Most people assumed a troll's disappearance on Alternia was due to being culled. Those of Nouva would tell you otherwise. Why? Because they were those trolls that disappeared. It was not by choice. Nor was it at random. It was their destiny. They were chosen to leave their world to live what could possibly be a better life if they could move past their prejudices and the laws they had to leave behind. But alas, they could not. Not entirely, at least.

Most trolls, and their lusii, who were brought to Nouva for the first time had found themselves at the border of a huge city. Vergil, the first troll to be had on the small planet and so far the only to be able to speak directly to Tridivir, the goddess of Nouva, had been waiting for the troll to arrive. He knew they would appear- the goddess told him so. He speaks of what power the goddess has. About how she can teleport things, even living creatures, through time and space. From different dimensions. She built the city of Nouva using this power, taking buildings from other worlds to build her city. He spoke of how Tridivir rests at the peak of a mountain. A giant worm curled around the top.

And then Vergil speaks of these trolls chosen for greatness. Of Tridivir giving them a couple of construction drones to create a whole new hive in her city. She believes that they can create order. Or great chaos. They are deemed worthy enough for her special attention. They are deemed worthy enough to be the ones to change Nouva for the better or for worse. Even the goddess did not know of all that is. She did not know the future and how those she brought to her world would turn out to be. All she knew is that they were supposed to be there. And so she made it so. Vergil tells these special trolls of their power, of their leadership, and tells them to go forth and make change.

But... many days the goddess holds a game. A deadly game that can lead to death. But those who join in the games have nothing to fear, not even death itself. For, when they die, they come right back to life. Those who win many rounds earn Tridivir's great respect and she keeps special watch on those who win the most rounds of games. The one, by the end of the perigee, who has the most points from the games will be bestowed special powers of teleportation and being able to create things of thin air. This is the power that these trolls strive to best others for.

Fate and Regrets

Chapter 1 - Beginning of the End

The air around Nouva and it's cities became gloomy, hard to breathe. The plants and foliage began to die and the creatures on it withered to nothing. As their livestock began to die off they were quickly replaced with an overwhelming amount of hostile entities- shadowdroppers, jellyfiends, explosivefiends, spiders and archerfiends began to spawn left and right, quickly taking over the cities that were once protected. In the midst of this all, Vergil Rapier called for a meeting at the City Hall with all those that could make it past the deadly creatures barring their path.

It was at the Nouva City Hall that our heroes first started their long journey. Vergil explained to all those that attended that the Goddess was weak, dieing, and that they were receiving help from an unknown outside-source to try and find a way to save her. With what little energy she had, she gave them a map to a specific location, though where exactly this location was relatively unrecognized. It took a good eye and a brave troll to speak up and point out that it was in a desert. Only two deserts were known at the time: one north of Nouva City and the desert Polaris was built in.

The trolls split into three teams, two that would go exploring, a desert each, and one composed of Vergil Rapier and his moirail to check on the goddess' condition. A communicator was given to the leader of each team for long-distance contact and they promptly set out to accomplish their goals.

Vergil Rapier and Briana Ceresk headed straight for the goddess, Tridivir, atop her shrine. It was a long walk through hostile creatures and quite a dangerous climb to get to her. When they finally arrived, the rainbow drinker took notice that she was even worse than she had been before. Her power was nearly drained after having given him and the others the maps. She could barely speak at all. Even his moirail, Briana, could tell that was something definitely wrong with her.

After a few moments their communicator fizzed and a voice echoed over the rocks as Hassan, the leader of the team north of Nouva City, spoke. They found the location and it was quite a sight. When communication between the two ended, the team in Polaris was contacted and everyone gathered at the shrine to leave, Hassan in the lead once more.

The building in front of them was foreign to their eyes. A crystal structure of many colors, falling apart and corroded via the harsh weather of the desert. The entryway circuitry was broken which made it difficult to enter, and the inside of the building was covered from top to bottom in vines, partially obscuring their vision. Ascending several sets of stairs they found themselves in what looked like an old library. Everyone searched the shelves for something that could help in their endeavor, pulling old dusty books that were falling apart. None held the answers they were looking for.

As they were about to give up on that idea, one of the trolls found an old diary, it's words smeared and fading over time. With what they could read, it spoke of another goddess, of time running out, and of a portal with hidden parts within the temple. Curious as to whether the building they were in was the very temple that the book spoke of, they began to search the building once more. The parts were found and the gateway was created. Vergil, being the mayor of Nouva City and the translator for Tridivir, bravely stepped forward to hop through it, though when he finally got close enough he hesitated. The sea dweller, Attemm, in annoyance with the rainbow drinker's hesitance, tackled him through the portal, both disappearing into the void.

Everyone, concerned for the two and for the goddess, soon followed.

Chapter 2 - The False Interpreter
The travel was short and everyone reappeared in the temple, though in a different location. Something felt off about the whole ordeal and upon inspection of themselves, they found that they were trolls no more. Instead their skin changed to that of a blue color, their hair into pale, thick tendrils. Their clothing changed as well. Before they could discuss this sudden change in appearance, a blue man appeared at the doorway, one that looked similar to them but was draped in blues and silvers. He introduced himself as Centauri Celestialtongue.

With great weariness, our heroes followed him out of the temple- the ruins were whole once more. A gaze turned in the skies direction revealed that they were deep underwater, sheltered by a bubble that covered the small city. Centauri gave them a small tour, introducing them to where they were to stay for the time being and where they could eat. Eventually he parted ways as the heroes settled into the new home. When they were done they headed out for a meal and joined up with Centauri once more.

As they ordered whatever it was they could, and ate with the strange utensils that the blue people used, questions began to spill. With Vergil's advice they kept their true identities secret as they learned of the eau lourde race, of Centauri's significance to his people, and how Cristallum, the eau lourde's world, had it's own goddess. They learned about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, pups and families. Confusing for some to take in, but deemed important none the less.

When it was time to get some rest, the trolls were reluctant to use the beds provided for them, for fear of nightmares and many other things that awaited them when their eyes closed. Quadrants, friends, and complete strangers shared rooms, and often even beds, with each other. As sleep overtook them, they easily relaxed - there was nothing to fear in the end.

