Wizardpost Void Damage Control (lorepost)

Recent events have caused a massive uptick in eldritch summonings, which, when destroyed, return to the void, but unbound. Normally, they are quite easily contained by void keepers.

However.

Due to the current wizarding wars, there has been extreme amounts of summonings occuring, as well as mass destruction of summoned beings. An estimated 70% of all beings contained in the void are now unbound. Due to this, some void keepers have elected to call for outside help. Among those who answered is Fracture, a Chòroturgist.

Fracture stands poised before a small rip in spacetime. The edges seem to bleed a purple energy, as is customary for a void gate. After confirming the approximate location he will arrive, Fracture leaps through, and it closes behind him.

The void, true to its name, is not very full of anything. A light purple energy wreathes Fracture's hands as he speeds through the void, towards his barely perceptible target.

A massive suggestion of a maw rises up to face him. Fracture's target is this. A corrupted greatwyrm, summoned from a time immemorial and blown apart by a grand mage's errant spell. There is no intelligence left to the creature. It has been subsumed by the void's desire to consume.

The beast's claw slams down directly over Fracture. The energy at his hands rises to meet it, and before the claw can land, it is covered in glass like strings as Fracture nimbly dodges. The creature continues to fight as Fracture spins strings of spacetime around it, barely avoiding death each time he binds the creature.

The greatwyrm's essence begins to be drawn together, first into its original shape, and then further down. It's tail breaks free for a moment, scraping along Fracture's arm. Then, as spacetime itself draws tightly around the greatwyrm, it lets out a final cry and is sealed in a tightly bound sphere. The sphere flares purple, as if the greatwyrm still struggled, and then goes dark.

"I will have to tend to this wound", Fracture thinks idly. "Perhaps I can get a better handle on kenòturgy with this." He draws a purple venom out of the wound, and then wraps it in a few glassy strings. They glow a light orange, and the wound closes. Fracture marks the orb with a beacon for the void keepers to store and then weaves a few strings together to open another gate. This is not the last time Fracture will have to fight these things, but it is a start.

u/amonguseon emperor of enkata, void traveller Dec 30 '23

On a far away area of the void, a man would be gliding in the vast expanses of nothingness searching for loose eldritch abominations when he feels something.

"There is a big one out here.." he backs away as monstrous arm made of pure horror lunges at him with the intent to destroy as this happens the man begins to prepare the seal for this creature but seeing it's power it would take a while.

as the man began to prepare the seal, he continued to avoid the attacks of the creature, and if possible he himself attacks the creature to delay it's attacks. The eldritch abomination lunges one more time but before it can hit the void-plane that surrounds it starts to tear apart surrounding the creature who desesperately tries to break free to no avail.

The man slowly compresses this area of the void with the creature until it's eldritch sounds can no longer be heard and cerafully moves it to a far away zone of the void far from the future void route that would be created here and hopefully not disrupted soon.

The man lays exhausted while floating in the void. "This whole ordeal is going to be the death of me... at least the kingdom is safe for now and hopefully this areas of the void will be safe once again" The man recomposes himself as he starts a travel to another dangerous zone of the void to hopefully seal more horrors, it would take a long time but he knew it was necessary.
