“Your form has changed.” The White Rabbit spoke in the same dignified manner from their last encounter. “Welcome to my home. Please let the children rest. Their minds are too weathered to conceive my raw presence.”
Light sparkled in her eyes as she gracefully descended. At the same time, her tone was oddly filled with childish glee. One would be none the wiser to believe she was just a child. Her eyes became scornful whenever they fell onto Jury and only Jury. The reason was as ...

As expected, the Sleepy Frost was not spared from the carnage. She was thrown into the lion’s pit with nothing but Frost’s burning sleeves as her lifeline. Women crowded around her. They towered over the poor girl as she looked down at her feet with spirals in her eyes and a question mark emoji over her head.
“They’re not pillows. They’re not pillows. They’re not pillows at all.” She repeated as she twiddled with her fingers. “But maybe they’re better than pillows?”<...

The patters of their footsteps eventually transitioned to the sound of thumping metal. The ground turned to a dull grey as they approached the passive entity. Frost stowed away the Lantern as she ordered Azure to leave her be. Her form disappeared following a respectful bow, leaving only Frost to deal with the Corrupted.
This resonates with you?
She mentally asked.
“I don’t understand it myself.” Nav was unable to describe what she felt, the cogs with...

A Disciple of Nilhim was near the top of the Fractured Nilhim hierarchy. Nilhim himself stood at the very core of the Impuritas Group which surprised Frost. She assumed that a Heart was at the root of all Impuritas Groups, but as it turned out, individuals ran the Impuritas Groups using the Hearts.
Ringmaster Phalange of the Blood Festival and now Nilhim of the Fractured Nilhim. Each one seemed to possess a personal history with a Beholder, namely those their Group directly opp...

“No… No. This isn’t how it was supposed to be… My mind – I’m the one being consumed!?”
“I’m open about my fears.” The Amalgam spoke as his mind was ripped apart, becoming one with the homogenous, cold void.
And when he returned to, his form had changed entirely. It was that of a giant, black, fuzzy beast. It walked on two scrawny legs and possessed an abnormally large mouth riddled with thousands of teeth. The form could not be compared to anything. Wi...

The crown of thorns dug into the Amalgam’s scalp. Her golden eyes glowed with pure bloodlust. A tinge of red mixed with the gold as it flickered like a flame was captured within her eyes.
The world was brought asunder. The trees of the Black Forest spontaneously combusted within a five-hundred-meter radius. The branches smoldered within a kilometer. The world was reduced to cinders as concrete towers depicting alien architecture replaced them.

It happened in a silent instant. There was no cliché roar or a self-absorbed speech prior to Frost’s assault. She immediately culled the Black Forest in search for the Disciple. Flames shot out from her palms as a golden-orange glow began to illuminate the darkness.
A loud series of snaps were met with dull thuds. The forest floor shook as though a giant roamed within. Frost created a clearing of her own after growing tired of the trees breaking her sightlines. A single passing of he...

The Escape heavily distorted. From above its lands were smeared in black. The rot was introduced by two distinct sources. The first was Frost, who contaminated the land as it warped to unrecognizable forms according to her psyche.
The Black Forest was the most prominent depiction and it further propagated even when she arrived at base of the Pillar of Light.
The Pillar of Light took the appearance of an inconceivably large oak tree. Its form illuminated the world and seemed to sit...

One crucial part of working with the Corrupted was that all avenues needed to be explored. G-Z7 was an amalgamation of all Sites, meaning that data on Corrupted would be limited moving forward.
Hence why the Essence of Light was seen as an anomaly.
The duty of a Facility orientated Site was to identify Corrupted delivered from Accumulation Sites; Corrupted that had next to nothing attached to their names aside from perhaps a single report or document. One that detailed all the hor...

When the cries died down, and as Frost went to fix her long, grey hair that tumbled over her shoulders, Cer and Ber took all the time in the world to pamper Res. Frost had already reached the Second State, having manifested the Listening Bird and the One Thousand Eyed Bird.
She looked over at the huddled Triplets, her eyes sore with fresh tears. A part of her chuckled at how Cer, the self-proclaimed eldest sister – was now the smallest of trio. Another part of her wanted to cry again,...

“Broaden your horizons!” Frost bellowed.
Twenty Red and Blue Dahlias surrounded the Black Dahlia now, each one gently rubbing its petals against its surface like the touch of a mother.
“That one! This one! Red! Blue!” Stella led the way despite her blindness. Her touch was second to none, and her sense of smell surpassed the Demi-humans present. “Jury! We’re almost done!”
Jury practically had her lips sealed on Stella’s shoulder, keeping her invulnerable as s...

