The End Is Nigh

How are we all?

Are we all nervous? Terrified, even? Are we all dreading December 21st, the last day on Earth as predicted by the Mayans? Although, as Jon Stewart pointed out on The Daily Show, the Mayans haven't exactly got the best track record as far as predicting the end of civilisations go... to wit, the Mayans...

But I digress.

So how will you be spending the last day on Earth? Will you be surrounded by loved ones? Will you be sobbing into a tub of ice cream? Will you, in fact, forget all about the end of the world because you still haven't got your Christmas shopping done?

Or will you be reading a very special end-of-the-world short story as posted on this very Blog- a short story that will ONLY be available on the 21st and 22nd before being taken down-  in which Skulduggery and Valkyrie track down the cause of the world's destruction and do their very best to avert it? A short story called "The Button"?

Hmm? Is THAT what you'll be doing?

I can still flip! I jumped and spun! And I was using my other arm...

Ah, so we are the mighty audience of a fight.
Yes Nagier. Have no idea how you turn into h- i mean Nagier becomes... whatever..

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

OK.
Who made Nix angry?

Nixion Strange said...

I'm the child of a Faceless One
For some reason, the mixture of human and Faceless One makes me more powerful. Guess the natural magic mixed together created some kind of awesome Faceless One with a face

Jophiel said...

*Glares at Nix and infuses magic with it*
Die!!!

Hi Miss Cain!

Death did. She said she could take him. I warned her, he warned her...

Hi Thrust and Miss.

Yes, Death, you ARE Godmodding.

That, Faceless One Nix, is cool.

It was the hand...

Because that's SOOO much better...

Tell that to nix, Kes.
Um, I'm just going to repeat what i said before..
In fact, in fact I'm sure since the HAVE faces, now they have to sit down and explain how the hell the allow themselves to even be called that
to all their enemies before they get the cahnce to kill them.

Well, one can kill you, the other is a warning shot...

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Thrust, if you mean the book, good. If you mean the weapon, it doesn't work on me

Jophiel said...

She fell backwards

Nixion Strange said...

I can't die

Zathract Mist said...

As I said, Nagier is a separate entity to me.

What happened was Zathract used to be this angry person with a short temper and had to steal food to survive.
Something in the future - which I won't mention now because it will be explained in later Zathract Mist chapters - makes Zathract snap. He loses his mind and becomes insane. For a few years, he was what Nix was; an insane murderer. Only he was more aggressive and more efficient than Nix was. His anger and rage and darkness consumed him and he became what we know as Nagier.
After his fuel and rage was burned up, Zathract eventually regained control of himself (so pretty much like Vile). But during the time that he was what we know as Nagier, his anger and rage had grown and thrived, and regaining control was not something so simple. He had too much rage and darkness inside his body and mind to contain with anything else.

So all of it was expelled from his body and reformed into a different being and manifested into something identical to Zathract. With, uh, red eyes. Because red eyes are awesome.

So Nagier is a different being, the manifestation of all of Zathract's old rage and evil and hate. So Nagier is the evil criminal and Zathract is now the nice person that is seen in Nix and Mist. Because he barely has any anger left in him now, he's rarely enraged.

But now, because the two are different beings, they are still linked. They may be separate entities, but are still apart of something that was once joined. So when Zathract killed Nagier, he was revived, anchored to Zathract still being alive.
If Zathract dies, a similar thing will happen. So neither can die until natural causes takes one/both of them.

I think that's it...

But it's the SCEPTRE!

Mist, ooooohhhh....


I thought it was like, your true name. That is COOL.

Nixion Strange said...

My conscience is in my magic. My magic doesn't die when my body does. So my magic just regenerates my entire body

Nixion Strange said...

So Nix was a happy insane murderer who went angry after, and Mist was an angry insane murderer who went happy after
Kinda weird

Anonymous said...

You mean consciousness? Because I wouldn't think that a part-Faceless-One would have a conscience...

Jophiel said...

Look! You killed her!!!!!
*Gets angry*
Now I am useless shadow!!!!!!!!!!
*Rips away from Death's body*
And now we all know not to mess with Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

Fine, whatever Kes

Zathract Mist said...

Oh balls, the True Name. I forgot about that...

TWO SECONDS.

Jophiel said...

Have you ever seen a shadow without it's body?! It goes haywire!!!!!! It's like a gist but worse!!!!!
*Screeches*
*Starts ripping things*

Zathract Mist said...

Another thing. When Nagier was transferred into a separate entity, he took all the things that Zathract knew and more. Because he is all the rage that Zathract had once had, that means that Nagier was also Zathract's subconscious before he went insane and lost himself to the rage. So now, Nagier knows Zathract's True Name, because Nagier WAS Zathract's subconscious, which is where his True Name was.

And now, because Nagier is a completely different person now - however linked they may be - he has a True Name of his own too. He doesn't know his True Name, though. So Nagier has the power of someone who has found their True Name, and has yet to find his own True Name.

Anonymous said...

Does Mist know Nagier's true name?

Zathract Mist said...

No.

Sorry, this needs further explaining.

'Nagier' is Zathract's True Name. He went and got that sealed. No one knows Nagier's True Name.

Jophiel said...

So of Naiger learns his True Name, he will be twice as strong because he is your True Name

Anonymous said...

Oh....I think I get it.

Jophiel said...

Oh, that was a question

Zathract Mist said...

Exactly, Death.

Nagier has the power of someone who has learnt their True Name and he can use it like that.
But if he finds out his own True Name, he'll be amplified with that power. It'd be devastating.

...Devastating. *grins*

HELLO.



People who make you do the weird dress check thingies are weird.

Jophiel said...

I dedicate this page to Eden Threatening!
Yeah, I've dedicated to him a lot! I know, I know! I do hear the voices saying "why don't you dedicate to the people who were murdered in America?" or "how about something that everyone one will know and enjoy?". The answer is that that is the thing that everyone thinks that is what deserves to be dedicated to.
But Eden Threateing deserves millions of dedications! He is sweet, caring, trusting and most of all, my best friend.
He hasn't been on in forever but yesterday that changed!

So I dedicate this page to my best friend, Eden Threatening!

Jophiel said...

I agree!
