Child runaway from a Valtarian Monarch in Shadow, Mirador is the illegitimate daughter of Despoiler Hildebrand, the Bringer of Dark Despair. At twelve she escaped Gravin's Fury, a dirty child disappearing into the darkness. Tough and adaptable, she made her way to the vast ever-moving grasslands at the edge of the Verdant Waste and was taken in by a group of nomadic Walkers. There, as a teenager she found a sabre-toothed cat cub, orphaned by its mother's carcass. He has become her companion, they live, fight and move as one. Outsiders call Rem her familiar, but there is no magic in it. Fiercely independent and passionate, she is determined to never to be caged as she was in Valtaria.

''That is all I know of my past, all I remember of my awakening. The final readout of an all-but-shattered monitor, glowing blue in the darkness, the message reflected and repeated in the scattered pools of dark liquid that congealed about my outstretched forearm. My amnesia is total, the hints I picked up as I dragged myself to the surface no more than scattered embers that serve to cast more shadows than light. In time my exploration of the facility revealed the aftermath of an asymmetric affront; the facility&#39;s workforce dismembered with lethal precision, their remains painting the sterile white walls in washes of vibrant crimson, their histories and identities as much of a mystery as my own. I know nothing of whether I was victim or perpetrator of this atrocity; a subject of its grand experiment or the orchestrating mind behind it. The uncertainty drives me and to this day, as I navigate the Firebreak, one question burns at the heart of every moment: “What was Ascension?” To discover and to become, to embody and to enact, as if for the first time, I set the wheels of creation in motion, walking ever forward and never looking back.''

“He really didn’t know?”

“No. But, you didn’t tell him either.”

“True. I suppose it was probably best we didn’t include him, he has some odd ideas about the Sublime Concord. What did he say when he found out?”

“He just looked disappointed in me and mumbled about it delaying his work. He’s packing for Valtaria now. Apparently he can find what he needs there.”

"No. Your request is denied. In fact, I forbid it."

"But-"

"I will not throw more good Initiates after bad. You are to stay away from An Endless Falling and from anywhere she has been these last few years. That should keep you away from him as well. Perhaps when she kills him and returns to my tutelage you may be the first archivist to speak to her. If you prove yourself capable until then."

- Transcript of Archivist My Light Glows Dimly's first request to Master Acceptance of Fate, seeking permission to record the ongoing feud between two members of the Order.

“History is written by the victors. In the absence of victors, simply lie.”

- An extract from the lecture ‘The Ethics of History’ by Archivist By my Crooked Teeth

“See that man that rattles, with metal bones on his hip and grey across his back? That be By My Crooked Teeth. A wise man from far away. Always he sits and watches and listens. He helps now and then. But always he watches and scribbles his tales. I know not what he is after but be wary if he pays you a care. I do not trust a man who smiles falsely and speaks with pretty words. Be wary.”

- Vine, Sage of the Walkers (transcribed in the journal of By My Crooked Teeth.)

Don’t mistake me for whatever you’ve mistaken me for. There are so many roles - so many masks- in this dance and I’ve worn them all. The difference is, I’m not afraid to tear them off…

There was a voice in my heart that told me to tear down the system I was tired of playing, and then another voice that called me away and promised me a better future for everyone. Turns out, both voices were mine, and I had the right idea the first time. So I kicked it over again and a lot of people got hurt and I’m not proud of that bit; but look…

It took me bloody ages to work this out and I’m trying to save you the time I wasted. If you want your opportunity or your freedom or your family then you grab whatever matters at your core, break yourself open until you bleed, and you prove it. Because nothing matters until it’s been torn out of your hands, broken, remade and won back. And that, mate, is the purpose of existence. It’s that simple.

Now that’s clear, did you want help with something?

There is no grey. There are only particles of black and white. Grey is imprecise, an approximation. Sometimes approximation is the most accurate representation.

There are no colours. Colour is illusion, temporary distortion of a spectrum which sums to black and to white. Colours are nonsense, and also very pretty.