Day came and so did their energy. They found themselves hungry having digested their dinner overnight while they slept. They gathered at the restaurant they ate at the night before and waited to be served. When no one appeared it rose suspicions but none thought too much of it until a ruckus was heard outside. Confused, starving, and still weary of their new surroundings, they followed the sounds back to the temple where they listened as Centauri conversed with Acionda, their goddess. A sea pancake, manta ray, of epic proportions. As the eau lourde continued to argue with the goddess, the crowd below grew and Vergil, the translator for the troll's goddess, became skeptical.

The conversation ended and Centauri turned to his people, giving them grave news: Any who questioned Acionda's decisions would have to be thrown in prison. The rainbow acted on instinct and interrupted him, pointing out that the goddess did not say that and was instead telling Centauri to step down from his position of interpreter for her. The blue man refused and called it a fallacy. The goddess could only have one interpreter and Centauri was it.

With great encouragement from his peers, the truth came out. Vergil explained where they were from, how they got there, and what their mission was. He told of how he was the translator for his own goddess back on Nouva, the one they were trying to save. The eau lourde, and his followers, were unconvinced. Centauri quickly commanded the arrest of all our heroes and demanded they be thrown into prison. They didn't put up much of a fight as they had no chance- the enforcement were on them in seconds, hightailing them away from the crowd and stuffing them into cold, tiny cells.

The trolls-turned-eau lourde were at a loss. They came to find a way to save Tridivir, to save their planet, but failed. There was sorrow and rage. Blame was tossed around and the trolls quickly fell into despair. Centauri decided to grace the heroes with his presence, however brief. He very much believed what they said and he couldn't let them get in the way of his plans. As to what plans he was speaking of they didn't know nor did they seem to care at the moment. They had every right to worry about themselves for the time being, even as Centauri left them to their own devices.

When all seemed bleak and hopeless, a somewhat familiar voice echoed throughout the supposedly empty cell across from them. They weren't alone.

Chapter 3 - Fall of the Goddess
The owner of the voice was revealed and it took everyone by surprise. As it turned out, Centuari Celestialtongue was not who he was- the real Centauri had been thrown into prison. The real Centauri was in that very cell across from them. The man who claimed to be Centauri, the one who had toss them all into the tiny cells was Centauri's twin brother: Quasar. It was apparent that the brothers had conflict when it came down to ruling subjects, as they had both been princes of the Empire of Olde on their original planet.

The real Centauri, being as kind as he was, understood our heroes position and what they needed to do and offered to help them out. They were brought to the mess hall and were guarded by an officer blocking their exit. The chef who served them turned out to be an ally to their cause, or at least Centauris. She whispered to Centauri of their plans and the inclusion of our heroes. As she left them to prepare for their escape, the true translator turned to the imprisoned heroes and gave them his plan.

It was explained that his goddess, Acionda, made a copy of herself and hid it in the temple. Vergil and the others were to go find that copy and bring it out to the top of the temple while Centauri had to retrieve something from his apartment before meeting them back at the temple when he was done. He didn't give much detail other than that and shortly after a commotion started- the chef noct out the guard and everyone took off.

When they entered the temple they were unaware of where to even start looking for the copy. Before they could even head up the stairs to try and start their search, the chef from the prison came in to give them a clue, something Centauri accidentally left out. "The key is in the well." There was only one well the knew of and it was in the city square. Stumbling upon the well they tried to come up with a plan to receive it. Without hesitance and without much thinking, Briana dove deep into the water to retrieve the key, trapping herself in the water as she couldn't swim worth the life of her. She ran out of air quickly only to discover she could breath underwater, even as Vergil rescued her. The team of trolls-turned-eau lourde promptly returned to the shrine, unlocking a hidden underground chamber concealing an egg.

Sure that this was the copy that Centauri had been talking about, our heroes brought it back to the surface and swam up to the top of the temple, using their new underwater breathing ability and waited for something to happen, standing around to protect it just in case. Centauri reappeared, though Hassan was obviously weary of him for some reason, and expressed his gratitude that they had done what he needed to do. Hassan voiced his issues, having read his aura to be that of the fake Centauri, Quasar, his twin brother. A battle ensued. The eau lourde was tough to take down but Alvyia created a perfect distraction for the prince- a surprise kiss to the lips. While she did that, Adalet and the others prepared to take him down. Vergil received a grave injury from his own moirail, as he had been thrown at her earlier, and was beginning to bleed out due to the water surrounding them. The battle ended when Quasar was able to swim past the heroes and dodge their attacks so that he could shove Arioso into the egg, crushing it and all hope that Cristallum had left of surviving.

Even though they couldn't save Cristallum, they didn't give up. Vergil was helped to dry land where everyone seemed to express concern for him but he wouldn't have none of their attention just yet- they had to catch the fleeing Quasar first. They followed the severely injured eau lourde into the temple and found a hidden lever, revealing a stair case. They quickly descended it in chase. This brought them upon a hidden space ship, which Quasar had come to Cristallum on. Before they could enter it, the doors to the ship closed and Quasar fled where they could not follow.

The heroes, now at a loss at what to do, discussed their next move: How do they escape from this now dying planet and return to their own goddess to save her and Nouva from the same fate? They didn't need to think too hard when there was a loud thumping noise back at the entrance to the temple. As it turned out, Centauri had returned just as he promised them, book in tow, but he had passed away, crumbling into nothing as his age caught up to him. One of the heroes fainted at the sight while another picked up the book to read it. It was there way back home. They simply needed to find the equipment needed to build the same portal that brought them to Cristallum and set it's coordinates and time to Nouva.

When all was said and done, they left through the portal to go back home, Munroe being the last, in hopes of rescuing Nouva. What they learned in Cristallum they held dear, as they knew it was their only hope back home.

Chapter 4 - Last Chance
They arrived back on Nouva, some of our heroes returned as trolls but others were stuck as eau lourde. They didn't have much time to discuss such a problem as their main concern was saving their planet. A troll, Mayall, visiting the shrine stumbled upon them and offered to help out. Due to Hassan immediately taking defense at the troll's sudden appearance, many of the others were worried. Vergil and Briana, however, thought nothing of it. The more help the better, as they said. And so they split off into two teams once more, to explore the shrine inside and out. Adalet personally checked the water underneath the bridge for any hidden doors to no avail and so they headed outside.

