When you look at the sky what do you think of?
The Expanse of it all?
Maybe the fact every being on this planet is interconnected in some form or fashion.
Well, when I look at the sky I think of the vast vacuum abouve us, in the grand scheme of things were just a hairs breadths away from popping like the soap bubble we are.
In our reality all of the vastness of space so far is only filled with planet, asteroids and many other things we know probably one/tenth about.
But past the entrance to the mountain everything changes, some astronomers of our organization have taken it upon themselves to go star gazing to see if we still have the same constilations on that side of the veil.
Unfortunantly, it blinked.
The void itself blinked at the star gazers.
Some went mad, others went real~ Quiet.
Stolen novel; please report.
They lost the path before them, if there are being larger then the sun then what reason would they have to continue on in their chosen field.
So they changed paths, some went into the generic worship the large being route, while others went the bury there head and forget in booze path.
Almost all of them did this, all except one that is.
Phil.
Good old Phil, a master at what he did and a master at what he does now, which going from programmer to Bionomic Mage is a leap I never thought id say in my life.
See he started off by using the the low powers of the Mountain to change himself one step at a time. His first goal was by changing the depth of his being.
I dont mean his height or his personality, by depth I mean that he changed the mutability of his soul.
This is the part of his record no one but himself knows about.
All we know is that he ate something that modified his soul to allow for greater changes down the road.
A few known methods of change we have seen is him consuming different parts of creatures.
From the bone of a greater salamander in the depth of the mountain, to the venom of a blood leak spider.
Other methods I have personally seen was him taking different artifacts he finds on the mountain and integrating them into himself.
I cant give you an accurate description of Phil anymore because he's changed so much that I dont really have any idea what to make of it.
But he's gotten to the point where he went to talk to a god yesterday, or a self proclaimed god I should say.
We havent heard back from him and its been three days since his last communication.
I have faith he wouldn't've died so easy though
