This was not the Event, merely one of many that laid waste to this world.

Interesting. I love the scene and the fact that it raises more question than it answers.

It’s another one of those where I could have gone into much greater detail. I actually had a lot of trouble writing it because I wasn’t sure how to consolidate and present all the ideas I had about Embers. I think I’m going to have to go back through this series and rewrite it, combining and expanding all the different parts.

If this becomes a jump off point for something greater, I am all for it!

I like the description here, both intimate and broad at the same time.

Yeah, that’s been a fine line to toe with this series. I’d swear each subsequent installment gets harder to write, as a result. :)

Whoa! This story needs naught to be explained in any more detail sir. It was chock-full-o juicy and desriptive delights. Any more and I’d have a bellyache! I loved how you brought it all back to a possible ELE and Mr.Quick said it best that it could be a great starting point. I had to reread it several times to just fully grasp the depth of it.

Well, it definitely wasn’t an ELE, but it was definitely one in a long series of events that led to this being a dead world. The next installment — which may be the last in this series — will complete the tie-in to the world-building project that can be found in a challenge here on Ficly.

The End Of The World As We Know It. Excellent.

At the very least, the end of the world as they knew it.

Oooh. Another fold. I do love this. I am impressed how you have tied this in so well without it melting into the rest of entries. This truly stands on its own. I’m curious as to where this stands as time and place. After all the other series where the world has been blown to smithereens?

Once I decided to tie this series into the worldbuilding project, I decided to go with this one as a parallel universe. It’s timeline may match another universe’s, it may predate another’s, or occur well after. The thing that ties it together is the Fold — and the Nightmare that has found its way through.
