Chapter 1: The Reigns of Aethers

Chapter 1: The Reigns of Aethers

The glistening starry night-filled void, spanning beyond the ginormous glowing pale cyan roots of the planet-dwarfing crystalline tree with its radiant glowing cyan leaves rarely falling from its branches, loomed over the Aether Realm as a low hum echoed from the occasional falling leaves. One of these radient leaves fluttered through the void traversing a vast distance of time before a pale golden finger-tipped hand caught the leaf by its stem. Crouched on one of the many roots of the Aether Tree, Foreseer Zalroth brought the leaf to his face and blankly stared at the leaf before letting out an amused exhale.

(Foreseer Zalroth is a tall adult male kitsune[a humanoid with kitsune ears and tails]; he has slightly long silver hair with cyan to pale golden ends, greyed-out pupilless eyes, toned body, pale white to the point it's faintly cyan skin with pale golden fingertips, twenty large[three times his size] kitsune tails made of embodiment qi[pale golden energy with a wavey/particle effect], and kitsune ears made of embodiment qi)

(Zalroth is wearing a skin-tight reflective sleeveless silver shirt, white fur belt with the lower half of a mage robe attached to it, black fur trousers, golden-coloured cotton socks, and silverwood getas)

"I feel like Ela chose that title for the purpose of spiting me," Zalroth remarked as he placed the leaf on the root. The leaf sunk into the root, dissolving as it descended and uttered a musical chime. Zalroth glanced down at the chiming root and smirked at seeing a teenaged Lola, as she struggled to do her high-level calculus homework.

"Come on, Mr Zalroth, help me~" Kuuyasa whined as a polygonal garcol aether construct held Kuusaya by her tail. The aether construct's azure-coloured crystalline body chimed and jingled as it waved Kuuyasa around like a ragdoll.

(Kuuyasa is a short feminine, eight-year-old-looking humanoid; she has razor-sharp spikey dark purple hair that goes down to her shoulders, a red left eye that doesn't have a pupil, a pale purple right eye with a pink snake-like pupil, has super pale purple skin, dark pink scales coating her body[forearms, hands, bottom half of legs and feet], dark pink plated curved horns that have the appearance of a crescent moon, a long dark purple tail with a pale pink underside, and small dark pink spike running down her spine)

(Kuuyasa is wearing a black hooded cloak covered in multiple dark purple swirls, fluffy knee-low dark pink shorts, and a slightly oversized dark purple T-Shirt)

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the Realm of Hidden Hymns with the others?" Zalroth asked as he hovered over the headless aether construct while he carried Kuuyasa in his arms. The aether construct flinched before it bursted apart into multiple azure-coloured crystalline dust. Kuuyasa silently lowered her head and poutfully poked her fingertips together.

"B-but the multi-voice kid told us too," Kuuyasa stated. Zalroth went silent before he heard child-like giggling behind him. He glanced behind himself in time to see the blur of the other kaiser beast gods (which Kuuyasa is also one of) jumping into his kitsune tails. Taking their chance while he was distracted, Kuuyasa lept out of Zalroth's arms and dived into Zalroth's tails as well.

"Alright, Ela, what do you wha-!" Zalroth blurted out in shock as he turned around and had Ela's faceless face mere inches from his head.

(Ela is a kid-sized humanoid-shaped... embodiment for the concept of creativity. Their body is made of azure blue crystals with a baseball-sized orb of light in their chest; they have scruffy glowing cyan hair, large tree root-shaped wings made of aether[a dark azure blue-coloured crystally metal filled with rainbow-coloured stars] sprung forth from their back, and two azure-coloured horns on their forehead)

"One is here," Ela stated using a girly voice with a faint chorus of an uncountable amount of voices mimicking their voice. Zalroth amusedly scoffed and rolled his greyed-out eyes.

"When aren't you?" Zalroth asked, causing a [ >:| ] to appear beside Ela.

"One will ignore your remark and state a bordering reality is close enough to one that travel between the two is now possible," Ela stated.

"And?" Zalroth uttered while smirking.

"One sensed rogue god-level aether constructs migrating to this other reality, so, Foreseer, must go and deal with them," Ela added.

"Before we have another maelstrom situation?" Zalroth asked, with Ela nodding.

"And One will allow for Boundary to accompany you," Ela stated. Zalroth mindlessly nodded in response before opening his eyes in surprise.

"It's that serious?" Zalroth asked with a serious tone. Ela nodded before Zalroth turned his serious frown into a smirk, "But not serious enough to get the whole gang together though?". Ela's floating emoticon spun around like a helicopter as they huffed.

"And Foreseer should know Overseer, Organizer, Systematist, and Architect prefer residing in The Realm of Hidden Hymns," Evona stated as they floated over the space beside the tree root.