A hidden trap door was finally found upon their return by Cardie, tucked safely out of view in a tiny space behind the shrine. She descended the ladder and checked the area to make sure it was safe. As she was down there, an earthquake erupted and the shrine began to crumble. When Cardie gave the all-clear, everyone headed down to see what she saw. They found Tridivir's copy, like they had hoped. It was on a small platform hovering over a large portal, much like the one in Cristallum. As they gathered around it, Vergil became ill and his injuries took a toll on him. Before anyone could help him, Mayall quickly shoved him down into the portal below where disappeared through it, the portal closing on him, cutting off any who wished to follow.

Mayall was quickly tackled by Vergil's moirail and he was pinned to the ground briefly before Hassan took charge over him. Briana collected the egg and everyone headed to the top of the shrine as they did for Acionda's copy. It wasn't that hard to keep track of Mayall and keep him out of the way as they waited for it to hatch atop the mountain. There was a bright flash of light and a smaller version of the current goddess appeared, squeaking happily at her citizens. Relieved that her planet was finally saved, Tridivir collapsed with a heavy sigh and turned back into stardust, having spent all her remaining power to stay alive long enough for the heroes to save what she created.

After a brief greetings to the new goddess, our heroes dragged Mayall to the penitentiary, having run into another troll on the way- Vergil's ex-matesprit, Dharak. There was no time for questions and answers but the purple blood followed the small crowed and watched them in curiosity. Mayall, having revealed himself as Quasar, was thrown into a cell and questioned. He became snarky and unwilling to answer until threatened. Though he didn't know where Vergil went, he did explain himself. About how he came back to Cristallum after our heroes had left it, following them through the portal and gaining the disguise of a troll, just as they had done as eau lourde. He hated his twin brother- older than him by a few mere minutes. Old enough to be more spoiled by their parents. The empire would have gone to Centauri if he hadn't done something about him. He was the one who poisoned Acionda and he was also the one to poison Tridivir, to get rid of her and her people so that Quasars people would never find out what he had done.

Having all the answers they needed, Briana asked one final question- where he had been staying. When she gained what she needed, she lead everyone to Quasar's hive and began to search it, feeling as if the eau lourde had been hiding the truth about Vergil from them. They searched high and low, Dharak having offered to check the field of crops and shed outside, but it was Hassan who had found the mysterious keys. After finding something interesting on his own, Dharak lead everyone to the small shed where they placed the keys in an odd lock, revealing a hidden trap door that Dharak instantly fell through as he had been standing atop it.

Shortly after expressing their concern for the purple blood, they all descended the long ladder down to the hidden basement below. There was a huge spaceship in the making and a large screen high above the basement. After briefly exploring the space ship, careful not to touch anything, they all checked the console located in front of the screen. Briana ended up going back on her own command, having turned the screen on in curiosity.

The background was bright and decorated with crystals but there was no one to be seen. After a brief shout coming from the screen footsteps could be heard and a beautiful eau lourde appeared, a view of her shoulders and up. When she asked who it was that was contacting her, Briana fiddled around once more to give the woman a visual. A conversation began and the woman introduced herself as Nebula, the Queen of the Empire of Olde. One thing lead to another and the Queen found out what her pups had done, both good and bad, and she grieved for the loss of Centauri. After a while she calmed and requested a visit, to see her remaining pup and to decide what to do with him. After an agreement between her and Briana, the temporary leader of the citizens of Nouva, the screen was shut off.

As they waited for her arrival they decided it was best to start settling in on Nouva once more and to figure out, for those who did not, how to change back into their original troll-selves.

Chapter 5 - The Queen's Visit
Vergil was lost and so was Tridivir. Though with their new goddess came hope, they still mourned for those who were gone. There was no doubt they wanted to find the mayor and no one more than Briana, wanted the rainbow drinker back. Condolences were expressed by everyone who were there, even by Dharak. Vergil’s disappearance pushed a great change. It was up to his moirail to follow in his footsteps and pick up where he left off. For this they planned on receiving the new goddess’ help in the search for him, dubbing her Aelorais: Goddess of Nouva.

The Queen’s visit wasn’t a brief one, that’s for sure. Upon her arrival just outside Polaris in the sands of the great desert, she was greeted by the trolls who had been waiting for her arrival in great patience. New faces were introduced and they eventually moved into the ship, where they sat down and discussed her pup’s fate. The ship she came in was grand and made of many colored crystals, a beauty to see.

Nebula offered to discuss the fate of her pup within the ship, out of the dry air of the desert they were standing in. Once they were inside they all settled down around a huge table surrounding a throne. After the queen took her place, the talk began. She had thought about Quasar and what his fate would entail on her way to Nouva. In the end, she decided to leave him on the planet, to be taken care of by Briana and the others. To teach him how to be the prince that he needed to be. After some consideration between the trolls there, Briana agreed that it would be the best idea.

After they were finished, Queen Nebula requested to visit her pup, to tell him what they had decided. Honoring her request, Briana and the trolls lead her to the Nouva Penitentiary in which Quasar was waiting in a cold, dark cell. It didn't take much convincing for the prince to accept his fate. In fact, all it took was a promise from the Queen herself that he could come back to his home planet and lead. Quasar was then released.

Seeing it a good idea, Nebula asked Briana if she could see the goddess, Aelorais, that the trolls spoke much of. She expressed the idea that it would be wise to talk to the goddess about keeping Quasar on the planet, as she herself was in charge of the entirety of the Nouva. As the goddess spoke, Briana found herself to be able to understand her. Thusly, she became the translator for the new goddess and explained things to Queen Nebula. Eau Lourde were welcome to come and settle down on the planet of Nouva in the future, whenever they see fit. However grateful the Queen was, she had to return home as her people needed her. She departed from the trolls, giving them a farewell, and returned to her ship.

