Before-the-Rift

//If you see this, you are running out of time to tell people about it. They won't remember, and they'll think that you're crazy. I remember, but I won't for long. You will be the last person to remember, and then you will forget too. So, what will you do? Will you [[let the legacy live on]], or will you [[forget]] too?//

//Well, let us begin then. This world will all be forgotten eventually, but isn't it better if it's forgotten all together? Forgive me, I am rambling. Do you still want to remember? [[Remember]] or [[forget]] //

//Well, I don't see any reason for you to stay here. Goodbye.//

//I am glad. We must do this fast, before it happens.// [['It?']] //Well, let us begin. The first step in making sure everyone remembers is to present it a fiction. Present it as a myth, or a story. Whatever you see fit. Some people believe that fiction can be true. The next step is-// ... . . . . .. .. .. .. ... ... ... ... [[...?]]

//Ah, well, I guess I am one of the few who know about it. The Fracture, or the Split, depending on what feels right to you It is an event that will make everyone forget, and will bring about a new world. The only reason we know of its existence is because something like this has happened before. It happened on a much smaller scale, but it still happened. I don't believe that this connection will be affected, but-// ... . . . . .. .. .. .. ... ... ... ... [[...?]]

Nothing but silence. What... happened...? I don't even know how there was a connection to begin with. What just happened? ... Well the only way is to keep going . . . . .. .. .. .. ... ... ... ... Well, there's something here alright... //[[Backup transcript]]//

''If you're reading this, then the connection has been severed. This will make the process harder, as you will not be able to ask questions. I will try to explain what to do in a way that you can understand. This world is running out of time. They all are. None of the worlds will be completely forgotten, but not everything about them will be remembered. There is not much that can be done to make sure that this part is remembered, other then present it as fiction. The observations that we have made of this are limited, as last time this happened on a much smaller scale, and it didn't destroy much. This event goes against everything that we thought we knew about this world. It rips apart space and time... ...and combines it with that of another world. The last time that this happened was in [[The Grove]], which doesn't have much damage done to it at all. This time will be different. This time, nothing will be left unchanged. People will be lucky to survive. If you are curious, look over [[our research]] If not, I will keep going The world will never know if you forget. The world will never know if you don't persue it The world will never know if you don't know. Do you truly remember? [[Yes]]. [[No]].''

''Our research into the phenomenon known as The Fracture, or The Split. The Fracture is an event that appears to be a way of stablising the multiversal fabric. It happens when an area has too much power. Fractures are common on [[Cosmatrios]], but the closest example we have is [[The Grove]]. [[The Grove]] is the only place that we know of that has experienced a Fracture on this whole planet. The reason is unclear, as it happened before anyone lived there. That is all we know for now [[Backup transcript]] ''

''Cosmatrios is a distant planet, with a lot of strange things going on. It is a matriarchy, and an oligarchy, which has different beliefs about the world (and universe) then any religeon I know of on this planet. [[Backup transcript]] ''

''Excellent, I did find the right person after all. Well, let us continue.'' ... ...... .........? The transcript... it... ...cut of? Got corrupted? What happened to it? ??????? ''[[save them]]''

''Well, that is to be expected. After all, you might not have been the last person to remember after all. I wish you the best in your travels. Goodbye.''

''(text-colour:purple)[!!Emergancy backup protocol activated!! If you see this, it's too late to preserve it right now. You must find out what is causing this. The Fracture isn't the only thing that will happen. We were wrong. The Fracture is only the beginning. There are more steps depending on how big the Fracture is. Step 1: - The Fracture. Everything splits apart. Step 2: - The Lights. Everything is too overwhelming. Step 3: - The Noticing. The cosmos will not stand idle forever. Step 4: - The Remaking It all exists again, but it is different. Step 5: - The Unraveling This only happens if the Fracture is too big. The world is too unstable to continue existing. All will come undone if it is not stablized. If you cannot figure out how to stop it, then it is already too late. This existence is running out of time. The Rift will come, and it cannot be be stopped But it can still be stablized. This is your last chance to turn back.]'' [[Keep going]] [[Turn back]]

''(text-colour:purple)[Well, that is rather unexpected. Thank you, though, I must confess, I do not know... exactly... how to stablize the Rift. I just know it can be done. I also have a theory on how it can be stablized, however, it is very dangerous, and can only be done after the Rift has already occured. You must find the one who is responsible for causing it, and either convince them to stablize it... ...or kill them. It will be very hard either way, as someone able to cause an event so big that it unravels space and time itself, would be very powerful. You will not be able to do it alone. You will hae to find people who are willing to help, however you must inform them of the dangers beforehand. If you do not, then they will be rather frustrated with you.]'' I don't know if I'm the right person to ask to do something like this. ''(text-colour:purple)[If you have any doubts about your abilities, then leave every part of this here. Someone else may see it, and they might be able to stablize everything. Until then, you must do as much as you can to stablize this world. Find out what caused it. There may be answers in one of our sources, but we never connected the dots. Here are some sources that may help you.] [[Possible causes]] [[Possible solutions]] [[Possible connections]] [[Estimated time remaining]] [[Most likely places to survive]] [[Strange poem hinting at the existence of a solution]]''

