Verse and Dimensions: Stories. Мастер Исандер

In her opinion, exiling him was far too harsh a punishment to begin with and considering that the collapse was due to occur, Peralitus essentially got a death sentence for making a mistake that was not his fault. However, she knew that arguing with Xenixel would be no use and she let Peralitus get exiled. In Peralitus’ absence, Abstractil felt guilty for the exile and wondered what she could have done differently regarding treating Peralitus in order for it to never have happened. She would then feel far worse when Peralitus eventually slaughtered Matharin and Empiroxus and blamed herself for their deaths. If things had gone differently between her and Peralitus, Empiroxus and Matharin would probably be still alive and aiding with protecting Beyond. In the midst of the collapse, she tried to retrieve the trosinium Empiroxus was meant to retrieve. This was met with success, however, she was gravely injured when some of her constituent verses got corrupted and left dangerous to make contact with.

      After providing the trosinium to Conceptilum and waiting for the collapse to end, she made the reluctant decisions to distance herself from the Council to not cause any damage, leave her honourary son as leader, and to die in peace—reuniting her with her friends Empiroxus and Matharin. As a result, she would never properly meet and interact with the newly hatched Unthil and never meet the SuperGods yet to hatch. Conceptilum hated Abstractil’s choice to leave and desperately wanted her to be the Council’s new leader—Abstractil actually had the leadership qualities that he did not have. As soon as Conceptilum and his children set to hard work rebuilding the Council, Abstractil left to search for the corrupted remains of Empiroxus within Hellensoerensen and use them to help her pass. Abstractil had complete and total faith in the new Council to rebuild Beyond—she had no doubts that her son Conceptilum would make a better leader than Xenixel would ever be, Paradoxus and Logixel would greatly help restore Beyond’s stability, and Conceptilum’s recently hatched omniscient^3 son would grow up to be an excellent advisor that would use his powers more wisely than the omniscient^3s she knew. Abstractil hoped that Conceptilum’s to-be hatched children would grow to be smart, clever SuperGods who could be beneficial to their home’s stability.

      Empiroxus

      Empiroxus was a member of the Original Council. He was a partner to Abstractil and possessed the abilities omnipotence^3 and omniscience^2. Empiroxus was mainly a traveler and was primarily responsible for retrieving many of the Council's resources, some of which are still extant and used in the Council's Beyond bubble in the present.

      Empiroxus and Abstractil have had a close relationship that has been maintained for much of their history. In contrast to Abstractil's tranquil and benign nature, Empiroxus was more bold and a headstrong adventurer. If any SuperGods tried to do or get him to do tasks he thought were in the wrong such as bringing unnecessary harm to lesser entities or take resources from the less fortunate, Empiroxus would do his best to stand up for what he saw was right and try to set things straight. Empiroxus is keen having tasks done "his way" and gets somewhat upset when others stray from it. However, much unlike the Council's leader Xenixel, Empiroxus was very willing to give the benefit of the doubt to those who made mistakes unintentionally such as Matharin and Conceptilum. Often, this had led to him telling long-winded and typically slightly inaccurate stories about his history where he learned some important life lesson, much to the awe of Conceptilum and annoyance of Matharin. Eventually, Matharin would point out to Empiroxus that telling tall tales was an ineffective way of getting messages across to entities that meant harm—revenge and counterattacking those who hurt her loved ones seemed like a much more satisfactory option that would make messages far clearer than stories with no obvious message to even her omniscient^3 mind. Empiroxus eventually would no longer comment on Matharin's opinion and say nothing to her. In his opinion, Matharin was in the wrong but she did not realize that she was. Matharin had never experienced the harm that vengeance can potentially inflict, and hopefully she never would. Empiroxus places the safety and well-being of his close friends and family before himself and was more than willing to take risks and get hurt if it meant that they would carry on.

