*The terrors had need of their Knight. but, not for any particular session this time... this was something that questionably could be of much greater importance. They call for him. he should come*

-The knight does come, appearing and kneeling at their master's "feet" or the rough equivalent for horror terrors-

"What's the assignment"
A place has begun to grow in a corner of the Furthest Ring. A place that uses the Void for Fuel, before recycling itself and returning to it.
A Powerful being lives there, and it is because of them that this growth continues to exist. It is unlike traditional spacetime. it uses 3 static dimensions of Void, and 2 Dynamic of Light. Unlike here, where all aspects are in an equal null, and most common spacetime, which is 3 static Space, and 1 dynamic Time... Such a foreign location could cause harm to the wrong place at the wrong time. To pass into it, and have your internal Lights and Voids made as if reality, while your time and space fold away as if something you think to yourself...

You must go there, and convince them to NOT 'recycle' their world for some time... it must grow just enough, that it taxes them and they grow ill... it will become more stable, and remain in a place where we can properly control the area surrounding it.

We will need to Convert your Body so that you remain stable while within. You may find that your powers resemble those of a Space Player in there.

And another warning... they have 2 dynamic dimensions. you must adjust yourself to dealing with two different Lights at the same time. keep your Lights together. whatever it is you see is simply two different ways of saying the same thing. neither is true. they are both partial truths. you must act so that both Lights have the same actions.

*a bit like the perception filters the terrors have. the story of the 'squiddles' may be, odd. but it perfectly resembles the machinations of the Terrors on a fundamental level* *if you have any questions, now is the time to ask*
-You understood less of that than you would like to admit, but you felt pressing the matte further might give you know further clarity. You'd just have to figure it out as you went. You were a being of action after all, typically calculated action, but action-
"Let us begin"
good. Remember, convince them to Keep their world around longer. only then, can we isolate it.

*your entire being is converted by the Terrors, altering your form so that your Physical Space-time body can exist almost exactly the same in a Void-Light environment*
*you are sent off, and-~!~
*a young child sits on the ground, Reading a comic book* *the Room is quiet, and mostly empty* *the door behind you is closed*
*an indisputable Force of Nature, has created an entity of incredible power to represent its presence as a part of reality. The Bright, Holy glowing figure is looking down upon a World it has Created* *a town, of some sort, sitting by itself on a seemingly ordinary land* *people of some kind are bustling around, going about their business*
-You wordlessly walk up behind the child, to peer at the comic book over there shoulder-


-You look around to see where in this world you might be, if you were in the town or merely observing it from afar like the mentioned force-
*the young boy looks at you, seeming to be surprised to see someone else in His Room. the comic looks to be about a lone town in a plain land. the townsfolk are a religious bunch, and the church is divided. Some say that God is eternal, and will let their town survive the whiteness, while others claim that the end is at hand. that A dark angel will arrive, and that God will-*

*the kid closes the comic, setting it aside*

"hello?"
*the entity observes you. you are a very clear alien presence in its own little pocket of Reality*

*the land you had just barely started to look down upon from above starts to break apart at the most fundamental level, as the 'space' begins to return to a base, null&void state. Its nothing but a perfectly empty white 'Void' now* *the end of their Story, it would seem*

*you have the attention of the Being now*
-You take a seat next to the child-

"I take it you must have questions. So how about this...we play a game. You ask a question, then I ask one and we go back and forth like that"


-You kneel slightly in the presence of the entity-

"I have been sent from afar with many questions, as I am sure you must have as well"
"Um. Do you like comics Mister?"

*are you C.O.D.A.? no. just close to being so. good.*
"I've only ever looked at one on rare occasions, however I did have a friend that would write them on occasion. What is your comic about?"


"You'll have to explain that one too me, it's a term I'm unfamiliar with"
"Its... its about a world. but it can be about different things."
*... I will need to Lie to you. but perhaps this lie can help you understand in your own way*

*Law. The End.*
*The Doom Aspect.*
*Hey Kids! let's see what's going on in this episode of Squiddle friends!*
*oh NO! it looks like chumbly the helpful squiddle got their tentacle stuck in the Dam to try and help stop all the water from pouring out! Brine Shrimp Dax went to get help, but can Chumbly hold out any longer?

*The terrors are not pleased with your lack of progress. they wonder if you remember your objective*
-Daxtons admin in all the confusion of all the posts had forgotten that daxton was up in this one. However after that hillarious intermision with the brine shrimp, he mentally waps daxton over the head to get him moving again-


"Oh, tell me about it. But perhaps we can start with a world already in motion. After all, the best stories are told with context. Do you have any such worlds in there you can show me for awhile?"


"Funny....I had a friend that was familiar with the doom aspect, he would draw comics on occasion...kentlr. Not sure why I'm remembering the comic thing now but it seems important"
*the child looks around, before moving the comic book to a new spot on the floor & opening it up*
"this one has a lot of motion in it."
*a story about a Heroic man named, The Boxer, & his arch-enemy Ballman. Ballman has perfected a Cloning machine to make duplicates of himself, and is trying to take over the city!*
"wait, not this comic. its kinda silly..."
*closing the comic, the child moves it to a different spot, before opening it again*
*a vast Country, suffering under the Tyranny of 'The Toad King'...*
*... You must be crossing Lights in your Mind. That would be a reason for you to recall comics recently.*

*The Void is beginning to restructure, a town coming into being. A lone man with boxing gloves stands ready to use excessive force in the pursuit of justice*

*Hmm... Someone who can see the Light, past what should be Unknown... That, is actually an idea worth testing. Let's do that instead.*

*A massive City with an imposing fortress of a Castle rapidly comes into being. Banners in red hang prominently all over* *The life of the citizens looks to be quite poor, as corrupt guards take advantage of the power and wealth that The King permits them to have, so that he can have their Loyalty & total control of his nation...*
"Is the toad king searching for the Skyripper or the Ibilis Stone?" -You reply, not quite sure where the names your speaking are coming from, but the toad king having faintly reminded you of something...something about stories, and paths....-


-You watch the scene unfold quietly, mulling over what the figure had said about crossing lights, and seeing past them- "And how do you propose we do that?"
*a man with a blank mask enters the room, the door creaking open* "The Toad king is looking for control. nothing more. He's a pretty minor Character on paper. He's only alive so that our hero will have an evil to vanquish."

*Hugo looks at them* "who are you?"
*By asking for help. Calendula knows a few tricks about individual design... I'm better with Worlds that populate themselves
naturally... Calendula will send someone over specially designed for this*

*down at the front gate, a Hero emerges. ... alas, they have incredibly poor

can this hero really stand up to the Toad King?*
"hmmm well that doesn't sound like it'd make too entertaining an adventure. What if perhaps we made the villain a little stronger, to give the hero greater adversity to fight against?"


"sounds a bit dull don't you think. A hero so meek would get squashed way to quickly to provide any sort of entertainment or lesson. What if we made the hero a bit stronger in the face of such a tyrant?"
*the Masked man continues* "Well, the Toad King also has access to powerful magic. He's already cast a Curse designed to cripple & deface anyone who would ever rise up against him. in his kingdom, anyone born of found to have such a face is executed."

*Hugo thinks that this comic is kind of interesting*

-Daxton turns to regard hugo- "and what of this one?"


"I think I'm beginning to see" -your reply, merely taking awhile to observe. Trying to figure out the best way to use the tools laid out before you to assert your true masters will-
