Dimensio

*Pronunciation: **dee - men - see - o***

**Dimensio** was born in an unknown date, and still li**v**es to this day. He's a multi-dimensional jester and psychopathic magician that likes to mess with people. His way of talking often annoys people however, he can be very friendly. He turns evil when threatened and, well, *99%* of the times, no one stays alive to document his dark side.

### History

According to storytellers, Dimensio had slaughtered the Tribe of Darkness on his own. Whi**l**e he was turned down once, he was hired after an Ancient read about someone having a similar role in the Profeticus Tenebrae. Any other information related to his past is limited and contradictory. One of the storyletters' stories implies that Dimensio may be related to the magician who created the Shining Prisms. Regardless of his exact role in the Profeticus Tenebrae, Dimensio quickly became involved in the Ancient's attempt to fulfill it, if only for his own ends.

Overall, Dimensio looks like a jester or harlequin. He primarily wears a cap and cape with purple and light-yellow stripes, with the purple striped portions of the cap containing jingle bells on each end. Underneath the cape, he has two black hands, as well as black pointy-ended shoes. While levitating, he bends his shoes and tucks his black hands underneath his cloak. His face is stylized after a theatrical mask, split in half so that the right side is white and the left side is black. The eyes likewise are differently colored: black for the right eye, and yellow for the left. He often grins.

Dimensio initially appeared in Iaddithis as a lighthearted villain, but also shows a psychopathic side. He is very mischievous, and gets most of his information by eavesdropping on others, often with external help, too. He often speaks in a mocking or condescending manner and constantly smiles, only breaking his grin upon defeat. He has a very colorful style of speech, often throwing gleeful insults at the people he meets. He peppers his speech with catch-phrases like *"It's showtime!"*. He also has a tendency to bid people farewell with a *"Ciao!"*. Dimensio is intelligent and a skilled actor and trickster, being able to fool all of his peers into believing his loyalty is true. Dimensio is rather sadistic, taking pleasure in attacking his enemies and ending the games of those who he deems unworthy. He is also very arrogant, never believing there was even a chance of him failing to get his hands on whatever he wanted. Dimensio only cares about himself, he only tolerates or values people on the basis of how useful they are.

### *References*

No one knows exactly who and most importantly, what he is, but he proclaims himself as a jester who knows things that others often don't.

1. Storytellers' "Dimensio" story reads:

> "I don't know where he comes from or who he is... But I hear he approached and befriended him all on his own. And he even turned him away once... Until he read in the Profeticus Tenebrae about the role of someone similar... Why was he mentioned in the Tenebrae? Sounds fishy to me!

## *A Journey Into the Shadow Realm*

*Make sure to check Ratatouille's wiki page for context!*

Dimensio, after attending a ritual near one of Qamari Sultanate's most important landmarks, felt funny, and started coughing. However, he felt good after a couple minutes. The ritual failed miserably, with Dimensio, De'Moda, Bob Carrot and SimplyJustLazy being victims of it, although, only Dimensio and Bob were going insane. Voices started speaking into their heads, and screams of damned souls, pro**b**ably coming from another dimension, started filling the silence in the head of both. They weren't able to think properly. Bob was almost passing out, but Flav Syrius Maj' bursted into the crowd and started giving him some potions to help his recovery. However, for Dimensio, it was worse. Dimensio, after that De'Moda was smitten by a thunderbolt, felt an unimaginable pain in his right arm, and saw a crack on his mask. He was starting to panic, but hopefully Petra Qamari helped him calm down.

### *Bob suddenly Vanished*

After the first try of the ritu**a**l failed, the group formed by Bob, Dimensio, De'Moda and some others, tried again, this time at sunset, as they thought that the Moon was related to everything that was happening. Qamari's Sultanate is the Moon nation, after all. This time, the ritual succeeded. The Moon was related, indeed. However, after SimplyJustLazy left his position next to the altar, Bob started speaking in an unknown language. At least, unknown to the people standing there. But not for Dimensio.