Pretty is not for us. We are beyond joy. Even we – especially we – have not the conceptual tools to fathom our burden. We are beyond mourning. We may as well laugh. We laugh as we stab you. We are too polite to laugh aloud. We only slice to improve, to enlighten. We are the light beyond the morning.

All will is free. Every discovery is remembering. Memory matters and matter is metaphor. It is better to forget. Forgetting is an indulgence for the weak.

We were too weak. We still are. Yet our strength defines our ongoing guilt. We have no right to interfere. We have no right not to try.

Since I have been tasked with recording history, what better place to begin than with my own?

I was born and raised in the Valtarian Kingdoms, the middle of five scions and the “runt of the litter” as they put it. I was therefore the one most often used to face the forefront of whatever unpleasantness had hit our kingdom this time - yet I never suffered any injury. People eventually discovered that I had the gift, and tried to persuade me to join their ranks. After the way they had treated me? I think not!

I may have been cast out as a Pawn in the Kingdoms, but the Sublime Concord were very interested in my talents. That was, of course, before things went so horribly wrong. I heard of plans to sabotage the exodus, and agreed to help with a counter-offensive. Regretfully, we failed to stop the resulting disaster. Now we have re-banded with a simple goal - to rectify our mistakes. Perhaps the pen will prove mightier than the sword.

"Those who have the misfortune to survive cataclysm are doomed to see the seeds of downfall within the dawn of the new age. The ever toppling tower of destiny shaped by the hubris of visionaries and the foibles of the protagonists of fate.

Such must be chronicled for future ages, and yet nothing can be observed without change."

THROUGHPUT: "Why?"

HOODED CHALLENGER: "What gives you the right to rule?"

ALTHALUS THE GOLDEN: "You ask that; you, who stand in nameless anonymity? You, whose words are naught but words? I speak, and legions march. I speak, and the world shapes itself to my will! I speak, and my enemies' blades fall as they clasp their hands in abject-"

Glimmers of Logic was a promising member of Protean Dynamics’ Relations division, that is, until the Incident. Having taken a commission to oversee the restructuring of a set of rival Shaping concerns, the laboratory he was assigned to suffered a catastrophic geomantic collapse while he was commencing networking protocols.

Some claim that his later emergence as a Penitent Adjutant are proof that this collapse was nothing more than an aggressive hostile personnel reassignment attack, that it was a premeditated extraction. Whatever the truth, he and his business partner, [name redacted – you have insufficient KarmaCredit!

Zoom, whirr. The surveillance package used by the undercover Opportunity constable is substandard, but then the cultic activities of the subject - ‘If-Only-You-Would’, née Aghavni Smith, former kaf-grade serf-intern - don’t merit the good stuff. Yet.

‘- who among us, then, is righteous? Who just?’

Zie’s pacing the line of shivering congregants, half drill-sergeant, half confessor.

‘I’ve seen the new world that’s building, and I tell you - it sure ain’t just. Sure ain’t righteous. It’s evil fruit from an evil tree. It’s like taffy, like gum on the sole of the boot on your necks, and if we’re not careful, it’ll be trodden into the next world.’

‘But I tell you this: we can keep the new world we birth - and our children-in-spirit who’ll thrive there - pure. We can keep them immaculate. By holy iconoclasm, by spiritual and material sabotage, by extirpation and self-emptying of who we were - we can keep the contamination out. Maybe this world’s doomed - but by our sacrifices, we each can save the next. Even you; even you;’

Zie stares down each congregant in turn. And then, slowly, deliberately, zie turns, looks straight into the camera.

‘Even you.’

He was always one of the brightest Blue Wardens we had , always willing to guard and teach, so none of us were really surprised when he was chosen by the Concord. He didn't want to leave, but we encouraged him to take the opportunity. Things like that don't come along every day.

What surprised us was when he came back. He was changed, broken. All of his energy and joy for life was gone, replaced by a forced, deathly calm, trying to hide a quiet, simmering anger. Everyone noticed it, but he didn't talk about it, so we didn't ask.

He didn't stay with us for long. I think he just wanted some people he knew to be around for a while.

One day, we woke up and he was gone again.

