Chapter Text
"Hello everyone," a man greeted from an armchair by a fireplace. "I am Kurt. Creator of the Prime Universe and a member of the Council of Outer Universians. Today I have a relatively unknown story to tell you all. It comes from another universe in the Outer Universe, one whose main timeline you might be familiar with. I am talking about a story from the world of Remnant. Let us begin, shall we?"
Our story begins in the middle of the Lost Fable. Salem had just rallied all of humanity against the Brother Gods, only for the two of them to destroy all of humanity, leaving only Salem. However, before leaving, the two brothers decided on a different approach than what they had done in the main timeline. They destroyed Salem down to the very last molecule. Obliterating her down to her soul. They flew off, leaving behind the remnants of humanity, the Grimm, and four relics that would bring them back to judge humanity.
Thousands of years later, two siblings, an exploring duo, found one of the ruins of the old civilization. Inside the ruins was a mural telling of the magic that was wielded by humanity at some point. It also told of two pools in which people would pray to the gods.
The two explorers interpreted the mural as meaning that by dipping themselves into the pools, they would be allowed to wield magic. So they sought after the pools using the mural as a map. The older sibling headed north towards where the Pool of Darkness laid while the other headed south towards the Pool of Light.
The older sibling fought tooth and nail against the Grimm and the cold landscape of Solitas to finally reach the Pool of Darkness. Upon arriving, they reached into the pool to try and feel the magic coursing through their veins. Instead they felt nothing, so they tried to go deeper, until they eventually fully submerged themselves into the pool. There they were transformed into a creature of Grimm, but they were also granted something else. They saw a glimpse into the mind of the God of Darkness, saw the relics and what they would do, even saw how to control the Grimm. The Pool of Darkness corrupted their nature and they wished to use everything they had just learned to raze the world to the ground.
Their sibling meanwhile had reached the Pool of Light in an uncharted island far off of the coast of Sanus. There they immediately submerged into the pool. They also saw a peek into the memories of one of the Brother Gods, the God of Light. They saw the relics and the power of the Silver Eyes. However, the shock from this information stopped their heart before they could fully become immortal from the power of the pool. Instead they were given a reincarnation similar to that of Ozma's.
Over the next few decades, both siblings began looking for the relics, neither of them succeeding until the younger sibling found the Relic of Knowledge and Jinn. From there they learned of their sibling's fate, the location of the other relics, and what to do next. Jinn told them all of this and even gave them the idea of using keys to hide the relics. Distraught by what their sibling had become, they decided to hide the relics in schools dedicated to beating back the Grimm.
"And that about wraps up the major changes from the main timeline of Remnant and what shall be known as the Total Reset timeline," Kurt remarked as he closed the book. "At least so far. The story is still being written. So won't you join me when I find out more?"