What Bob was saying was:

> " ***ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍊𝙹╎ᓵᒷᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ᓵᔑꖎꖎ╎リ⊣ ᒲᒷ, ╎ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ⎓𝙹ꖎꖎ𝙹∴ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᒲ, リ𝙹 ᒲᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣***. "
>
>

Dimensio quickly understood some parts of the sentence, but he wasn't able to understand the very last part, and so, no one could know what Bob was truly saying. After that, Bob v**a**nished, falling in a pitch-black rift that had opened right behind him.

### *Dimensio is Gone, Too*

When Bob vanished, everyone was crying, screaming and trying to think about a way to get him back, but everything was useless. Bob was not going to come back. After that, the arm pain from some moments ago returned, this time stronger than before. Dimensio fell on the sand, not breathing. Then, right under him, the exact same rift, opened, and took him away, just like what happened to Bob.

### *The Awakening*

Dimensio, after being dragged into the rift, found himself in the middle of darkness, with almost no light around him, besides the shining light of a huge blue moon. It wasn't the same as the Earth. It was at least 200 times closer, just like another planet, a couple kilometers away. He tried to figure out where he landed, and started rolling down a hill, which leaded him near a ruined machine. That ruined machine was very similar to the Altar from moments before, but it seemed like 1000 years had passed since then. Wandering around the area, he heard a scream. It was Bob. He had finally found him, after countless hours of walking. He was crying, shaking, screaming. His hands we**r**e in his hair, just like a crazy person suffering from schizophrenia.

### *Strange Sentences*

As Dimensio got closer to Bob, he started hearing a voice. It was very similar to what Bob said before vanishing, and it said:

> "***╎ ∴𝙹リ'ℸ ̣  ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹!¡, ⚍リℸ ̣ ╎ꖎ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣  i ∴ᔑリℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ↸𝙹 ╎ᓭ ᓵ𝙹ᒲ!¡ꖎᒷℸ ̣ ᒷ↸***. "
>
>

> " ***||𝙹⚍ ʖᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ , ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ𝙹リᒷ ᓵ𝙹⚍ꖎ↸ ʖᒷ ᒷᔑ⍊ᒷᓭ↸∷𝙹!¡!¡╎リ⊣***. "
>
>

>
>

> " ***⍑╎リℸ ̣ ᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ᒷ⍊ᒷ∷||∴⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ, ᔑリ↸ リᔑᒲᒷᓭ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ᓵ𝙹ᒲᒷ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ , ᓭ𝙹𝙹リ***. "
>
>

> " ***⎓∷𝙹ᒲ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ v𝙹╎↸, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓵ╎∷ᓵ⚍ᓭ ⍑𝙹∷リᓭ, !¡∷𝙹ᓵꖎᔑ╎ᒲ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ !¡𝙹∴ᒷ∷ ∷⚍ᓭ⍑╎リ⊣***. "
>
>

Five sentences, that were difficult to understand, even for Dimensio himself. However, he managed to translate the first one, and it said:

> " ***I won't stop, until what I want to do is completed***. "
>
>

As of now, Dimensio is still near Bob, and they are now trying to find a way to get out of the world they were dragged in. No one knows if they will make it, but time's ticking faster than ever.

### *The Dark Veil*

*The Dark Veil has been removed.*

After Dimensio and Bob walked up the staircase, they found themselves at the entrance of a huge Cathedral, seemingly abandoned since thousands of years ago. The entrance was locked, but they eventually forced their way in, breaking the doors in half. they were at the beginning of a long aisle. They started walking in a straight line, examining the seats of the Cathedral. They were empty, but a strong energy could be felt when near them. As they got closer and closer to the altar, at the end of the aisle, a light of scarlet red could be seen. It was getting brighter every step they took.

*Minutes go by...*

They found themselves lost in their minds and didn't notice that they were right in front of the altar. They then looked up, and through the stained glass they saw the Moon. *It wasn't a **Normal Moon**... It was colored with a blood red shade, shining... almost emitting a malicious energy.*

> ***"We have to get out of this place." - I said to Bob.***
> ***"You're right, let's be quick." - He answered.***
>
>

As they got out of the Cathedral, the entrance was instantly blocked by a wood beam, which made them unable to get inside again.

