Falling Upwards

Summary:

Nanook was defeated before their very eyes. And their closest friend vanished just as quickly into the darkness that swallowed the Destruction as well. Never to be seen again they had been told, since the plans of the Stelleron Hunters had come to pass just as intended. But that was nearly a year ago, and against all hope the fate the tore them apart is about to bring them back together again. Even if only for the briefest moments in time.

Chapter 1: To Stelle

Chapter Text

Hi Stelle,

 

I know it's been a while since my last letter, but things have been getting busier since you defeated Nanook. I guess Mr. Yang was telling the truth when he said that Destruction can never truly be defeated. He's on the Loufu right now, working with the General to try and get the rest of the Alliance to accept the Express as an ally they can call upon if anymore Stellerons start causing trouble. But according to him it's really slow sailing, even for long life species.

Himako has been spending more time on Herta Space Station recently, working on some super-secret project that she apparently can't tell us about even though we all know it has something to do with the Simulated Universe. Even when she does talk about it, it only leaves us with more questions than actual answers.

I've been busy on Jarlio-VI recently. It honestly isn't anything exciting like hunting down Stellerons, but it's been really fun. Bronya has been wanting more help with things in the Underworld, and Caelus wanted to see Belobog so it was a win-win! Oh ya, I forgot to mention that Caelus came with me. He has the same exact fascination with trash cans that you do. Are you sure you're not related to him? Is that something that can pass down generations?

Dan Heng is still on the Express right now, so for the most part it's just him and PomPom. He's been traveling around on his own, searching for the Stelleron Hunters. They've gone completely underground since you defeated Nanook. He's still after answers though, and I don't think he's going to stop until he gets them. Honestly right now I'm more scared for the Hunters if he finds them than Dan Heng.

It's been almost a year now since you disappeared into the darkness that swallowed up Nanook. A year of wondering if you were really gone the way Kafka had said. A year of using the Simulated Universe to see if there was any way for you to have survived. A year of checking the places where you made contact with other Aeons to see if there was any trace of you. A year of finding absolutely nothing.

Kafka said your Stelleron would be destroyed when you defeated Nanook. That there was no way you'd survive wherever he dragged you to. Dan Heng threw her off the express when she said that. You should have seen the look on her face when he did. I suppose not even the Stelleron Hunters are capable of seeing the future where you tell someone that their partner is gone forever and you can't do anything about it.

So... this is going to be my last letter for a while. The Express is coming back to Belobog soon, so I'll be giving this to Dan Heng to keep with the others. And a whole bunch of new pictures. You always told me that your biggest fear was forgetting everything again. So I want you to have something incase if when we find you. Memories of everything that happened. So even if you do forget, you'll know that we're your family and we love you.

 

See you soon!
