Summary:

It's Demak's Minus World, and they're all just living in it.


Ancient Fairy Dragon in the Cursed Prison. The spirit world she shields under the Minus Curse.

It is the Planet of the Apes, led by Dr. Zaius. Led by Zeman the Ape Demon King. Taken by the Cursed Needle.

The monkey on Satellite's back, wrongness roaring from within the roaring earth. A dark matter that cults have closed their souls and bent their knees in aped deification of. Sacrificed flesh in order to give flesh to the dark wave, sleeping beneath the clod.

Ruka's mind retreats to her childhood forest.

While Rua follows the twisted trail of Cusillu's curled tail.

The Signers play their parts. Stars – bright, yes – thanks to the Star Dragon. Beneficiaries of the Crimson Dragon's light.

They are apes.

And the Dark Signers, they play their roles. Shamans of the shadow puppets. The nobodies monkeying around at the feet of laughing gods they've until now tramped their feet upon.

Their sacrifices are apes.

Respect is lost on simple-minded animals.

Control is a more merciful destiny for these foolish beasts.

The boy should run and hide. Scream. But he promises he'll pretend for his sister. Pretend to himself he's on the same level as a Signer like she and the rest.

She's closer than afar. Closer than her brother or the monkey man realize.

Upset the rule over Schwank with explosive plus energy. Magicians, one real and one fake.

Turning pain to power, to reverse the ruthlessly reversed river of time.

Mountain collapse. The fighter's moon flared by sunshine.

A white lion gallops and two dragons crest.

Brother and sister pierce the god's halving punch.

And Demak decays, joining the dirt.

Two pluses outshine a minus.