## *Returning to the Sultanate*

Dimensio and Bob finally came back from the Shadow Realm with the help of Qamari's Greatest Inventor, Alpha, which created a force field around the weird altar that made Dimensio and Bob vanish. As both of them came back from their long journey, they were instantly called in the presence of R'Roman Qamari, Sultan of the Nation. Dimensio started explaining everything that happened, and brought with him a weird Gem. It emitted a strange power, that instantly drove R'Roman crazy for some seconds, after holding it, and he suddenly passed out.

Not much time passed after R'Roman's awakening, and right after, his son, Bob, helped him get up and brought him to his bedroom, to let him rest. After that, Petra Qamari, the Nation's Scribe, *which we will call* ***The Moon Scribe***, asked for Dimensio's and Bob's presence at her house, to let them inspect the weird changes around it. It seemed like the area surrounding Petra's house was slowly corrupting itself, and no one knew from where it started. With this details in mind, Dimensio thought that Shu was needed, and so he went to Ethea, Solaris' Capital, calling him for support.

### *A Government Position: The Secretary for Trade*

Recently, because of the interest Dimensio has shown, regarding the trading routes, and market stalls in Tarout, he has been granted the position of "Secretary for Trade", by the Sultan, R'Roman.

It's now time for the Sultanate to enter a new marketing era, and Dimensio will make sure that it will happen, soon.

## *The Rescue Mission*

### *A Strange Mail*

Dimens*i*o has been welcomed to his house in Al Janubia, Capi*t*al of the Qamari *S*ultanate, by a strange letter... or, to be precise, a notebook. It *h*as only one page. The content of this notebook is *mysterious*, *a*nd, for some, *u*nsettling.

Written both i*n* the global language, and bo*t*h with a strange symbol*i*sm. He has see*n* this writings somewhere... but **where**... It says:

> ***Myst in the Shadows***
>
>

> ***ᒲ||ᓭℸ ̣ ╎リ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓭ⍑ᔑ↸𝙹∴ᓭ***
>
>

He has been able to translate the writin*g*s with the help of his dear friend, Bob. For some strange reason, the translation is **Myst in the Shadows**.
*Why would someone use an enchanted language, so hard to translate, just to write the same thing twice?* I will sleep now, but I can't stop thinking about this. *Who could've sent it, and most importantly...*

> **Why was it sent to *ME*?**
>
>

Some da*y*s later, after the bloodbath Dimensio caused in Liberatum, Liberum's t*o*wn, fulfilling his role as Bandit, he headed back to Al Jan*u*bia, and, as he always did during these days, he checked the m*a*ilbox and found another st*r*ange notebook. This time it was **diff*e*rent**.
It had 100 pages, but not every single one was written. There was a seem*i*ngly coded message, scattered betwee*n* the pages of the notebook, saying:

> ***STOP GIVE "IT" , BACK - TO . , THE / , , ,***
>
>

However, there was no "secon*d* message", *a*s before. Looks like it's referring to a*n* Item... an item that must be retrieved to its ri*g*htful own*e*r... But who..? That is the most impo*r*tant question. He soon figured what Item must be retrieved. The Gem that he found in the **Shadow Realm**. He, however, still didn't realize *w*hy, between the words, there were some punctu*a*tion and slashes symbols, bu*t* the *c*ore of the message was t*h*at the Gem he now *o*wned, must've been retrieved to its owner.

It'll be a long ride, b*u*t let's see how this is going to develop. For now, He won't take out the Gem from his vaul*t*, but he will probably be forced to do that. He's not scared, but worried.

The energy that it emits could be dangerous, and *it's starting to look instable*.

***Flashback**:* *Before he found this next notebook, strange, and worrying things happened. he felt cold... very cold... Eyes, ears and a mouth appeared around his house, and near Qamari's statue. He was scared, very scared. The mouth managed to say something, but it was gibberish, so he wasn't able to understand.* *It said:*

> ***"Jika'tellu Waidensenshu. Gakutau korejan'ne, ahauraka, jitku."***
>
>

*He understood nothing.*

After some weeks, he have received a strange map, through his mailbox, in Al Janubia, Capital of the Qamari Sultanate. It looked like it was marking a precise point, North to Al Janubia. At first, he didn't know what to do, but with the help of Bob Carrot Qamari, he has been able to reach the landmark.

