To those who had taken up Helena’s offer, the journey away from the Nexus would be filled with wonder. Star light shined all around them as one by one, those chosen few found their bodies, souls, and minds lifted from the tethering grip of the Nexus. Not even the mass coils of the Great Snake nor the mysterious forces circling the dimension could stop the mass exodus into a new world and a new life. One by one the funnels of light carried each participant over and between their individual rays they would see the spiraling flickers of infinity all around.
So too would they also witness the
Nexus in its grand entirety. The titanic-sized scales of the Great Snake wrapping around the isolated space was only off-put by the slithering of
something within the darkness of space. Something equally massive but no less invisible to the mortal eye; yet that was no longer the concern of those departed. In moments, they were gone from this side of the cosmos, brought into the atmosphere of a new reality, one that had been untouched by the Nexus’ influence.
With the clouds breaking all around them, these traveling beings would enter a place of second chances and possibly even redemption. For all extents and purposes, this plane was aptly named the
Happy Verse. The flumes of light each individual was traveling in would slowly halt before gently depositing them in random locations of the high-sprung city. The air was clear for once, no longer reeking of war and bloodshed.
Perhaps the most striking discovery of this new land were the rather strange occupants. Indeed, almost every living creature looked to be strange and unique in their own way, as if they too had just now fled from the Nexus. Some of them looked to be Angels, Demons, Machina, creatures never seen before…and cats. Lots and lots of cats, going about their business and engaging in their daily activities. For despite the shape or form, all of them carried on as if this was normal life.
And for them, it was normalcy in its sublime nature. A universe untouched by the Nexus and, hopefully, gone from the eyes of the mad gods who had built that place of strifing conflict. The rules were different now and for those arriving from the Nexus, witnessing a civilization that was not reliant on warring among one another or mindless conquest was perhaps a bit stifling.
New rules were in place and it would take some adjusting to settle in. Problems that were once non-applicable, such as mortgages, taxes, jobs, and community service, were suddenly the newfound and governing reality. Nevertheless, it was the promise Helena had made and so she had kept her word. Few things could threaten this budding land of peace.
