Do you know where they are?

“I…I don’t, no. I’m sorry.”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Do'ya like singing bud? If so. What songs?

"Indeed I do, faceless one. I enjoy many songs, but...one of my favorites would have to be an old lullaby my creator used to sing to me. A story from their past, rewritten in song."

Plague spreads, old dog.

My siblings grow restless, be careful.

"I know what you speak of, Pale Sun. I shall keep watch, as I always do, and as I have always done."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Well uh

I could get you in contact with Jovial if ya want!

"R-really? I...I'd love that!"

He smiles up at you.

Do you know what happened to the others?

"The others? Well...a few of them. Jonas and Juliet returned to their travels across the Multiverse, while Poppy settled down and created a new world of her own. Jovial...I'm truly not sure where they went, and Howdy...I haven't seen nor heard word of him in a while. I hope that they're both okay."

Tell me more about this void storm. What was the void like?

- 🕳️

"Lucien? Well...before he fell, he was a good man. A great man, even. He was a hero in the truest sense of the word, a savior to many and a friend to even more. After the fall...he was different. He was cruel, vengeful, angry. He'd lash out at anyone who came near, even his closest friends. As for his abilities...the Voidstorm's lightning was corruptive in nature. Whatever it struck, it would rot away, consuming until nothing but the very essence of its target remained, and from there...it was a gruesome sight. The victim's essence would reconstruct their body in ways that went against the very laws of reality itself. Too many limbs, too many eyes, tumorous growths pulsating and squirming as that foul energy turned innocent people into marionettes on the Voidstorm's strings."

But rest is not forever. One day you will have to stand up and fight for your place in the universe.

- ☀️

"...You speak the truth, White Sun, even if I wish it were otherwise. One day, I will need to leave this place of peace. But that day is not today, and hopefully it will not come for some time longer."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

why were ya not able to...you know...help them?

"I assume you speak of the Y/N? If so...we were too caught up in the fighting. I didn't notice they were gone until...until it was too late. I would have saved them if I could, I know I could have. I...I was too slow. Too ignorant of my surroundings. It was my fault."

He'd look down at the lake, a sad expression on his face.
