She sat on the end of her bed, comforted by the solid stone floor and she looked over the faded outline of the star in her hands. For a dream, the repercussions were fairly real.

She coughed off to the side, feeling the rattle deep within her chest as her lungs tried to tear themselves apart. The healing potions were helping slow down the magical illness, but she wasn't sure if what Jake had said was right. Yes the stars were powerful enough to create new gods, but did their faded state hold the same power.

She sighed and stood, staggering into the barrier as her legs gave way. It had been a long while since she had had a death experience and her body wasn't as resilient as it normally was without magic. With the star tossed on the bed she headed down to tinker with her machines, the smelter had gone out again and she made a mental note to find a way for it to self ignite at a later date.

"Maria"

She straightened, ears pricked. She recognised that voice, but it was impossible.

"Maria"

It sounded like a sigh, barely even a whisper, but it was definitely there. She left the book by the smelter and made her way back up to her bed.

"Oh Maria"

It sounded almost relieved as she arose from her work area, finally noticing she was actually there, and now the forgotten priestess could tell where the voice was coming from. The Star.

She sat back down on the edge of the bed and picked back up the star, cradling it in her hands as she closed her eyes and tried to focus through the fog. Eventually her sight cleared and she could see the vague shapes of two people she recognised.

"Galaxy!" She was overjoyed to see that her god still existed, albeit faded and almost untouchable. The two smiled in unison and it looked like Andromada's shoulders dropped in relief.

"Oh my sweet it's so glad to see you again-" it sounded like she wanted to say more, but she was nudged by Altair who shook his head.

"We don't have long, this connection to the faded star is weak at best, but Maria, you must eat that visage. You're not yet ready for what lays beyond and your friends still need you." The conviction in his voice scared her, he was always the one that gave her a choice, knowing each of her actions had it's own consequence, but if he was saying to survive with the star, there was no other way out. She had no time to question them, since as she drew in a breath their forms flickered in place.

"Please, Maria sweetheart, trust us." Andromeda looked pained as she vanished, her star filled eyes the last thing to disappear before Maria opened her eyes once more with a gasped breath that sent her into a coughing fit. When that eventually subsided she grabbed the cloth she kept by her bed and wiped her hand and mouth of the blood that she'd coughed up.

It had been so long since she'd heard anything from Galaxy. She knew that without a physical body, Richards plan wouldn't have killed them, but it still hurt not having them to turn to when things got rough.

She looked down at the star in her hands with a renewed interest. Something serious must be coming if Altair was insistent, and to be honest, with that beast around she didn't want to leave those left to face it alone. She mumbled a quick prayer that eating this wouldn't make her worse before she crushed the visage into crumbs and swallowed them.

It may not have been a full star, but the rush of energy that flowed through her made it definitely feel like one. The magic in the world maybe gone, but the faded star renewed her personal store to the point that she wouldn't be going anywhere for a long while yet. It felt good, to be healthy once more, and she sent silent thanks to Jake, wherever he was at the moment, for giving her this chance.

She stood, the first fluent movement she'd made in months, and grinned, headed out to find Ken and Ace. They had been helping her by making the health potions, and with the loss of Zoel, maybe seeing her looking well again would help the poor adoptive mother just that little bit.

#the rambling thoughts of a make believe priestess #((hey look i did a thing))

Maria. Would you do anything to protect? Ones you have cared about have perished or hurt because you stood by.

I'm done standing by. I'm done losing people because I'm too scared to act. That time is over and I will protect those I care about no matter what.

I would love to think that this is done in a way that’s supposed to be endearing, but I have a feeling that you’re just telling me that no matter where I go you’re gunna be there watching me ((Message in binary leads to youtube))

Magic is fading Maria~ You can only be here so long before you wither away to nothing~

you think I don’t know this?! I’m trying everything I can to right what has happened, I don’t want to subject everyone to this magicless world that’s slowly killing everything that once called it home, even if that costs me life in the end

You won't have to wait long then if that's your choice~

.... what’s that supposed to mean??

