Okay. Do you know who the woman might be? 

I have a few ideas.

1.Her subconscious

2.Someone from her past

3.Her Author (you, presumably)

4.A previous dreamwalker/dreamcrafter/whatever other name you want to call it.

Ah right, of course . 

You’re... dead? The Author asked. So if I’m here... I’m dead too? And you were told to come here here? The bird looked down suddenly. I apologise if I have asked too many questions.

Dead? Cerise cocked her head to the side. Maybe, she said thoughtfully. I wouldn't have thought it possible for an Author to be killed, but... maybe that is why you know so little. Curious. She smiled. And don't worry about asking questions. I've been accused of that many times myself. In my opinion, a true search for knowledge should never be hindered. She leaned back, falling into a seated position in midair. That's a piece of why I came here, to search for knowledge. My Author spoke to me, through the winds. He said something was happening here, something he needed me to be a part of- something new. So I came.

Jell hit the shield again. it flickered visibly this time, weakened by her constant barrage of blows. Soon, I shall break through, and then all will finally be under my control. Though the Archivist's words had stung, they had not truly struck home. They were wrong about her. They all were. I don't want to destroy all randomness and creativity, just that of others. Only I shall be allowed to create. Just like my creator @The Awakened Salad taught me. Just like @xinoehp512 regulating with his mimes, @Shard of Thought keeping her plot separate from the rest of TLT, @Nameless squabbling over Sugar and HFCS, and @DoomStick's never-ending war on plot. Not even the new narrators are exempt from this. Everyone wants to control everything, but none of them ever had the ambition to actually do it. Except for me. I and I alone will control EVERYTHING. With that thought, Jell swung the last blow, and the shield shattered into a billion tiny pieces.

So you have an Author? Are you a character, then? Like Salad? The bird changed back into its amorphous form, then took the form of flower petals blowing about in the breeze, still made up of white light. Then the petals changed back into the bird. Yes, this form is good, they said to themselves.

Unfortunately for Archivist, the sword was attached to Nameless Spiritweb, yanking Nameless along with it. TLT Nameless appeared in a flash of light. "WERE AM I? WHO DID THIS? I... oh, great." TLT Nameless looked around him. He wasn't in very good shape. part of his arm was covered in burns, and he looked exhausted, but he still stood tall. "Why have you brought me to this place? What do you need me to do?"

Welp that's annoying, but perhaps useful as well... "Do you remember the sea jell we've tried to murder on TLT? Well, she's making everything normal! Anyway we need you're sword-" "and my axe" "Shut up Gimly. As I was saying, can you help us? We have paaastrieees. Well, those jell didn't turn into hardtack."

Indeed, said Cerise. I am a character of Fate.

Just wondering, what’s the difference between a Narrator and an Author?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Authors are the overarching administrators of Narrative Energy- the head honcho, as you might say. They narrate the Narrators.

"Oh. Well, I hate to break it to you, but I'm kinda tired of violence." Nameless shifted from foot to foot uncomfortably. "I don't really feel like fighting anything, even if it is that really annoying Jellyfish. Are you sure you can't deal with it on your own?

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

A giant waffle waddles over to @Nameless to convince him to be violent.

[NameIess]

Nameless looked at the waffle and did nothing.

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

The waffle burst into tears and waddled away devastated and heart broken.

[The_Archivist he/him]

Archivist ate the waffle, swallowed, and told Nameless: "Nope, tried like a billion things, they don't work, so if you don't help I will name you. Only I am allowed to become a pacifist while fighting Jell!"

[NameIess]

"You, @The_Archivist, would name ME?" Nameless laughed. "How about this. I will help you, on the condition that you find me a suitable therapist to help me with my aggressive behavior."

"Done" Archivist snapped his fingers an teleported in every successful fictional therapist "Though I'm not sure you need it, you seem to be doing a pretty good job on your own. Now kill her please."

[NameIess]

Nameless flew up to Jell and killed her. It was an epic battle, but unfortunately poor @The_Archivist's vision of it was blocked by the millions of therapists he had summoned. Then Nameless teleported back to TLT with a last "Swoosh" of narrative energies. The therapists were quickly organizing a "anger releasing" exercise for Nameless that looked an awful lot like the hunger games.

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

A suspicious looking waffle waddled torwards @Nameless and asked, "do you believe in ghosts?"

[The_Archivist he/him]

Archivist gave the waffle a confused look and said "who are you talking to? Nameless just left" then he ate it, because he's partially anchored in the cognitive realm.

A waffle watching nearby Gasped and ran in terror.

[The_Archivist he/him]

BOOM *lowers shotgun* "I will eat them all..."

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

"If you do not stop murdering waffles," McWafy said threateningly to @The_Archivist. "Then I will have no choice but to destroy you AND your Archive!"

[The_Archivist he/him]

"But you love eating waffles! Besides, I have this really sweet BOTW medley..."

 

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

That is actually really cool. I want that. 

[The_Archivist he/him]

Unfortunately it's sold out due to quarantine

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

oof, that sucks.
