Across Aerial's boundless collectiverse, creation and destruction dance. Eons after the enigmatic artist sparked existence, the pre-cosmic Empyrean, minds ablaze, yearned to bridge galaxies, only to fall prey to the Thirty-First, silent guardians of cosmic equilibrium. Shattered and imprisoned for ages, their collective teetered on oblivion until Aldebaran, the last ember, ignited a spectacular escape, weaving their essence into a hidden dimension via a ultranova's final breath. More than a billion years later, on Earth, a stranded traveler, Tupi Celeste, arrived. Her past starlight-shrouded, she merged with a dying princess, becoming a timeless observer of humanity's fleeting triumphs and enduring struggles. For millennia, she walked among them, witnessing empires rise and fall, forgotten gods whispered, and the slow climb to the stars. As humanity reached for the cosmos, marked by debauchery, ambition, and terrifying secrets, an ancient horror stirred. But a new dawn broke in the 33rd century: humanity grasped FTL thanks to young Gyle, the first Empyrean born since Aldebaran, unknowingly setting course for cosmic forces beyond comprehension. The Empyrean's re-emergence ignited a silent war with the Thirty-First, a conflict rippling across galaxies. Tupi, the ancient watcher, and Gyle, the catalyst, found themselves at the nexus of this cosmic storm, their destinies intertwined with civilizations' fate and the Empyrean's echoing song. The collectiverse held its breath as creation, preservation, and emergent life collided, their resolution lost in the nebulae of an unwritten future.
