Silence

It is very silent. It has always been very still. When the sparks of sensation, when involvement is utilized to make decisions.. observations dewed into a reality known as emotions. Experiences bring out emotions. The lifeforms of the created give me my blood, just by experiencing the etches and flows of time as they intermingle, I am born. I was born. As of then I was but a primitive existence, one unbounded, one essential. Millennials pass and me and my brethren are spurred on by a Chinese farmer, no blacksmith. His feelings are strong. He is a mage, a rarity amongst them. With our guidance he has crafted the tools for our conjuration. Now we can interact amongst the created. Millennials pass again and I am passed around many who would use me. Some for good, some for evil and still others for their own design. One day my jewel becomes damaged and in turn this has affected me. Emile Agreste. I didn't mean to but when she used my Miraculous she was affected and her life was put in peril. Afterwards her husband went off the deep end and while the rest I had was short, I felt as though I was in a headache. One day, the man's assistant Nathalie Sancouer called upon my powers to save the man she loved. Afterwards the two of them began plotting their villainy together in earnest. It felt like a nightmare, I was all out of whack. Why was I feeling so gleeful? It didn't make sense. One day the man fixed my miraculous and everything became clear to me. Eventually at some point I was liberated from the Agreste household and their servants and with my help, I helped the next holder to use the powers of the Peacock Miraculous for good. Times went and gone and pretty soon my Miraculous was lost to the ravages of time until one day she appeared. Her name was Miawa Totsetemo, a young Japanese woman with a heart filled with grief. In a way she reminded me of him, of Gabriel Agreste but lo and behold to my pleasant surprise she was actually pretty nice. We traveled together with her group, the Advanced Sciences Society. Her friend Erika had obtained the Black Cat Miraculous at around the same time she had found mine. Working with Miawa was quite the experience. Never before had there been such a large crowd that knew of my owner's identity as the holder of the Peacock Miraculous. Usually the identities of the Miraculous holders are supposed to remain secret but given that she was the leader of this organization, it made sense for the others to know. I let slip that the miraculous could be used to make a wish and she went off on that. Together we traveled the world gathering what few Miraculous had remained after the Great Miraculous Battle where the dreaded Hawkmoth's legacy was finally put to a rest.

Unlike the majority of my brethren, I have a better understanding of how the wish of the Miraculous works. Sass presumes that the universe must be destroyed every time a wish using the Miraculous occurs. It does not. All that's asked for is an equivalent exchange. Parts of the universe may be altered and the wish of the Miraculous may be powerful indeed, but there are limitations to what it can and cannot grant. I am not aware of all of them but what I do know is that all wishes done using the Miraculous works on a system of an equivalent exchange. If she wished to change the events of the past, it wouldn't call for the total destruction of the universe. The effects of causality only extend so far. Even if she wanted to destroy the universe, what would she have to offer? And even if she could offer something, another would just be created anyways.

I realize my viewpoint on the matter of the wish of the Miraculous runs counter to most of my brethren. They wouldn't understand, but with love these creatures we call humans are willing to take any sort of sacrifice to achieve it. I think it is lovely. She is lovely. The way she speaks of her beloved Director. I feel moved. H- how? How could this possibly be?

A human's love could move a kwami?

…

She's gone now. Killed in battle.

…

My memories. They are a bit hazy. Everything fades to black, all sounds become silent..

It is silent, too silent. The world gone numb.

World? What world? All there remains is an emptiness, a void, this null. Desolation not, fulfillment not, not not. Only one remains.. Hey. Do I know this one?

Something isn't right.

How can something or possibly someone exist in a universe that's been destroyed? How did it get destroyed? No, this has to be a mistake..

There was another Miraculous holder.

Now it all starts again, but how did I get here? The previous one was already destroyed, so then how does a universe that's been put into oblivion come back alive? I have not the faintest ideal or suspicion but this can only mean there's a chance to avert this catastrophe. Still my place remains so silent, so null and void.

It is silent, too silent for me.

…

…

The events as they have occurred last time are still the same. Emile Agreste has found me. My damage miraculous harms her, affects the Agreste family. Nathalie Sancouer becomes Mayura and Gabriele Agreste, Shadowmoth. I will not reveal what I know. This isn't something they need to know. Everything has played out the same before.

3 years. It's been 3 years since the defeat of the Agreste family and though I haven't said much, I feel as though my friend Nooroo is hiding something from me.

"Long time no see, Nooroo. How's it going with your new holder? Are you having fun? Geez, it must be pretty exciting now that we have responsible holders, huh Nooroo?"

…

He's not saying anything.

Nooroo: "it's all the same."

"Huh?"

Nooroo: "I'm sorry, my friend."

My friend tries to assure me that he's long since moved on from the abuse we suffered at the Agreste family, but it looks like.. No. It's not all the same. The defeat of Hawkmoth wasn't the end of your imprisonment. In truth I'm just speaking to a void. It would be quite some time before you were finally liberated.

"The same? What do you mean by the same, Nooroo?"

