Solemn Reveries; A Dark, Desolate World
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I was running in a world so dark; so cold
A world which felt like a prison
A world voided of meaning and comfort
A world that ran parallel to Terra Australis
I was running in a world so eerie; so mysterious
A world whose floor is nothing but stone filled with water that got deeper with every step
A world that will snatch you of calm and reason
A world that reflected true silence
I was running in a world so dark; so desolate
A world that kept secrets
A world that covered its true purpose beneath its aquatic sheets
A world that hid overwhelming power
I was running in a world of pure darkness
A hidden wonder of Terra Australis
A world where I have become its god
Solemn Reveries of Terra Australis; A Dark, Desolate World

On the border of South Britain between French Arctica, inside a telegraph office, a team of decoders deciphered a message that was sent yesterday from General d’ Armee Chevrolet.They wrote the message on paper and sent it to a military postal office inside a brown envelope and a stamp that signalled its importance and urgency. Immediately they dispatched the letter, sending it to the capital, New London.A few hours later, General Matilda received a knock on the door as she was writing something. “Come in.” She said as she raised her head to see who it was. A soldier opened the door and saluted, “Ma’am, we’ve just received a telegram from General Chevrolet. Here it is on paper.” He said as he approached the General and placed a brown envelope on the table. He slightly bowed his head and saluted as he left the room and closed the door.She placed her notes aside and opened the envelope which wrote,“We found the two angels.I am planned to attack Divinity activity near the northern b
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Vol. 2 Chapter 3: Episode
A thick fog covered the desolate woodlands outside the capital of South Britain, New London. As fireflies huddled around the tall grass and leaves, beneath the surface of the forest hid a small cottage made of ordinary wood and metal sheets.As the roosters sang their morning hymn, one of the people inside got up their bed and went outside the house. She yawned as she approached an open campfire where the flames of yesterday disintegrated the little twigs it had left. She spaced out for a few seconds before kneeling in front of the campfire. The ground beneath it covered in ashes which reflected the silver-coloured hair of the lady as she gently placed her hand on one of the twigs, burned to a crisp.After yawning one last time, her red eyes started to glow as the surrounding ground around her start to vibrate. As the chicken called once more, the twig began to take back its original shape and size, not only that but also with the other twigs inside the campfire. Slowly regenerating a

Isuzu spent the rest of the day, practising getting in the world of pitch black and getting out of it. While Celeste and Iowa would support her from the outside, pulling her out if she could not. Isuzu entered that world over and over again. The structures inside started to develop even more.“Right, one last time before we eat dinner,” Celeste said as Iowa helped Isuzu settle down as she held her hand. “OK,” Isuzu answered as she held Iowa’s hand tighter. She closed her eyes as her brain started to visualise shapes and patterns in different colours. Isuzu relaxed her muscles but kept her chin up high, and as she opened her eyes,Everything was pitch black, all except for her.Isuzu walked confidently to the puddle where the other side was and gently dived into the large ray of light. She took deep breaths as she found herself on the surface of the pond and climbed out. She immediately dried up as soon as she walked around the pavement. The world around her, although still covered in

The commanders and generals of every colony in the archipelago were gathered by General Matilda in South Britain to discuss the matter. Meanwhile,Isuzu ran to the deeper parts of the woodlands. Her mission was to be undetected by Iowa or Celeste before time runs out. "Right, I only have a few minutes left." Said Isuzu as she watched her small watch run out.She now wore a comfortable white shirt and a type of pants sewed together by Celeste to give her the best comfort as she ran around during training.She vaulted against small logs and scaled through small gaps and tried to avoid stepping on dead leaves because of the crunching it makes.Meanwhile, Iowa and Celeste ran beside each other and started to discuss their plan, "Let's split up, your vines should help," Iowa told Celes
