July 21st

531st Divine Year

On this fine July Sunday Morning, our resident Rogue Hero who was blasted from the future was sound asleep when someone suddenly barged into his hotel room.

Arthur, his silver hair catching the dim light of the room, strode in with the energy of someone who had been awake for hours.

“Wake the fuck up, Evan! Today we’re going to space!”

Evan groaned, blinked blearily at Arthur for a solid ten seconds, then, deciding this nonsense wasn’t worth his morning, rolled over and pulled the blanket over his head.

Out like a light.

Not long after, Jamie barged in with just as much enthusiasm.

“Wake the fuck up, Arthur and Evan! We’re going to space!”

Just like before, Evan peeked out from his blanket, his half-lidded eyes staring at Jamie in silence. Ten more seconds passed. Then, with a sigh, he turned his back to him and buried himself under the covers once again.

Unbothered by his ignoring them, Jamie and Arthur exchanged a glance, shrugged, and in perfect sync, yanked the blanket away and dragged Evan out of bed.

Naturally, Evan snapped.

“Why?!… Why would you wake me up on a Sunday morning to say, ‘We’re going to space?’ My body still aches from yesterday’s world-conquering battle!

Why would I want to go to space?!”

Arthur shrugged. “Because we can.”

“Yeah, obviously,” Jamie added.

Evan’s eye twitched at their nonchalant responses. He wanted to flip a table onto their faces but barely held himself back.

“Yeah, you can. I can’t survive in space like you two! You’ve got your cosmic powers, and I don’t!”

True. Arthur was a Sub-Cosmic being with a proven record of surviving fifteen days in outer space without a single issue, while Jamie, as a Deity, had a body built to withstand the vacuum.

Evan had neither of those advantages, meaning he naturally couldn’t survive in space.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

Evan stared at Jamie, deadpan.

“Yeah, no thanks. Even if you protect me from the vacuum of space, I still don’t want to go. There’s no reason for me to go to space!”

Arthur only laughed at Evan’s protests and continued explaining.

“We wanted to check out Aidos, but thought we’d have some fun in space first. You know, see the stars.”

Evan raised a brow, eyeing Arthur like he had lost his mind.

“I can see the stars from here. With a telescope. On the planet’s surface. Without me risking my life.”

Arthur merely shrugged at his logical rebuttal.

“I prefer the real thing.”

Evan pressed his fingers to his temple, shaking his head as his voice filled with exasperation.

“Why are you both like this-?”

Before he could finish his complaint, a thought struck him.

‘Wait a second. If I go to space, then wouldn’t I be able to confirm that…’

A memory surfaced in Evan’s mind—Laurene’s last birthday party, when he had jokingly told her he wanted to see a black hole while staring up at the night sky.

His eyes changed, a serious look suddenly appearing within them as he looked up at Jamie and asked.

“You said you could protect me, right? Can you take me close enough… deep into space?”

Jamie raised an eyebrow, momentarily thrown off by the sudden change in attitude. He and Arthur knew they were being unreasonable here.

They just had the thick skin to pretend they weren’t.

“Sure, but why?”

Evan’s next words were, without a doubt, the most ridiculous statement of the morning.

“I want to see a black hole.”

“…” “…”

Arthur and Jamie both froze, staring at him in silence.

“Wait.”

Arthur blinked, pointing at Evan as if he had just grown a second head.

“You do realize that’s the craziest thing any of us have said this morning, right?”

Jamie nodded, a laughing smile tugging at his lips.

“Yeah, by far.”

Evan ignored their reactions, sitting up as he responded.

“Yeah, yeah, my statement’s the craziest thing said this morning, whatever.”

He fixed them both with a serious look.

“Now, can you take me deep enough into space to see a black hole without dying, or not?”

“Well… yeah, we can,” Jamie answered.

Evan nodded in satisfaction. Without another word, he tossed off his blanket, shoved them both out of his room and slammed the door shut behind them.

“Give me exactly 2 minutes and 3 seconds.”

As he sensed Arthur and Jamie’s presences vanish, Evan leaned against the door, heaving a quiet sigh as he slid to the floor.

“No immediate battle or event is demanding my attention… In that case, I should finally take the time to think about everything I’ve been putting off for too long.

It’s about time I started actively going after answers.”

Running a hand through his hair, he exhaled and pushed himself to his feet, heading to the bathroom to wash his face and hair.

Afterwards, he opened his inventory and pulled out the first outfit he could grab—a dark grey t-shirt with a black undersleeve, black jeans, and monochrome sneakers.

‘I think Liz was the one who got this for me…’

The thought stirred a brief pang of melancholy, but he shook it off and swapped his clothes in an instant.

Stepping out of his room, he was immediately met with a giant portal staring him down. The familiar signature of Jamie’s magic radiated from it, making it obvious who had left it there.

Without hesitation, he stepped inside and emerged in Alvey’s office, all the way in Militopolis. When Jamie spotted him, he grinned mischievously and clapped his hands.

“Alright then, let’s go.”

In an instant, reality itself seemed to bend and warp around them. That single clap was all Jamie needed to activate his Authority, tearing open a portal to space.

But unlike the usual portals, this one didn’t appear in front of them—it opened beneath their feet.

The ground vanished, seemingly ripped from existence, and before anyone had a chance to react, Jamie sent them plummeting through the portal with the same reckless enthusiasm he’d shown barging into Evan’s room.

They rocketed through the spatial rift, tumbling through the tunnel as Jamie’s laughter echoed around them.

Arthur’s cosmic energy kept him perfectly fine despite the ever-intensifying cosmic energy concentration, while Evan—despite all his earlier protests—was wide-eyed in awe as Jamie’s protective aura surrounded him.

