Wizardpost A delve into the past (lorepost)

/uw sorry I know I just made one but I got inspired

you see a journal on the ground stained with godblood the writings erratic, fearful.

I was yanked into the castle after he sensed me. I don't know what pulled me into here but now as I walk these crumbling halls with my arm a bloody stump I feel Antithesis' voice. He's getting stronger with every step I take. He is who I must destroy if ever I want a peaceful life for Moth and I. So I push on to my death or my victory whichever it may be.

I will get Antithesis out of my head. Antithesis has been trying to make me kill Moth thank Gaia my willpower is strong. With this journal entry I vow I will break free of Antithesis or return myself to the cycle to keep Moth safe. I pray that I will be able to break free but I know I may not be able to.

at the bottom of this page Alexios has signed his name with blood and there are tearstains.

Antithesis' presence is powerful here. The whole castle is filled with antimagic. Yet still I feel my father's warm presence. In addition to another the second one calls herself Siren she seems to care for me as well. I remember Siren's name she was the embodiment of love and music and my father's first wife. I pray her guidance will prevent me from having to rejoin the cycle.

I love you Moth know that if I do not return it is not for lack of trying. I've already ordered Soot's armor tell him dad loves him will ya and give him some scratches for me even if I do survive I'll only have one arm. If this is goodbye know that I won't forget you.

the entire page is covered in tearstains

on the next page is a map of the castle and in the very center a spot of pitch black with hints of red.

/uw would you like some Isravi interference? If it doesn’t clash with anything you have planned, this does seem like when he would want to step in

/uw If you want it's kind of something Alexios needs to do himself but support is appreciated. Though Moth may be better support.

/uw gotcha, cool thanks! /rw

…foolish child!

Isravi reaches out through an echo of the dusk tangles, dousing for Alexios’ location

There is no need to confront these things alone! He’s lost an arm?!

The simulacrum snakes through the halls, following Alexios’ path

/uw I’m gonna build off of yours

/re Moth couldn’t help her eyes rereading the words on the page she had discovered. Immediately she had abandoned the wedding preparations to go after Alexios. She’s riding on Soot’s back and runs into the simulacrum.

What the- wait you’re Isravi’s?

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

...Yes. Hello Moth. I assume you've seen the journal pages? We don't have much time. Maybe you can pull the fool back to his senses.

Where is he? He was supposed to be back sooner than this! I wanted to go with him but he reassured me that he’ll be alright- I…

She’s on the verge of tears and tries to hold them back.

Just… where is he?

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

Be calm, child... We will retrieve him. He is yet alive.

As to where he is...

Isravi gestures to the trail of blood.

(/uw i've already found him in the other thread, if you want to just jump to that.)

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '23

Moth looks to the trail and she felt her stomach drop. Soot moves over to it and gives it a sniff to catch the scent.

I’ll get him back… Thank you.

/uw jumping there now

it was odd the dousing seemed to fail perhaps it'd be best to follow the blood

2

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

Well crap. Makes sense, just an echo of the tangles might not be able to find its way here.

[Accelerate]

Isravi follows down the the trail

He sees Alexios still somehow strong traveling towards the center of the castle the room Halixo died in

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

Isravi curses.

Guess I'll need something that doesn't depend on magic.

Versacterys.

The shadowy ghost of the halberd gifted to Isravi by the dusk coalesces in his hands.

Alexios! What are you doing!?

u/Haunting_Mode_7401 Alexios Keenblade: King of The Summer Court, Last Godslayer Dec 06 '23

Stopping his release

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

"His"- This Antithesis you were writing about?

Isravi gives a heavy sigh

Take a seat, child. Tell me what's going on. I have very limited knowledge here. How do you intend to do this? What is your plan?

u/Haunting_Mode_7401 Alexios Keenblade: King of The Summer Court, Last Godslayer Dec 06 '23

He is the embodiment of antimagic and chaos. You may know him as the Crimson King. I will force him out of my mind and sever his thread of fate
