Amdirlain’s PoV - Realm Seed
Utter emptiness surrounded her, and the only energy present was within the realm’s boundary, which sat at the very limit of her Primordial Will. Though she could sense the rules for True Song were present, its availability was just a gentle dig; until the realm had energy to direct, the Power was useless. Touching the Far Chaos that pressed against the realm’s skin, she drew on that energy to create the first Soul for the realm. Mana f...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Far Chaos
Amdirlain arrived on a platform floating before a mountainous form that extended further than a solar system. On the platform with her was the multi-limbed construct, which sank into a crouched position that caused it to resemble a misshapen spider. The silvery bubble in which Maker floated through the Far Chaos wasn’t a realm. Instead of the boundary being maintained through a self-sustaining rule set that applied to all within it, the M...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Yúla
While the four of them planned the locals’ education, the tribe was busy with politics. Erechon and some hunters followed those departing from the settlement’s platforms and saw them off on some of the older rafts. Their construction featured a set of trunks lashed together and stacked atop another set, rather than the three canoes and framework arrangement. The female who had tried to sit got dropped at the opposite shore, and the others t...

As the others finished lunch, Amdirlain floated some of the iron free from the gathered sand and spun it through a slow spiral. “There is certainly iron there, so well done.”
Nîthang brushed the spinning granules. “I’m glad all that wasn’t for nothing. Is that all of it?”
“No, just what was close to the top.” Amdirlain returned it to the pot, and Nîthang emptied what had collected in the trough into it. “It’s e...

As the sunset approached, Einior started packing up the pieces of the platform. “I’m going for a swim before dinner.”
“We should do the same, and see if we can snag some fish,” Sarah replied.
He glanced at their dry clothing and down at his sweat-stained attire. “You seem like you could do this work all day.”
Amdirlain smiled. “It is more relaxing than dealing with monsters trying to kill us.”

With Milui and Camen present, the children continued to resist their curiosity and stayed focused on their chores. While the four of them watched on, the youngest continued the gathering under the oldest children’s supervision. Meanwhile, another group made spears from dried branches. The same resin Amdirlain had used to harden her top was being applied by those making spears to harden their tips.
While they observed the children,...

Amdirlain and Sarah waited until Lanyaro was out of earshot before they relaxed.
“The way you spoke to Lanyaro, you seem confident about being able to remove him. Are there many elders in your settlement?” Amdirlain asked once he was out of earshot.
“Only three contribute to the tribe’s decisions at a time. Every twelve winters, the families draw lots. Two winning families decide how they will pick a speaker...

The creation of planets and systems went steadily, each smoother than the series she’d created with Gilorn before heading to the plinth. With her dwelling on Phaedra’s desires and grief, each new world rang sombre chords through her. She could feel Lethe’s curiosity, yet she waited for Amdirlain and no memories followed the first. As the worlds formed from the realm’s energy, Amdirlain considered the connection between Phaedra ...

Phaedra’s PoV - Far Chaos
Without the sun to tell her the passage of days, time felt odd as their journey stretched on. Outside, the melody of it was absent, and only when they passed boundaries like their own realm did it shiver across them in a fluxed and frayed fashion. She resorted to the tempo of her dominant theme to determine the length of days, but it helped only while awake. When she slept, the lack of a changing reference point made it impossible to te...

Amdirlain smiled sheepishly at the others. “Do you think they’ll join in again if I find more Eldritch?”
“That was quite the risk you took flipping its Teleport, Móðir. Minerva and Týr ended up out of position.” Livia stored her spear and crossed her arms. “I would not gang up on you with them, but was there anything you didn’t share before?”

After sharing the Star Dragon’s memories of the Eldritch with the assembled deities, the deities exchanged concerned glances.

“If we don’t kill or capture them, we’ll be leaving a lot of worlds unprotected,” Livia said.

When whole, the Dragon’s general shape would look classically European, scales running from the blunted snout, along an elongated neck, to broad shoulders that widened out into massive membrane wings. Its colossal torso was heavily armoured, with four clawed limbs beside its wings and a long serpentine tail that ended in a bladed point.
Their gaze had remained fixed on Amdirlain in her Elven form fo...

When she'd remained silent on how she'd caused the scarf to vanish without Mana traces, Pel’nark had excused himself and headed back to his duties.

The echoing noises inside the space port were a mix of businesspeople taking calls as they hurried about, the clamour of families with kids, and workers trudging about with loaded packs.

They all seemed oblivious to the armed troops around them in neat security uniforms, a mundane effect that allowed the...

Alone again, Amdirlain's mind churned until she twitched at a nearby monster's yell. Freshly emerged from the Plane's landscape, it seemed intent on drawing foes to it to slake its hunger.
Billions of orcs died. How many trillions will die now that you've given effective weapons against the nests to the orcs and elves?
Amdirlain mentally sighed and countered her own mental chastisement.

Positioned beyond the boundary, she created broadcast units for Urtila’s experts to use later. The wat...

Haggling with Bahamut had been interesting, even though it stirred memories that dug into her fears regarding unknown promises. When they’d agreed on a price, not a promise, she bid him farewell and Planar Shift delivered her to the edge of a grassland in the Beastlands. The wild grasslands were an amalgamation of grasses, low shrubs, and clover growing haphazardly as the bison and other cattle wandered, sampling whatever caught their eye....

Throughout the concert, the audience’s excitement had continued to climb. Hours later, after a fifth encore, Amdirlain waved and disappeared from the stadium. At the Demi-Plane’s edge, she opened a mental link to the high priests who were present.

She let the strike land, damaging only her shirt, before she absently back kicked him the length of the stadium. He stopped hove...

Azadi loomed with the appearance of an evolved male with a lion's mane, and elongated eye-teeth. Within Rachel's theme was an evo...

Waiting for the right time for the conversations consumed far more of her morning than the conversations themselves. While ...