When the queen left, Aelorais continued to explain to Briana why she had become the new translator. Due to the loss of the original translator, Vergil, Aelorais had been without one. After watching over the trolls, both on Alternia in the different dimensions and on Nouva itself, she decided it would be best to make Briana her new translator. When Briana lost her moirail in an effort to save the planet, she didn't take the time to grieve and instead set forth to ensure the planet was safe and that Quasar was taken care of first and foremost. This is what convinced Aelorais that she would be the best choice. Briana Ceresk, now translator of Aelorais, was more than grateful and proud to have been chosen for such an important responsibility.

The new translator then asked if the goddess could grant them help in an effort to find Vergil, to bring him back. Though Aelorais said she knew how to help, she didn't have the power to. She was still too small and the shrine that had been destroyed lacked the power she needed to do anymore than bring new trolls to the planet and give special, but very brief, powers to them. With that, the trolls believed it would be in everyone's best interests if they built a new shrine, as the old one was also too dangerous for new trolls to venture through.

And so they did. The shrine was built on top of the mountain. The rush of new power from this shrine enveloped Aelorais and she grew bigger, now with the power to help them in their plight.

Special - Aelorais' Vision
All the trolls and eau lourde that could come gathered at the shrine that they helped build several weeks ago. Aelorais expressed her gratitude and offered to share a vision of Tridivir and Vergil's shared pasts.

Upon agreement, the scenery quickly made it's change. Everything became extremely dark and very foggy. The shrine itself disappeared, leaving the cold stone of the mountain beneath everyone's feet. There were no trees, no life. There was nothing but fog far as the eye could see. What wasn't covered in fog revealed a barren wasteland of dirt and rock. The fog itself was of a greenish color, most likely toxic and dangerous to inhale.

When they turned around their city was non-existent but a familiar hive was still there off in the distance.

Those who attended, trolls and eau lourde alike, would find that they could breath fine for some reason, even though it was obvious that the gas shouldn't be inhaled. Upon inspection of themselves, they would find that they are visible, but faded. See-through. As if they might not really be there or may be a ghost themselves.

Then Vergil Rapier appeared, ascended the mountain. His coat was zipped and his hood up, shrouding his face in shadows. Batdaddy lay curled near his neck. The both of them struggled to breathe, coughing as they climbed. The trolls and eau lourde tried to talk to Vergil, to gain his attention, but he never heard nor saw them. They weren't really there.

A flurry of shooting stars had shot past the planet of Nouva. There was a twinkling in the sky, in the distance. One of the shooting stars heralded itself towards Vergil. As if he were crazy, he opened up his arms to try and catch it instead of dodging it. He was confident that he could, as if he knew what was going to happen. As the shooting star continued towards him, it split into two. While half of it landed far in the distance on Nouva, the other half Vergil caught in his arms. As if like magic, the gas around the direct mountain dispersed and small saplings burst from the ground.

It was an egg. Vergil caught a falling egg.

He cradled the egg in his arms, staring in the direction of the 'other half' of the shooting star, wondering what just happened. Eventually he turned to the egg and whispered "It is all right now, you are save." There was a small whisper in return from within the egg, Briana translating it to 'Thank you'.

With a bright glow enveloping the egg and Vergil in light, a giant dirt noodle was revealed, Vergil holding it in his arms. His nose wrinkled in disgust and he dropped it on the ground, resulting in a loud squeak from the dirt noodle and a severe scolding from Batdaddy. The rainbow drinker returned to his hive after expressing his distaste for 'vemales', albeit crushing Briana's own spirit in the process.

The sun and moons passed in several cycles and Vergil returned. He never once spoke to the worm but he sat there, watching as the rest of the gas dispersed over time and flowers and plants began to bloom and grow. The celestial being itself never changed sizes, never grew bigger.

Eventually night fell once more and everyone ended up at the bottom of the mountain, within the shrine that had previously been destroyed when Tridivir passed on. Vergil was building it. The goddess and he spoke back and forth as he worked. Her little squeaks were of excitement, happy that Vergil was finally doing what she brought him there to do. The reply she received was Vergil's expression of boredom and how he didn't want to be alone any longer in return for creating the shrine.

Time passed once more when the shrine was complete.

The trees and flowers were in full bloom, there were clear skies, birds chirping, creatures running around on the ground below. Vergil had what looked like a large map, scrawled open and weighed down with loose stones. He pointed around on it, talking excitedly, a huge smile on his face. He made gestures with his hands as he explained to the goddess, who was now fairly large, much larger than Aelorais currently was, of how he imagined a city. Of what it would look like, where what would be.

Eventually he stood, having rolled up the map and clutching it to himself, still smiling broadly. He then spoke for a final time. "Thank you, Tridivir. I had a rouhv live back on Alternia but perhaps you are right- perhaps I vill have a better live here. Perhaps so vould many others. I vill help you. I vill prepare your vorld vor those who could bring it change. Vor those who are destined to leave Alternia vor a better live that they could make their own."

And with that everything faded.

Vergil, the forest, Tridivir.

Everyone was back at the shrine at the top of the mountain. Aelorais sat there, gazing at them with a blind stare. She explained that she didn't have as much power as she thought and would have held on much longer to the vision, to share more of what they needed to know. She said to give her more time, to let her store more power. She promised to share more of her vision with them when she had the energy. But for now she was sleepy. So very sleepy.

The trolls and eau lourde were left to wonder what the vision she shared could possibly mean, and what the shooting star split in half meant.

Terra von Lebkuchen 2014

Chapter 1 - The Gingerbread Eater

At the beginning of the perigee, all those who lived on Nouva were teleported to Terra von Lebkuchen a village on Nouva's moon. There the goddess expected them to kick back, relax, and just have some fun.

But fate had something else in store for them entirely.

Upon arriving to the village, the residents of Nouva found the place empty. Void of any life. This was a red flag for many. Quasar, seeing no sign of Briana at the time, called a meeting in the small gingerbread hut on the hill. There they found food and armor, thus setting out to explore Terra von Lebkuchen to ensure that it wasn't as dangerous as the eau lourde feared.

