(We Back!) Meeting With Magnus

AN: So to recap a bit of why I was away... I was a little lost. Due to the nature of my character and the buildup of his abilities I realized he was a bit overpowered. Not wrong in anyway to be honest but conflict would be hard pressed for him. Subjecting him to power creep is a bit awkward to write. Hence why I put it down and pursued a second story that hasn't been published yet. (probably will when I get around 30ish chapters written)

So in the end I really didn't have much a plan when I began writing this in the first place I kinda went back to square 1 and tried to come up with a progression path for the story, in other words, where do we go from here? The answer? Consistent traveling. Or more accurately consistent traveling between discovered and undiscovered worlds. 

I really thank all who have supported this fanfic as It was, and still is, a blast to write. Hope to still have your support in the future and be sure to leave comments of your own Ideas you might want to see and I could maybe implement.

With Love this Khajiit sends His regards!

[Realm of Mystery]

It has been a few days since the emancipation of the twins. They were just getting around to the idea they were no longer officially part of the Zenin family. But time waits for no one, unless you have absolute control over it.

So my next project began, Myself and Yuki had discussed what could potentially occur with our meddling project. To be honest it would probably start wars knowing just a fraction of what a modern society getting access to magic would do.

Using my previous knowledge of gates I finally had the time to complete another. Finding the first gate was a bit of a challenge as coordinates through the void became distorted... but when all was said and done, with many hours of overtime to boot, I had a working portal once more. 

This is also where I learned of my original mistake in my portal. Not really a mistake but more a lacking aspect of the travel. Many years had passed in Mundus. While it was a far less time to me, in a relativistic way, the time in Mundus ran "faster". 

When the Portal connected they "Synced" allowing for the time to pass at the same rate. It did take a bit to overcome the interference of the void but studying my void resistance gave me the edge to overcome it. The completion of my second portal also reunited myself and my mother.

She was beyond happy to see me safe. And her connection to her aspect left in her Nightingale told her of my recklessness during my time here. Sadly she was unable to set foot in earth properly due to the nature of the world itself. 

Cursed energy in it's rampancy acted similar to a dragon veil, protecting the world from such a powerful being. While it was powerful, I adapted to the cursed energy thereby allowing myself to be "Inducted" into the world. 

A runoff of my existence from a further sequence of the Marauder pathway, Blasphemer. 

After consoling my mother and getting appraised of the situation of my brother becoming the subject of the Wild Hunt, I happily wanted to join the cause of fighting by his side. Only, my mother had a laugh at me!

As it turns out he did have an ally in this fight. A very lovesick Vampire Dragonborn who, my brother being the blockhead he is, didn't recognize was very much into him. The drama was still unfolding but apparently she joined as Sanguine's champion as the Dedric Prince was all to happy to indulge the girl. 

With that settled It was time for the main event. 

I appeared in the vast space of Oblivion just outside Nirn. Facing the Large hole in the Atherius I projected the little bit of Godhood I had with a message laden in the presence. "I Would like to speak"

It was a decent amount of time before a presence behind the "Sun" rose to meet my own. An Invitation hidden inside the presence calling me forth. The God Of Magicka had answered.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Atherius- Unknown realm]

With a step I "Accepted" the Invitation. Transported by a will far greater than my own. I felt tiny in comparison to the being. In front of my eyes a blue hue was lighting the blue clouds I stood upon. I felt all around me this presence but no "Person" Could be seen.

With nothing to lose I spoke, using the concept speak my mother had taught me.

"[Offer]" My offer of introducing Magicka to a new plane, a New World. The benefits such an opportunity could bring to the God.

"[Stipulations]" He spoke, the voice ringing from the clouds beneath my feet and the air. Ideas floated into my mind as his conditions floated into me. The conditions being acceptable as he would never be responsible for the management of the Magicka in that world. Just as he did here, he would only observe. To see what an advanced people could do with his might.

"[Understanding, World's Will, Cursed energy]" My first brought my understanding of the request as well as the recognition of being able to fulfill this. The second brought my knowledge of the World's Will and how it needed to be negotiated with peacefully and I would fulfill the ability to negotiate with it by use of Portals. Lastly I threw in my knowledge of Cursed energy and it's basic properties. 

