"Divo no-" It's the only words she manages before she's pulling the younger voidling close with her tail. Naturally the whelp complains, chittering something at his sister as she scoops him up and places him on her shoulders. "I know, I know, just- Just gimme a sec."

She'd felt the call and clearly he had too. An intense ripple though a universal void that leaked into the multiversal one.

A call for for justice. A call for union. A call for ascension.

A call so full it could only belong to a god.

The elder voidling frowns at the shadows, giving her head a little shake as Divodas crawls into her mane space. That wasn't a call that could be ignored, like all the others of it's calibre. No... no something was off about this one; not unlike a cluster of scared whelps. Maybe that's what prompted the swift action of diving into the shadows and emerging in the shadowy tunnels of an underground kingdom.

She knew the story of worlds like this well; all following the similar lines of a jealous goddess of light, desperate to be remembered. A spread of an infection that brought a bug down to it's base instincts of walk and attack. A prideful king abusing the powers of creation, void and even time itself to combat her infection in a vain attempt to keep his kingdom immortal.

Each world tainted by a sickly, glowing orange.

But this...? What should be aglow was black as pitch. Further down reeked of two different kinds of void; one of null and one of regret and depression.

Something was wrong. Very, very wrong.

Even Divodas- who made his way out once he too sensed the sheer emotion seeping from below- seemed a little worried. Though it was also him to be the first to take off through the nearly-empty kingdom; prompting Noir to call and soon chase after him.

Eventually, she catches up, having gone through tunnels, streets and pipes alike to do so. Only to be met with her little brother staring as a huge room fulled with junk and trash-

And a fledgling God of the Void. United and given shaky Focus.

That's why things felt so familiar. It felt like her own ascensions when she became more than just a queen breed, at the hands of two very influential entities.

There's a chitter at Divodas to stay here, before the older being drops down, treading shadow like it was solid ground.

"Well, this is a surprise." A reverb comes to her own voice in order to get the Shade Lord's attention. "I was wondering who was making such a ruckus in this universe~ You kids doin' alright? You seem to be struggling just a bit." Not that she expected a verbal response. It was more just to get the white-eyed god to look down at her. Focus that attention on her, rather than the surrounding kingdom.

Divo's little costume for this year! He's a little prince!

[hopeful-hugz]

Divodas had unceremoniously fallen from his jumping point in an attempt to take off into the air, quickly hopping from his heap on the ground when the little human child squeaks. Naturally he squeaks in turn, also startling. Feathered wings fluff up, little tail wagging anxiously behind him, something that soon turns to excitement when he sees this is a child like he is!

"Chrrrrp! Divo is on adventuwe!!" A grin is easily cast up to Yui. Despite looking to be about eight years old, the little guy's voice matched someone who couldn't be more than five or six. Regardless, he looks to be having fun. "On adventuwe too?"

@hopeful-hugz / divodas = one-liner.

"eeep!" she squeaks, waving her flashlight for a moment. "you - you scared me! what... what're you doing out here alone..?"

[hopeful-hugz]

Saying it out loud really put it into perspective for the Lindwurm. The Chamyle she knew was gone... Divodas would soon be out on his own too, building his own life.

What came next after that?

A pair of little arms around her arm pulls her out of those worries, for now. Divodas gives a little trill, prompting the voidling queen breed to pick him up. She hadn't expected him back already...

"Heh, heya kiddo~ How was your morning adventure?"

[hopeful-hugz]

Divodas :: Extended Backstory Ramble

The young voidling himself! Divodas is an energetic and curious whelp with his whole life ahead of him. Though he hasn't been around long, the five years he has been here have been jam-packed with experiences.

His memories start with a chorus of roars and being launched out into a world of blackness. Then many, many eyes as one of his own kind finds him adrift in the void. A voidling who ascended to godhood and worried for the newborn whelp: Noir.

What followed was swapping between Noir's care and the care of a human for the first year of his life, before he remained with the former of the two. Divodas, now calling this god his big sister, started to travel with her; learning about himself and the world around him. Over time, he picked up a lot of what he'd need to take on the world and then some. Always under his sister's watch.

When he turned four was when he started running off on his own to explore, giving poor Noir heart attacks every time. Nonetheless, she let him explore and make friends, slowly giving him more and more freedom. Though he can tell, he and the god have had a talk about how voidlings grow up. He knows he's allowed to explore and discover now, wherever and whenever he wants, and if he needed her, she'd be his safety net.

Divo was excited for the times ahead, eager to get out there. Eager to find where he'll eventually call home!

Aethers and Voidlings

And a Muse Sneak Peak under the cut c:

Ladies, Gentlemen and Nonbinary Friends! I Present To You: Your Beloved Host! Please Be Patient As The Show Begins!

[hopeful-hugz]

Bingo. All it took was the godlike mass being looked at to hone in on the core. The Little Ghost at it's centre; where all the others connected like strands of a web being torn apart in the wind. "Got you."

Through the core, she can induce the calm. Intake all the extra panic into herself and give a sense of clarity. Give the children what is essentially training wheels. The void may be spreading, but the shadows bent to her will.