While he was arriving there, he saw some granite on the surface, right above the grass. It was very unusual, but the map leaded him there. He then decided to dig under these two blocks of granite, just to find a chest... a chest containing scattered pages, and a notebook... He decided to bring everything he found at his place, to examine everything with serenity.

As he opened the notebook, he instantly noticed that some pages were... *burnt?* He didn't know... The first sentence he managed to read was:

> ***Give me back... what belongs to me.***
>
>

*"What belongs to me..?* What could it be? It's hard to understand as of now.
The second sentence I managed to read was:

> ***Or you will face... the consequences.***
>
>

"*The consequences..?* What does this mean? It's hard to understand as of now.

Unfortunately, the rest of the pages were too consumed to read everything correctly. However, something that interested his, was that the pages weren't 100, this time, but *77*...

He was shocked... he instantly recognized the numbers... When he visited a castle, during his journey in the Shadow Realm, he managed to find a huge hallway, leading to what looked like the Kings' Throne Room, where he found a great round table, with **seven** seats, occupied by **seven** skeletons; each one wearing a depleted Crown, that still shined, probably because it was made out of gold.

However, there was a seat that was "more adorned", and it was occupied by a skeleton with a Crown full of Gems, and that was the moment he came into possession of the Gem, that now rests in his vault. The same Gem that drove R'Roman crazy, when he first held it. It looked like he was being haunted by these Kings, or Queens, as they wanted their Gem back.

He finally understood what he had done. That Gem, was probably the Core of the Shadow Realm, something that should've stayed right where he found it, untouched, as it was holding everything together. That might be the reason why he felt a strange force, emitted by that exact gem, when him and Bob experimented some sort of "ritual", near Qamari's Statue. He felt like the Shadow Realm was calling him. He had to make sure that this **Dimensio**n wasn't destroyed.

> ***It's made of Darkness, and Light cannot exist without it, after all.***
>
>

After exactly 7 days, he received what looked like the last notebook, before his mission would've started. He had to get back to the Shadow Realm, to give the Gem back to it's rightful owner... *but how?* It's hard to understand, as of now. However, He might've known a way or two, to enter that **Dimensio**n, again.

The Dimensional Rifter... what brought both him and Bob back, might've been the key to return in that world. He had to prepare, there was little to no time. His opponent wasn't going to be present instantly, there, but...

*Ahahahah...* *Chess is truly an interesting game, isn't it? He has been able to overturn the results of this match... almost, instantly. Every piece has a meaning, and a purpose... but... no one ever considers the Pawns...*

However,

> ***There are time when a well placed pawn... is stronger than a King.***
>
>

### *Meeting the Opponent*

Dimensio received another notebook, containing a creepy little song, describing how 7 skeletons danced around a pit, and died, burnt. He then decided to answer his opponent, with the same notebook, placing it right in his mailbox, waiting for him to pick it up and respond.

> ***Greetings, opponent. It is now time to approach you.***
>
>

> ***Looks like you hold me in check, but you have underestimated me. You didn't count the pawns, pieces sometimes... so useless, but at the same time... so important.***
>
>

> ***With the help of a pawn, I have managed to uncover your deepest secrets, and soon, you will become the eighth skeleton, dancing around that pit.***
>
>

> ***Trust me, I have no skeletons in the closet, as the only skeleton I will have the pleasure to meet, is yours.***
>
>

This whole ordeal seemingly turned into a vague chess game, played by two masterminds.

