Acta Mea (Vol. I)

Acta Mea 
Risen like the phoenix, 
from the ashes of the fire,
You will never win,
it isn’t your destiny.
I stand on the ethereal planes of the universe, the floor rippling as I step forward, blood dripping from my cold, naked body. I look up, glaring at the vast open stars, a collage of colors and beauty like I have never seen before. I fall to my knees, a gentle breeze passing over me filling me with a warm sense of joy, an emotion that I haven’t felt in ages. Above me stands a pure being, a god. With a hand extended out to me, He smiles endearingly and I wonder, what is… this?
As I take His hand I am overcome with comfort, love, and care. I started crying and the being looked back at me picking me up by the waist placing me on His shoulder and laughing kindly before speaking, with a voice so full, commanding, all the while being sweet as sweet could be. “Child, do not fret. Do not cry, you no longer dream of endless pains and death. You served a life long enough, now I grant you eternal happiness.”

Confused I look at this heavenly figure and tilt my head curiously. “Who are you? What are you… where am I?”

“This is… well, it would be difficult to explain everything… Maybe we can start with a name? You may call me Father.” He said smiling at me and placing me in front of Him.

“Father…”

Thank you for those who stuck through for the whole 3 years. If you’re reading this you are one of the very few people who made it to the very end! Congrats! And don’t worry this is THE END, if themes resurface in some far off universe then you can look back at this story and thank it for the inspiration but the story of Mors Novum is finally at peace, just as Jon, Syndicate, and Umbra Inanis finally are. They all fought hard to get to this place, their resting place. I left things unexplained for a reason, I want the world to be mysterious and left open to theories by those who made it here. I left Gardener’s fate open because he wasn’t a part of Jon, maybe Gardener will live the Cycle as Jon did? The Fracture was never closed, it could very well plague other worlds someday. Why didn’t we see Syndicate die? I will actually explain this. Syndicate and Jon finally fought in earlier chapters. I skipped over such a large gap on purpose. Syndie meets his fate at Jon’s hands but lives as a

My eyes part slowly, my head is throbbing, and my limbs hurt. All around me is an endless, infinite void… yet it isn’t “the void” I came to hate with all my being. This realm was filled with calm and serenity, a sense of something I hadn’t felt in years… “home”. Distant laughter could be heard as I floated aimlessly through the space around me, dragged along by some invisible force. Colors stained the darkness around me, flashes and strings of every color imaginable, lightning striking some distant point off in the horizon. Slowly I came to a halt as my feet landed on an invisible surface, which brought yet another sensation to me. A jolting pain struck my body as I collapsed grasping my side, realizing that I was bleeding. The pain was one of the few things worth feeling anymore, and even that was questionable as no amount of pain had ever brought me close to death. Vision blurred I stumbled up to my feet huffing lightly as I looked forward seeing a distant light shining brightly.