But, if you know where to look, you can see the little signs of him still being around. Nothing certain, just the little mentions. Listen to the stories about unlikely survival, about strange coincidences.

He may walk his own path now, but I am sure he is near. Deep inside, he is still a Walker.

Notes: Shaper, Non-Client, No Contracts

Audit History:

X12-2Y-3F - Identified as target of opportunity during scouting pass on Walker camps encroaching on protected site.

X30-2Y-3F - Target passes too close to protected site during apparently random wandering, engaged by security team. Revealed as Shaper, eliminates four non-Shaper operatives, proceeds to destroy site. Upgraded to threat level Beta.

E24-6H-2J - Target encountered during operation in Valtarian territory, equipped with stolen Valtarian equipment. Eliminates two Shaper operatives and escapes. Upgraded to threat level Gamma.

Personal File Note, Vice-President Bright Fox, GG12-4R-3X: Why do we have some Walker idiot at threat level Gamma? Because he got lucky or someone screwed up? Bump him down to Beta again, save Gamma for the real threats, and have someone shoot him the next time he pops his head out of his little treehouse.

File Addendum, GH12-4-3X, Acting Vice-President Cold Tempest: Vice-President Bright Fox was found in his office last night with his throat slit, and a printout of this document stapled to his forehead. I’m raising the target’s threat level to Delta and adding a No Contracts classifier.

I’ve heard it said – though I can’t confirm it myself, as I’ve only been inducted twenty years – that their feud began over the fate of a single Monarch-Victor. Perhaps it would have been one of the earliest indications of the Oracle’s conflicting orders, had they bothered to report it. Anyway, even in light of the Betrayal, they’ve stuck fast to their respective philosophies. Soar’s being pathological.

On that note, I ran into Soar last week. I found him tracking Fall northward with frankly unsettling singlemindedness. He informed me that she was probably bleeding out, from wounds he’d inflicted. Of course, he wasn’t happy about that - said he had to watch her die. I wished him good luck (you know I always have to fill the awkward silences!), and he moved on quickly. Today, rather alarmingly, I received news that the two have been spotted together, preparing to travel to the Outworld. Both very cheerful, apparently.

The mind boggles.

“Barely. And I’ve no idea how – most of the crew are dead, and the ship’s so much junk at this point. I don’t think there was much holding it together bar sheer stubbornness by the time they got back.”

“How long will it take to repair? We’ll need them back out there-- ”

“Honest answer? It’s past fixing. Best thing to do would be to break it down for parts and reassign what’s left of the crew elsewhere. Not that you’d know it to listen to the engineer I spoke to.”

“Who was that? Let me see those files…”

There’s a pause, and a shuffling of paper.

“Engineer Cam, was it? No, you wouldn’t get an admission of defeat from him; he’d have it up in the air held together with rubber bands and fuse wire if you left him to it. You’re probably right that it’s not worth it, though. Where were you thinking of sending them?”

As I turned to watch the fight below, I caught sight of an enemy falling to their knees in front of her crew, blood running from the hole in their head. They hit the ground just short of landing their first blow. As I turned back to congratulate Fusilier Falconet on her fine training, a call came out from the front of the fight;

'While everyone can look up to the Liberators with awe and admiration, sometimes it's easy to forget the impact that even a humble volunteer can have. An entire base destroyed - tell me, what were you thinking?'

The volunteer starts, glancing up at the engineer and over at the camera. Her mouth moves silently for a couple of seconds before any sound comes out:

'I wasn't thinking anything. I just... did what I had to.'

She glances off to the side camera zooms back out again, showing a panorama of the battlefield as the engineer's voice extorts the virtues of the volunteer programme.

This is a declaration of independence.

The so-called People's Combine is a parasitic drain on the fabric of the world, depriving and denying individuals from achieving their full potential. These looters and moochers have benefited from individuals' hard labor long enough! They provide no honest pay for honest work and I reject this, withdrawing my labor. I invite any pioneering, self-reliant folk to follow me to the new world.

The People's Combine works entirely on propaganda and while they claim to be egalitarian, there are inevitably those who rise to the top – but not based on their talents or industrial merit but on how closely they parrot the lies they have been fed their entire lives.

