NameIess

This was all part of Foe's master plan. Makind the Narrators trap Nameless forever had been easier than he imagined.

This made Nameless angry, so he accidentally exploded the temporary vessel.

Nameless was fine with it, as he didn't have a body to feel all the horribly agonizing pain, but he figured the others must be having a terrible time, so he pretended to be tortured as well.

It was impossible to tell anymore. But it was (mostly) perfect.

Suddenly, there were no Narrators around. They all disappeared.

Everybody had been permanently scarred by reading the Rithmatist.

Then they turned into fire.

They exploded into nothing.

Eof stared into nothing, eyes glowing with an ethereal light. "No. But I know someone who might. Follow me." He turned, walking through a ripple in reality and vanishing.

Both Eof and Foe lost their family, that didn't cause the split. The split was caused when Eof met Esmerelda. One version of him (Eof) gave up his goal of total conquest of TLT for its own good, and the other (Foe) didn't, leading to the situation we have today. I guess we could just say that Eof was turning into a total mustache-twirling villain before he met Esmerelda. The pineapples died. Suddenly, quickly, and unstoppably. Nameless hated pineapples of all kinds, and wasn't afraid of blaspheming.

Wait, what family are you talking about?

But what would happen to make Eof into a villain like that?

"I-thank you." Eof stood up straight, eyes hardening with new purpose. "Yes, let's save my family. And kill that monstrous version of me." Guys I have no clue why Foe would kill his family help.

Eof looked slightly abashed. "I was trying to take total control of TLT in order to be able to prevent more destruction."

Nameless shrugged and did so.

Nameless considered giving the Narration in a not-reversed format.

This had the unfortunate effect of causing the entire swamp to transform into a sentient entity. Fortunately for our heroes, they were now far away, and had no clue as to the swamp's dastardly transformation.

Hm. Well, you should probably leave before the Hydra gets past whatever that sphere was and eats you.

Essentially, yes. Although how it would help him achieve his goals, I have no idea. I'm still fully capable of Narrating, and I haven't weakened at all. What was in that sphere?

Yes, looks like a mutated Hydra to me.