At some point, on their way back to the hut, a creature of great proportions appeared. Wearing red as bright as candy apples, the creature snatched up Munroe, one of the trolls who went exploring with them. A chase ensued and everyone found themselves in front of a skull-shaped gingerbread cave, extremely hot caramel pouring from it's empty sockets.

They carefully made their way inside to find Munroe stuck in a cage; but he wasn't alone. There, beside him, was a gingerbread man. A rather old one, and exhausted, from the sounds of it. Though the creature was nowhere to be found, with the gingerbread man's urging everyone escaped the skull cave and made their way to the gingerbread hospital. That is where they left the gingerbread man to recover, visiting permitted.

Chapter 2 - Once Upon a Time
Scott, the gingerbread man that they rescued alongside Munroe, had recovered over the weak and had everyone gather again in his hut. There he told a story. A story of truth.

His village started with a factory. This factory is what created him and many other gingerbread folk before him. It is the factory that created his wife and loving child. It's origin's are unknown. It's creator remains a secret to him and all of Terra von Lebkuchen.

Who, or what, created the factory didn't matter to him any longer. Not with the loss of all those who he held dear.

He explained that the gingerbread eater, as what they called the creature who had taken Munroe, several weeks ago had erupted from the ground, from deep within the bowels of the moon. The creature came in the night and consumed more than half of his village. It snatched up it's people and threw them in a cage for snacking later, in case the creature didn't want to go all the way back to the village to eat. Scott had expected to die there and would have welcomed it if not for Munroe's presence.

As for why the troll had been taken, Scott had explained that the armor Munroe had been wearing was of gingerbread. The Gingerbread Eater, naturally, assumed he was of gingerbread decent and thus took him to snack on later.

When the gingerbread man's story was all but done, he turned to the Nouvans, asking them for help. He wasn't sure what they could do, other than take down the creature, but he was willing to accept any kind of help offered.

Karnas suggested that they rebuild the factory first and foremost. And so they did. With the factory built, Quasar turned on the machine which created what they needed to rebuild the rest of Terra von Lebkuchen that had been lost and, hopefully, recreate the gingerbread folk who once populated the place.

Chapter 3 - The Great Feast Preparations
Scott had the Nouvan's training for the upcoming battle against the Gingerbread Eater. He unlocked the Weaponry for them and allowed them to choose which of the many swords on the walls to call their own. Once every Nouvan claimed their weapon, he took them out to the training fields where they were introduced to dummies that they could hack at and cut into pieces as many times as they wanted. The snowtroll dummies regenerated their snow after every attack, allowing them a limitless supply of dummies.

Quasar took it upon himself to help a few trolls train with the swords, teaching them how to use it after he quickly picked up on the practice himself. Many trolls, much like Cardie, had issues with using the swords as they were not used to them. When all was said and done, the Nouvans took a break from training before coming back throughout the week to ensure they were well off against their enemy.

Chapter 4 - Beyond the Hot Caramel
The Nouvan's took on the Gingerbread Eater in Scott's stead, as he was too old to battle it himself. He left them instructions, weapons, and armor. He gave them some potions for healing and for flame protection. When they were ready to take on the beast, they headed out, using a map that Scott had created for them.

The descended through a cave shaped like a skull and headed all the way down to a wall of molten hot caramel. They used some of their potions to pass through unscathed. Once they entered they took a dive into a portal that took them to the gingerbread eater's lair. There they found the creature waiting for them and they fought.

Worse Than Death

Chapter 1 - Half a Shooting Star

The Nouvans gathered at the Nouva City Hall, just as they had done long ago before all this started. Instead of the infamous Rainbow Drinker standing behind the podium like most missed, his moirail stood in his stead. Briana Ceresk went over the vision that had been shared by Aelarois to all those attended, most of which who hadn't seen the vision themselves. She made it very clear she was determined to find the mayor and the ex-translator, even going so far as to yell off at a few of the attendees when they were goofing off at the back of the bleachers. When everyone finally calmed down she pulled out a map, explaining that she found it on Vergil's desk when she had been cleaning it up. She didn't know what it was or if would help but she knew it to be important if Vergil had it and might have even been the location of the shooting star they had seen before. Irregardless, it would make for a great time-passer as Aelarois stored more energy and power to show them a new vision as she promised.

Unlike last, everyone set out as a group, the olive blood leading the way. She pulled them across Nouva City and beyond, to the East past the camp grounds. Eventually they came upon a cesspool of boiling black ooze. There was a wooden fence erect around it, with a couple of signs warning trolls to stay out and keep away. As dangerous as the area seemed, there was a more personal moment when they realized Vergil left the fence and signs to deter strangers, and even more personal one for Briana when everyone pointed out that he misspelled 'within' on one of the warning signs, seeing as how he was teaching her how to read and write.

It wasn’t long before one of the Nouvan’s took notice that they were being watched by another troll. The unknown troll took off before anyone could ask and they chased him through the forest. The troll was fast and nimble, dodging their tackles and retaliating. They obviously had something to hide but the Nouvans would never know. They somehow followed him all the way back to the pit full of black goop, where he jumped over a fence to escape their pursuits. Wrong footing lead to a shocking and gruesome reality- something a lot of the Nouvans wished they didn’t know.

The unknown troll had let out a blood curdling scream and writhed, consumed by flames. Instead of burning his flesh it contorted him, twisted his bone and muscle until he took on an entirely new shape. With a loud hiss he leapt out from the cesspool at the bystanders and attacked. The troll had turned into an explosionfiend. A very quick and agile explosionfiend.

The battle was long and hard, wrought with sweat and terror amongst the Nouvans. Of the explosionfiends they knew, the creatures were slow and easy targets aside from their self-combustion. But this one, this one was different. As the battle grew longer, though, the creature began to slow to that of the speed they were used to but it was still not slow enough. Knowing it was in danger of being killed, the explosionfiend took off as it had done when it was a troll before. And as before, the Nouvans followed.

Gaping wounds eventually bled the creature out and it died at the steps of an unknown structure to the Nouvans. The place looked dark, ominous, and not at all welcoming. With a deep breath, Briana lead them inside. What awaited them was nothing less than surprising- and all but scary. A live dragon was pinned to the ground by an unseeable force, it’s mouth gaping wide and unable to close. It’s eyes followed their every movement, never blinking. It’s breath was hot, as if it could breathe fire unto them at any given moment. Weary from their travel, and from the great beast that they found, they saw it fit to go and see Aelarois to share their discoveries and see if they could learn more from her.

