Chapter One: Ixol’s Dark Side
May 12, Friday
“Well, I have to go. Yawgate needs me.” Beside Morward, there was a flash. Pasless
had teleported next to her. “Why do you just teleport me to you when I am in the middle of
eating? Chill!”
“Yawgate needs us. We have to go.”
“Fine. We’ll go back. When was it? Oh yeah. May 12, Friday, 5:15 PM.”
Pasless threw his half-eaten pizza away, and in a flash, they both disappeared once
again.
“Alright guys. It is time for the big event. Ixol, I think it would be best if you introduced
your friends to us before we go in, for... common sense reasons, I guess.”
“Wait, so this is all about me and my friends and my brother and sister?”
“Umm... Yeah...?”
“YAY!!!”
Ixol was jumping up and down frantically beside Ulipse, who whispered in Signol’s ear
“This guy is an absolute asshole.”
Yawgate guided everyone to the portal room on the second floor of the second building
of the emporium, where they found Morward, Pasless and Stratosfear in front of a portal. It had
6 symbols on it. The only one most of the points recognized was Ixol’s symbol, but Ulipse said
something that caught everyone’s attention.
“Ixol, aren’t these two symbols your siblings? This one is my friends. I heard that she
was the guardian of the creator.” She pointed to the brown crescent, pink down-facing arrow,
and a symbol with Morward-and-Pasless’-symbols-facing-away-from-each-other. She didn’t
point out the cyan upside-down droplet however.
“Even though you called me an asshole, yeah. Pretty much. How do you know?”
“Think back 500 years ago. You remember that day? I was eating with you, your bro,
your sis, and my friend Utida. You remember that?”
Ixol stared at Ulipse straight in the eyes (or symbol, I guess). He sighed and turned
around, and spoke. “Yawgate.”
“Yes...?”
“How do we activate this portal?”
“Do you know how to speak Wingdings?”
“What?”
“I said, do you know how to speak Wingdings?”
“⬥︎♒︎♋︎⧫︎✍︎”
“Good. Now just sing that one song in Wingdings to the portal.”
📬︎📬︎📬︎
“Fine.”
“⧫︎♓︎♍︎🙵 ☟︎♏︎●︎●︎□︎ ♎︎♋︎❒︎🙵■︎♏︎⬧︎⬧︎ ❍︎ ⍓︎ □︎●︎♎︎ ♐︎❒︎♓︎♏︎■︎♎︎ ”
Ixol gave a long hard pause and took a deep breath. “Wait a second...”
Ulipse burst into laughter. Around 130 years ago, she had learned and memorized the
entire language of Wingdings with Ixol. “WHAT THE HELL DUDE?!! HOW IS THAT GOING TO-”
“No... It’s working!” While Ulipse was crying of laughter, a loud crackle was heard
amongst the points. The portal revealed a black wavy image. On the other side were some new
points, waving for Ixol and Ulipse. “Elva! Utida! It’s been sooooooo fucking long! 500 years...”
Ulipse ran into Elva’s arms, giving her a warm hug. Ixol came in next, greeting everyone with the
greatest amount of respect ever in his life.
“Ido! Elva!!! I haven’t seen you in so long! How was life? Was it boring?” Ixol gave his
brother and sister a wink. They all laughed and Ido was wheezing.
“That’s cute.” Said Signol. Her feet were tapping the ground to a complicated beat.
Everyone else started talking about Ixol and Ulipse’s friends.
“At least they’re having fun.”
“Hey, Ixol. Looks like your guests are getting impatient. Why don’t you introduce them to
us?”
“Alright.”
Ixol gave all of his friends a wave, signaling them to go through the portal.
“Guys, these are my friends. Their names are Shallare, Signol, Compale, Ploque,
Anshine, Ulipse you already know, Arrolin, Mino, Yawgate, Morward, Pasless, and Stratosfear.”
He pointed to everyone and said each of their names, so did he when he was introducing his
friends and family.
“Everyone, these are my friends and family. His name is Ido,” as he pointed towards the
brown crescent symbol, “Elva,” as he pointed to the pink down-arrow point, “Cyfe,” as he
pointed to the cyan upside-down droplet, “and Utida.” Pointing to the green diamond point. “Ido
and Elva are my brother and sister, and Cyfe and Utida are two of my old friends.”
“Hello.”
“Hi.”