"[Understood, Intrigued]" He spoke of the understanding of the situation. His knowledge of my portals as they used his Magicka as part of the fuel in the process allowed him knowledge of them. He spoke of his intrigue of the rampant energy of that world and how it could match up to Magicka by shear versatility in it's properties to manipulate reality. 

I bowed to him in respect. Having used the energy of Magicka for a long time now it had become second nature to me. The being who brought this forth onto mundus was in front and around me so I naturally respected him.

A new change to the environment occurred when I did so. The clouds in front of me shifted upwards like a small geyser. When it parted outwards a being was before me. He was tall, close to 6 and a half feet. His hair was long with a tamed beard. Blue in color as was the robes he wore with an open chest. His skin was close to silver in color. Most striking was his eyes, or rather Eye. It was a teal blue with black markings through it. 

Aedric script moving through the eye as he continued to look to me. With a wave his hand brought the Magicka fog to a still. As it began to reform into a similar portal to my own. Sadly it was missing a few things, namely my use of Hermetic writing to bring forth spirituality. But his was purely Magicka and by my observations unable to break through the void.

With my eyes firmly locked onto the portal I drew into the air. My fingers tracing the runes necessary for my own craft. He may have made Magicka, But I am Mystery. I could feel a change in my own processes as I felt these words going through my mind. 

Soon the portal was completed. My runes settled into open spaces left for them on purpose. Then he spoke, "Mortals, While I didn't condone Lorkan's behavior... he was right when he put forth his plans to create them. Mortals with a limited lifespan have made contributions untold to the study of my energy I had gifted them."

A smile graced the God's face as he said so. "I dislike them for the most part. Messy children who don't understand. but in the end that is what they are, children. Even as the Mer seek to destroy what were once my comrades creation, as they head to certain doom... They press forwards."

With a wave the portal connected. A sight from space looking unto the little blue planet graced our sight. "A projection if there were no Divine, nor Profane to control mortals... A stunning sight is it not?" His words rumbled as he spoke. But I kept silent.

"We Magna Ge have long sought to find purpose. I found mine in Magicka, Some found theirs in acting as celestial Guides. Your's is the spread and discovery of Mystery. Take pride in that." He said as his presence moved through the portal. A small sliver of it reached out in an instant and "connected" to a source.

A Dialog began as I was left only to witness the proceedings. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Evergloam-Garden of Shadows]

With a step I phased into the realm. My mother waiting upon the porch of the little cabin. With a smile I stepped forwards, climbing the steps I embraced my mother. 

With a smile on her face she sat me down on the porch. "So, how did it go with Magnus?"

I leaned on the wall of the cabin. looking to the stars of the Evergloam. A present reminder of Atherius and the realm I briefly visited. "He has agreed. Soon Magicka will begin to trickle into Earth. According to Magnus... The energies of Magicka and Cursed Energy will begin to coexist, then begin to change the environment." 

"And have you thought of the consequences?" she asked. Resting her hand on her chin. 

"A lot of people are going to die." I said. Most never really gave their thoughts too much question. Just doing. But I had to have the foresight to my decision. My intuition had overloaded me with premonitions to possible futures. Not omniscience only vague ideas of the possibilities. And they were catastrophic. 

"So why do you pursue this action, my son." A smirk on her lips as she said so. 

"Because the alternative was worse." I looked to my hands. I could feel the blood already flowing though my hands. I never talked to the members of the school about it, only Yuki and Gojo. but that future... even with my intervention...

Millions will have died in the coming future I saw. There was a new variable on the board. One I couldn't see coming at first. But as I grew in strength it became clearer and clearer. A sense of urgency brought to the forebear of my mind. 

Fog began to escape my hands forming a vague shape. It was a monster. Unrecognizable in shape and ever twisting. No true details could be seen. 

"You have been told of our role as Dedric Princes, my son. Change made manifest. Personalities given shape by our domains. Strength and Perpetuity of our existence is truth. My Mystery, you were mortal... So I understand your confusion of this beast in your mind. This creature you project... It resembles Alduin. Not in appearance or Aura. But in Concept." 

Her words made me look at this creature in a new light. Alduin, the World Eater. Whatever this Creature in my visions was it carried the same concept as him. 