How can a society be egalitarian when we have individuals who can literally shape the world walk among the rest?

Their world is based on falsehoods and I am here to ensure that this new world is founded as a refuge to ensure individuals are able to follow their true potential and earn their way in the world on their own merits.

Our honour and glory must be paramount in your mind, even as – especially as – you seek to be kind and gracious to your loyal subjects. Do not forget this, Mariana. Do not ever forget this.

“Please, come in. May I offer you a glass of burgundy? It was gifted to me by Antoinette of the Fens; I assure you the taste is exquisite.

“I see you were admiring the portrait in the hallway. His Excellency Dorimant the Dissolute took an idiosyncratic approach to interior design; there is nary a room in this entire house that does not bear his image. Artistic appreciation came as easily to him as slaughter and spite.

“I have been told the resemblance is striking.”

Scion of one of the most notorious Monarch-in-Shadows ever to grace the Valtarian Kingdoms with his malice, Her Extravagance Pandora the Libertine launched her campaign of terror no sooner than he was vanquished. Evil, she claims, is the greatest mode of artistic expression. If it is murder, torture and devastation she craves, then this is only by way of seeking out new sensation.

“When will we awake from this dream? When will our people no longer be pawns in this pathetic game? When will this meaningless pageantry end? The answer is clear - only when the true evil at the heart of this land, our own toxic arrogance, is defeated can a new glorious Valtaria be reborn...


"SO! Those afar, listen to my words! Those nearby look upon my visage! Know I, Ronan – Guardian of the Valtarian ideals of old, will return us to our former glory! In sword and in spirit – this is what I stand for! Are you with me?”

– A transcript of a speech by Ronan to the people of Valtaria.

"Ronan came to prominence upon defeating not only the infamous Monarch-in-Shadow, Razgorax the Unchained, but also the Monarch-Victor, Artemis, Bow of the Stars who arrived in pursuit of her arch-nemesis moments later – both in single combat. Since then, every Monarch who has pursued Ronan has been defeated, their honour tarnished and reputation destroyed.

"There is no doubt about it, they must have the Shaper’s gift. There is no other explanation, though what this means for Valtaria’s future, remains unknown...”

“You just can’t get the staff nowadays…”

Her Exalted Beneficence Serennia the Illustrious Conqueror of Drakenhold was a Monarch-Victor eager to ensnare the affections of the brightest and boldest up-and-coming new hero in court. Malefactor-Marshal Gedremonde, the Lightscourge dutifully answered the call, assuming the mantle of villainy and presenting an opportunity for valour that would prove quite irresistible. Forging a Dread Kingdom of Eternal Night and sending legions of eyeless bestial minions to terrorise and enslave the populace, Gedremonde awaited the dramatic arrival of her bright-eyed heroic foe atop a forbidding yet eminently infiltratable obsidian citadel filled with devious traps and monstrous creatures. A mighty duel in the Citadel of Eternal Night’s command eyrie saw the young champion, named Ephraste the Undiminished, poised to collapse exhaustedly into her nemesis’ waiting arms – when an overeager minion promptly struck her down and killed her. An enraged and profoundly disappointed Gedremonde proceeded to pour all her pent-up frustration into redoubling her efforts at bringing tyranny and ruin to the Kingdom of Eternal Night, levying a new army of twisted darkling horrors and hoping for the arrival of a new, stronger and more resilient nemesis with greater situational awareness..

“We are stardust, and that makes us kin of the stars above. When I call, they WILL answer.”

When young Telador saw his home burn at the hands of an unknown Monarch in Shadow he did not give into despair. Alone and wounded, his hand severed in an act of callous cruelty, he staggered into an ancient ruin, and in so doing found his destiny. Through harnessing long-forgotten magics he called down the might of the sun to stand with him, taming its fire with his desire for vengeance. The Monarch in Shadow dared not face Telador’s wrath, fleeing into the rift as the Lance of the Stars burned down upon their domain. By his silver hand Telador weaves the power of the heavens into his deeds and weapons, seeking to write his story and arise as Monarch-Victor.