“What’s up?”
“Oh, hello there!”
“So what is the main reason you’re here for? Invite us to a tea party?” Elva asked. Her
symbol twitched around a bit, and nudged Ido in the elbow by a little.
“Much more than that. We are inviting you to our home, Sky Emporium. We can make
room for you guys to stay in if you would like.”
“An actual place to live in, you mean.”
“Well, yes.”
“I’m sold. When is it going to be ready?”
“We promise in a week. Oh yeah, do you want to live in the same room as Ixol?”
“Sure.” “I really don’t care.” Ido and Elva agreed, though Elva sounded sarcastic, but
also excited, as she hasn’t seen Ixol in a really long time.
“Perfect.”
“So this is the Sky Emporium, huh?” Elva wondered, as she gaped in amazement. She
had never seen something like it before in 500 years. Everyone else that came after her was
also really genuinely surprised.
“It looks really nice! Did you guys build this by yourselves?”
“Not by ourselves. Cyalm built this, and we helped him do it before we found out that he
was a god damn fraud.” Signol spoke under her frustrated voice, showing the shining Sky
Emporium quartz walls and floor. The Sky Emporium was constructed of five floors, and two
sub-buildings with three floors each, and a triangular bridge to connect them. She took the
guests into the Main Hall, and showed them the staircases up to their rooms. Ido and Elva
moved into Ixol’s new expanded room, while Cyfe and Utida moved into their own. Ido took the
first step into his first new (maybe?) room in 500 years. Elva followed suit, and she closed the
door behind her.
After sending the new guests to their rooms, Signol went into Ulipse’s room and found
her missing.
“Psst! Signol! Down here. Push away the sand in the corner.” Ulipse called from what
was heard as below the floor. Signol pushed away the sand in the corner of the room on the
opposite side of Ulipse’s closet, and saw a hole leading down into a room made of mirrors and
sandstone.
“How the hell? What is this place, and why is Morward here?” Signol sounded extremely
curious and nervous. She felt as if something bad is about to happen. Morward nodded sadly.
“We found... That in around a couple of weeks... Ixol will be die with Ulipse nearby. We
suspect it is Voixer, but we are not sure. He is still erased from the timeline, so we can’t track
him down.” Morward said in a depressing and emotional tone. She was very serious about this,
and she knew that if it really was true, Ulipse would be inconsolable and filled with grief. Ulipse
had hated Ixol for his constant annoyance and tease, but she didn’t want anyone to die. She still
had care in everyone, even if it was only a little bit.
“No. You’re lying.” Signol gasped in disbelief and mistrust. Morward tried to say
something, but Ulipse cut her off.
“We’ve SEEN it. We’ve WENT there. We SAW it happen. He killed himself to save us. I
won’t let it happen… Even if it means that I have to put my life at risk.” Ulipse said. Some tears
came out of her symbol, and wracked with depression, she flew up the hole and started
screaming.
“I know, if this was a casual conversation, I would be making fun of Ulipse for simping for
Ixol, but it is true. Don’t tell anyone, please.” Morward started to speak, and Signol was looking
around, acting like she was actually starting to lose her own mind.
“I’m sorry. Give me a moment.” Signol looked away from Morward, and when she looked
back through a mirror, Morward had disappeared. Now it was only her, and without hesitation,
flew out of the room and covered up the hole. She left the room and saw Ulipse on the first floor
balcony.
“I know you’re watching, Signol. Don’t even try cheering me up. You can’t stop the
inevitable.” Ulipse said to Signol, sulking as she observed at the sunset. “But I know, even in the
darkest times, there is still hope. Not this time. I am deeply sorry that it has come to this. There
is no other way.”
“Ulipse. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to run away, but you just need to learn to have faith.”
“I DON’T CARE IF I HAVE FAITH OR NOT! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW DEPRESSED
AND INSANE YOU WOULD GO IF YOU LOST SOMETHING YOU LOVED AND CARED
ABOUT ALL YOUR LIFE?!! DO YOU KNOW THAT FEELING?!! I DON’T FUCKING CARE
ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY!”
“Ulipse... I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to fight you. There is hope.”
Ulipse drew her sword out and started to gear up with metallic wristbands and shin
guards made out of pure diamond and amethyst.
“I said it to the Star Savior, and I will say it to you again. If this is what you want, so be it.
I must be the one to dig your grave for you.”
