Chapter Text
Darkness was all aether could see for miles and miles on end.
He truly could not tell how long he had been falling in this endless abyss. days, months, years? By this point, he believed it most likely, did not matter.
To him, just moments ago he and his star-bound sibling had been confronted by some kind of self-proclaimed god.
A god, who bested both him and lumine in combat, and proceeded to separate them by utilizing some kind of cubed-shaped spacial magic he'd never seen before despite the amount of worlds he had seen throughout his travels.
He won't ever be able to forget lumine's despaired filled cries of anguish to him, as his vision was slowly replaced with a haze of abyssal black.
And so, now he was here, stuck, slowly falling face up in this black canvas of a space.
Or at least he thought.
Suddenly, his vision caught a flash of light, that proceeded to expand and grow until it replaced the black abyss with replesant light.
Almost immediately aether could finally feel gravity kicking-in, in an almost forceful fashion, causing him to flip himself upright through the usage of his ingrained acrobatic skills.
'Well... at least I'm not dead yet.' Aether thought gratifyingly, he honestly thought he was going to be falling forever at the rate he was going.
'But, what exactly is this place?'
Aether proceeded to look at his surroundings, only to be greeted with nothing but a white void that stretched out endlessly.
That is until he felt a strange pulling sensation, one that was felt through his very being, as if someone, or, something was calling out to him.
Aether grabbed his head in slight pain, as the pulling caused him to stare to the right-side of the void.
"Argh! W-ho, whose there!!!" Aether shouted into the void.
Unfortunately, the only answer he received was a repeated pulling and buzzing sensation, telling him to go in that direction.
Left with pretty much no other choice in the matter, aether started his long treak, into the vast emptiness.
