#The Prologue

[felloweeper]

differences from book -> series: the prologue

i have no idea what the show will keep from the book, so be aware that there may be spoilers if you haven't read it already!

the first major difference that's very evident is that we never get to know older tim. the book's prologue begins in 1991 with hawk already working overseas, like how he tells tim he'll do on the show:

it's there that he is sent a letter from his past colleague (i'll talk more extensively about her in another post) telling him that tim has passed away.

this prologue sets the incredibly awful and heartbreaking tone for the rest of the book... so props for that, ig.

this obviously differs from the show as it's set in 1986 where hawk is just about to go overseas and his going away party is interrupted by marcus (i'll also talk about him later), who comes bearing the news that tim is getting really sick.

my thoughts on this: i'm so glad this was changed. i can not thank the writers enough. we only get a slight glimpse of older tim in the epilogue (which hits way harder, obviously, after reading their backstory). i... want to understand why mallon chose to kill tim off, but i really don't. there really was no need to do it? especially since it added nothing to the story itself, and i'm not just saying that because i love tim's character -- it. adds. nothing. however! i do see how important it is for the series to show this.

READING THE SUN AND THE STAR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS FOR ME

[allstarsstorymode867]

All-Stars -Story Mode- REWRITTEN

I had decided its time to for this All-Starverse to get a redo. I had finished writing this down so let me know what you think. Enjoy!

-The Prologue-

Once upon a time, long, long, long before our beloved home was created.

There lived ancient beings that referred to themselves as the watchers and caretakers of the prime universe that was once whole and lovely, it had a name once, it was called “The Original.”

The ancient race that looked over the Original, Fijis, are the most mastered and powerful ones that today’s date can not tell from their excellence in the ways of magic and knowledge.

To make the Original to be a comfortable realm to live in, they extended the regions of the prime dimension big enough for life to thrive in other words and stars held aloft in the night skies as the moons and suns rule their night and day as whole.

But one Fiji was the most talented of her kind, Kimiko the Dancer. She would make worlds for other beings that are mere mortals compared to her kind so magnificent and great through her heart and soul. It won the hearts of her masters and fellow students alike for her wonders and magic.

She was granted as the next master to watch over the Original with her fellow colleagues, as she was content with her accomplishments and valor, she had failed to realize that her beloved friend had grown envious at a dangerous rate as she failed to recreate magic of her own time and time again.

Her friend’s jealousy grew more disastrous with each passing eon until one fateful day.

The fabric of the Original’s reality begins to collapse as darkness has begun to enter and corrupt its foundation; her friend, Matilda, has released the darkness from her heart as it forms and crystallizes everything it touches.

New races that were created were vile and corrupt:

Hallows, beings that had lost their hearts and minds after being crystalized.

Crystallines, originally as the whole as dark and corrupt beings made to trick their victims into giving up their souls.

And the most dangerous beings that were created by these crystallines that we now referred to as…

The Grieves.

Monsters that were once innocent beings but turned after they were too corrupted by the crystallines. Turned and transformed into beings to bid Matilda’s command.

With the Original falling apart into nothing, the desperate Kimiko tried to reason with her friend but couldn’t.

The bitterness and cruelty created by envy had finally gotten to her friend as she now fully crystallized and transformed into the most dark and twisted entity that will forever tore the Original astunder:

The Broken

The empress could only laugh as she took in the crying Fijis as they kept trying to rebuild but the darkness she created could only feed on everything as the Original was violently being broken up into near nothing.

Pieces of the Original had now been reduced into new, smaller universes that the Broken minion army entered and conquered one world after another in the era of sorrow and chaos.

As the last resort to save not only her kind but what was left of the Original: She had relied on one strange being that had been introduced.

Human warriors known as knights.

She powered these humans with the stones that are not meant to be used until this very moment.

The stones that are weapons that the race of Fijis will never use until this day.

The weapons of magically great power and hope:

The Crystal Stars!

X ⭗ ☆ △ ▣

Kimiko leading the group, battles are won with surprising results:

Half of the Crystalline population had been exposed to the stones’ power of light, purifying them and switching sides upon seeing the results of their kinds’ actions.

Splitting the Crystalline race into two:

Pure and Corrupted Crystallines.