Oh my lady~ I know every thought that passed through his head, every dream and nightmare he had~ I know what he wanted for you and it was death. Why else would he have exiled you~

Here’s the thing though my anonymous friend, if he wanted me dead so badly, why didn’t he just kill me himself? Why was exiling me his only choice?

At this point I don’t care what he wanted from me, my life is mine until it’s snuffed out, and I’ll do with it as I damn well please, even if that does mean I end it prematurely.

Live. Live in spite of what /he/ wanted for you. You want to live to see the world that he wanted you to never see right~

What do you know about what he wanted for me? Hell, even I never knew what he wanted unless he explicitly stated it, and even then there was a good chance he was playing me.

The world is currently dying my friend, and at this point I either die with it, or find a way to save it, and dying with it seems a he'll of a lot easier at this point.

You want to live don't you¨

*snorts* I mean, that changes day to day so you gotta make a pretty convincing deal to settle that one way or another

Hello my dear, care to make a deal~

a deal?? what kind of deal?? And for what??

((2)) I want to ask him more about the void for my research, but I don't think he'd appreciate it. Unless he really likes being asked questions, but I can't tell yet. He reminds me a lot of Maria, which kinda sucks considering how much I still miss her. She doesn't come by much anymore.... I'll see if I can talk to Lord Galaxy tomorrow. I need answers to these questions before I actually lose it and ri-"

these... these sound like Ace... as if he was writing about a time where I wasn't there... I mean, I'm not around much anyway I have to find out how to save us, but still...

I'll ask him about it next time I see him, maybe he can shed some light on things.

((1)) A piece of paper floats about the clouds. It gets caught by the wind and falls down until it reaches your balcony, now stuck in between two planks of wood. It reads: "-axy showed up today, and I swear he's the only god around here that didn't immediately dislike me. Unless he did and I didn't notice, which wouldn't surprise Ken. He's interesting to say the least; he talks vaguely but still straight forward, if that makes sense. He's somehow more direct than End which I'm thankful for.

~Word got around to the barflies and the baptists, My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook, I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it, Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look, Go and fix your make up girl it's, just a break up run an', Hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady 'cause IRaised you better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart, But this ain't my mama's broken heart~

~Can’t get revenge and keep a spotless reputationSometimes revenge is a choice you gotta makeMy mama came from a softer generationWhere you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face~

you seem to know a lot about us, but can you see further out? Do you know of a spider fae quite dear to my heart, one that no one else remembers but ended up becoming a close friend of mine?? Is okay?? Do you know?? ~M

I do remember Gossamer, yes. Although once he left Astia I did try to follow him as he crossed worlds, but it became more and more difficult as he continued to world jump. From what I saw of his skills though, I am confident that he is alright.

Oh thank the gods, I was worried he’d get lost to the void. As much as our start was rocky, I feel like there was a world we became closer...

though I am confused, if magic is failing in the world without the stars to balance it, how are you able to communicate to us?? You must use some kind of magic in your wristband to get through to us, right??

~So bring me the night, send out the stars, 'Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far, Darken the sky and light up the moon, So that somehow you'll be here with me soon, Bring me the night, Bring me the night, That brings me to you, You~

I... you.... Daniel??

A child reaches out to touch your face, their eyes a dark blue full of twinkling stars. The tips of their small fingers gently brush your skin and a small smile rests on their face. "Maria...I've missed you Aunt Maria!" Purple streaks start to dart through their eyes as similar streaks of light green appear above their head, circling and weaving through the strands of their light brown hair.

A-Aunt Maria??? Child who are you?? Where'd you come from?? Y-you remind me of... I can't say his name, but oh my poor Erika I miss her so much and you remind me of her before... well before it all went wrong...

There’s been times here where I think my life isn’t worth living anymore. I’m so alone after Jake’s death, no one really understands what it’s like to be alive for thousands of years and have to watch everyone you’ve every loved fade away into nothing.

Today was the first day in a long time I decided to venture out of my room, no one had come to visit to make sure I was alright, I guess they all had their own lives to lead while I was stuck in the past, but it’s odd to find a chest at the bottom of the stairs when I haven’t heard a soul enter or leave the building. The last thing I expected to find was a note from Jake, wherever his next world might be, and a diary. It reads like it’s from an old follower of Galaxy, from just as the war began.

