A quest by Cirr. What starts as a journey for the truth turns to something more, in a world fraught with ancient mystery and dangers from beyond the stars.

Characters
Teteke
A male cenesu of unspecified age. Fairly knowledgeable about the world around him. Currently on a search for knowledge of his species' history. Wears a lab coat for no specified reason. We call him Tacobird.
Seilea
A female seltwil with a red robe. With a symbol on it. Something something chapter just started seriously we know nothing yet
Au
Guardian Essence of Terea, Aspect of Creation, words words words.
Plot
Chapter 1 - Resonance
Teteke finds an ancient golden tower and touches a magic crystal hovering in the air. This causes the Thousandfold (us) to be bound to him. He stumbles across a craftkind that talks but shouldn't and it chases him into an elevator. He goes upstairs, touches a different crystal and starts hearing more voices. Au suddenly appears and berates the Thousandfold for existing.
The Thousandfold talks to Au, who reels off some exposition before sending us back to Teteke, plus one artifact. Teteke struggles with the craftkind again before breaking it, and goes up to the top floor of the tower just in time to see the end of the world as we know it.
We talk to someone who we apparently killed all their family and friends and we don't remember. Go team!
Chapter 2 - Seekers
(Currently ongoing.)
