Wouldn't you like to use more than words?

The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?


You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

Mortis.

[... There's something inside that hollowed out point in her chest where her heart once was. It's not... the same as when she saw Lebkuchen last week, but it stirs in that same spot.

Aglaea lets out a slow breath as Mortis pops out, and almost unconsciously, she shifts so that she's standing between her and Zvei.]


... I'm sorry. For not arriving sooner.

I... I was a goner anyways. You should've just...

[She looks down at her shoes, unsure of what to say. Aglaea is too nice, darn it.]

I said I would look out for you. To both of you and to Beatrice. To Sayo. If I'd finished in the craft room just a bit sooner, walked just a bit faster...

[Aglaea often thinks of how she has no real regrets, at this point in her life. But she's wrong. She's finding she has more now, because of this place, than she did even back home.]

I couldn't simply let him get away with it.