### *The Great Answer*

After just one day, Dimensio received an answer. As soon as he opened his mailbox, he found a notebook, containing:

> **Greetings, Dimensio. I see you’re my first opponent, that’s worthy fighting against. But be careful, you’re being overproud of what you have achieved. And don’t forget, after the game, even the King and Pawns, are put into the same box. So, in triumph or defeat my pawns advance and your King retreats.**
>
>

> **In our previous game. I tried to "Scholar’s Mate" you. But you brought your G-Pawn forward. Good job!**
>
>

> ***Stalemate, lets start again.***
>
>

> **Your pawns have been placed well, but mine are placed better. You’re unexperienced in the world of chess. Chess is a mind game after all. Anyways, I control the center!**
>
>

> ***Man… where Bobby Fischer has brought us.* *1. NF3-G6 2. E4-BG7 3. D4-D6 4. NC3-NF6 5. BC4 O-O 6. O-O***
>
>

> **You told me I’ll soon be dancing around the pit. But what pit is there for me to dance around, when you’ve taken the gem, that holds the pit together? Your move, Jester.**
>
>

### *The Trap*

Dimensio, reading the notebook with the famigerate answer, instantly tried to think about a good comeback, to shut down his enemy, in this great mind-game, and so he wrote:

> ***"But what pit is there for me to dance around, when you’ve taken the gem, that holds the pit together?" You say.***
>
>

> ***Ahahahahah... As our dear Ganzseher said, it's just like Skoll and Hati. An infinite chase, controlled by our own moves, but who's in control over the sun and the moon, holds the power, and looks like I am the right person to hold that power, with my familiarity of the Sun, and the Moon. It is indeed a great game, and, oh well, looks like I'll be one of the few that managed to beat the legendary Bobby Fischer.***
>
>

> ***Looks like you know me very well, after all, to even know that I love chess, however, you're behind a closed door. A locked door, and in a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king. And, ahahahah, you should see me in a crown.***
>
>

> ***You fell right into my trap. It's your turn, now.***
>
>

### *The "Last" Interaction*

The opponent, then, proceeded to answer in a shocking way, saying:

>
> **It will surely not be an infinite chase. You will soon be mated, be careful Dimensio: *Life is like a chess game, you don’t want to waste a move.***
>
>
>
>

>
> **Don’t compare yourself with Edmar Mednis, Samuel Reshevsky or Robert Byrne. You’ve achieved merely a fraction of what they have. I know you love playing chess, but have you ever encountered an opponent that’s capable to ruin your life?**
>
>
>
>

>
> ***The greatest enemy, is one that has nothing to lose.* *If this is your trap, then what obstacles are there that will, make it hard for me, to mate you?***
>
>
>
>

>
> ***“In a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is the King.”***
>
>
>
>

>
> **Here we go again... time’s running out Dimensio, think of what I've told you. The realm is getting destroyed! Hurry up.**
>
>
>
>

### *The Final Showdown*

It looked like this had become a rescue mission. Soon, he will head back to the Shadow Realm, to restore the Dimensional Equilibrium, hoping to fix everything that he had done. A lot of things will happen, on his way there, but one thing is sure: He won't die. Why won't he die? Because...

*Standing here, he realized... He was just like him, trying to make history. But who's to judge, the right from wrong?* *When their guard is down, he think they'll both agree.* He will probably be reduced near to death, so he asked Bob...

> **"J*ust leave me some ammo, a little water, some chips if you have 'em".***
>
>

His mission was now saving the Shadow Realm, and he won't do it *behind closed doors.* The **Real Journey** began.

*A crack in the sky opened... Dimensio and Bob returned in that Dark Dimension... **The Shadow Realm**...*

With the help of the Great Inventor, Alpha, both him and Bob managed to open a rift to go back there. All four of them, Lettcor... Him... Bob... and Alpha, heard a voice. That voice, was **Dugus**. They weren't afraid of his threats, and Dimensio, before being teleported into that **Dimensio**n, swore to fix the Equilibrium... *Permanently*.