She was a QUEEN. Shade and sight were at her fingertips

It lightly coils around the godling, the elder's own following. Darkness gives way to the body of a massive Lindwurm, thousands of eyes across its body all focused on the cluster of manic souls.

"𐌁𐌓𐌄𐌀𐌕𐋅𐌄. 𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌌Ꝋ𐌓𐌄 𐌙Ꝋ𐌵 𐌐𐌀𐌍𐌉𐌂 𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌌Ꝋ𐌓𐌄 𐌂Ꝋ𐌍𐌕𐌓Ꝋ𐌋 𐌙Ꝋ𐌵 𐌋Ꝋ𐌔𐌄."

Noir wasn't the only one who had sprung into action. Divodas has seen the darkness becoming more intense, having left his spot ages ago. Taking to his dragonborn-esque form, he's adopted a quadrupedal form; slinking through the tunnels of the kingdom, using everything in his assets to get to a point where he can cut off the spread.

Claws plant themselves in the dirt and stone, growling lowly... And letting loose a commanding ROAR. If there was one thing he knew, it was that voidlings were made from the multiversal void, having influence over it. But this? This wasn't just the void; no this was emotion in its rawest form. The kingdom's pain and regret. The sheer depression it had all mixed into.

The whelp was its sheer opposite: Joy, hope... love.

He could use both. Drive back the dark with a grounding and comforting light; consume the pain and use it to keep him going.

"𐌙𐌉𐌄Ꮤ𐌃."

He was called here. He wasn't letting these ruins fall when they held so much potential. When the Void Given Focus still held so much more potential.

"Listen to your core; work with them so they can save you all. Let me handle all your fear and confusion; I will not leave you. Your goal is to unify around the core. Once we do that, we can take you somewhere more comfortable. Somewhere control and stability will be easier."

For all her focus, she still takes advantage of the dark to find a more suitable place to move the children. Where was that damn birthplace located?

Ghost could do little but watch as their combined body acted of its own accord, attacking relentlessly and ignoring all commands they gave. They strained and tried their best to stop it, but there were simply too many minds, too many wills who refused to listen, and Ghost's own stress and panic only served to make matters worse. The surge of power they gained from their joint ascension was too strong, too overwhelming, and needed to be expelled.

Yet, throughout all this, as the stranger—who, fortunately for her, was proving to be quite formidable—defended against the neverending onslaught of swipes and Void tendrils, she… Claimed she could help them?

...

What other choice did they have?

All their own attempts at resolving this disaster had resulted in complete failure. Even as their body fought against the stranger now, other offshoots of the Void encroached further into Hallownest, like a second coming of the Infection. The entirety of the Waterways had surely fallen victim already, no doubt much of the Capital along with it. It couldn't go any further. They needed to stop this. But how, when their words could not even reach the Nothingness?

This stranger... She spoke with an odd sense of... Familiarity, about their situation. Did she truly know of a way to assist them? Could they trust her?

There was no other option. They needed to try.

« WATCH STRANGER »

The command rang out across the beings that made up the Entity. Though concealed by the opaque shadows that composed It, a light shone from within as Void Heart enforced the Shade Lord's will.

And slowly (though the attacks did not cease) the beast's gaze turned to focus on the other. Eight gleaming white eyes met pink.

...For a brief moment, they felt... Calmer? Their siblings, too, seemed more subdued?

Was this what the stranger wanted?

However, while Ghost expended much of their energy forcing the head of their body to do as the other asked, their focus waned in other aspects. In the corner of their mind, they felt the far reaches of the Void spread further, faster, its range no longer limited by its master's control (however slight that may have been).

No, no, NO! This wasn't meant to happen!

The beast roared, breaking the staredown as one of Its arms shot out in an attempt to snatch the stranger out of the air. Any further words toward It fell on deaf ears, calls absorbed by the darkness and lost before they could reach the minds within. As Ghost scrambled to stop the advances of the distant masses of Void, the Entity spiralled even further out of control than It had been before. The Void sea writhed and bubbled as It lashed out at Its surroundings with reckless abandon, desperate to unleash the power that It was struggling to contain.

The Entity's form appeared to be growing more... Unstable, now, too, especially now that Ghost was preoccupied with trying to force the other parts of the Void under their control and paid little attention to the events in the Junk Pit. However, that only served to make It and the Void around It more dangerous and unpredictable.

It didn't matter. They had to stop the Void from climbing further into Hallownest. The stranger's wants were less important. They couldn't let their power harm their friends. Nothing else mattered. Stop the Void's progression. Stay away from Dirtmouth. Stop the Void's progression why wasn't it stopping it was supposed to listen to them they were telling it to stop stop stop stop-

@letmeexplaineverything || Morastrum

Travelling was always a blast for Divodas. Seeing all the new sights and making new friends! Not to mention getting to basically play hide-and-seek with his big sister!

Well, most of the time when it came to her sister. On this occasion in particular, he'd been given permission to go exploring on his own. That means zipping about from world to world until his power exhausted itself; and exhaust itself it did! Right in the middle of the air, at that.