Aelarois, the goddess of their beloved planet, greeted them in her usual manner. She had grown significantly and was more than grateful for their hard work at building her new shrine and giving her the hope she needed to build her strength and power. As Briana went on to translate for her, to explain what they found to the celestial being and to explain to the Nouvans behind her that Aelarois planned to share another vision, everyone held their breath. Last time her vision broke before they could get very far into it, to find out where that shooting star had went. But they stayed because they wanted to find Vergil, if for different reasons than his moirail.

Last time they had appeared on the same mountain but this time they appeared before the dragon that had been pinned to the ground in the large structure they had found containing it. The dragon didn’t notice them this time and the rainbow drinker himself appeared, climbing the steps and entering through the archway. He turned to the dragon then, with a rather cruel smirk and said, in a very low tone, “This time I’ll find it. You can’t keep it hidden forever.” And, as everyone watched with wide eyes, Vergil entered the dragon’s mouth just as the vision broke.

Chapter 2 - The Great Enemy of Nouva
Knowing what was to happen now that Aelarois has grown big enough, the Nouvans began to gather at the shrine and waited in patience for the translator to arrive. To pass the time, those who attended mingled and learned of their neighbors, new and old. Eventually they became restless as Briana still hadn't appeared and so they sought to search for her.

Where they found her was the graveyard. So stoic as she stared at a grave marked with her moirail's name. It was a nasty prank by none other than a vicious purple blood that the majority of them had come to hate. But this- this broke her. She cried, she screamed. She even punched the headstone into rubble. Without her moirail it was difficult to calm her down but the trolls managed.

The olive blood was having troubles functioning and often got lost in wonder, walking in the wrong direction or pausing entirely to start breaking down once more. A few of the trolls had enough of it and she ended up being toted all the way back to the shrine by a cerulean blood, the name Extium Mornex, and the group was then lead by Zenith Armada. At some point Briana broke free and lead them back to the shrine herself when they got close enough.

At the shrine, the conversation with the goddess was short and the vision began. They were all still on top of the goddess' mountain but the shrine was gone like a vision before. Vergil was there, talking with Tridivir and was excited that their city was finally finished and that other trolls could come to Nouva. The city, however, was very different than how the troll's remembered it to be. There were different buildings, many of them, that they didn't recognize and couldn't help but wonder what happened to.

It wasn't long before the sky in the vision rapidly darkened, an almost gray haze obscuring the majority of the city and any light that illuminated the mayor and the goddess. Off in the distance was a great shadow, being lead by a much smaller one. Though the largest of the shadows stopped at the edge of the city, the smaller shot forward and sped towards Vergil and Tridivir.

There was panic among the Nouvan's watching, believing that the creature could possibly harm them even though it was simply a vision manifested by Aelarois of the past.

Vergil lunged forward, wielding his infamous golden sword: Shimming Bite, and aimed to cut down the great beast. The dragon, however, was way too fast, flying circles around him even. Eventually his sword made impact but the blade itself shattered to pieces, leaving him vulnerably and Tridivir seemingly defenseless. The beast turned on him then, attempting to snap it's jaws down on the jade blood. But Vergil withstood and tried to keep the dragon's mouth open by doing his best to hold the giant jaws apart with what little strength his legs and arms held. Annoyed, the dragon swung Vergil out of it's mouth and into a nearby building, leaving ruins in his wake.

That's when the dragon turned it's sights on the goddess. Thankfully it bounced off some sort of invisible force field, leaving it dazed but only for a moment before it went after the translator again. Before it could even cause any harm, Vergil braced himself and a greatsword shimmered to existence in his hands. He and the Nouvans watching were at awe, a few of them even excited. Tridivir, his beloved goddess, explained that the greatsword was imbued with her powers. To kill the beast.

Rather than chasing down the dragon to hit it, Vergil swung the blade of the sword through the air. A wave of power washed over the dragon, forcing it spiraling downward. The rainbow drinker had turned the tides but only for so long. The great beast knocked the swords out of his hands after a short battle and dove after it, swallowing it. With only their one remaining option at this point, Tridivir managed to seal the dragon in a flaming structure with it's jaw frozen open. It was still alive and very much awake but it could not break from the goddess' bindings.

The jade blood turned to Tridivir, questioning her. She explained that the giant shadow, and the force behind the dragon, was her brother. A rare occurrence amongst celestial beings in which a part of their egg, of their shooting star, breaks off as it enters their planet's atmosphere. The dragon itself was a spawn of her brother.

After the vision shattered, the Nouvan's didn't need to be told what Vergil had been doing when he entered the mouth of the dragon from the previous vision. Nor did they need to be told what they had to do. Through Briana's translation, Aelarois warned that something was coming and that Nouva was in danger like so many sweeps ago. They needed to retrieve that greatsword that Vergil had lost during that battle and bring it back. Finding Vergil could wait- Nouva needed them right now.

Chapter 3 - Into the Belly of the Beast
The Nouvans collected in front of Vergil's hive, shortly after being let in by Briana Ceresk herself. She escorted them to the basement below, where she had previously built a forgery. There everyone worked as a team to prepare themselves for an upcoming hunt for the greatsword. A few people built the armor, others built swords or bows and arrows, some studied the books in storage to create potions, and others worked on enchantments to make everything more durable for the journey. When all was said and done, and a map retrieved from Vergil's archives, they visited Aelorais once more, who granted them a teleport to the giant dragon pinned to the ground. They hopped into it's mouth and jumped through the portal deep in it's throat.

What they found was unexpected and more daunting than they originally had thought. After a little exploration, they found a slip of paper left behind by the Mayor himself. Before they could read it, however, a creature of enormous size appeared in which they had to take down first and foremost. It was quite the battle but eventually a few of the Nouvans landed a successful blow, taking the creature out.