(Evona is a short teenaged-shaped embodiment for the concept of Re-Formation. Their body is made of azure blue crystals with a baseball-sized orb of light in their chest; They have long scruffy glowing cyan hair, two large horns made from azure blue crystal aether on the side of their head, and an oversized fur-looking cloak made from glowing cyan space)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Zalroth amusedly rubbed the back of his head and cheekily grinned.

"Worth a shot," Zalroth remarked as he waved his hand, dispelling his embodiment qi kitsune tails and ears fade away, "I would say see you around, but, well, you know.". Two [ >:| ] appeared beside Ela and Evona as they crossed their arms. As his body became coated in embodiment qi, Zalroth cheekily stuck his tongue out at existence's conceptual embodiments and teleported away. The duo shook their heads as Ester walked up behind them.

(Ester is a lanky sixteen-foot-tall humanoid embodiment for the concept of Stability; Their body is made of cyan crystals with six large symmetrical curved horns protruding from their head and azure blue roots protruding from the back of their head which constantly lose and regrow glowing cyan leaves, a featureless face, a football-sized ball of light in their chest, and wearing a pitch-black feathery knee-low kilt-like piece of clothing around their waist)

"Cease your insistence on messing around," Ester stated with a male voice being his main voice. Evona's emoticon took on a more pouty expression as Evona turned their head at Ester.

"Or what The Singularity will put us in time out?" Evona asked jokingly.

[Is That How You Wish For I To Respond?]

Evona froze up at hearing the disembodied voice and floating text of The Singularity before Evona fell backwards and teleported away. The two remaining concepts stared at each other before looking up at the top of the aether tree.

[... ... ...]

[My Bad]

"You should really show up visually if you wish to converse, The Singularity," Ela stated.

[One Doesn't Need To Say "the", Singularity Will Surfice]

At the end of everything, where the roots of the Aether Tree end and the boundary of the Seas of Fragmentium begins, a pale golden flashed on top of one of the many roots and from the flash Zalroth appeared. He stretched his arms over his head and leaned backwards as his bones made crystalline crackles.

"Here to spar again, Foreseer?" Lurioku The Boundary remarked cheekily, with him overemphasising the Foreseer part.

Zalroth cheerfully chuckled and lowered his arms before standing up straight with one last crystalline crackle.

"As much as I'd like to, we got a job to do," Zalroth said cheerfully.

"It's that serious, huh?". A swirling mass moved around within the Sea of Fragmentium before a hand of antimatter (a pitch-black material with a bold glowing azure blue outline) emerged as the mass moved above the aether tree roots.

Zalroth placed his hands on his hips and shook his head before he raised a hand to Lurioku's. Zalroth grabbed Lurioku's hand and yanked him fully out of the Sea of Fragmentium, revealing his full antimatter body.

(Lurioku has the shape of a tall and toned adult male alkorian[a humanoid with horns on their head which give off a fruit-like sent/taste]; He has a featureless face, and curved horns around his head which resemble a crown)

"Shall I take on a more visually interesting appearance?" Lurioku asked as he pointed his arms out to his side and waved them up and down, making them wobble like jello. Zalroth shook his head from side to side.

"Don't waste your energy, I don't want a repeat of last time," Zalroth uttered as he swayed his head from side to side. Lurioku lowered his head and body as if he were sighing.

"You'd be mad too if you spent so much time on the appearance of your avatar only for it to get resettled out of nowhere," Lurioku uttered defeatedly. Zalroth shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"Be that as it may, you should've known your appearance is tied to what world you're in, like Ela and co.". Lurioku placed his hands on his hips a shook his head.

"I don't think they count... since their forms are automatic, Z-1," Lurioku uttered.

"Fair... enough," Zalroth said with a heavy heart. Lurioku leaned forward and shook his head at Zalroth's tone of voice. The duo stared at each other before quietly chuckling. Lurioku raised his hand and formed an antimatter longsword.

"So... where exactly are we going?" Lurioku asked as he flicked the long sword before spinning it around the wrist of his outstretched arm. Zalroth shrugged, causing Lurioku to flinch, making him unsummon his antimatter longsword.

"Ela only mentioned the aether constructs had migrated to an alternate reality currently bordering the Azure Reality," Zalroth explained.

"You mean like the ones you told me about... urm was it Koser and Donzi-.". Lurioku rubbed the back of his head, struggling to recall the correct names of the realities, but only ending up saying even worse answers. Zalroth lowered his head and sighed pessimistically.

"Kaiser and Dominus.".

"Ah, yeah that was going to guess those after about... thirty more others.".

[Your Last Guesses Were Aziora And Midnight Eternity, The Second One Is The Card Weavers' Classifications For One Of The Aether Tree's Timeline]

The duo stared at Singularity's floating text before Lurioku scratched the back of his head.

[I Would Ask If You're Ready, But You Know]

Zalroth smirked at Singularity using a similar joke to him before he blinked and was standing in a clear blue sky.

"For the lo-". Before he could finish his sentence, Zalroth plummeted through the sky while watching Lurioku shrink from view, as he was confusedly looking around for Zalroth.
