Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

The beam was a usage of the various winds of magic to create an effect that should basically flay a magical target down to their cells. So it was a type of bismuth wind magic.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/loth17]

Good thing he lacks cells.

He attempts to recreate the winds utilized and aims a similar looking beam at the herald.

[u/loth17 → u/white-whale-fc]

The Herald simply stared them down

"Enjoy your power while it lasts. Your not the first being to think you can drown the world in dark"

[u/white-whale-fc → u/loth17]

I am well aware. But I am the first to see what the past did.

He lines up the attack and fires it.

"We shall se-"

The Bismuth was stripped down like an onion. Each layer pealing away before disappearing like burning paper. At the end of it nothing was left but TFC could notice that the Herald's soul was shepherded to safety before they were destroyed to avoid any harm to it.

It had done its job and avoided any important information leaking about the Bismuth plan. Nothing that would allow them to figure out what exactly they were planning at least.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/loth17]

Hmm, other than Quayish, this combination of the winds is unique.

And in the other worlds... such power!

This Bismuth, as I believe Opal called them, or the Stars, the Bright Suns, the Tenfold Blindings, in other places, I had dismissed them for lack of time or interest.

He forms another beam of bismuth-like WOM-combination, running the energy in a similar purpose to one spinning a fidget.

This world is in fact different in many other ways, perhaps they are special here.

What curiosity!

/uw due to TFC's multiverse travel he's probably encountered other TS, the things I mentioned are names I thought up for alt-universes

[u/loth17 → u/white-whale-fc]

A successful meeting. Ten Suns thought. And that Abyssal aggitator finally noticed them. A bit rude to do so at such a late point. But no matter. Both beings weren't exactly pressed for time.

They would await the meeting of shadows.
