January 29th, 2021. A lot was happening in the Milky Way, and more specifically, many seismic events were occurring on Earth. In less than an hour, Bahamut was deposed and killed. The demons had no idea one of their allies had been eradicated from existence. And why didn’t they? Because they were busy mounting an…
January 29th, 2021. Argent, Aevum. Daisy was training with a bo staff by herself, thwacking it against a lifelike combat training dummy. The dummy moved surprisingly agilely, animated by her father’s magic. It was neither dumb nor intelligent, merely fighting with the single-minded purpose of learning its opponent’s movements and attempting to counteract them. It…
January 29th, 2021. Sarabiya, Egypt. Not even thirty minutes after taking Phoebe inside to talk to her privately, Jason exited the Citadel, once again assuming his macho persona full of bravado. Phoebe followed along behind him, giving him strange looks as his entire attitude drastically changed, and not in the sort of way mere play-acting…
January 29th, 2021. Sarabiya, Egypt. Men and women looked around in confusion. They remembered little of their past few hundreds, or even thousands of years of life. For some of them, the memories were more tangible than for the others. They could remember some of the acts they had committed. A scant few remembered everything….
January 29th, 2021. Sarabiya, Egypt. Jason levitated above the Sphinx, his cold expression hidden behind the armor that enveloped him from head to toe. The shell protecting him was not a T-REX, but instead a custom seamless platemail-design Jason had made for himself. Since he could wear any clothing instantly, he didn’t need something nanite-based…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Jason sat inside his Sanctum yet again, his legs crossed, his elbows on his knees, his hands folded together, and his head bowed in thought. It was a pose he had become familiar with over the last year or so he’d spent in Aevum. Yesterday, when he assumed this pose, it…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. The next morning, Jason approached his father. Hideki was lounging on the couch again, watching the final episode of some sitcom from the 70’s. "Dad-" Jason started to say, but Hideki quickly raised a hand. "No. Go away. The kid’ll be fine." "Have we had this conversation bef-" "Yup." Hideki cut…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. A few more days passed inside Aevum. Daisy took time to introduce all the new Illuminati initiates to the full world of Aevum, and their eyes nearly burst out of their heads. They couldn’t believe it! How did the Archseer ‘find’ such an incredible hidden realm on Earth? Where was it…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Two more days passed inside Aevum, which amounted to less than 10 minutes in the outside world. Catherine had already been inside Aevum for one real world hour or so, but for the demons preparing to move on Mount Sinai, they had barely even traded potshots with the outermost sentries and…
January 29th, 2021. Aevum. Jason sat in his meditation chamber within the heart of Aevum. His four Spiritual Incarnations were not present, as he had recalled them back into his soul. He did this so he could maintain full awareness and focus during Catherine’s surgery, but in the end, he still badly exhausted himself and…
