"please, take a moment to think about it, to conceive the outcome before hastily ruining your life and a rather advantageous deal for my new feathered friend. true there was a time when i could barely compete with your genius, when you outshined me and i delightfully lived beside you, working as partners and oh so much more. the sweet old days when you and i still had youth in our hearts, when you still complained that i kept to myself and refused your generous help... or anyone's.

and you were right, i understood it too late lucidia, stuck back there for years, no supplies, food or help, our weapons and our wits as sole tools... we killed them you know ? gods and things beyond such notion, beings so ancient they predated the rules that bound the physic we so diligently break and tear apart with our crafts, creatures for whom we were less than an annoying speck of dust, a flicker of light they would rather see snuffed out to go back to their eons old slumber...
i partook in the consumption of its flesh lucidia, i saw its twisted inner designs as its corpses drifted in its non euclidian void and i saw its grand tools, its hooks it used to entangle the cosmic tapestry, the knife it used to scrap away the ink of world's stories, erasing names in its messy work until nothing remained of their very iteration.
with less than an iota of its knowledge i now delve in other narratives of mine, i pluck the providential and prodigious from stories i seek and drive them to mine, i scheme, i bargain and i move my pieces with only myselves for companionship for it is all i need.

so think lucidia, do you really think there is anything you could do to stop me that would truly matter ? you are by yourself and so am i, but no longer am i alone when only with myself."


aaand that's berith sekan, former partner of lucidia (previous adopted serg) and technician specialist of kalike's crew and coincidentally the serg who got her out though unlike his commander his loyalty did suffer a fair bit from his tumultuous stay and in case i was too vague with the lil story bits those are simply other versions of himself (same person based on a now dead cosmic horror's seemingly arbitrary point of view) from other realities, worlds or narratives he meddled with to achieve his grim goals which now puts him at odds with his former lover. former in part because he now sees her as a bargaining chip he can offer to the nevrean version as replacement for a lost soulmate because of course to him it 'has to be the same person obviously' and 'she'll make up for mine'