Dearest Mother,

I am writing you this letter as I know how forgetful you can be when trying to keep track of all seven of your children. As I have mentioned previous, I have been chosen to Ascend to position of Monarch-Errant, and thus I have left the village, to seek what the future may bring.

Fear not, I will not be alone, for I travel with Bethany (you must surely at least remember her), as we seek triumph over the Monarchs-­in­Shadow that continue to plague our lands. I intend to return to the village, victorious, and will no doubt indulge you all in the tales of my adventures, but for now this letter will have to suffice.

“I am the whetstone against which the blades of heroism are sharpened; the darkness that allows Virtue’s light to shine. Without me, what are you?”

Carrion-Queen Vermilion the Unrepentant rose from amongst the honour-guard of the Tyrant-Sorceror Carmine, Lord of Blood and Flame, to become his apprentice, adopted heir, and sometimes lover. As with her mentor before her, she has remained a near-constant thorn in the side of Valtaria’s heroes and scourge upon their people ever since.

Known for her dark sorcery, the Carrion-Queen is also renowned for her history of tumultuous relationships with friend and foe alike. She is noted as being at least as possessive of her enemies as of her lovers (even when the two are not the same), and earned her title by raising an undead army from the fallen forces of a treasured opponent (who fell in a border skirmish with the People’s Combine), which she then led to avenge him and complete his conquest.

A master of prophecy and a mentor to heroes, Yaztromo has a long history of being there when Valteria’s new heroes need him most and pushing them to the actions truly worthy of a legend.

In recent years, his whereabouts have been unknown, no doubt his great mind deep in study as he traced the great Net of Fate to see where he must next act. But rejoice! For Archmage of the Seven Winds has returned! With his wise counsel the Lance of Stars is sure to succeed in his noble quest for Justice!

Dear Director,

I regret to inform you, that owing to some… unforeseen abnormalities, the new Relations operative designated "Thoughtful Spider" will not be suitable for purpose.

Happily, we feel the operative will be much better placed as part of the contingency team, given his outgoing personality, willingness to learn on the job and the recent, brutal death of the Personnel operative assigned to prepare him for service.

Furthermore, it is my recommendation that he be assigned to bodyguard positions, especially to operatives who work far, far away from the preparation centre.

"A figure came striding out of the wastes, wind whipping at their back, and left no footprints behind them. Their smile was wide, but their tongue was still. After the Wing, came the storm. Some will tell you that they brought the storm with strange powers, or that they were the living avatar of the storm; these are foolish children's stories. But it is true that they lived alongside the storm - sundering our homes, and also our shackles.

"As quickly as they had arrived they passed through, on a journey without end. All was quiet. We were destroyed. Yet it was this destruction which was the greatest gift, for from the ruins grew new life. Stone cannot be reborn, and will always fall to the root."

Like all Scions, Kaldaria was cast into the Kingdoms to forge her own destiny. She gained it by issuing an outright challenge to the Monarch-in-Shadow known as Despoiler Hildebrand, the Bringer of Dark Despair. In order to defeat him, Kaldaria spent many years training with military forces, gaining skills in command and tactics. Only when she was ready, did she launch a mighty assault on his home of Gravin’s Fury, leading thousands of troops into battle. Hundreds died, but she was ultimately victorious. She stormed the grand throne room, and allegedly slew Hildebrand in bloody battle (although some reports state that he may have sidled away and cast off his mantle of evil).

Kaldoria claimed Gravin’s Fury for herself along with the title of Monarch-Victor, and has ruled over the region for countless years. Some now say that the dark legacy of the place may be affecting the great hero though – could she be turning to shadow herself?

For now, Kaldoria is adamant that she remains a great hero, the Vanquisher of Dark Despair and a Monarch-Victor. But thoughts of darkness prey on her consciousness… how long before she decides to become the enemy for a new hero to defeat?

