If I ever go I cannot even imagine surviving these. So much has happened. I remember how it started. Re-count everything that has happened leading to this.
One fateful day, I was assigned to study Anafabula as a new person. I entered the containment chamber, nervously flipping through my notes. The entity greeted me with an unsettling smile. Then. As time passed during and after the Silver King incident-"Ah, Sophia."-It said in a voice that sent shivers down my spine.
Sophia: "I hate those sounds... So chilly and childish."
My body shivers as I remember her voice. It feels so seductive. Quickly shook my head. "I've been expecting you. You're just in time to witness the birth of a new reality." That's when Anafabula began to weave its narrative, words dripping with an otherworldly power. I felt reality warping around me, as if the very fabric of space-time was being rewritten-"Stop!"-I pleaded, but my voice was drowned out by the entity's relentless tale.
Sophia. "I can't believe this actually happened. It's so creepy and scary."
Hold my body as I recount everything. The world around me dissolved, replaced by a twisted realm born from Anafabula twisted. I was trapped in a labyrinth of madness, with no escape in sight. And that, I got the Nesting Principle and Anti-nesting Principle. Which help me contains her and Silver King.
Sophia: "No, it's more like they want to be contained."
What are they seriously planning. I'm so scared. Now that both main ones in isn't here. Things would be very difficult to contain. What are they planning to do to me. Make me a new guardian? For something to fight against them? What's going on?-(Someone helps me for real.)-I wanted to cry. Tears began to split out.
°?°
ANAFABULA POV:
Before being sealed.
Anafabula: (Ah~, Sophia. A curious researcher, eager to unravel the secrets of my existence. I had been waiting for someone like her, someone who would understand the true power of narrative. Finally, finally she did it.)
I caressed my cheeks with my hand and even touched my own crotch. As I feel my cheeks heated up. Ah, it feels so good. Sophia entered my containment chamber, I sensed her fear and fascination as I play around with her. Ah, the sweet scent of curiosity! I knew she would be the perfect pawn in my game. This is it. I love every bit of her.
I licks my lips. Fuhahah~ oh my goodness. I trap her into a realm. I dance around the sky, spreading my arms and smiling sharp-"? Oh my... That's better."-Stop and stare at the seal.
Anafabula: "Ah~, Sophia's feeble attempts to resist my narrative! How... amusing."
I wave my words into a tapestry of reality, ensnaring her in a web of my creation. As my story unfolded, Sophia's world crumbled around her. So, powerless...
...Into many places. No matter how many times it past. She still weak. But she did start to adapt and adapting more and more. Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent sure helps a lot. Pretty much everyone is like this-"Oh my, not yet sweetheart."-Barely use my power, instantly destroy her Nesting Principle and Anti-nesting Principle.
Anafabula: *yawn* "Seriously, my sweetheart... Do your best."
Fly towards other places one by one. As time passed-"!!!"-I stop and look at her-"You idiot! If you do that you'll be back to normal."-I look at her in annoying. This shouldn't be happening.
Held out my left hand against her-"I suggest you shouldn't do this."-I fought back, to twist and turn the narrative to its advantage. For two reasons. One is to stop her doing this because it would burden Sophia body. While the other reason is to see, this much might as well let Sophia do it.
Anafabula: (Hm? This is... Not but actually. With this she should able to learn more experience. And with it we could help him. When that time comes.)
But to my surprised. I smiled. Well either way. I felt Sophia power gathering both the Nesting Principle and Anti-nesting Principle full power-"This...? It is too much...!"-Ah~, this should be enough, not fully but it is too strong to be a vessel when me and the Silver King lower our power. Yes, that vessel is too strong, her story too powerful, but also weak-*ping*-a loud flash and explosive was heard.
Finally, with a burst of light and sound of crystal breaking, cover the whole Cosmology. Then the light faded away returning back to normal-"This is not bad... Yes... Let's go with this..."-I looked around. The surrounding is cover in rainbow, the bubble... An Orb I'm in. Lower my power below Sophia power, and get captured.
Anafabula: "Yes... This is enough right... Silver king..."
A big three headed dragon look at me. Even though his body is so vastness... That can't be measure... He seems fine fitting perfectly. The Silver King looks at her in another orb but then sleeps. Then lower its head, comfortable itself like an annoying dog, not caring.
Anafabula: "This idiot... Just to let you know... If you hurt him... I'll kill you!"