Signol drew her sword as well in a defensive position, backing off and getting ready to
pounce. She was shaking and trembling.
“Ulipse! What happened to you?! You know what happens if you kill me?! You get
nowhere from doing this! If you desperately want to kill me, then you can! I don’t care if you kill
me or not! Killing me is futile, and you know it!” Signol shouted at Ulipse, on the other side of the
hall. She was also armed with her own gear. Ulipse considered it for a moment, and lowered her
sword.
“Signol, I am so sorry of what I have become, but often... knowing what happens? It’s
terrifying sometimes.” Ulipse was breaking down. She started to twitch in place, and fell to her
knees. She had been overcome by depression, and she couldn't take it anymore. Tears came
pouring down out of her symbol like a waterfall, and attempted to stand up. She collapsed to the
ground with a purple hue flowing across the floors of the emporium. Signol helped her up and
escorted her to her room.
“I hope you get better soon, and goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Signol.”
Signol turned around and turned off the lights and closed the door behind her. Ulipse could hear
Signol’s footsteps as she walked down the balcony (the hallway is the balcony) to her room, and
the lights turned off.
Ixol and Ulipse stood alone in the empty darkness, worried and wracked with fear,
desperately trying to move. They couldn’t move out of the spot that they were in, and then were
locked in place. Their arms tied to their bodies and their legs tied together by chains that
seemed to come out of rocks with holes and cracks. and they were unable to move. They tried
to break the chains with force and magic, but another force stopped them. Then, the lights
turned on. They were in a purple and indigo sphere of shards, but no other point was in sight.
Then, a light broke the darkness. A voice emerged and started to speak.
“Hahaha... You’ve let Celesteal free, and now you’re going to pay the consequences for
your actions.”
“Voixer?! I thought you’ve erased yourself from existence and the timeline entirely!
How?...” Ulipse screamed in pure agony, the chained were extremely tight, while Ixol struggled
to speak and continued to try and pull himself out of the chains by force
“Well, it was quite simple. I have gathered another vessel for Celesteal’s soul to thrive in,
and now? I AM IMMORTAL. YOU CANNOT KILL A GOD. YOU CANNOT KILL WHAT ISN’T
THERE. I HAVE CHEATED DEATH ITSELF.”
Voixer laughed incomprehensibly, while Ixol and Ulipse struggled to move out of the
chains.
“What are you even here for, you bastard?!”
“I am here to finish what Celesteal started. I will kill the Star Savior, but first, I have to
remove their source of encouragement, you 23 points all together, and especially Yawgate. He
has trapped me in the godforsaken place for TOO LONG. I AM NOT HAVING IT.”
“Then why are we stuck in separate chains? You would’ve just killed us.”
“No, no... I prefer to kill you guys with a little twist. So you know, the others that will read
this little ‘Diary’ of the Sky Emporium, huh? I will let THEM decide who to save and who to kill.”
“But why?”
“For my amusement and for my goal. To gain maximum power I need to kill the six major
points: Xeron, Axum, Izso, Zyro, Astra and...”
“And who?”
“Hahixamasen. They are the very core of this Universe. If I get the strength to kill them, I
will reign supreme. Now looking at some statistics here…”
Voixer brought up a screen that appeared from an airborne rock, and it showed two bars
that said: “SAVE IXOL” and “SAVE ULIPSE”. Ixol and Ulipse looked at each other, and they
were the ones on the line. They shook in fear, trying to figure out a way to escape from the
chains. Then, a loud siren noise broke the daunting silence. All of the other points appeared in
view, but stuck inside of an inescapable and invisible box.
“Ulipse, now your friends will watch you. They will look at you inevitably die in the abyss.
Any last words?”
“Wait. Give me a second to talk to Morward.”
Morward was the first one to talk. She was incredibly shocked and in disbelief. She
pounded on the invisible walls of the box, crying.
“Ulipse! Why did you do that?!”
“It’s because I care for him! I care for everyone! even though they might hate me! I’ve
wanted to do this! I have no regrets. I sabotaged the vote. I sabotaged the vote even though
some of them also did as well. Well, now? Life was fun.”
Ixol started to interfere, and he was trying to cut Ulipse’s chains to let her to the ground
and to safety.
“Ulipse-”
“VOIXER! CUT HIS CHAIN QUICK!”