With the even odds, they lay siege against the Broken’s tyranny as Kimiko’s five knights; all but one had been crystallized as the result of using the stones’ magic.

Against one fateful battle, lead by the one knight who calls himself Mage, convinced his brothers in arms to use all they got to defeat the empress in a final confrontation.

Thanks to them, they had trapped the Broken inside a crystal and had her banished permanently within the confines of the mountains up high.

The battle proved to be a price to pay.

One by one, the five warriors that gave their lives had been extinguished.

Four warriors’ bodies transformed into their respective gems and scattered into the void.

As for the fifth one, battle had taken a toll on him as he was transformed into stone.

Not much left of the Original was salvaged, but Kimiko and Fijis had decided to take the full responsibility of watching over the fragmented universes as she rebuilds what was still standing from the Original into her personal domain for the surviving races:

Furthers, Avians, Reptilians, Marines and Insectiras.The remains of the Original became our home known as The Cathedral for use as a sanctuary to thrive.

Kimiko was made the overseer of the watchers and a queen of the Cathedral as peace and harmony has reigned for many generations ever since.

“Crystal Stars…”

Icefir had finished reading the book as her green glowing eyes peered down at the page, teasing her curiosity. Through the gas mask she wore with the witch’s cap shadowing over her eyes.

“When did I hear about those artifacts before?” She questioned herself as she closed her book and laid back against the tree that is strangely growing inside what appears to be a church along with vegetation of plants that seems to be making the place their new home. Vines and branches sprouting out of the cracks and holes of the stone walls and flowers blooming on them.

Letting her imagination take her away into her own little world as she looked up at the ceiling as the bird called its sweet melody.

“I gotta find out more about the stones.” She finally spoke her mind out loud as she turned to her side and then grabbed a fabric and then put it around her neck as her bracelet’s gem glowed softly.

Cloak covered her shoulders as it was short enough to reach over the shoulders but barely past over them as her aqua cyan and black spandex jumpsuit shines in the light as she stood up and then walked away from her favorite cherry blossom tree as its leaves and flowers are oddly glowing their own light before a breeze picked up and the flower pedals were taken away in the wind.

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

Et Auream - The Prologue: sneak peek

Warnings: child enslavement, child abuse, blood, death of a minor character, language, +18 minors dni!

Because he was not born with violence in his veins, and rage in his heart, Marcus Acacius refused to fight. And even after his new Dominus would beat him, and beat him, he refused to grasp a sword in his palm. This made him an easy target for the other boys to take their rage and frustrations out on. Runt, they would call him. Jabbering at him like squawking crows. Coward. Pathetic. Their insults would ricochet off his body as if he were wearing invisible armor. He remained quiet and reserved till one night he had been pushed to his limits.

“Do you think you’re better than the rest of us, Acacius? Is that why you choose to not fight?” One of the boys questioned him around the dying fire.

“No. I don’t think myself to be better than anyone.” Marcus quietly said under his breath and moved to stand up from where he was sitting, but a hand on his bad shoulder forced him back down.

“Then why don’t you fight, hm? The runt won’t even defend himself!” The boy cackled and his friends joined in.

“Please stop.” Marcus said through gritted teeth.

“I bet your whore of a mother was ashamed that her son turned out to be such a coward! That’s why she sold you off, right? She couldn’t bear to look you in the eyes any longer!” He laughed. “And who could blame her?”

“Don’t you dare speak of my mother as if you knew her!” Marcus roughly brushed the hand from his shoulder and stood up in a fury.

“Your mother was a whore and I bet she died as one too!” He jeered.

Marcus couldn’t remember the events that took place moments later. All he could recall was the sound of steel being unsheathed and seeing red behind his eyes. He was thirteen years of age when he killed for the first time. He plunged his sword so deeply into the boy's gut that it appeared through the other side, dripping in crimson.

(Unreality:) Hey, has anyone here ever played that co-op game In Stars and Prologue? I need some help. My partner recently got a bug in which they've been stuck on the third floor and neither of us know how to get rid of it. I also think this game wasn't really built well for co-op because the rest of the party seems to only be able to process one Siffrin at a time, even when it's really obvious there's two? Which? Is weird because it's a two player game, why didn't the developer bother to account for two Siffrins???