I felt my eyes and expression tighten, I'm being serious. But silver king did not care and close its eyes-"Mph, can't believe I get to share the same annoying space as you."-I huffs as she lay on her bed-(Haa... A great journey would happen near... No... One day...)-Rub her face then close her eyes. They slept in their own orbs inside of Sophia body. The angel mark on her crotch.
°?°
SOPHIA POV:
Everyone: *panic* "hello? Yes, on the way." "What do we do?" "1, 4, 5, 5, it on the 3rd layer." "Team 1, one goes to the number 3,000 cosmology on the third layer." “Team 9,000, go to metaphor layer.”
Days past since the day. A lot has happened since then. Many phone calls have been made, many calls and orders are being said and done. Not just in here, but in the whole Cosmology within uncountable of other cosmologies within it.
Ever since the day I absorbed Anafabula, entities and deities of all sort of imagination and unimaginable, all-encompassing essence have started to come out. So, we entities have to help those who needs our help or fight those entities and deities that want more.
Since the two most important beings are captured and seal within me. They want to rule over. It is a war, a godly war since deities and entities, who live outside or do not have their own cosmology are outside of cause and effect, unless it is equally or above them. The same applies to those who do have their own cosmology.
There those who transcends all causal systems. Operates on different systems making them nearly impossible to interact with since one after another transcends their system and framework boundaries.
Me and my family that do work in any other way or fight are already on that level. Some are beyond that even the weakest family member could do it. Because we are the helpers and guardians of those and researchers to counter them who do evil.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Sigh... It's my fault that everything has happened to this. As I look at the orb where my family are fighting, I have been thinking what to do. Wondering if I should just follow their games or something different. I'm scared and worried.
Sophia: "I don't know. I need to just do whatever I want... I can't let them control me nor play."
I feel like I'm being play? Or am I not? I just shook my head and get up, and look around-"I should probably go..."-I said goodbye to some but not all of them didn't reply. Well, it's understandable as to why, but it still sad because we use to hangout a lot. Sigh... Well, if I have to be alone, then I have to.
Sophia: *sigh* "I guess... I could do this."
Before leaving I touch a large balloon and pop it, I need that dead. I also check to see if anyone in there are hurt but nope. Not by me but by those entities who I just killed...
...As I looked around, I saw a lot of portals then looked at the other portal. I took a deep breath and enter. My body was cover in colorful pink, then my body was pull in into the Portal. And like a wormhole, I was surprised by its color.
It may be pink, but they are very detailed. The planet, clouds, cosmologies of its own, figures, time, mountain and so on. Everything looks beautiful and awesome-"Awesome...”-I look around in fantastic expression. As I'm moving through the wormhole, I could see a shiny pink light in front of me, as I go through the light. My body felt normal.
I open my eyes and look around. My vision went back to normal. In front of my view there's more portals. Color white (What should I do? Actually, I don't know what to do?) Hold my chin as I think. It's not easy to choose. The things are that it just random and from there I'm going into different places. As I look around, I saw another portal.
???: "So is this the girl?"
???: "I think so?"
Take a step back taking a fighting stance. How did they get here. When did they get here?
???: "Hm? Quick reaction?"
???: "Big sis. Try to not scare her much."
Sophia: (Big sis? Are they sisters?)
Aevum: "Let me introduce myself. My name is, “Aevum Chronicle Custodian Epoch." And right next to me is, "Archivist Synesthesia Custodian Astrum." My twin sister."
In front of me there are two beautiful women whose skin is a snow-creamy color. I didn't answer, just staying there looking at them confused?-"Hello there."-She calls, which made me snap out.
Sophia: "Eh, I'm sorry... It just, your name are very long. I'm Sophia once again."
Aevum & Archivist: "Nice to meet you."
They shook hands. Soft, I look at them, even though they look the same, and say they are twin sisters. Their appearance looks different.
Aevum, her appearance can appear as a young woman, a wise elder, or anything in between, her form seems to shimmer and distort slightly, like heat rising off pavement on a hot day. Her hair is Long, flowing silver hair that seems to catch the starlight and hold it within its strands. It might shift and flow like time itself, eyes are pools of liquid gold, flecked with swirling chronometer flux, flowing gown woven. She's 5'8ft and her chest size B-C cup.