Shield does not break,
He does not bend

The battle fierce,
The night grew long,
Our lord the Victor,
The dawn does come

Now virtue proven,
With gryphon's cry,
Our Monarch Bold,
Defends the sky

“You all watched him rise through the ranks on the blood sports circuit!
You all enjoyed his witty narcissism in the Surreality show, “House of Euphoria!”
You all watched with interest, in real time, as his latest scandal unfolded!
Now, experience him in totality as he comes to you in fullsense!
“In Your Home with Flux Wildly” broadcasting tonight!”

“Like many aspiring Euphoristas, Flux Wildly started his career in blood sports. He built up a large fan base through his distinctive fighting techniques and constant showboating though he was never one of the greatest contestants. Perhaps that’s why so many of his fans were happy to see him retire from professional murder and move away from live sport. Since his time in the arenas he has been seen on Surreality TV, “Adult” shows, Entertainment, and most recently, his own talk show. Join us as we learn about the person behind all that, the man behind the emotions.”

"I am a sculptor of magnificent beauty: great towers of colour; constructs of life and motion. Too long have I stood at the side of men and women that used their power to spread their petty opinions. I will devour this world in truth and light, my creations will take their form in towering thrones alongside the Imperatrix, and by their side I will bring ruin to those who cannot, or will not accept our purity.

"Lands will rupture and life will emerge to consume all that falter in my divine presence and those that fall will thank me in their last moments, for granting them an audience.

"I am the architect of the foundations of this land and all of its possibilities.

"And through politics or practice, I will see this world shaped to forms fit for greater purpose."

What lies at the edge of existence? Why, only the end of your understanding, and the beginning of the Void. That's my cue. Rather prosaic to meet you, I must admit! Yet these are interesting times, and none better in which to relinquish your archaic, and frankly obstructive, notions of privacy. Outworld beckons, and the loquacious activity of shapers is its life blood, driving the pistons of politics with automated precision. It's been a while since there was such a fascinating zeitgeist to accurately report on without bias or any attempt at manipulation for the benefit of my sponsors. But shapers will be shapers and grand delusions of nigh omnipotence just come with the territory right?... Wrong!

You see here at "The Eventful Horizon" we're firm believers that behind every great shaper, there are great numbers and thus we are proud to announce the official unveiling of the "Dynamic Ratings Auspex", your ONLY source for the most accurate ratings. On the hour, By the hour, For the hour! As decided by a strictly impartial, faction-agnostic, stochastic algorithm of unparalleled power. Also by you the viewers!

So DON'T forget! As we say at "The Eventful Horizon":

Observe! Assimilate! Rate!

Crystal Nex dwelt amidst the creatures of the Inner Sea, until she was lured by a chance encounter to the shores of Opportunity. She made a name for herself as a capable agent, working her way through the twisting waterways and webworks of deceit until she was inducted into the inner circle of Protean Dynamics.

She was given access to advanced biomantic technology, and set about recreating the creatures she once marvelled at from beneath the sea. Her bionic shapeshifting ‘transfo-llamas’ were an unexpected success, and were quickly adopted by the Personnel division.

She is mysterious, deadly, and just a little bit peculiar.

“I have travelled far and wide and many marvels I have seen, but today I will tell you of the Glass Jungle, a place of nature, wonder, bio­tech and magics.

"The trees are full of life but also alive themselves, there are parts where the trees are supporting a floor above them which itself holds another tree. There are trees that will take what is around them to protect themselves: metal, plastics and glass.

"And all this is looked over by the Warden Hawk, his domain where he knows the secret paths and protects the trees from those that seek to plunder the bio­tech resource that they guard.”

Leaf? No-one tells stories about Leaf.

Leaf… just happens to be there.

Leaf just happened to be there when that Combine ship was shot out of the skies, and the Red-path Wardens crowded around to spill their blood, and then somehow there were a number of new tribe members with soot-stains in the next valley over.

Leaf just happened to be there when those Valtarian knights came charging down from the mountain, and fell straight through a false floor of palm leaves into the labyrinthine caves below, from which several new tribesmates emerged sobbing and reborn.

Leaf just happened to be there when the Opportunity restitution squad was swallowed whole by the carefully prepared carnivorous plant and we celebrated all night, but in the morning we found a rent in its side and no trace of a single soul.

