Book 6: Chapter 1
A Rooftop Somewhere on Earth
And were live, Jason Todd hears in his invisible earpiece.
Hello everyone! Were Arcadia News here with another update about the Void Invasion! Jason quickly gets into it as he stands at the edge of the rooftop looking out over the roof at the remnants of a Fracture. One that is still filled with the corpses of dozens of voidlings all being picked up and carried to various trucks for transporting. If youre not up to date, well start with a recap of the last time. Over the course of the last month, ever since the day the second set of competitions ended for the Fae Ascension Tournament, new Corrupted Fractures have begun appearing all over the entire universe. On Earth, on Tartarus, and even on other worlds outside of our scope according to the fae. And out of these Corrupted Fractures have come the void creatures, all leaking over from the void. How this is happening, no one knows. Not even the Former Queen of the Fae herself, assuming shes telling us the truth. But it has broken the short peace we had finally obtained after Her Highness, the Warden of the Red Plague, made peace between the humans and the demons.
Jason pauses as he sees the trucks loaded with voidling and some void drone corpses beginning to drive away. Then he continues, We had just begun growing used to the peaceful life, learning to share the Fracture cores with the demons every time the Fractures would occur. And now tumultuous times have returned. But not just for us this time, but for the entire universe.
Onto our news today, Jason says while turning around to face the camera. We have just received news from all over the planet that the Warden of the Red Plague, dubbed Wolf of the Blood Moon by the former Fae Queen, has increased her activity to shatter the Fracture cores in all of the continents surrounding the midwestern continent. Instead of just focusing on our own continent like she had been doing. Furthermore, weve received news from the Fae King that the twenty-second competition of the fae has been completed. If you will look to the sky, you will find the current point score for the entire tournament.
On another note, a world-wide holiday has been created on the Wardens birthday to celebrate her and everything she has done for us, Jason continues, a smile covering his face at this. Shes been working almost nonstop every day to make sure as little casualties occur as possible during these times, using her immense power to keep the void invasion at bay. His smile turns wry. Winning over quite a few of those who were initially nervous about a person having as much power as she has in the process.

Jasons interrupted when another Fracture starts, startling him, the film crew, and the workers down below. All of whom werent expecting one so soon after the last one.
And some of the Fracture cores are even being shattered by demons that had finally begun moving to Earth from Tartarus and vice versa.
Well leave it off here for the night, but do remember folks, Jason continues with a grin on his face. The Warden is always with us. So stay tuned for more news, whether its for the invasion or the tournament. Because Arcadia News has it all!
Jason gives a slight motion with his hand, making the camera man instantly cut the feed from the camera.
Then Jason collapses onto the ground, feeling both mentally and physically exhausted, along with a little terrified.
And who wouldnt be after a Fracture core appears right in front of them?
If it werent for the Wardens help, hed be void creature food by now.
Thank you, Jason whispers into the night, knowing that the Wolf of the Blood Moons hearing must be good enough to hear if she cares enough.
But even if she doesnt, he still feels he needs to say it.
