So, looks like the majority of you agreed that I should be the one to tell this story, huh? Thanks. No, really. It… means a lot that you guys trusted me with this narrative. Like, I got kinda choked up reading some of these messages? What can I say. Guess I’m not the only wordsmith around, ha...

But hey, I also want to thank the people who didn’t vote for me because they were worried that this was gonna screw up me or my stories. That meant a lot, too. And for those of you who had a different favorite, how’s this: you can write up some AUs where the Narrator possesses somebody else instead, and I’ll, like, review them all when I get back!

…When I get back.

Whew.

Goosebumps…

Ha, don’t worry, I’m not about to get, like, stage fright. But I’d have to be pretty clueless NOT to be a little freaked out, yeah? This IS the Narrator we’re talking about. Not to mention that the stakes are pretty damn high for all our Remnants!

Still, the Autumn Oracle and I put a lot of work into revising the Mystic Initiation script into something that won't have any loopholes or whatever for him to exploit. And anyway, I really don’t think he’s gonna aim for a villain backstabbing twist or traditional revenge plot here?

Nah, my gut says he’s angling for the coveted redemption arc. So keep an eye out for that – you can use it. Pull on HIS strings for a change…

cCcrAcKle......

Okay, looks like The Acolytes are lighting the torches – it’s almost showtime. Better gulp down one last coffee while I can! Ahhhh.

Here, Veilious, could you guys take the cup? Narrator may be using my body, but he does NOT get to use my favorite mug. And you all be good with Dollmaker, okay? Don’t walk all over him – OR my desk! I don’t want to come back and find all my WIPs covered in ink and pawprints – Aww, you want some final cuddles? Psh, c’mere. I’ll miss you all, too–

SHOOOOOOM....

Welp. That’s my cue.

Time to start a new chapter… and bring another to a close.

Huh, wild. It feels like my pulse is vibrating in time to the flickering flames… And the whole floor of the Fallen Temple is trembling! Nice.

And… Oh. I can see the silhouette of the Narrator's castle looming out of the shadows of the prophecy flames. Something to keep me from getting homesick, at least…

SHHOOOOOOOMMM

WOAH, what a rush! My whole body feels, like, practically SPOTLIT with power!

And… I can feel someone out there, distant, reaching…

Yeah. I’d recognize that editorial touch anywhere.

Hey, Narrator.

Ready to hear my latest script?

I offer my body as a vessel to my chosen God, for as long as I hold my willing faith inside my soul!

Through my transformation, I pledge to channel His powers!

Through my words, I pledge to be His voice!

Through the changing Seasons, I am a soldier in my own right -

All right, now to call on him specifically with Shadow Stage magic… Ha! Now THIS is fun!

And through the changing chapters, I am an actor in my own right!

By those rights, I choose to channel His divinity! I choose to take center stage!

C-C’mon… N-Narrator! J-Just a… little more…!

The ancestry of the Shadow Stage and the blessings of the Golden Colosseum are alive within me!

Witness the creation of a new Role, of a new Mystic –

AND LET THE CURTAIN RISE ON THE FINAL ACT OF A DYING GOD!