Voixer listened and cut Ixol’s chain, bringing himself down to safety with everyone else
now free from the box. They tried to fly up to save Ulipse, but there was a big black explosion
that shattered the sphere. They weren’t on the Sky Emporium anymore, but in a mountain area.
And the only thing that was left of her was some purple essence. It looked like it was all over.
It wasn’t.
Ixol was kneeling on the ground, sulking. Ido and Elva tried to help him but there was no
response. Signol and Ploque sat down on a rock, incredibly silent. Ixol eventually got up on his
feet and got angry. He looked at Ulipse’s dust and gazed towards Pasless. Ixol walked over to
him, and Ido and Elva already knew what was going on. They tried to pull him back but Ixol
threatened to kill himself in front of them, so Ulipse’s death would be in vain.
“Pasless. I think you know what to do.”
“But I don’t think he will.” Cyfe was standing beside Pasless. Cyfe is a being of the
present, which is how time flows. “And I think Morward also knows that if you travel to the past,
you will sacrifice yourself for Ulipse. I see no flaw, but what would Ido and Elva do without you?
What do you think they’ll do? Deal with it? We can’t MAKE another Ixol out of thin air.”
“I know. And I don’t care about the cost. I want to bring her back. PLEASE. IF IT IS THE
LAST THING I DO...”
“THEN SO BE IT.”
Ixol jumped at Pasless forcing him to time travel back to when Ixol and Ulipse were stuck
on chains. Ixol crashed through the screen and got hold of Pasless once again when they were
in the empty darkness. He let go of Pasless, and then Ixol didn’t feel the chains locking him in
place that time. He saw Ulipse again, but they were on a platform with an invisible box boxing
them in. Voixer went through the same procedure, but Ixol said something that surprised Ulipse.
“Voixer. Kill me.”
“What?”
“I said, Voixer, kill me.”
“So, you have willingly chosen death.”
“That would be correct. Now free Ulipse.”
“Well then. Goodbye, Ixol.”
“Wait. I want to say something to Ulipse.”
“Alright. You have ten seconds. Don’t waste our time. Hehehe…”
“Ulipse? I want you to remember something.”
“What is it?”
Ulipse looked up at Ixol’s face, and said nothing else. Ixol walked towards Ulipse and
gave her a warm hug.
“I am always next to U on the keyboard. See you up there.”
Ixol gave Ulipse a kiss and the bottom of the box opened. Ulipse fell down to all of the
other points and started floating upwards to try and get Ixol. Ixol had already escaped the box,
and his symbol was gleaming with color. He got behind Voixer, and curled up into a ball, and
before anyone could say anything, he exploded into a million fragments, bringing Voixer down
with him. His symbol shattered and Ixol was dead. Ulipse was inconsolable and Ido and Elva
were crying. They were back on the Sky Emporium, but it felt so empty inside.
“He did that for us... It was going to be me… His death will not be in vain... I will
remember you forever.”
Ulipse picked the flower from her jacket on a picture of Ixol’s family photo. Ido grabbed
another photo of Ixol, Elva and himself. Elva came over as well and continued crying. Black
tears dropped onto the photo, and Elva’s symbol turned black. She was filled with guilt, regret
and anger. But now, Ixol was up there, watching them from above, as a ghost.
All of the points were outside on the main platform of the Sky Emporium. Yawgate was
digging the grave for Ixol. He put Ixol’s symbol into the hole, with a gravestone that read:
“R.I.P”
“Ixol”
“The Best Among All of Us”
Yawgate saluted in front of the grave, and everyone else followed suit. Ido and Elva came
forward and started to whisper some incomprehensible words to the grave. Some air wooshed
around them and a holographic image of Ixol showed up. But it turned out it wasn’t even a
hologram. It was Ghost Ixol, or otherwise known as Gixol.
“Ixol? Is that you?”
“Yeah. What did you expect, Ulipse? I told you I would always be next to you. HA HA
HA”
Ixol was floating around the points, and then came up with an idea.
“Xeron?”
This was the first time he had ever said Xeron’s name. He responded.
“Yeah?”
“Can you draw me and Ulipse together? As a memory?”
“Don’t leave me out.”
“Me too.”
Ido and Elva wanted to go into the picture as well, and Xeron gladly nodded his head.
Things went perfectly normal. And they all lived happily ever after. Or did they?
“I’M WATCHING...”