“Fall harvest, year XXXX

I did not make it in time. There was a request from the Church for us, something that they usually do not do, claiming us heretics and all that, but we are not ones to turn those in need away.

I was tasked by Our Eyes to go provide assistance and evacuation before the oncoming storm of war arrived. I was a continent over at the time but I did my best to make haste and keep another sect from falling. I failed.

The entire temple was ransacked by the time I got there, and the relic was no where to be found. There wasn’t any leads, just the corpses of acquaintances and old books.

I am but a Whisper of my Lord, meant to never see the light of day and help the world progress in anyway I can, I keep the monsters that cannot see the light of day at bay, I play the role of assassin to stop the kingdoms from going to war. I play the doctor, healing the sick and helping the wounded.

Yet I failed to stop this.

I fail frequently, and it weighs down on me.

I will rest at our Sanctuary nearby the temple, and figure out my next move,

I am but a Whisper of my Lord.

May Whispers show the way.”

I didn’t know what all of it meant, but the temple must be the one that the others found under the lake, the books there made references to a relic as well, and thank Galaxy Zen was around to show me where they found it, otherwise I’d be searching for days.

Something felt off though, there was something I was missing, so I went searching around the edge of the lake and found a path nearly completely overgrown by the surrounding vegetation, that led to a little underground hideaway that was decorated with the colours, and banners, of Galaxy. At least I’d found it, a place beside my temple that held the powers of Galaxy close. The tree in the centre stood as green as if it hadn’t seen thousands of years of war and suffering, but it was the path behind it that interested me. I could see a cloak that shimmered in the dim torchlight, clearly showing it was enchanted to some degree, and it looked a lot like mine, only less war-torn and altered. There was a chest either side, one help a bow, a sword, and a pickaxe, each engraved with runes and symbols of a language long forgotten to most people, but I could read it as if I’d been taught it from birth.

“Naught but a Whisper - last blade of the Whipsers” was the sword, the engraving shallow and rushed, but still visible after all these years

“Silence is golden - Bow of the whispers, to strike foes true” read the bow, it’s neat carvings ringing with a power that was neigh on impossible to get this day in age.

“The Last Laugh - One of the last works of the tinkers” Was the works hastily etched onto the head of the pickaxe, in a hand that was the same as the book that was in the second chest, though the book was neater and easier to read than the words on the tools were.

“Dear Maria,

To you, I am nobody, merely a voice upon a page, letters in the wind, a woman, long since dead.

To me, however, I can say I know you quite well. I was there at your birth, and well, I am glad to say that I am not there at the end.

I am like you, a guardian, one who was under the following of Galaxy, part of a quiet, secret force of their followers called the Whispers of Galaxy. We are not meant to be seen, merely help things along in the shadows, and do what we find is right.

I was sent to this land for what I thought was to fight back the rising of the gods, the ones who did not obtain the stars, but stole them, claiming them under their own command and using their strength to change history, to rewrite the truth.

The gods you know are liars

...

S-oorry, my hand is losing its steadiness, I was injured on my way to this sanctuary, and here I was given my final mission by Galaxy.

TGhe spoke of a time where they will be even further from the world than before, and a time where you will feel very alone, and your final brethren will leave you walking your path as the only guardian.

To ease your journey we've left you our final works, the last pieces of the Order of Whispers, before we cast aside our robes and blend into the daylight once more.

To take up the name of a Whisper is up to you alone. The robes will accept you either way.

May thew whispers of Galaxy be ever present in your ear

-Whisper Alice."

I had bearly read her name before the book slipped from my hand and I reached for the robes. My place in the world was always a mystery to me. Until now that is. I knew that to be a Whisper was my calling, my place in this world to help it back on it's path, but even now, after all I had known was gone, it still bugs me that the gods we had all revered so much, were frauds tht had stolen the powers they had gained. It was too much to ask to have a person true of heart for a change, to be able to say that they had nothing to do with these misgivings of mine, but if those gods weren't the real ones, the ones destined to hold the power of the relics, then who were? and how were we going to find them?
