Time Lapse

Prologue ~ Memento Vivere ~

Remember to live. Only a few found the messages left by the Star-Giver. His last tiding would serve as a prophecy for those after him. The ultimate message would be his greatest gift, hiding in the infinitesimal abyss of creation. The Star-Giver's messages possessed an enigmatic power that would bend reality to the will of its discoverer.

Star-Giver knew dire times were soon, especially with his death on the horizon. This souvenir was most important for aimless and chaotic souls, either born without or lost to purpose.

The last of Star-Giver's spirits went within to plague life once they found his last hope. An offering was demanded to deliver the final message to the creations of the Lower Plane. Another elder was offered as a sacrifice. When the offering was chosen 'without method,' it sparked a riot. No previous rebellion was as memorable as the "Earthquake of the Higher Plane."

The Golden City's perfect unity shook for the first time. Some argued the importance of creation below them, while others shared their "better them than me" mentality-convictions diversified over Star-Giver's choice. Meanwhile, the Golden City's history would change forever.

Chosen was none other than the Aurous Spine-The backbone of the Golden City's strength. Aurous was unhappy with Star-Giver's approach and believed it would leave the capital defenseless. A sinister plot was under suspicion by Aurous that Star-Giver was working with someone or something to leave the city and its people defenseless.

Aurous rebelled against Star-Giver, who betrayed him and proceeded with the sacrifice against his hand. In Aurous's last moments, there was a spark; he made his final decision. Aurous placed his greatest wishes for the strength to protect and love those close. With the entire essence of his soul placed into his offering, Aurous found hope as he plummeted across the threshold into the Lower Plane.

Star-Giver and Aurous's message plummeted in the crash to the Lower Plane.

Into the abyss, these two messages descended, waiting to be unearthed. These messages would end up pillars beckoning toward the better men and women of tomorrow.

Hello, this is Expobaguette or Nora (pesudoname). I've had a lot of pseudo-names online and been around lots of communities. This time I'm trying writing. I used to do a lot on social media but got tired of it a few years ago and dedicated my time to other stuff. Enough about me.

Critiscism is highly welcomed and embraced. Be as brutal as you'd like. As long as it makes sense haha.
