Leightown Cold Case

**Leightown Cold Case** is a Story Arc of the Exteria Multiverse. It takes place in Interra and follows the perspective of the wandering Silver Noachia.

## Main Arc

### Sweet Summer Days

Silver and his cousin Marjie Powell, two young students, are to spend summer together in Leightown during summer break, with their uncle Stan and his daughter Tina Miller. However, it becomes quickly apparent that Silver is a metanarrative entity, able to understand his nature as a fictional character, and as such is unable to take most events seriously, playing everything off as a 'way to advance the plot'.

Silver, as expected of a self-proclaimed main character, becomes quickly caught up in Leightown's many stories, rescuing Tina from a cabal of flesh-eating witches during solstice and becoming aware of the many supernatural horrors hauting Leightown. Quickly, he dedudes that Leightown is the crux of many supernatural forces, and attempts to uncover their nature, believing a force of chaos to be behind them all.

### Allies and Enemies

After a few adventures, Silver encounters Gladys du Berault, his first girlfriend in another world. Silver, upon witnessing her incredible abilities, investigates her and finds she is the daughter of the town's mayor, who turns out to be a talented exorcist. Silver, alongside Tina and Marjie, trains to be an exorcist and eventually earns his title after confronting strange demons, byproducts of Leptys Horenheim's experiments.

Silver's adventures also causes him to encounter Tiarra Garlick, a snobbish young girl who is a daughter to the ruling Garlick family, aristocrats and witches who borrow the Nothing's powers, and Tasigur, a mysterious young being - appearing in both male and female guises - who seems determined to destroy him. Silver deduces he is tied to the chaotic entity that haunts Leightown, the powerful chaos deity Ada Raines.

### Ghosts of Leightown's Past

Silver uncovers a demonic conspiracy and meets with the Countess, a whimsical demon who agrees to train Marjie; discovers that Gladys's immense abilities come from her ties to a race of bee-like humanoids and her nature as a queen bee; and ends up trapped in an alternate-dimension factory alongside a lost ghost, Isabelle, who has lost most of her identity and acts as a curse upon the town.

Silver, having awakened some form of understanding and appreciation for the storyline he is in, resorts to desperate measures to save Isabelle, using his own body as a vessel and making a deal with Comtesse and Leptys in order to grant Isabelle a body of her own. After succeeding in this, Silver's next adventure is tied with Tiarra, who has lost memories of one of her first childhood friends.

Silver discovers that said friend was a member of the Merfolk, and as such a supernatural being, that Tiarra's parents strive to hide. Silver thus unveils a vast conspiracy that shows Leightown to be the epicenter of powerful magical forces, which the Garlick contain through occult rituals. Silver lashes out at the Garlick, but only succeeds by doing so in releasing part of the seal, allowing Ada to express herself.

### To the Silver World

Despite Silver's best efforts and discovery of the ties that link Tina and the artificial entity Exteria, he is unable to contain Ada's emergence. Ada, instead of fighting Silver, elects to teleport him and his companions to an alternate reality, a crystallized Interra that was perfected by Nana's ascent as a deity, as a way to play with him and challenge Silver's abilities. However, by doing so, Ada allows Exteria to weaken her as well.

Silver and Ada are forced to team up as a result to face a variety of challenges and, with the help from Regulus, a wandering Lunarean warrior searching for memories lost in that world, manage to find Gladys and Isabelle and rescue them. Further interference - from Sarah Duncan, an entity deeply connected to Silver - allows Silver to find the positions of Marjie and Tiarra, as well as a final path towards Tasigur.

Silver, upon finding Tasigur, understands their true predicament as a broken metanarrative entity as well; a remnant of the shell of **Max Baxter**, a character forsaken by their creator, and contaminated as a result. Silver faces off against Tasigur's darkness and destroys it, showcasing his progress as an individual and newfound respect for those who live alongside him; by doing so, he shatters the last curse and returns to Leightown, victorious.