Of course, the little whelp tries to fly, only really succeeding in flailing wings and plummeting to the ground. There's a moment to look down at the approaching ground and nearby individual. When he lands it's in a spray of crimson-coloured feathers and in a right heap.

There's a dazed whine as the Divodas untangles himself and shakes his head. Then remembers that he'd almost fallen on someone- Someone who seemed to be a kid like him; albeit a very different kid from him.

"Ah! Awe you okay? Divo didn't hit when feww???" A worried trill is given. "Am so sowwy-"

[hopeful-hugz]

“Up-up! Up-Up!” Red, feathered wings flap from the tall perch he’s climbed onto,  crouched down and fully intending to jump. Maybe this time he’ll be able to get up off the ground and be able to go into the sky like Noir could!

All Divodas had to do was count down! Three... Two...

Your Muse as a Dragon

[hopeful-hugz]

Seeing Morastrum make a little teleport gets a small gasp from Divodas, the little void whelp clearly impressed with her kind of teleportation. There's nodding along and small smiles as she listens to what his new friend has to say. Then he gives a trill of agreement, giving his good wing a little flap. "Mowa good at tewepowt! Vewy diffewent than Divo's!"

As if to emphasize how different it was, he gives a small dog-like shake to let the little red and purple sparks fly off his hair, wings and tail. Electrical sparks. "Have speciaw ewement; am ewectwic! Mowa's... wook wike magic! Use magic?"

A small hum follows. "Fwying diffewent fow Mowa too, then? Can see?"

“Oh. Okay.” That made about as much sense as it seemed like it was going to, so she bother to didn’t continue her line of questioning. “It’s nice to meet you, Divo.”

Morastrum starts to bob up and down in the air as she listens to his story. “Teleporting’s tricky,” she says, trying to sound thoughtful, “it took dad a long time to teach me how to do it...” As if to prove she isn’t lying, she warps herself about ten centimeters to the right.

“Flying’s pretty easy though,” she continues without skipping a beat. “But I don’t have wings, so I guess it’s different.” She fiddles with the star button on her scarf. “Lotta different ways for things to fly...”

🏡 @darlingshome​ liked the Special Starter Call 🖤💜💖👁‍🗨

“Divodas, Melody, don’t go too far!”

The two giggling children only give half acknowledgement to Chamyle calling out as they goofed off not far ahead of her and the small lindwurm curled up on her shoulders. The void dragon sighs, some of the eyes on it’s body blinking for a moment before ones of pink and red open on it’s face and watch the two kids. “You sure it was a good idea to let Divo do the teleporting this time around? I can’t sense where the hell we are other than that it’s around where the multiversal void recedes.”

“Only time will tell if it’s a good idea. With how vibrant this world is, however...” A small hum is given. “If need be, we can always retreat to the Archives.”

Another call out is given to the two kids, the preteen of the two running back to her mother and the voidling queen. Divo on the other hand, decided to keep running ahead, more than content to play for now and even more content to explore.

Especially when he spots someone else in the distance.

Naturally the whelp is making a slow approach at first. The new someone was brightly colored, not like his big sister and him. Not pastels like his auntie and robotic cousin. It was definitely enough to catch the eye of a small child like himself, that was for sure. Before Divodas knows it, he’s at the someone’s side and giving a curious, questioning trill. Who was this? Were they a friend? What were they doing?

So, so many questions in one little noise.

Magic, Mystery!

[hopeful-hugz]

Hope appears in her apartment, putting the sealed world core in her pocket. Immediately after she’s swarmed into a big group hug by Teal, Chamyle, Noir and Fir, who had stayed behind to keep an eye on the apartment and Divodas as a favor. (The Baby in question had slept through the whole event.)

“There you are- It’s really you, right?” “Are you alright? You’re covered in blood, dear...” “Good to have you back, you little menace! Gave us all a good scare.” “Aunt Hope! You’re home!!!”

“Easy guys, we may have won but she still got a few good hits in.” Despite saying this, the little aether wraps her friends in her wings and hugs them close, purring softly. “I’m mostly fine... a little disoriented, but fine.”

As everyone lets go and she says this, however, Hope stumbles and almost collapses. Thankfully Chamyle’s there to catch and hold her. “I got you, Raymond.”

A glance at Noir, Teal and Fir. “Why don’t you all get some rest. I’ll get her cleaned up and settled. We’ll celebrate properly once she’s recovered.”

To this the group agrees, everyone dispersing for the time being.

“Hmm...”

“Something up Cammy?”

“You’ve shifted to your wings, correct.” A glance behind her. “So why is there the beginnings of a tail starting to come in as well?”

“Tail!?” A glance behind her, Hope not able to see it, but certainly able to feel it now that she’s aware it exists. “I dunno... Maybe that extra boost from what’s left of Maria triggered more growth in my aether half?”

“I suppose that’s an option. For now, let’s get you cleaned up and fed. I don’t think Maria took care of your body while she was in possession of it...”
