Beyond the Stars / Deep Within the Dark Story Contest 2023

ANGELS
You hear a whisper that softly passes your ear. The voice is one that you know very well. It beckons you to follow. Mesmerized you turn to follow. Without realizing The Grand Throne Room snaps you out of your daze. The shining of the gold against the pure white almost blinds you. Sitting upon the throne is no other than the Empyrean Reaper. Your gaze drops without a thought. The whisper continues like melody to your ears. The Void is calling Deep within the Dark... You shall be the first to explore... Danger awaits... Treasures await... The unforeseen is awaiting to be seen... Delve Deep within the Dark and return with your Tales... For I wish to see your story unfold. And maybe you are the Champion that I seek... What dangers will you overcome... Will you succumb to the Void, never to be seen again... Forgotten... Unremembered... Erased... Fallen... Lost... Alone... Tell me, what shall your fate reveal? You, of the High Heavens. You, close to the Light. You, an Angel. Can you take up this challenge? Return to the High Heavens with tales in tow? As silence falls, you look upon the Empyrean Reaper - "I can and I will". Exiting The Grand Throne Room, you harden your resolve. - "Deep within the Dark, I shall not succumb to the Void"

DEMONS
Cutting gems... Not cutting gems. Before you know it you plop down unbecoming in the Prime Evil's Throne Room. You quickly brush yourself off, kneeling with your head low. You stutter "My apologies" but only see the Prime Evil's back. Without turning the Prime Evil sharply says "I do not care for your etiquette - You will be going Beyond the Stars." You blink in confusion but don't dare to say a word. "Let this be clear - You have no choice in this matter." A wash of fear crosses your face. You remain kneeling awaiting instructions. Have you seen the stars? Have you seen what lies beyond them? As you begin to answer you are swiftly cut off. Beyond the Stars is but a mystery to us, a mystery to my kin, Demons. The Angels know, so why should we be any different. We are the superior species. Don't you think? You know very well not to give an answer. Enough banter, my command to you is this... I will give you the means to go to the stars. You will need to figure out the rest for yourself. Go Beyond the Stars - Log your findings. The Prime Evil snares a bit, detailed notes. Do not return to me with kid drawings. Those are your commands, be gone! You hear a snap... cutting gems.

ANGELS
You have been suddenly called into the throne room of the Empyrean Reaper. She seems to be lost in thought. You think to yourself 'Why have I been called here? Did I do something wrong?' You are dragged from your thoughts as she begins to speak. Your eyes fall upon her back as you listen to her speak. She tells you that there is a matter that only you can take care of, something only you can accomplish. Without giving you much time to process the information she continues on to tell you that you must leave immediately to find something of old. A relic of the High Heavens, something with meaning and value that has been cherished as a strong foundation of the Light. You must find it and return it, as there is but a short time before it is lost forever. You lower your head with a slight nod and turn leaving the presence of the Empyrean Reaper to complete the given task, one only you could do.


DEMONS
You have been summoned to the Prime Evils' chambers. Your gaze rest upon his darkened figure as he looks up at you from his throne. With a slight gulp you are unsure if you should ask him why you were called to see him. His sharp stare pierces through your core and you simply continue to stare awaiting him to speak. A short time passes and he begins to speak. He tells you of a demon that has betrayed their own kind and that they have stolen an item of utmost importance. He continues on to tell you that you are the only one he can give this task to and he believes that you are capable of retrieving the stolen item and banishing the traitor back to Hell so that a proper punishment can be served. With wide eyes you nod and with a slight bow you disappear into a black cloud to complete the task. You think to yourself 'This is a task I must complete without fail for I am the only one capable...'
