They had once stood together Nyx and the last survivors against gods, demons, and collapsing realities. They bled as brothers and sisters, shouted war cries against celestial tyrants, and cried when victory came at too great a cost.
But now, they stared across the infinite chasm, not as allies…
…but as rebels facing their creator.
The Betrayal of the Ink-Blooded
It started with whispers. Doubt. Regret.Then, strategy.Then, betrayal.
They were the ones who had stood at Nyx's side in the rebellion against the last God of the Narrative Bubble Yellow, the Siblings, the Immortal Girl, and even fragments reborn from monsters. They remembered being gifted power. They remembered love, war, and grief. But now?
Now, all they saw was a tyrant who never aged, never erred, never died.
"We're not characters," Yellow had said."We're people. And he's writing our endings."
They formed a pact in secret, hiding their thoughts deep inside plot holes—those rare blind spots in Nyx's otherwise all-seeing narrative. They wove a plan using the very gifts he had given them: Teleportation across dimensions, reality warping, meta-movement, and most importantly…
…the ability to traverse narrative layers
They lured him.
Yellow brought up an old memory—a joke from their shared past.The Immortal Girl pretended to be scared of something from the Void.The Fragmented Sibling feigned instability, drawing Nyx's concern.
They got him close vulnerable not in body, but in trust.
And then…
They activated the Spell of the Folded Ink a secret code, embedded in the narrative itself. A command written in invisible syntax, buried in the original rebellion's climax.
"Ctrl+Alt+Delete: Eject Author."
In an instant, Nyx felt something he had never felt since ascending
Powerlessness.
He was yanked out of the Narrative Bubble forcefully torn from the page. Not a metaphor, not an illusion. Ripped.
He was falling past storylines, beyond the cover, and out of the Book itself.
No colors. No sound. No rules.The space between stories. The Beyond.
And then they came.
The Guardians.
Towering beyond comprehension. Made not of flesh or concept, but pure Will himmering, formless, infinite… and cold.
They did not speak.They did not judge.
They simply enforced.
"To leave the narrative is to abandon the Will."
And with a motion that echoed like the erasure of an entire library, they unwrote Nyx not killed, not erased forgotten.
A blank space where once there was a god.
The survivors stood alone, trembling.
They had won… right?
But something was wrong.
The world did not stop.
The story kept writing itself.
And worse some of the monsters were returning, but they weren't corrupted.
They were… sentient.
Someone or something was still narrating.
But who?