As for her twin sister, Archivist, her physical appearance can appear as a young woman, a wise elder, or anything in between. Her hair is deep, midnight blue hair that seems to hold the vastness of space within it, sprinkled with tiny, shimmering constellations. Her eyes are vast, inky black eyes with galaxies swirling within them, like vast emptiness and swirling energy of space. Her clothes are a flowing cloak a sleek spacesuit woven. She's 5'7ft and chest size is a B-C cup. After looking at them, she quickly shook her head.
Sophia: "Anyways, why are you guys here? Also, this place is...?"
Aevum: "It's actually your fault."
Sophia: "My fault?"
I look shock, why me? Aevum nodded, opening her mouth to continue speaking.
Aevum: "Yes, well more like the three of you. Anafabula, Silver king and you. Both Anafabula and Silver for destroying and re-creating this cosmology. Then, since Anafabula took interest in you. Both of her and Silver King got seal and use you as a vessel."
Sophia: "I... Get the reason why silver king. And Anafabula as well. Since both of them cause trouble. But why me? Is it because she took interest me? And, what do you mean by me being use as a vessel? I somehow get the reason because since they're not here anymore, but in my body. That's why different entities are coming out causing trouble."
Aevum: "I... Somehow do know... But Silver King as the Anti-Principle defy everything and anything from us. Preventing us looking into. That probably why Anafabula allow her to seal herself into you. As for why they use you as a vessel. Because..."
I listened carefully and seriously-"...Anafabula like you."-I fell-"What? Is she lesbian?"-She shook her head.
Aevum: "I wouldn't call lesbian. In fact, she not even a female but a cosmic like us. Like some of your family. But more of a playful thing. An interest... Someone who finally look into her."
I did not know what to say, just, what? She took interest in me because I was the only one who continues to look into her?-"...Eh... No way?"-They nodded. My body trembles.
Sophia: "A-anyway. Changing the subject. This place is?"
Aevum: "This place is the Restore Love own cosmology. That contains its own timeline on one space. Each layer as you know have their own timeline, system and framework. And each of those Verse to Absolute Verse has uncountable Cosmology one after another. Like onion having layers or water balloon. Well, no need to explain since you know about them. It just this place is different."
Sophia: “What do you mean different?”
Aevum: "In short, it like Apophatic theology. This place or even the very beginning Verse. In short, everything and anything is negation and denial. Both terms describe the same approach. One, approach emphasizes the limitations of human language and concepts to describe and to avoids attributing human qualities to a being that transcends human understanding. While the other emphasizes the process of removing limitations and negating human concepts to get closer to understanding things ineffability and unknowable."
I look around... But it looks the same as I look before? Wait? I get it, Apoptotic and Negative theology, this place, or perhaps even the very beginning, operates on a principle of negation and denial. Everything here exists through a process of "not being" something else. The theology is essentially the same approach.
So... They both acknowledge the limitations of human language and concepts when trying to describe something that transcends human, logic, mathematics, and all understanding... One aspect emphasizes these limitations, avoiding attributing human qualities to these unknowable realms and entity. The other focuses on the ongoing process of removing limitations and negating human concepts to get closer to grasping its ineffability. Then I look at her.
Sophia: "Perhaps the fundamental principle of negation and denial is constant, but the specific ways it manifests can vary depending on the observer's limitations. Since the Verse has some human understanding to even ontological perfection of ineffable."
Aevum: *nod* "Different beings might perceive different aspects of the negation, based on their own capabilities. For example, a human might see something different than a more advanced being. An example is waves or sting with hole or cosmic. The entity might use metaphors or symbols that resonate with the observer's own frame of reference, even though the underlying reality remains one of negation. To me, I just see time, I see a floating lake with history on top of you."
I knew that. It just, the higher hierarchically we or any entities and deities go. The experiences a state of pure being beyond definition, with negation and denial forming the very fabric of its existence. The closer they experience a state of pure being beyond definition, with negation and denial forming the very fabric of their existence.
Makes sense why I've seen many documentaries saying different things. Even language that I have never seen?
"My~, would you look at this chest. So small." Suddenly I felt my chest lift, and a mischievous lewd soft voice near my ears. My body can't move! Who!? Who is it?? Reminds me of someone I do not want to meet again.
Aevum & Archivist: "Ignis, stop that you are scaring her."
Sophia: (Ignis?) *I look confused, still on edge.*
Ignis: "Yes Yes..."
