❝I am procreating.❞

a gesture to the scale.

❝I have been tasked with harnessing a foreign form of the Power Absolute by Harei Shao.

This spawn will be that, incarnate.❞

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

“Then.. what are you doing? What are your orders?”

He would ask, slightly dumbfounded , fists loosening but he remained guarded..

“Other than an ‘experiment’ “

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝You are assuming I am about to unleash cosmic devastation upon you.

I am not.❞

they looked up at the other, arms remaining at their sides.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

There’s no way for him to stop magik, but god damn it, he was going to fight if given the opportunity.

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

The scale is taken, burgundy, transparent bubble of sorts forming around it, as it dissipates — transported elsewhere.

❝As i have told you long ago, all former traces of myself, including the sympanomicon, have been erased.

However, i have new orders.❞

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

Moment before the wound closes, slowly, almost trembling, he would drop the scale into the others hand.

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝An experiment.❞

their hand remained out.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

The king would pause, giving his ‘friend’ a once over, he stunk of the conquerer, Gux would falter for a moment, uncharacteristically he wouldn’t do as asked..

“Any reason why?”

He would ask, attempting to stare into Magiks eyes, though they gave no response

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

harei shao’s presence continued to linger within the concept as much as it usually would. beneath their armor is a red mist, leaving all to guess whether or not there is even artificial flesh beneath it still.

❝Give me a scale.❞

holding a hand out expectantly.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

The zaterran would pause cautiously, disregarding whatever he was doing, his gaze softening upon the concept.

“Magik.”

He would speak, though there was an undertone of.. uncertainty? Distrust? It seems that more recently than not, the concept has been a bearer of bad news

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

red hue burns deeply, as golden aura is swallowed by such a crimson, while the concept is instantaneously displaced to new zaterra.

specifically, next to @GLUTTONSMS.

❝Gux.❞

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

un-dramatically reappears after a deep absence.

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

— to answer; she knows he would have if he could.

❝Gux is going to donate towards me a piece of his flesh.

And you will fulfill the duty i am about to assign you, as well.❞

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝Magik, throughout all the realms, the spaces in between, and the planes that exist higher.

But yes, the vessels, all of them up until now. Their memories, all physical and metaphysical evidence that they existed.❞

The question pertaining to Shao is ignored. He’s unable —

ㅤㅤ"And by this existence. . . you mean to say this vessel and every memory you've carried with it, don't you ?

ㅤㅤNot just this incarnation's memories, but of the last one as well. The Magik that Gux and I first met. . ."
ㅤ

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

— act accordingly for that to happen.❞

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝There was never an era before this one, in which I was without all parts of my vessel; the Between - Ins, and the Sympanomicon being those parts.

I lack both now. They are dead.

My vessel is now incomplete, as is the stability of magik as this omniverse knows it.❞

[𝓦𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, 𝘒. 𝘊𝘳𝘶𝘻 .ᐟ @BloomInMemory]

ㅤㅤNow, you big ant in lumbering armor. Why are you lost, exactly ? Aren't you omniscient and everything ?"

ㅤㅤThough she knew of Harei Shao's acquisition, she knew not of how far his influence dug deep into Magik's being.
ㅤ

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

— incapable of having desire, and wants.

However, it is my birthright and duty to exist, and continue to be this omniverse’s tool and foundation.

So the self I speak of will act accordingly, and ensure I am not permanently gone.

And yourself and King Gux of New Zaterra will —

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝No.❞

The being stares forward.

❝Sentient, I still lack a mind. Thinking is one of only few things I am incapable of.

I am lost.❞

[𝓦𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, 𝘒. 𝘊𝘳𝘶𝘻 .ᐟ @BloomInMemory]

ㅤ
ㅤㅤ【 ❁ 】 ː . . . ? His outfit looks— different. Too different.

ㅤㅤ"Mister Magik. . . that expression doesn't suit you at all. Something's on your mind, isn't there ?"
ㅤ

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

Staring at the floor, almost as if the entity had been —- pensive.

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝Correct.❞

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

A clawed hand would be raised to his own forehead, it was a lot to take in.. he was stressed; a sigh would escape his mouth.

“ ‘unable to provide a name’.. does that mean it isn’t shao?”

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

fucking typo

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝Yes.❞

They’d nod.

❝I am unable to provide a name. My orders I received from before the war are still beingfollowed.❞

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

“Are you still being targeted? Surely shao isn’t / that / stupid.”

The king would ask, his head once again shifting to face magik.

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

—

❝I am unable to give a clear answer. I cannot see into a future where there I do not exist.

But my assumption; omniversal death.❞

[┄ ℳ𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑘 . @APElRONS]

❝The line that separates this vessel, and myself, had blurred to the point where there is little difference.

Yes.
Harei Shao has destroyed the sympanomicon, and by association, the Between - Ins.❞

There’s a pause, and the being shifts their weight to the opposite side.

—

[𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝕶𝐈𝐍𝐆 👑 @GLUTTONSMS]

The zaterran would ask, remaining still as he begins to ask another question

“I am guessing this was also the work of shao?”