Nooroo: "It's nothing, really. Just felt I had the sensation of deja vu."

"A repeating memory eh? Ah, cut it out. You shouldn't psyche yourself out so much Nooroo. You're free now, free to do what we kwamis were meant to ."

Nooroo: "Haha, yeah. I guess you're right. I'll try to keep a positive look."

"It's not going to be easy, y'know?"

Nooroo: "Yeah, but I'll manage. It will all work out."

Maybe it's just me. Nooroo's always been quite meek, so I take it that I feel the urge to look out for him every so often. It's been 57 years since he's been enslaved by these recent onslaught of villains. Now should be about the time the holder of the Snake Miraculous used their power in conjunction with a spell from the Miraculous Grimoire in order to go back to the past, a point in time in their life. It is the order of the Guardian. Marinette. She's lost someone important to her and try as she might, she does not want to risk using the ultimate wish of the Miraculous.

Marinette: "No Duusu. It's too risky. We cannot take that chance. I cannot take that chance."

"But love shouldn't be hesitated on."

Marinette: "You're right, but I will not leave him. If only I still had Tikki with me, the Ladybug Miraculous, then it will all work out."

She's lost the Miraculous, her own earrings just like last time.

Marinette: "Viperion. I need you to do something for me."

Viperion: "What do you need?"

…

Time has reset back to when they were still just teenagers. This scene will just repeat and repeat and repeat until one day, no. One iteration, Sass's Miraculous will dissipate, til one day his Miraculous will be destroyed along with most of the others by the power of the Black Cat Miraculous gone rampant. Marinette cannot avert this.

?: "There she is. Capture her."

Those men in heavy military gear. A logo, 3 letters. They've run terrible tests on my brethren, viewing us as lab rats. A cold science with no thought to our well being.

Man with a lab coat: "We're cold, not cruel."

How naive. How many times have you tried killing that blasted reptile? What about all those personnel you simply sent to be slaughtered? Even your treatment of the ones shown to be safe in the colloquial sense is a facile. Well this bad joke will end just like it did last time.

…

It's happened. What little remains of us, we've sectioned through to a place where we are just fiction. Our pursuers have followed in chase. This world is like our own with some differences, but that's not anything she needs to know. It will only be 2 weeks and then she and her beloved will both die. Marinette will die of radiation poisoning while Adrien will be turned to stone.

The kwamis held a memorial. Very few from that place, the organization that attacked us are decent people

Kaalki: "Gah! They're still gaining on us."

Plaag: "Come on, Kaalki. We don't have much time."

Kaalki: "Grr, I know. Won't you just shut your mouth and-"

Marinette: "The spell- (coughs) use it. Use the spell."

Wayzz: "Don't push yourself. We can still-"

Marinette: "No. There isn't much time left. If they capture us again, there won't be another chance for us to escape. We'll take our final stand here."

How noble, how marvelous. If only ideals and platitude would be enough to get the job done. Sadly though Marinette, you will die. It's happened before so many times

Trixx: "Hey uh, not to rush you all or something, but we really need to hurry up with that spell. What's the progress Mullo?"

Mullo: "We're about done now. Should we wait or-"

Trixx: "There's no time. Use it now!"

Marinette is on her last legs. Within a few minutes she'll be dead as a doornail.

Wayzz: "I'm sorry, Marinette."

The spell's been performed. They cannot be allowed access to the Miraculous. Here in this tomb, the Guardian of the Miraculous along with her lover shall reside. The spell is called the final resting tomb for the Miraculous. Once it's been cast, there can be no do overs.. under normal circumstances that is.

Kaalki: "Voyage!"

It is done. We've all be scattered throughout. Now all that's left is to wait. In about 2 years I will meet her again.

…

Miawa. Is that you?

Heheh, you've grown even more kinder than before. The iterations aren't always the same. Sometimes you're nice. Other times you're just cold, but through all of this, you've never been cruel to me.

…

It's about time. Another 2 years, huh? Let's see.. how many times has this happened? I've lost count. It's all gone silent.

…

…

And that was that.

…

…

I think…. I think…

It's about time. She'll appear here.

Ah. It is time now. I can hardly wait. I know it will be the same, or close to it. Hm, come to think of it, maybe it's not all the same. Some things have changed, some minor details but overall the main of events haven't deterred. Still, even knowing still what major events will happen, I still feel this overwhelming apprehension and of course I would feel that. Emotions are not bounded by thoughts nor by any physicality. I should know this after all. Even still, I can't help but feel as though I am forgetting something..

Yes… how did this all end? Why am I experiencing this over and over again? Did something happen during one of those iterations? Possible, but I'm not sure what could've caused this.

…

Ah, it's not my problem. I'm sure it will be handled eventually. Anyways, Miawa. I can't wait.

!

Someone's picked up my Miraculous! I wonder who could it be? Meh, I already know.

Miawa. It's been such a long time. Teehee, I've done this so many times but I can't help but feel an attraction towards you. So what is it now? What is it now? Hey hey.. How are you feeling, Mi-a-wa?