''(text-colour:purple)[I completely understand. It is unfortunate though. I respect your choices. Goodbye]''

The Grove is a region of the world that was only discovered recently. It is the first discover ever of a Fracture. It has a lot of various creatures living there, but none of the creatures, or their ancestors, know where the Fractures came from. No one even knows when these fractures occured. [[Backup transcript]]

''(text-colour:purple)[A possible cause of the Fracture is that the world now contains too much power, but what //is// power? How do you define something like that? How you define something with a definition as loose as power? I do not have many theories on it. Unless... ...no...

And why did it turn into morse code? What did it say? [[Possible candidates]]

''(text-colour:purple)[Maybe if we stop it before it begins, then we'll stand a chance against it. Or at least be able to stop it from being as bad. I don't know what will cause this, so I don't know how to fix it, but, from what happened at The Grove, I think that it is safe to assume that the surface will be the most affected, so if everyone hides in bunkers, then it might lesser the dangers for them. We need to construct a bunker. You need to show whoever you can who is authorized to do so. Show them this show them or reports. Please.

''(text-colour:purple)[I do not know why I put this here. I do not know anything of the places this world will be stitched with.]''

''(text-colour:purple)[There is no way to tell for sure, but I think that it will happen very soon. It may happen earlier, it may happen later, there is no way to tell for sure. I believe that it will happen very soon though. I don't even know if I will have time to find a person who I can tell this. If anyone other than me sees this, please, tell someone. Show them this. Take them to The Grove. Please, just do anything. Action, however pointess, will always be better than inaction. Especially in a situation like this.]''

''(text-colour:purple)[I think that underground places would have the best chance of surviving the initial effects, but I think that it is important to consider the lasting effects that this will have on the world. I think that after the Fracture, the underground environment will also change. I don't know how, but I think it will.]''

(text-colour:cyan)[//"For all the lands, Let all the seas, All the sand, And all the trees, For you, I fracture, For me, you mend, To you, I beg, Never again… When all the strands have been connected, All of the worlds have been protected, When the future has looked never brighter, Is when the sky drips with ichor. Torn apart, the clouds will flee, Strung together, never free, Resting in their memory, Was a lovely melody. From deep in the past, Your memory will last, The first trace of twine, Throughout space and time. A guardian sent from the land above, A child who has never known love, A mind that will always see, Bound to an eternity, The songs of justice ring through the air, To those who wander, this is rare, To the higher, it is a challenge, From a spirit long left unbalanced, Like a moth drawn to flame, Or a serpent, catching its prey, From the sea, up the cliff face, Heard throughout all time and space, The vines now whisper, The birds will sing, Yet, the night is trembling, Hope takes flight, in their dreams, They are forever, left unfree, The screen is breaking, The facade is gone, Thrown away, cast aside, They always knew that it would rise, But, they were wrong, That was their demise. All stories intertwined, The very cosmos rewind in time, Any quarrels washed away, They just want to go home, anyway. A new strand has been tied, To the one who never lied, Falling upon a new set of eyes, Will all be saved, or meet their demise? Always standing idly by, Now your chance to finally shine, Stories written, magic found, To the web, your fate is bound. And now, it is clear, That finally, After all this time, The Rift is here."//] Cool poem, but I don't see how this is relevent. Ohhhhh, they did the infinite void scroll trick again! [[The truth]]

''(text-colour:purple)[I don't think that this will accomplish much, but I will keep doing this anyways. I think that it would be good to put a possible list of people that are causing this problem. ... I don't... ...have... ...anyone... ...to put on this list...]''

''(text-colour:purple)[I... ... have a confession to make. There is no way to stop it. There is no way to prevent it from happening. There is no way to save everyone. The only thing that can be done is accepting that it will happen. I'm sorry for leading you on. I'm sorry for betraying you. I'm sorry for giving you false hope. I just thought that... maybe //I// was the one doing something wrong, but... the deeper I got into this, the more I knew that... there was never a way to escape. I chose you, because I know you will survive. I know that //you// will remember. I know that you will be here, to find them. I saw across the stars... I saw through the mist...

Hi, If you see this, this is not the finished version of this story. This is merely the first concept of it, and it was made for an assignment, so this will not be //anywhere near// the story at it's later stages of dvelopment. With all that in mind, let's get onto the [[connection]]
