Lacrimosa: The Story of Nayka Stewart

by Ryou Voltaire

Nayka Stewart, the daughter of a esteemed author who went missing a year ago, still holds out hope that her father is still alive. But when she finds out her father's secret writings are true, she is forced to question the things she held as true and at the same time lend her efforts to stop realms from crumbling. Rated T for some Blood/gore references later on.

1. Chapter 1

In a single moment of time, a billion things are happening in the thousands of different dimensions of the universe.

A child's pleading is suddenly silenced in a forest where death should never have come.

Many decisions in the story of a life can make the future of said story change, in both good and bad ways.

A bee flies into a night sky, searching for the hero that it will never find.

There are decisions that not only affect the story of a life, but are vital to the existence of a dimension. These are the dots of light on which the cosmos hangs. They are the origin points.

In a rural town in the mountains, four boys huddle quietly in a corner of a cell, unsure of what will happen to them.

If these points, these decisions, are changed, the cosmic order shifts and the universe will begin to break apart.

A red headed boy falls unto a blood soaked floor and cries, "Oh god why?" as his rival-friend is torn apart by an unstoppable force.

Someone would do this only if he had some way to fix the Realms once broken by chaos- and that is why this must not happen. Someone could destroy the Realms and then shape it to suit their own will.

In a cloudless night, a flightless angel mourns over his goddess, as the moon looks down scornfully.

Thirty years ago, a man named Edward Jobsworth tried to do this. He failed only because a boy named Erp Stewart thwarted him at the last minute and killed him.

A town is enveloped by yellow fog, and a body hangs from a telephone pole- the body of a black haired girl in a kimono.

His daughter had taken his place after 25 years of peace, and is threatening the same thing as her father before her- the destruction of the Realms. Erp Stewart was killed truing to take her down before she could cause real damage. The dimensions still mourn his passing.

A crimson moon eclipses the sky as a boy with a cap and overalls cries for the end of his world. 5:00:00 until the moon collides with the earth.

The ones left after all of the destruction and death Akasha Jobsworth had unleashed on the Realms are left wondering: What is there left? Is there any hope? Will there be an end to this?

Who will send our codes to the stars?
