← PREVIOUS | TABLE OF CONTENTS| BEGINNING | NEXT →
“‘The First Silence came not before sound, but after the first scream.’ There are no creation myths here—only post-traumas dressed as genesis.”
“She was in the monastery too… Nymeris. Sun in one hand, moon in the other. Balance by burden.”
“This tablet stuff—it’s got weight. Like… gravity on the soul. Not fake. Just forgotten.”
"Forgotten doesn’t mean useful. What does it give us—hope? Because I need more than hope to fight Victor.”
“Maybe it gives context. And context is what builds resolve.”
“The wound in the sky. The chains made of names. These are not poetry. They are architecture for belief. And belief shapes war.”
“So what you’re saying is… this is a blueprint? Of what? How to fail gloriously?”
“No. How to be willing to fail. And still walk into the dark.”
“Faith as function. Myth as operational logic. That’s… unsettling. But fascinating.”
“Aur-Mor didn’t win. He just… stayed. Chose to stay, knowing it would end him. That’s not strategy. That’s love.”
"Cool story. How’s it help us punch Victor?"
"Dust becomes bone becomes war. This is the punch."
(They enter in Anthony's Private Study)
“That’s her. The one from the crypt. The one with too many names and not enough endings.”
“Is this… a relic? A warning? Or just a very cursed paperweight?”
(Pisha starts the ritual)
“Stone of sorrow, crystal of fracture, breath of the once-spoken—wake. Wake from your dream of death. Anthony Blackwood. Your failure haunts these walls. Speak of the Tablets."
“The aether here is unstable. Something’s responding.”
“If a ghost pops up screaming riddles, I’m not responsible for my reflexes.”
"Victor… took my research. Twisted it. The Tablets aren’t history—they’re instructions."
Next Episode: “Blood, Tablets & Broken Oaths” – Memory, myth, and monstrous origins. What truth slumbers beneath Victor’s family name?
Can Anthony’s past save the future… or doom it?
What secrets lie buried in the Blackwood blood?
All shall be revealed—Same Bat-time, same Bat-Tumblr acCount! 🧛 (pun intended)!
