The Journals of a Dying Star

Summary:

It’s been less than a day since the comet hit, sending out magic strong enough to make every cookie on Beast-Yeast seemingly vanish without a trace— including the other four Emissaries; Change, Volition, Happiness, and Solidarity.

Knowledge is desperate to find out why all of this is happening, and how to reverse it.

A sidefic for the upcoming ‘Star of Despair’ AU I’m working on. Yea. That’s about it.

Work Text:

Day 1.

 

I don't know when it happened.

Change, Volition, Happiness, and Solidarity have disappeared. Seemingly every Cookie on this accursed continent has. It's odd. I don't know why, when, or how it happened. There was a light— a brilliant light in many colors streaking across the sky— It was unlike any comet I've ever seen.

I suppose all of my worries are… null, seeing as I am apparently the only one still.. well, alive. I'm sure the other Emissaries are fine. If I survived, without my Soul Jam (It's still missing. Sue me.), then they must have as well. I just… have to find them.

Day 1, Sector 2.

 

As of late, there's been a strange blue haze lingering in the air. Anything it touches rots almost instantly, but I have remained unaffected. Entirely. One would think inhaling something as corrosive as the haze would crumble one as fragile of my condition, but it hasn't.

I live, if it can be called that. I drift, from tree to tree, peak to peak, territory to territory. The haze is everywhere, Choking out the sunlight that's supposed to rain down over Beast-Yeast.

It's oppressive.

Everything is decaying around me, and I can do nothing to stop it.

At least… I am no longer chained to my role. Perhaps now, I can finally… live.

Even if that is too hopeful for one like me.