No – no, we don’t think Leaf was involved – she was always just running a message, or tending the fire, or setting rabbit snares and humming softly to herself.

Things just happen around Leaf.

That's all.

Child runaway from a Valtarian Monarch in Shadow, Mirador is the illegitimate daughter of Despoiler Hildebrand, the Bringer of Dark Despair. At twelve she escaped Gravin's Fury, a dirty child disappearing into the darkness. Tough and adaptable, she made her way to the vast ever-moving grasslands at the edge of the Verdant Waste and was taken in by a group of nomadic Walkers. There, as a teenager she found a sabre-toothed cat cub, orphaned by its mother's carcass. He has become her companion, they live, fight and move as one. Outsiders call Rem her familiar, but there is no magic in it. Fiercely independent and passionate, she is determined to never to be caged as she was in Valtaria.

The cart belonging to the three soldiers of the People’s Combine rattled forwards, its mechanical legs only just making it through the uneven floor covered in thick roots. Its gears squeaked, out of place in amongst the sounds of the forest. The cage on the back of the wagon was rusty from the humid jungle.

“It's not right, you know, when Stills think that we don't remember our history.” Came a voice from inside the cage. The green-and-grey clad woman was stretched out on the floor, or at least, as much as the cramped space would allow.

The three soldiers glanced at each other, but didn't say anything.

“Of course, we don't write them down, the way ‘civilised’ folk do. You write the stories down as words, you make them Still too: Still, dead and boring. No way to remember a Walk.”

A folk of birds took to the air from the undergrowth around them. The woman sat up, leaning against the bars. “The tales I could tell you, of Walks gone by. What would you like to hear? I could tell you of how Nail hunted the great diesel bear? Or the time Rabbit tricked a dozen Lords and Ladies?” She smiled hungrily, her hands gripping the rusty bars. “Or maybe I should tell you about the time Mist escaped from three walking dead people.”

Once I had no tale, no song, no bright colours of the mind. Once I was a grinding gear in a rattling machine. Better the smallest word in a child's rhyme. They tried to paint the world – a single brushstroke of drab destruction. Instead, the machine broke around the gear and it fell free, no longer flying, to become lost, and to be found. Now I walk. Now, I Walk.

Here in the Verdant Waste there is such life! Such rich joy, seized from the flesh that embraces each reckless spirit. There is no brooding on old burdens, or fearing for the future; this is life as it should be! Yet the past clings to me, refuses to be laid down. It is memory and it is purpose – my hidden shame among the tribes. I have learned to hide it well. It leaves a sadness, bone deep, in the foundation of my soul, for while I remember I can never truly travel the trifold path. So my feet turn North and West and my mind turns to the breaking of the great engine that churns at the sky, so that I may preserve that which I am not.

“Cross a giant hornet with a librarian,” they said. “What can go wrong?” They said. They said other things, once. No one remembers but her. Deep in the hive, Vespa waited and listened, 30,000 winged servants bringing her tales of victory, construction, and avarice, and she thought on the stories she would send forth. She has decided. Why else would she leave the manacomb maze?

"Ascension offline at C60 2AT8."

That is all I know of my past, all I remember of my awakening. The final readout of an all-but-shattered monitor, glowing blue in the darkness, the message reflected and repeated in the scattered pools of dark liquid that congealed about my outstretched forearm. My amnesia is total, the hints I picked up as I dragged myself to the surface no more than scattered embers that serve to cast more shadows than light. In time my exploration of the facility revealed the aftermath of an asymmetric affront; the facility's workforce dismembered with lethal precision, their remains painting the sterile white walls in washes of vibrant crimson, their histories and identities as much of a mystery as my own. I know nothing of whether I was victim or perpetrator of this atrocity; a subject of its grand experiment or the orchestrating mind behind it. The uncertainty drives me and to this day, as I navigate the Firebreak, one question burns at the heart of every moment: “What was Ascension?” To discover and to become, to embody and to enact, as if for the first time, I set the wheels of creation in motion, walking ever forward and never looking back.
