small, not much to reckoned with, someone just enjoying the fight. They moved quickly, just a shadow on the wind, darting this way and that. They came to rest next to the shattered light, the broken one, shard of light. That was what their people called her. It pushed itself, hard, forcing even a small portion of itself into the light, and a tiny voice croaked out, “You may be broken, hated and abandoned. But so is everyone. How you act afterward is what defines how strong you really are.” With those final words, they shredded into nothingness, the light of reality far to strong for them.

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Star knew in her heart that she was evil. There was a spark of hope that someone could fix that for her. But it was dying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Narrator Pheonix shook his head. "You've dwelt on that for long enough, Star." There was pain in his voice. "Can't you move on? Let go?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipexe Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Another figure leaked out from the shadows, from the blackness of these very bolded words, and then another and another, the darkness slowly bleeding from the words themselves they fight hard, their souls slowly burning from the shadows, in the calm before the storm, they whisper, We need you, no matter who you are. You protect us, give us strength. Without narrators like you, we are but words on page, no life given. You gave us that, and don’t let your self forget it. Then they gather into one large mass, writhing chaos, unreadable, unknowable, until three simple words form: WE FORGIVE YOU Then they fade back to the black from whence they came. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the warmth she felt now could almost make her believe it was okay. "Thank you so much," she said.

Truthless of Shinovar Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Truthless read through the thread, and began to celebrate. Star had (probably) began her path to former glory, to become a narrator everyone knew and loved, the beloved director that kept things running in the land of The Longest Thread, and not the tyrannical leader that she had evolved into. Holy cow! That was really cool! Great writing, I'm glad that some measure of order has been restored to TLT, if there was ever such a thing to begin with.