The glimmer of light fell from beyond the void. A star collapsed, and from it, a figure in black emerged within their world. It was Frost. Her hair was partially white for she had manifested the power of the One Thousand Eyed Bird, and with eyes brimming with conviction for there was a friend she needed to save.
“Everyone. You can rest now. I’m here.” Her back was the only thing standing between them and the Corrupted Res. “It takes more than just grit to stand up against a Corr...

Stella’s body was trapped. The tendrils restrained every limb as she was suspended in midair. Beneath her were the uncensored faces of countless, their maws stretched to unrecognizable proportions. They were newborn chicks silently chirping for a worm.
The grip alone nearly crushed Stella’s body. If Res wished, then every limb could be plucked off like the pale seeds of a dandelion. Stella didn’t know why, but even though she could smell blood, there was an odd floral scent emanat...

“Two names down, and four more to go!” Cer shouted.
“Queiry. That means what exactly?” Revy questioned like a soldier.
“Indeed. This is one question I couldn’t answer.” Sana spoke in a gentler voice but carried the same crude tone.
“Six attacks! These Eternal Night things have six attacks!” Cer referenced Frost’s observations during their travels, as well as her own experiences in the past.
When she thought about it, the attacks of all the previous ...

Revy commanded the message to all as though possessed. The fears that gnawed at them served as a way to send their fight or flight responses into overdrive. The gears of survival churned, and she and Sana gulped the tiny speck without question.
The arena was large enough where Cer could not cover considerable ground even with her speed. The Repression Field was easily over a hundred meters. A dark cloud swirled from beyond the veil, licking at the invisible barrier with insatiable appet...

It happened in front of Cer again. One of her sisters had Corrupted.
There was no miracle to save Res this time. No Frost to lend her hand. No Ber to bring her back from the depths of her sorrow. Pure, unadulterated despair engulfed Cer as total silence consumed them.
They were plunged into total darkness as the soft, muffled weeping of her malformed sister filled every corner of the world. The Cheshire Cat, Revy, Sana and Alice instantly stopped where they stood, watching Cer dis...

The figure before them made their presence known by taking a step forward. Cer’s defenses disappeared, for she recognized this scent. She was stuck in a quandary state of confusion and clarity.
“So why… is she standing in front of me now?” Res asked no one in particular, staring at the figure as though she could see. “That’s… that’s…”
“Impressive. It’s no wonder they wanted your eyes.” The figure spoke in an all too familiar tone, but carried a w...

Flames from twisted memory returned. The mouths of scorched corpses chattered. They cried in one unanimous wail, “Help me!”, “It burns!”, “Save us!”, and the most harrowing of all: “They’re coming for you!”
Fear and death perfumed the air. On the wind arrived the smell of smoke and misery. The weight of it all threw Res to her knees as the petals beneath sizzled. An unbearable heat came in all directions as Stella desperately tried to bring Res onto her feet.

“Closer… Closer!” The voice of a child cried. It was lost in the endless field of flowers. The flower heads were too tall for Stella and Res, hiding them from plain sight.
Stella pushed the stems aside with one hand. The other held onto Res’ hand as she shielded her bleeding eyes. A world of wonderful colors was just an eyelid away, but to her it was the incarnation of terror.
Where shadows stalked the fearful, the light of colors oppressed Res.

The Blue Moon held a blue-pallid instrument. It was a birdcage with a dull, white light within. It was connected to a long handle, and it swung slowly like a broken pendulum.
“Strange how the White Rabbit can interact with the consciousness.” Azure marveled, walking amongst the children who could not perceive her. “The Caged Glimmer rattles. They must be close.”
The bargain the White Rabbit struck, one-sidedly may she add, was to simply see her. There was nothing more that...

Res lived differently from most Demi-Humans. They never knew what was so special about her other than her beauty. If they were triplets, then they all should have been valued the same, but Ber explained that this wasn’t the case.

A boundless field of colorful flowers stretched endlessly. Soft petals reached up to the knees of a short girl, whose wolf-ears flapped to a gentle breeze. Pollen and the fragrance of the field washed over her as she scanned her surroundings.
A blue ring appeared within her crimson eyes. Several more rings overlapped as they twisted and contracted around her pupils, killing the red of her eyes temporarily.

The skies turned red. He quickly realized that he had somehow misinterpreted her darkest fears. For a moment he caught a glimpse of it as Cer unexpectedly sent a kick to the side of his head.
“When was I?” Cer’s words rattled him. “Your combat experience is lacking. No wonder your kind is afraid to deal with Moons. We deal with death at every passing hour. Drawing out a nightmare from the back of our minds is another day to us. Will it work against other Moons? Who knows. But be...
