In a brand new world there was a lone island in the middle of a sea.
On that island, where it is said the Gods descended unto the land, there stands a temple.
Inside the temple itself, it’s said the one that became known as the Grand Mage had cordoned off a sizeable chunk of it and built several large square pillars.
Each one was adorned with a symbol familiar to any of the other Heroes that came with him as well as depictions of certain people and scenes pertaining to those people.
The Star Goddess
From the Ashes she rose, and gave to all of us this Space for us to thrive in.
Even though she was unfortunately Tainted, she succeeded into giving to us the bright future we all share.
While many knew that she had loved the Grand Mage for a time, she ultimately would find herself in the arms of the Doomed Thief after she shed her mortal coil, all while guiding the Grand Mage from Beyond as well as bringing Time’s Heir into the world.
The Royal Light
A loving voice calling out to gather together those who would forge a new way forward.
She helped bring together those who would endure the great test and create the world we all live in today.
She loved many, and many loved her, be they good or misguided.
She would ultimately sacrifice her passage into the new world in order to help those she loved to pass through.
To this day, she continues to love and be loved.
The Doomed Thief
A man splintered, he fought and conquered his own personified evil.
He became the leader of an army of light and led them into a battle to decide the future of everything and helped bring about their victory.
After finding love with the Star Goddess, he helped to bring peace to Time’s Heir during a critical time.
He decided not to enter the new world with the others, deciding instead to stay with his love in the Beyond.
Time’s Fair Maiden
She worked herself to the bone to help others, thinking that her help was spat upon and would ultimately be useless and in vain.
Oh, how wrong she was.
She held power over both man and beast, sending them both into battle.
After weathering a dread storm, she thrust herself into her work in order to help the others survive.
She would ultimately stay behind and watch as the others entered the new world, standing beside the Blood Knight.
The Blood Knight
The Speaker of the Ancients who communed with the Dark Ones.
His power would ultimately ensure victory for everyone.
Commanding powers given by the most dreaded of beings, it would enable him to harness abilities not intended for anyone other than the Dark Royalty.
This power, while it did indeed help to turn the tide of the war, ultimately stayed his feet when it came to entering the new world.
He would not be alone, though, as Time’s Fair Maiden would stand with him and keep him company as the others forged new paths.
The Goddess of Light & The Misguided
Two halves of the same person, both broken.
The Goddess fell madly in love with the Fallen, following him.
She would become the center of the great Taint that threatened to tear everything apart.
In the end, the Fallen would discard her, sending her to spiral to her doom.
The Misguided would continue in her place, though in more unorthodox ways.
While she seemed innocent, she would not think twice towards ending someone deemed as evil.
She would ultimately being about her own end, finding her other half in the Beyond.
The Fallen
A broken fragment born from the Doomed Thief.
He led those who worshipped a Great Evil.
In doing so, he would ultimately become an obstacle to the Heroes in their path towards the new world.
His great evil would be crushed, leaving him to drift in the Beyond alongside his brothers as well as his beloved, the Goddess of Light.

If you travel there today, you'll see specks and small trails of red at the base of some of the pillars.
It's said that those are the tears that the Mage shed while building these memorials.
Sometime ago, during the short stint between sessions, you had taken some things from MS' labs. Now you plan to use them on yourself. You stood at the door and said good-bye to all... you cried when Connor left. You wish them all luck and love. You met with DA, EB, and MS one last time. Turns out: there might be a way for them to get to the new universe. You hope they make it. You hope they can be happy. Soon you'll be alone in the session. That's not so bad, you have FA in the bubbles.
But that doesn't change the fact that there will be hours where you'll be alone. That said, you have the potions. You end up back on Breaker's land, where your home was before the kids left and you gave it to them. You wander until you find Breaker's old home. The one he'd came to the session in. You find a bed in the house and sit on it. Taking out the potions you mix them and drink them until they're empty.
A funny feeling overtakes you, your eyes get heavy and your body grows weak. You fall over onto the bed, your eyes cast up at the sky. You couldn't die, not with the god powers still intact. So you're only choice is to sleep. Now you'll sleep for eternity, hopefully. If the potions work the way you thought they would, you'll be asleep for a /very/ long time.
Now it's time to be the husband you couldn't be during the session because of the chaos.
Holy crap, man. I never knew I'd be in for such a wild ride. This was probably one of the greatest things I've ever done like...ever. Before this I didn't really flex my roleplaying muscle on Tumblr at all, but when things started to pick up after SBARG's end, I just couldn't help myself but to play along. And then /all this/ happened. Just...wow.
I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who was involved: the Players, the Mods, the GMs--everyone. It would have been a totally different experience if even one of you weren't around for the fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I truly hope we all keep in contact even after this is over. You are all so very awesome and stellar and other amazing adjectives. If you want my Skype or anything, just drop me an ask of a fanmail.
With love,
