## Chronicles

### The return

The hard-earned peace of the server members did not last for long. The restless spirit of ABC kept on prodding and poking, making its way into the world of the living. Despite the shared efforts to ward off the evil spirit, its presence in the realm of the living grew. The deceased spirit began to claim himself to be emperor, a notion that few paid any mind to at first, but which gradually gained weight.

At some point, the self-proclaimed emperor ABC became corporeal enough to strike. He challenged the rulership of Queen Adsa and began to peacefully behead and gain over her people. He dubbed the victims his knights and claimed that they had voluntarily consented to beheading.

Finally, he invited the Queen herself to voluntarily accept decapitation. At first, the Queen resisted, rejecting ABC's claims on her kingdom. However, one by one, all her most loyal subjects and advisors had taken his side. Even her royal advisor, gizmos, revealed that she had been supporting ABC all along.

**The takeover**

The Queen called for help in her moment of need. But no one was there to answer her calls. All her subjects had left her. And she was all alone, stripped of her kingdom. And so, she resigned herself to decapitation and took a position as a knight of the new emperor, ABC. And thus, his take-over was complete.

Aivy declared herself to be the Queen of another kingdom, one that was an ally and supporter of ABC's empire. Plasma was her knight. When Sammy, a former strong supporter of Queen Adsa, learned of her downfall, he left her side to find a new Queen... and swore fealty to Aivy instead.

Pablo was strongly disheartened to learn that he was not present when the Queen was in need and that his arch-rival had taken over. He attempted to convince people to leave ABC's side, but his efforts were in vain... some were too loyal to be swayed, and others felt too much fear or resignation.

ABC's reign of terror began in full. He suggested doing mock executions and made various attempts to baldify most citizens of the kingdom. His word was absolute and none would dare defy him.

### The suicide

In an attempt to summon Lyubo, Smith used up much of her lifespan and was on the verge of death. In a last minute attempt to save her, ABC decided to kill himself, visit Yama in the underworld, and bargain with him to extend Smith's lifespan.

In tears, Smith watched ABC knife himself, when suddenly, she had a brilliant idea. She should die along with him! And so, the two of them parted from life together and continued to haunt the server only in the form of ghosts.

Although Pablo was happy about ABC's demise, he felt sad to see Smith go. He suggested having Kako use magic to resurrect Smith, which she had apparently managed before. There were, however, concerns that it is only possible to bring the two of them back together.

Gizmos mourned for ABC's death and felt betrayed when Pablo suggested the world may be better off without a crazy emperor to chop off people's heads. She argued the benefits of being headless... such as that you do not have to worry about what kind of pillow you rest your head on.

### The oracles

The haunting of the deceased began to take on a scary tone with names getting randomly changed and sadness being enforced. Pablo suggested to rile up and force out the ghosts by saying things to make them angry...

And when Adsa declared that Maruna and Akasha are not a couple, she finally got a response. An oracle from who seemed to be the ghost of ABC. However, this being claimed to be a transcendental from the future, one who had never been to hell. This oracle told Adsa that in order for the universe to survive, it is crucial for Pablo to behead himself. Pablo attempted to convince Adsa that the oracle was fake and received from a malicious demon.

Pablo admitted to also be receiving confusing oracles. He had been told that all shrooms must perish for the universe to survive, which he interpreted as an agenda against drugs. But then the oracle changed to "everyone on the server must listen to sejo 24/7". Pablo believed that perhaps the word "sejo" is what gods use instead of the word "heart" and thus they have been instructed to listen to their heart.

Meanwhile, Adsa received an oracle from god telling her that there must be regular executions but then it oddly changed and asked her to spread love and joy. She and Pablo contemplated that perhaps beheading is also a metaphor for staying level-headed. The transmission from the god realm might be bad and distorting words and meaning.

### The sacrifice

It seemed that all had been resolved until Adsa received another oracle, this time from who claimed to be the future empress Adsa. It declared that she absolutely must behead Pablo for the survival of the universe and that in this way she would become Empress and be able to rule her Empire with peace, happiness, and stability.

With great pain in her heart, Adsa apologized to Pablo and cut off his head. Thus Pablo joined the realm of the ghosts. Adsa declared herself Empress and reveled in her newfound power, eager to work for the benefit of her people and to ensure the much needed peace and stability within the Empire. The other members of the empire slowly began to realize what has happened, with Vaish being especially confused.

The spirit of Pablo had become a vengeful revenant insistent on bringing about the death of the one who took his life. Pablo began to send mystical messages in the form of reactions and name changes... all prodding in the direction of the death of the current Empress. Vaish seemed slightly hesitant whether to follow these nudges.

### The tragedy

Just when it seemed that the threat had been averted and no more death would follow, two assassins appeared out of nowhere, Andraker and Sammy. Andraker was first to deliver to final blow and the empress was defenseless, and thus, her life came to an end.

It had been revealed that both of them had heard whispers from the vengeful spirit of Pablo, egging them on to execute Adsa. And thus there was death everywhere. The ghost of Pablo greeted Adsa in the afterlife, scolding her for her foolishness in following the fake oracle. Adsa mourned Pablo's detrimental decision which doomed the empire to a future of chaos due to her being unlawfully deposed.

Sammy declared that he has the power to resurrect people which he promptly used to bring back Smith. Upon learning of the events that transpired while she was gone and the pain that Pablo had to suffer, she turned the head of the deceased Adsa into a pumpkin and thanks to this sacrifice she was able to resurrect ABC once more.

Adsa and Pablo remain dead... observing the injustice left behind after their departure.
