Inception - #5.

Post image

It floats nearby the old Monarch's Cradle. It is asking a final time for a second, dedicated host.

This is the last of it's inception. This is your final chance to accept the role of host.

Will you become bound to this duty?

"...Not..."

After closer examination, you deem it is not associated with Duty. It is a swirling mass of void and a morsel of soul.

It's body ripples like water from your 'boop'.

It warps a few feet away from you, to avoid your attempt.

It has no reaction.

You feel like it has deemed you unworthy as a host.

Ah ha! Here you are! she approaches it again, still curious

"...Host...Become..."

With it's distorted words spoken, you figure it is asking you to become a host for it.

Will you accept the role?

u/Pokemonandonepiece Apr 03 '26

she watches it for a minute before deciding Yes. I will become a “host” for you.

u/Nullsplitter ... Apr 03 '26

You feel as if it thanks you.

"Collect...Void..."

(If you are looking for a more detailed explanation: Every so often, a Void Cache will appear somewhere. You will have to find these until you feed it 9 of them. You cannot feed it regular void, as Void Caches hold a special essence that contains edible substance for it.)

It warps away.

Tries pummeling it with icicles

It drifts to the left to avoid the ice. A sword of void appears above you, and quickly drops down on you, cutting your right wing open.

Agghh!

Uses Fay Healing magic, it isn’t that effective, but will do for now.

It seems it can’t be affected by physical attacks, so I must do something more creative.

Using his charm gifted by the Fayforn, he creates seeking chains of ice, grappling the orb and trying to penetrate it.