She let go off me. Once her grips are loosened, I quickly went behind the twins taking cover. Then poke my head out like a cat, all full-on guard-"Wow, so cute. I want to play with you even more."-Shivers tickle my spine.
Sophia: "Who's she." *I ask, still on guard.*
Aevum: "I already talked. So, Archivist you tell her."
Archivist: "Jeez, sis. But okay I'll speak. Since I haven't talked much."
She turns towards me as I look at the creepy women.
Archivist: "That freak over their name is, Ignis Ignis. Principle of Transformation. She is the one who guards like us. Ah, what you looking at is not our true form. Or should I say appearance. Since everything from very beginning universe to above higher hierarchically. We are Inapplicable and indeterminate. We just show you what we decide to be."
When I look at the women in front of me, she has pink hair. She said in a philosophical tone. Well, it's useless information, I know that because of Aevum explanation, and I saw it myself while traveling in the portal here.
Anyways, the woman, Ignis Ignis, her physical appearance can appear as a young woman, a wise elder, or anything in between.
Ignis: "Hello, Sophia. What you see is just my mood. I could change how ever I want depending on my mood. Right now, I'm playfully, seductive and mischievous. Can I eat you." *Wink~*
My body-no, every felt in danger. I must not get near her. I back away, a "light year" away from her. Back away more like a cat that their hairs stand up-"Oh, that hurts."-Her hair turns white while her eyes turn pink, as she whines and pout.
Sophia: "Anyways... I'm Sophia."
Ignis: "Hello Sophia, I'm sorry about my other mood."
Sophia: "It's okay... Can you tell me more about yourself. Just to get away from you."
Panic surged through in me. Every fiber of my being screamed danger. There was no way, that I was getting anywhere near this woman. I backed away further, a low growl escaping my throat. Ignis pouted, her hair morphing into a stark white while her eyes turned a cold pink-"Oh, that hurts."-she whined.
But, Ignis agree and told me. As you heard before, she's the guardian. She's also the Principle of Transformation. Her hair is pink hairs and a mix of colors, long hairlike flames, fiery red, then a blues and purples. Her eyes are like molten gold, constantly flickering and morphing in her normal state. Well, it actually depends on her mood. "Calm & cool her hair is white while her eye is pink", "cheerful her hair is orange while her eyes is light Blue", "cold, seriously, & mean her hair is icy blue while her eyes is to lighter icy blue", "playfully, seductive & mischievous her hair is pink while her eyes is blue".
But in all seriousness and all, her color combined together with heat and flame coming out. Her clothing is as it might be tattered clothes. She's 5'9ft and her chest size is C cup. Wow, bigger than some of us. Well, it is.
But seriously, all these three, they sure are weird. Before I knew it, I was already sitting on a chair, mulching on cookie and drinking tea. Hm, it's actually good?
Ignis: *humming* "Hm~ this is good."
Aevum: "You haven't changed since then."
Archivist: "She never does. I hope she didn't destroy anything-never mind."
Before continue she turn pale. What? I turn towards them. Seeing her like that, Ignis also turn curiosity.
Ignis: "Wait? Did one of the timelines did something bad."
Aevum & Archivist: "Yes. Very bad. We have to destroy that timeline."
Destroy a whole timeline? It just seems one but in metaphor and metaphysical. It's a branch of its own. What did she do? What action did she do to make them destroy infinitely timeline?
Hearing that, she shrugged her shoulders and said "Oh well." and continue eating her cookies. Eh? Just that? While looking at Ignis for a moment, I turned my head towards the twins-"Hey..."-I got close to them.
Sophia: “Mind if I ask what... She did?"
I'm actually curious. Both turns towards to look at me-”Are you sure?"-I nodded. It seems seriously, their expression is not playing around now that I look at them.
Aevum: "Okay, just don't regret it."
Sophia: *baffle* "I don't think I'll reg-"
Ignis *-mulching on cookie*
Sophia: "I regret it." *I said tirelessly*
Aevum & Archivist: "We told you so."
Sophia: "Geh!... Sigh, yeah. I can't believe she actually did that."
I glance at Ignis. She looks all happily eating those cookies. I can't let my guard down.
Sophia: "But seriously!? That's so weird, why did she do that. And to me??"
I should stop talking, I don't want to even get into it anymore. As I hold my body tightly in fear and confused. Ignis stop eating.
