Shadowy Truth
It was almost an entire day later when the three debated in the emperor’s personal library, where they poured themselves into numerous historical and philosophical books. All three discussed the many merits and disadvantages of such an alliance, but couldn’t reach any certain conclusion.
The decision was beyond difficult for someone like Claire to handle - as the emperor had stated, the future of the empire was pretty much in her hands. More critically, the future of the people was in her hands.
They shook wildly as the reality of it all continued to bombard her. If she chose poorly, all could be burnt to ashes and scattered to the wind.
At least, that was how she felt about the decision, no matter how much Freya attempted to ease her mind.

A handful of mirrors across Dendrus IV shifted their reflections back onto Thanatos. There, Godeater peered at the massive void that used to be a ship. It went down every passageway and room, through every module and system, into every weapon and chitin plate, and into the bridge.All was dark and covered in its shadow, and had long since been converted. What they were no longer existed.It confirmed that there were no signs of life aboard, digitally or biologically or anything in between.Regardless, there Freya was, like a flame amidst the darkness. Defiant and radiating.“You are persistent,” said Godeater.Its voice boomed all around and within, and bathed its sweeping darkness ubiquitously across the galaxy.

Raijin’s primary operational circuits cycled up to full strength as her Oversight Engine forcefully disconnected her from her Remote Consciousness Shard. Over the course of fractions of a nanosecond, she had personally experienced Godeater’s takeover, as it consumed her nanite swarm over Dendrus IV.She processed and felt its overwhelming void energies convert each of her individual nanites one by one by one, even as Thanatos was swallowed up all around her. And although she desperately wanted to process that conversion data, to understand the vast energies at play, she couldn’t.For one thing, there was a deep-seated fear that accompanied Godeater’s takeover. Its intensity was far beyond her own ability to cope, even with the help of Yggdrasil’s powerful computational circuits.B

Ravens of Eternity Afterword
Hello Wonderful Readers! First things first, I want to give big, huge thanks to each and every one of you who read Ravens of Eternity. Whether you read just a handful of chapters or every single one - I appreciate your support greatly. Extra thanks and shoutouts and hugs to those who directly support me as patrons. Without you all, I might have stopped halfway through the novel itself. Been working on this novel for just about two years straight with a few breaks here and there. Writing the novel energized me greatly, mainly because I’ve had a ton of humanist themes I’ve wanted to explore through writing. You know, like most good science fiction and space opera stories. =) Ravens of Eternity in particular has so many themes about power, corruption, identity, purpose, and togetherness. I tried my best to weave all of these into the narrative through a myriad of characters, and I hope I was able to accomplish it well. I’m sure many of you saw the numerous references to all kinds of
Ravens of Eternity Respawn
Eva’s eyes blinked slowly as she woke in a light haze. As consciousness filled her mind, something told her that things just weren’t quite right. She realized that she wasn’t in her own bed, or even in her own clothes. Instead, she was wearing some kind of skin-tight, pressurized medical suit that covered every inch of her from the neck down. And then, words materialized in her mind’s eye, as though there was a literal computer screen inside of it. — WELCOME — Eva shot upright in absolute alarm at the sight of it, but immediately hit something with a BANG! “What the f…” She rubbed her head after she hit the spotless clear canopy above her, which felt far more solid than glass. “What in hell is going on here?” she cried out. She looked around her frantically, and saw that she was in a cocoon-like, egg-shaped bed about the size of a twin. It was covered in sterile sheets that reminded her of beddings found in a hospital. To each of her sides, just where the glass canopy met the