His heightened energy sensitivity allowed him to see it—the ambient magic power here wasn’t just intense, it was staggering.

The sheer concentration of energy around them spiked so high that even a Superior Transcendent would think twice before stepping foot there.

And this… this was just the raw, unfiltered energy of space.

‘The atmosphere of a planet did this much to filter out the surrounding energy?’

And even before that, the Star Stroay—Aramis’ sun—had already dampened a massive portion before any of it even reached the planet.

Back when he was thrown into the past, everything happened too quickly for him to fully feel the ambient energy in the spatial tunnel that blasted him from the future. But now?

‘This is fucking insane!’

That was the only thought running through his mind as Jamie’s spatial tunnel pulled them out of the Stroay Star System and into the depths of space.

When they emerged on the other side, an awe-inspiring sight greeted them. An endless stretch of stars, the vast expanse of space glittering in all its overwhelming glory.

Jamie snapped his fingers, and a bubble of cosmic energy surrounded them, stabilizing the environment and allowing them to breathe and speak as if they weren’t in the middle of a star-filled void.

Arthur took in the view, a grin spreading across his face before he let out a light laugh.

“This never gets old.”

Despite the countless interstellar and intergalactic journeys Arthur had undertaken, the sight of this vast field of stars—something that should have long since become mundane—never had. Not even once.

When he had made his journey to the Valmone universe, Arthur had seen such vast fields of stars for so long that he believed he had grown numb to them. But after spending months grounded on Aramis, enveloped in its atmosphere, its day-night cycles, that feeling changed.

Arthur had to admit that the sight before him had a timeless magic to it.

Beside him, Evan was silent, wide-eyed. It was his first time truly witnessing the stars in this way, of his own volition.

Last time, he had been swept through a spatial tunnel, moving through space and time in a blur that stretched over 10,000 years.

This was different.

Now, he was here, present, and seeing the stars not as mere streaks of light but as the glowing beacons of the universe they truly were. Even if partially covered, the awe on his face was unmistakable.

Evan stared in silent wonder at the brilliance surrounding them. His gaze drifted over the stars, and slowly, the dark patches of space between them began to shimmer.

Stars that had once been hidden from view now revealed themselves, their light finally reaching their eyes after untold aeons of travel through the vacuum.

These stars weren’t appearing out of nowhere—the three of them knew that well enough. They had always been there, their radiance merely delayed by the unfathomable vastness of space.

One by one, those distant lights filled the gaps, like scattered pinpricks weaving into a grander, galactic masterpiece.

The longer they drifted, the more stars blinked into view, forming an ever-expanding tapestry of shimmering brilliance.

“Welcome to space.

Hold on tight—we’re going for a ride.”

Jamie’s voice cut through the silence, and with his words, their interstellar journey truly began.

The cosmic energy bubble surrounding them surged forward, slicing through the vacuum like a fish gliding through water. Stars that once hung motionless in the distance blurred into elongated streaks, their glow stretching into radiant bands as they hurtled through the galaxy.

They could feel the immense pull of Jamie’s magic as he bent space itself, propelling them at incomprehensible speeds.

There was no sense of inertia, but the ever-shifting scenery around them made it clear just how fast they were moving.

Occasionally, they would experience brief moments of stillness—sudden pauses in their breakneck speed, lasting no more than a second or two—before being launched forward once again.

Arthur’s comprehension of the law of space let him understand what was happening. Evan, having already been hurled through space-time once before, could make an educated guess.

Each pause marked a break in their journey; they weren’t travelling in a straight line but skipping through space itself. Jamie was folding and warping space, creating shortcuts across unfathomable distances which allowed them to leap billions of kilometres in an instant.

With every jump, the stars shifted around them, and they appeared deeper into the galaxy, closer to its centre.

The cosmic energy bubble encasing them remained imperceptible to Evan, yet it continued to shield them from the overwhelming cosmic energy concentration as nebulae and stellar clusters zipped past in vibrant, multi-coloured streaks.

At last, they arrived at a point thousands of light-years from where they started, where the spiralling arms of their galaxy stretched out before them, their vast scale more staggering than ever.

The stars here seemed even denser, their light more intense.

Reaching the galaxy’s halfway point, Jamie finally brought them to a halt.

The two boys immediately had their attention captured by the logic-defying entity that floated in the void before them.

Arthur’s breath hitched at the sight. By every law of physics and the universe he understood, this thing before him should not exist.

Evan was similarly shocked. But mixed with his shocked expression was one of recognition.

He had seen this before—just never this close.

An enormous star, undisputedly supergiant even by the most liberal standards of cosmic proportions.

But this was no ball of plasma, no fusion-driven sun. This was something else entirely—a star made of pure, sparking lightning.

The enormous ball of crackling, electrical energy pulsed in the void, its jagged arcs of lightning dancing across its surface like a living storm.

It emitted an ethereal glow, illuminating the surrounding space with a sharp, electric brilliance that no ordinary star could match.

‘From my perspective, it’s already unimaginably massive, and I can’t even begin to fathom how many light-years away I actually am.’

As this thought ran through Evan’s mind, Jamie spoke, his words directed at Arthur, who was still staring at it in disbelief.

“You probably haven’t seen this before, Arthur.”

Arthur shook his head, still struggling to grasp the sheer enormity of what lay before him.

“This, is the marvel of the Orithya galaxy. A wonder of the Valmone universe. Nowhere else in the universe would you find such a thing.”

Jamie declared with a sweeping gesture, pointing at the behemoth star as he called out its name.

“The Star of Lightning.”