On this journey, that seemingly turned into a rescue mission on a dimensional scale, he will put back the *Gem that started it all...* Thankfully, unlike the first time, both him and Bob were teleported onto the same Hill where Dimensio found himself before. Following the same path will lead them to the right place soon... but they had to watch out. *Something big was waiting for them.*

> ***Great Opponent, you'll have to wait for me for a bit longer, but, oh... I am coming for you. Let's go, with the flow.***
>
>

Time in the **Shadow Realm** ticks differently from their world... they've been exploring around the hill for what seemed like 10 days, by that time. In the distance both Dimensio and Bob saw what looked like a bridge, so they got closer, and closer... That's when they saw it. The Castle, where **he**, was waiting them.
It looked ominous, and immense. They chose rest before approaching it, but soon they'll have to enter... bursting from the front door!

> ***We're coming, and we are not scared. Let's go, with the flow.***
>
>

After a good rest, both Dimensio and Bob started approaching the bridge to the Castle... and it already looked so huge, even from afar. Bob was scared, but Dimensio assured him that they weren't going to die! ***Not here... not now...*** They weren't weak.

An ominous music, played on an *enchanted piano* could be heard, as they were getting closer and closer to the main door...

> ***Time is ticking, and we are moving forward. Let's go, with the flow.***
>
>

### *The Final Battle*

They managed to enter the Castle. The Waltz wouldn't stop playing... it was getting into their heads, twisting their thoughts... But they were carrying on!

They had to succeed... the Gem must've been replaced, and the realm must've been saved. Standingthere, at the start of their final staircase... they realized that they had to perform at their best, fighting together, as Brothers. It was a race against time, but if there was a thing both Dimensio and Bob were sure about was that...

> ***The Flow was with them.***
>
>

As they won the battle against their enemy, they were brought back, again, by Alpha, the Great Inventor. and Dimensio had a beautiful speech:

> **Today is a great day.**
>
>

> **Today is the day where the Qamari Warriors, Bob and I, return from the now saved Shadow Realm. We've ended this, exiting in a victorious way. The Gem has now been placed back, and the Equilibrium has been restored. Unfortunately, though, the Shadow Realm won't be accessible anymore. The Dimensional Fluctuations that opened our rift have now calmed. The Weisser Engine has been destroyed, along with the Chromatic Prism, used as source of energy. This is where the long, shadowy journey ends.**
>
>

> ***You know, beginning as a Jester and ending as a Dimensional Hero is a feeling I have never felt.* *Adrenaline is occupying my body, and tranquility is now achieved.***
>
>

> **I guess we had the last laugh, didn't we? Our Final Battle was epic, indeed, and we've been able to shut you down, but I hope to hear from you again, maybe not in this world, but in another Dimension.**
>
>

> **I would like to thank all the brave people who participated in this great adventure. Alpha, Lettcor... and last, but *definitely not least*, Bob, my beloved fighter, and also brother.**
>
>

*It was the true end... it was what everyone wanted to happen, and Dimensio and Bob have been brave enough to make it happen.*

## *A New, Religious Beginning*

Dimensio has joined the Trinity of Light's cult, as children born from the warmth of the three, its followers are devoted to follow the **Ways of Light** and celebrate what life is given to them. They believe of the **Heroism** and **Deeds** done by ***The Three***, and the **Truths** given to make a benevolent world from the **Darkness** of ***Umbra***. As such, Warriors, Artists, Builders, and all **Walks of Life** are welcome in their halls.

### *Caeda*

The Goddess of Light. The head of the **Trinity** and a benevolent goddess who defends the world from darkness and its monsters. She is a firm in just conflict and righteousness, while showing love and affection to all who bask in the light. After fighting **Umroin**, the *Great Dragon* that came after *Ao*'s defeat, she created the Light and gave the world its warmth from the Sun, the beauty of the Stars, and calmness from the Moon.

### *Loria*

The Goddess of Magic. Known as the **Poetic Warrior of the Trinity**, Loria brings creativity and the miracles of magic to the world for civilizations to blossom in glean. She is known to teach virtues of goddess and dance. After fighting **Umroin**, the *Great Dragon* that came after *Ao*'s defeat, she sculpted the landscape and the oceans with her own hands.