      Xenixel greatly despised Empiroxus at first, as Empiroxus's ideals seemed virtually incompatible with his own. In Xenixel's opinion, Empiroxus would most certainly lead the Council to imminent disrepair if he truly had things his way. However, when Empiroxus's strategies proved incredibly beneficial to the stability of Beyond, Xenixel grew more trusting of Empiroxus and eventually came to fully entrust him with resource collection. Empiroxus found life in the safety of the Council's large and stable beyond bubble to be comforting—a relaxing change of pace from the more persistently hostile environment of his former home. Empiroxus did love a good adventure, but every now and then some relaxation was needed to relieve himself of the stress adventure can bring. However, the largest flaw with his new life, though, was Xenixel's consistently improper behaviour and stubborn refusal to change.

      Once when Empiroxus was tasked to gather some Staterium, he was questioned by his former allies as to why he decided to move to the bubble. In response, Empiroxus had told them that life was overall better for him and Abstractil in Xenixel's Beyond bubble. If life there was really so great, some would retaliate, why shouldn't anyone be allowed to experience life there? Empiroxus believed in serving others before himself, so he should allow said others to have the benefits. Did arbitrarily high strength matter that much? Why should Xenixel even stay in charge? Just overthrow him, let Abstractil in charge and allow everyone to enter the bubble and live a life as good as he does. Empiroxus began to grow very uncomfortable with the crowds of omnipotent^2 beings—what he saw as their selfishness was not right, but the SuperGods really did have a point and their anger at him was justified. Xenixel was not a leader many were fond of, and it would be ideal for him to step down—overthrowing him was not possible as Xenixel was more than capable of vanquishing both Empiroxus and Abstractil if he desired. More SuperGods should be knowledgeable about the labyrinthine tunnels and other SuperGod entrance preventive measures set by the Least Guardians who lived in the bubble before that only the Council members currently knew how to properly maneuver. In moments like that, he wished that he could quickly come up with an excellent solution and reason with others as well as Abstractil often did. Empiroxus's bold and confident personality around those entities began to crumble before him.

      Empiroxus would eventually resort to sacrificing his popularity and reputation as a well-respected SuperGod. From then onward, instead of entering tunnels that led to regions dense with SuperGods and beyond bubbles, Empiroxus would intentionally enter tunnels that led to less SuperGod-habitable, more hostile, and more dangerous areas less populated by SuperGods. Abstractil was not particularly happy with how poorly Empiroxus grew to handle confrontations from many SuperGods at once and greatly regretted not being there to support him, but Xenixel was quite satisfied. Other SuperGods would no longer associate with or bother Empiroxus—more SuperGods potentially leaving him alone and staying away from him would potentially speed up missions.

      Empiroxus seemed to become much happier when he made the choice to use new routes and gets very ecstatic at the wonders of the Ecosystem, in direct contrast to how stressed he became near the areas of the Cohort more dense with Beyond bubbles and SuperGods. Though he retained his clear confidence and sociability among his remaining friends as well as his willingness to tell long stories about his great adventures and argue with Xenixel, he had a permanent sense of anxiety around large numbers of SuperGods and was very unwilling to travel directly through the Cohort, instead moving about the edges. This bit of information about Empiroxus was eventually given to Conceptilum and Matharin by Abstractil and the young pair tried their best to not bother Empiroxus with talk of traveling through crowded regions afterwards, despite Matharin's lack of empathy.

      On one of Empiroxus's journeys to collect the rare element phi that was nearby a logical desert, he eventually found out that a SuperGod that seemed as strong as himself lived in a small Beyond bubble nearby said desert. This SuperGod's name was Peralitus.

      Peralitus had heard of Xenixel's Council and had longed to be within its ranks for a long while. However, Peralitus had an astoundingly poor understanding of tunnels and the inscripverses that encoded directions to the Cohort and had been unable to their bubble. Apparently, nobody had taught him how to actually make sense of them after all this metatime. That, or he had been taught but completely forgot everything he ever learned or never paid attention to anyone who might have taught him. Empiroxus