""[[End]]""

We spoke together. Our voices made manifest our understanding. Mine was so shallow to hers, different... Mortal. As my origin dictated a large portion of my understandings of the universe. 

She hugged me. Feeling her warmth aided me in my decision. Since an End was coming, I would face it. Traveling from world to world to gain strength and beat back whatever abomination it was. But for now I allowed myself to be lost in the warmth. 

The black shadows coiled around us to shield me from the sight of all. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Jujutsu High - Day of Magic]

Upon my return to the world of Jujutsu I was greeted to a calm world. A deep silence that spoke of nothing to come. Reaching the roof I found two people. Yuki and Gojo.

Walking up my trench coat fluttering in the cold winds of the afternoon. I wore a black turtleneck and black slacks to go with the outfit. My red and black hair danced in the winds as I stood next to them. 

Gojo broke the silence. His eyes revealed to the world as he watched. "So it begins?"

I simply nodded. I was still a bit depressed at what my actions would cause this world. Chaos would begin to rain as if it were water. 

Soon the sun began to set as we watched. A few curious kids were watching from the entrance to the roof. I waved a hand as couches and recliners began to fill the roof. Another wave to the kids made them aware we knew of them. Filing out as they joined us. 

They kept quiet as we three watched the skies. Whenever one looked about to speak they held themselves back. It was Yuki this time who broke the silence. "I thought of this day a long time ago. What would happen if my dream could come true... If humanity could defend itself."

The kids group had grown as they learned of the gettogether on the roof. Yuki had their rapt attention.

"What would it take? What are the possibilities? What could I do? These questions plagued me for years as I trudged along my path. Azarius here has given a solution."

many turned to me, but my eyes were to the skies and my mind was still a bit in turmoil of the event to come. Gojo spoke up in my absence.

"My friend once had a dream... a goal for Sorcerers. To protect all non-sorcerers. Since we were strong, we must protect the weak. Even until his death that conviction was still present in his mind. Even if he was a victim of his own making. He followed his ideals till eventually, he settled... killing all humans to eliminate cursed spirits."

Yuta was the last to join us as even the headmasters were there before him. The sun was in it's final crest as the stars were beginning to peek out.

"I made a deal" beginning once Gojo couldn't continue. Their attention brought unto me. "The cursed spirits, they are currently wrecking havoc across the world. Many people have already died to them. So I decided to make a deal. One that would forever change this world as you know it."

And there it was. It began to shine just like a new north star. Bright as can be. And the strongest among us felt it. A shiver went down Maki's back as it happened. Gojo's eyes brightened as he took in the sights. And I myself took a deep breath. 

It was a trickle that turned into a torrent. And the world celebrated. Eagerly taking in the energy that was neutral in nature. A complete difference to the positive/ negative relationship of before. 

"I made a deal with the God Of Magicka. And he has brought it to your world." 

My words ringing as they all began to feel. It was a stark difference when someone hasn't ever felt something to all of a sudden it was there, changing them. 

With a shaky tone as we all looked to the skies to the new star, Yuji asked me, "Shouldn't this be a good thing then? Why do you all seem..." He didn't finish.

So I asked him, "Yuji, When has humanity, EVER, been reasonable with a new power?"

The answer he gave, "Oh..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will not demand stones due to my absence,

But I will be Happy to receive them!

AN: So I have tried to "shift" the story a bit in how I will continue this tale. I understand it could be a bit of a jump but I needed a true end goal for the book. Having the concept of the end is a trope, yes. But I hope to keep you entertained with the interactions between the lovable characters of the universes we all love.

As for the other book mentioned in the beginning, It is another fan-fic. I am purposefully drawing out and planning that one So much more so as to not have this same issue. 

For a quick sneak peak as to what it is, It is set in the backdrop of a fanfic that has discontinued. A conjunction of spheres has brought together the Witcher and Elderscrolls universes. Shenanigans unfold as a new guest is sent by another universal being to destroy the remnant of an old foe in that world. A Guardian. 

So, "Eyes up in another world"

Would be happy when it finally does come out for you all to support it but it will take time as I will be taking my sweet time with it. Love you all! Drem!