Journal Entry #1
When I hopped into that mouth, I expected to come to it's belly and find Regalius, the greatsword gifted to me that I had lost, lodged in it's guts. This was not the case, obviously. This is, in all of it's entirety, surprisingly large dragon innards.

I'm thankful that I am able to speak to the goddess even when I am here.

A great many enemies roam the place and I must be on my guard if I want to find that greatsword. The goddess said I don't need it anytime soon but she said our citizens will need it in the future. I have to find it to protect them from any impending danger.
- Vergil Rapier

After reading it, Briana confirmed that the Goddess was still there with them, and could in fact speak with them. Having already ran into a creature of this world, or rather a creature of the dragon's innards, they were convinced that they were well prepared enough and thankful that the olive blood had them do so earlier. It didn't take them very long at all to find another journal entry.

Journal Entry #2
This is taking longer than I thought. There are large castle-like structures strewn about and there's so much lava everywhere. This is nothing like Nouva, either. Back on Nouva the hostile creatures would usually come out during the night or in a dark place. This. This entire world, if it can even be called that, is lit up and yet the hostile creatures still spawn!

I have to hand it to the goddess' brother - this is a real piece of nasty work wrought by him.

Speaking of which, he yet has a name. So I dubbed him Chaos. Sort of fitting if one were to think of it.
- Vergil Rapier

This was something that everyone noticed. There were gemstones that lit up large portions of the world and yet the creatures that attacked them came out in waves. Unrelenting. Never ending. They had nothing to fear, though, as their belief in the goddess' power was strong. Said belief granted flight to many of the trolls who could not fly themselves, allowing them to traverse the world with more ease and to encounter another journal entry, safely tucked between pools of lava.

Journal Entry #3
This world is incredibly vast, filled with so many creatures. I've had to make several trips between Nouva and... this place, just to repair armor and Shimmering Bite, and to restock on victual maw replenishers. At this rate, I don't think I'll ever find Regalius. Then again, I have an eternity.

As a Nouvan who was brought here by Tridivir herself, I am immortal as are our citizens. It matters not which dimension or timeline we came from because Nouva is now our home and we must protect it at all costs.
- Vergil Rapier

Many of them were grateful for the fact that it was easiest to traverse this strange world as a group than alone and this gave them hope that they did not have to make multiple trips and perhaps even find Regalius themselves. It was a task that they themselves were willing to take on. If they didn't, who would? Vergil certainly wasn't there any longer to protect them.

The found the next journal entry high above, on an overhang and out of reach by most of the hostile beings.

Journal Entry #4
H.E.L.L.

Hot Elevated Lava Land.

I've been exploring this place for what seems like forever, even though it's only been three sweeps. I'm thankful my moirail doesn't question where I have been when I disappear out from under her nose. I pray that she never finds out as I am sure she would follow to ensure my safety. It will only put her in danger.

Though the goddess can communicate with me even in here, I doubt her protection reaches this far. If I die, or someone else, while in here, well... there might be no coming back.
- Vergil Rapier

Hell. Finally had a name for the place. But this entry created a problem for many that came. Briana Ceresk was especially hit hard by this discovery. Her moirail had been sneaking around, performing such a dangerous task all alone. And he chose to keep it from her. It was upsetting to learn that. And she and the others were not so sure if they would make it out of this one alive any longer. If Vergil wasn't sure, they too could not be. But they carried on. They had no choice. They could die, yes, but it would be a guaranteed death if they went back home empty-handed.

The last entry was guarded by a horde of creatures that were of fire and smoke, circling the journal entry. It's as if the world, Hell, knew what they were trying to do. And it wanted to keep them away. It tried to fight back. It took a while to clear the way, but they retrieved the entry with success.

Journal Entry #5
Through communication and talking out of boredom, thankfully away from any hostile creature, I have learned through the goddess that her brother isn't far from Nouva. In fact, he never left.

Apparently Chaos is residing in a different dimension, still being on Nouva, but he's trapped. I'm... not entirely sure how that's possible. It is hard to wrap one's thinkpan around that information. I think what she means is that he's on a Nouva in a different dimension. But I doubt it is even remotely similar to the one I have come to love and hold dear.

From what the goddess has told me, Chaos consumes everything. It makes everything cease to exist, for lack of a better vocabulary. If he were to escape from the Nouva that he is currently on, come back to this one that we are on, he would consume everything so that it became nothing. Many lives would be lost.

I can't let this happen but it looks like it will have to wait. The goddess needs me right now and our planet is already in trouble from another force. I just hope her brother doesn't come back at such an inopportune time.
- Vergil Rapier

A few of the nouvans knew what Vergil was talking about that time; that very last paragraph. They knew that by then Quasar had poisoned Tridivir. Even Quasar knew Vergil was talking about that and visibly showed his discomfort on the subject. It took a while for everyone to move on from that one.

They came upon a fortress and entered it. Winding up stairs and ladders higher and higher until they go to the top. Regalius lay in wait there, and was retrieved be one of the trolls. She held tightly to it and they flew back to the dragon's mouth, the portal that brought them there.

When the greatsword was presented to the goddess, Aelarois made many copies of it, spreading it's power equally along each blade. The copies were gifted to the Nouvans, in preparation for a fight that still had yet to come.

Chapter 4 - The Void
The nouvans all gathered once more to Vergil's Hive, in the basement's forgery to craft more weapons and armor for the upcoming battle. Seeing as how they were already granted Regalius they sought to only build their armor and long-distance weapons for emergency. Briana hadn't seemed the least bit worried if one were to look at her but she was fighting her inner turmoil for their sake and everyone knew regardless of the circumstances.

After all was done, a visit to the Goddess Aelorais was called for. The visit was brief and informative, the knowledge of a tear in between the dimensions that could lead to disaster if not were to attack the source. She warned them not to take on Chaos, her brother, as he was too powerful and was already trapped there. Much energy would have gone to waste if they attempted such a task.

No, she told them to take on the threat that it was to summon. Another spawn. This was their goal: to wipe it out before it tore a large enough whole for it to escape into their dimension, on their Nouva. To stop it from releasing Chaos from his self-imposed prison. The promise to bring them back herself after jumping through the rip gave them hope of their safety.

