Book 6: Chapter 50
Somewhere Within the Universe
Titania stares out at the rift that is gradually opening up due to the Voided Overlord. And she feels nothing but anxiety the longer she looks at it. Because ever since Scarlet went to sleep in order to recover, the rift has been opening faster and faster.
At this point it’s opened enough to let the Voided Overlord begin stretching its arm through the rift. And if it keeps this up, it may very well be able to fit enough of its body through that it could change its form through the reality energy its devouring.
“You’ve done everything you can, Mother,” Oberon says, appearing right next to her in his dragon form. “There’s nothing left you can do but wait and see what happens.”
Titania nods her head, perfectly understanding that. No matter how much she wishes it weren’t true.
Because at this point, everything is in the hands of the girl she pretty much created herself. The Goddess of Blood, and Wolf of the Blood Moon.
“I’m going to tell her everything I know about the Voided Overlord after she wakes up,” Titania says without taking her gaze away from the Voided Overlord, or the void creatures that are starting to flood through the gaps between the Voided Overlord’s arms and the rift. “She needs to know everything now. There isn’t much time left.”
Titania sees Oberon nodding his head without a word in the corner of her vision.
Silence fills the area with the only noise being that of the screeching void creatures that are so loud that Titania can somehow hear them even in space. Then she senses another presence appearing next to them, making her glance behind herself to find her grandson appearing.
“What do you know about the Voided Overlord that we don’t, Grandmother?” Tar asks, sounding rather upset at the idea that Titania may be hiding stuff from them still. “Please tell me. I don’t care about the prophecy anymore.”
Silence fills the area with the only noise being that of the screeching void creatures.
None of the fae royals say anything for several minutes as they all turn to look at the Voided Overlord.
“The Voided Overlord has become a special creature, just like the Wolf of the Blood Moon,” Titania begins explaining, filling the silence. “It devours all, taking their power and abilities for its own use. But it also has more than one form that it can take. Including a more humanoid form that is far smaller. So after it devours enough of the universe’s reality energy, it will be able to take that form and fit itself through the rift. Without opening it large enough for its main body to fit through.”
The silence returns after she finishes speaking. Leaving the three fae royals to stare at the Voided Overlord without a word. Meanwhile the Voided Overlord itself continues making slow progress at opening up the rift while absorbing part of the universe’s reality in the process.
Titania looks away from the Voided Overlord to focus on the rest of the universe, none of which is doing very well without the help of the Wolf of the Blood Moon. Then she looks at the Wolf of the Blood Moon herself, finding her sleeping in her enormous wolf form while curled up in a ball and floating in space. Meanwhile droplets of glowing red blood surround her, floating around in circles as if protecting her.
She watches a few void creatures approach the sleeping wolf, only for them all to be devoured by the droplets of blood in seconds the moment they touch them. But no matter how long Titania watches, the wolf herself doesn’t show any signs of waking up.
So Titania returns her gaze towards the Voided Overlord with a grimace on her face.
Finding the Voided Overlord to be trying to squeeze itself further into the rift as its eye blinks a couple times. Showing more activity than it had before.
Her eyes narrow a little.
Please, Wolf of the Blood Moon, wake up soon...
