A Starfell Night

A funny little post documenting an ideology change. Last night over Lurin the entire sky went black in game for some reason and the stars & moon wouldn't show up, so it was night for like 30 minutes and our characters assumed it was some huge ass voidal horror😎

The night sky flickered, little blips of white and blue light blinking above in its vast expanse as two magi stared up at it, speaking.

 

“Yam so curious about what’s really out t’ere. Of course there’s te’ Horrors, but how do they … Get like that? Are they souls?” a woman spoke, scribbling down a constellation atop the notepad she held. “Do Atronaches go there if they kick te’ bucket?” 

The Mali beside her shrugged, folding his hands atop each other. “Sort of. I believe that-” yet he was cut short by his friend’s voice. “Mika, te’ moon disappeared, am I goin’ blind?”

 

Indeed, as both studied the sky they’d notice the sudden lack of stars, not even the light of the moon itself could be seen. No swirls of purple nor distant stars could pervade the imperceivable curtain, and for that moment, complete darkness cloaked the Principality only broken by the streetlights and lanterns. The woman scrambled to the observatory door to take a look, her eyes wide and her jaw dropped as she came back to the table. “They really disappeared, but t’eres no clouds.”

 

“Well,” Mika paused. “Must be a Voidal Behemoth, Vik. T’ose things can be unfathomably big.”

 

She stared at him, evidently waiting for the ‘gotcha’ that never came. “Bigger than the sky? How can we see them?”

 

“We normally can’t, but … When it’s blocking something we can normally see, we are suddenly aware of the space it occupies,” the Silver Lubba spoke.

 

The rest of their conversation, Viktoriya couldn’t help but keep her eyes upon the sky out of fear the mammoth horror might somehow float down and eat them. For once, the woman realized just how horrid the vast deep really was. A voidal tear that could end all life itself, an infinite expanse of nothing and everything, and thousands of Magi that dare tempt such horrors through the veil with their magick. She knew not to underestimate it any longer.

Remon pondered on the Dame. If he could figure out how, he'd likely pay her a visit soon.