When they finally found the tear, Quasar shoved Briana through the portal. His excuse was that he was helping her, though it was obvious he was going about it the wrong way entirely. Soon he and the other Nouvan's followed and as they travelled further through the dimension they found that they were on top of Chaos- he was large enough to be considered a floating island!

They stumbled upon a transparent egg, glowing bright, evident that it was about to hatch if they hadn't learned from the last two instances. There was something inside it, that the egg was drawing it's energy from. No, not something. Someone floating unconscious within the egg's confinement. An eau lourde of something familiar. The olive blood leading the small band of Nouvan's instantly knew who it was.

But they had not much time to react to such a discovery. The egg hatched, dropping Vergil Rapier, the very one that they had been looking for so long, to the ground in front of them. What hatched was a giant and vicious spawn of Chaos, not unlike the one that Vergil had fought in the vision that had once been shared with them.

The battle in itself was beyond difficult, their weapons barely doing damage to the beast. Grateful for Regalius as it did the most damage upon it's scales. The spawn put up much of a fight before it reared back and finally got the feel of it's wings, taking off in flight. This made it all the more difficult to take it down as Aelarois had yet to have granted them the power that Tridivir gave Vergil, aside from the greatsword in their hands.

When the battle finally ended they retreated, many wounded from the fight and others wounded from attacking each other. They gathered Vergil's motionless body and headed to Polaris, where the only sanctuary for injured Nouvan's was that they knew of. They proceeded to leave him in Cardie Medisa's care, with Briana watching over and unwilling to move from her seat.

The spawn of Chaos was killed and their mayor and previous translator was found. Now all the Nouvans had to do was find a way to ensure that the tear would be sealed so that no further creature can attempt to come through. And Quasar had a theory, an idea that he hoped would do just that.

Chapter 5 - Redemption
The ex-Prince of the eau lourde may had been still new to the entire 'good' thing and struggled to redeem himself, but even he noticed when there was a dire problem that needed to be fixed. Though they took care of Chaos' Spawn, the tear was still there. If and when the spawn came back, the tear in the dimensions could further and the spawn itself could wreak havoc on Nouva. Worse, Chaos himself might escape. It didn't take all that long to gather a small rag-tag team to take care of it, but one issue arose: How were they to prepare for what could possibly be a hard battle when they had no material? Quasars solution was quick, though he was sure Briana wouldn't like hearing from him even if it were for the greater good.

The prince's court had gathered all the same, but barged in at the wrong time; upon a mutt worried sick over her moirail's state of consciousness. At first she would not listen or abide to what anyone would even say as she was blinded just by sheer rage. Out of all times a nuisance could bug her, now was not the proper time nor place. They wanted to borrow something of hers that she took great pride in - her forge that was inspired by someone she had met ages ago. As the not-so-royal court each explained to her on Aelarois' green Nouva why anyone would want to even bother using such a trivial thing, things started to click into place. Her moirail would awaken eventually, some of her worries subsiding for the time being. Nouva's safety was at risk as well as it's citizens and it rode on her giving permission and being a good leader - which the second part wasn't as well carried as one would think.

Preparation in the forgery was quick and easy, as they had done so before. Those who were there for the battle of the spawn simply repaired their armor and weapons before restocking on needing healing agents. Others dedicated their time to perfecting their seemingly first set of protection with the help of Quasar and a few others who were done with repairs. The ex-Prince checked and double checked to ensure that everyone was properly prepared. Once it was ensured, they grabbed the Regalius copies and headed to the rip between dimensions.

Knowing full well that the previous goddess' power was embedded within the diamond blades, he figured there may have been some way to 'stitch' the crack. To either close it off once more or to at least prevent it from growing any larger. But Quasar had no doubt that it would be a difficult task. Chaos was sure to know what they were going to attempt and the creature would do everything in his power to prevent them from fulfilling their task that they set out to do. He warned his little team of impending danger that might arise, for them to mentally prepare themselves for a possibly tough battle ahead.

But how exactly they were supposed to use the greatswords was unknown to even him. The eau lourde figured he could use trial-and-error but he knew he would be sure to feel like a fool if none of the ideas he could think of worked. Thankfully, for once luck was on his side. They slid the blades into the stone, having encircled the tear in the dimensions prior. At first nothing happened after they took a step back. The results were slow to show. First there was a shimmer, a light sparkle along the blades. Then, as if the swords were connected, whole again, a shimmering veil began to rise from the ground up. It was slow indeed.

When the wall had risen just enough, a curious troll decided to experiment and went to touch it. Their hand went right through it. Like everyone else there, Quasar was confused. How could they possibly prevent the spawn from getting out if they themselves could get through? But they had no time to ponder for an answer to such a question. Hostile creatures, trolls who had once occupied Nouva that had been grossly disfigured by Chaos himself, surrounded them. Knowing full well that this would happen, they didn't have much of a problem fighting them off even when they were outnumbered.

They fought for what seemed like hours. There was no visual end to the creatures and even though the veil that sprouted between the greatswords was nearly complete upon a quick glance, they had no idea if it would really work. At some point, one of the trolls had gotten tired of fighting the creatures and attempted to toss their current opponent into the tear. The arachnid hit the wall rather than going through it, and went up in flames. By the time it fell to the ground and the fire went out, the arachnid was crisp and had curled up on itself in death. The moment the veil was complete, the creatures of Chaos scattered. There wasn't anything else they could do to save their master now. It gave the heroes time to think as well. Their question was answered in full: The wall, the veil between the blades, would only let beings un-corrupted by Chaos through. It was safe to assume this meant Chaos nor his dastardly spawn could possibly get through it either.

After the rift was prevented from expanding, permanently, the ex-Prince's court returned back to Briana the news that Nouva was safe once again from peril; allowing most of the mutt's worries to subside, the only left being whether or not the mayor would come back to the waking world at all. After all, she was a fool without him as well as a fool around him for his sake. Thanks to Cardie and the rest of the medical team, Vergil did awaken once more and a wave of calm swept over the once feral troll. The long drawl of violence, and what seemed to be countless battles with Chaos' tiny pawns appeared to subside even for just the slightest of moments to show the old glory days of Nouva - peace for a few minutes.