### *Dawn*

The Goddess of Hope. The **Lady of the Natural World**, she represents and inspires determination and growth. Known to be energetic, Dawn shows courage and eagerness to prove martial prowess to creation of wonders. After fighting **Umroin**, the *Great Dragon* that came after *Ao*'s defeat, she then created the plants, the animals, and the people to populate the land.

### Tribe of Ancients

The Tribe of Ancients were an advanced civilization that believed in the Trinity of Light, in Caeda, Loria and Dawn. They were highly intelligent and possessed great magical power, and their influence spread across the worlds for thousands of years. The Ancients' counterpart was the Tribe of Darkness, which splintered off from the rest of the Ancients 2.000 years prior to the events of the Battle of the Trinity of Light. While the Tribe of Darkness kept to themselves and forbade marriage outside their group, for fear of diluting their magical powers, the Ancients had great faith in the power of love, and the passion of some became the stuff of legends. 1,500 years before the events of the Battle of the Trinity of Light, a particular group of Ancient sages created the Profeticus Lucis to counteract the grim spells of the Profeticus Tenebrae, whether this book was written by an Ancient as well is unknown.

#### Profeticus Lucis

The **Profeticus Lucis** is a tome that tells the tales of the **Trinity of Light**, mostly focused on *Caeda's Actions and objectives*. No one actually knows who wrote it, but the followers of the Trinity are aware of its counterpart, the **Profeticus Tenebrae**, however, the Followers of Light vowed on not opening the evil tome, probably scared of **Umbra's Powers**. This tome of doctrines appeared in Iaddithis’ Realm not so long ago. Written by an unknown entity and created to counteract the Profeticus Tenebrae, it tells your ideal future in a more optimistic view, following what Caeda talks about.

It was owned by the Tribe of Ancients, a group of people who together wrote the tome, even though no one knows the one who wrote it all. They created this tome to drive the Followers of Light closer to what Caeda talks about, instead of letting others fall into the Profeticus Tenebrae, which talks about what Umbra could've and wanted to do against the new world. Its main role is to instruct how the life must be pursued in order to live a good one but, as the author says, its main purpose was to counteract its evil counterpart, which means that this ancient tome is just a "*holy manual*" that teaches the readers on how to live a good life by not falling into the arms of Umbra. In other words, it says what one can do but, unlike the Profeticus Tenebrae, it's the individual's choice to follow its doctrines.

Many researches have been made to try and find a good place into the Trinity of Light, but the majority of the Followers believe that this is just an apocryphal tome, meaning it's not an authentic item left here by the **Goddesses of Light**. Obviously, the people who read it are able to follow it without commiting sacrilegious acts against their religion, but the authentic holy tome should be the one who the Followers should focus on more.

### Tribe of Darkness

The Tribe of Darkness is a group of evil beings who broke off from the rest of the Tribe of Ancients thousands of years before the events of the Battle of the Trinity of Light. The tribe is known for being a cult that worshipped the evil deity known as Umbra, some believe that its members might descend directly from him. They were accused of stealing the ancient tome of the Profeticus Tenebrae from the Ancients, with some suspecting they intended to use the book to enhance Umbra's powers, using the spells inside of it.

#### Profeticus Tenebrae

The Profeticus Tenebrae is a book of evils that appeared in Iaddithis’ Realm not so long ago. The author of the book and the source of their knowledge is unknown. At the beginning of this powerful object there's written a warning: *"Anyone who has possessed the book has never found happiness"*.

This tome was written by an unknown entity, same as the Profeticus Lucis, and it tells the tales of Umbra's Actions and objectives. It can be taken as a "**Manual to Destroy the Light**". The Followers of Light believe that this is an apocryphal tome, however, they are scared of Umbra's Powers, and so they condemn every individual who dares to read this tome and tries to complete what Umbra has tried to do before being sealed away by the Trinity of Light.

At one time, the Tribe of Ancients possessed the Profeticus Tenebrae. However, several of the tribe's members became possessed by the book's great power. They stole it, ran away, and hid the book. Officially having broken off from the Tribe of Ancients, these members became known as the **Tribe of Darkness**. The tribe guarded the book for centuries afterward, until someone took it and became enchanted by the book's power, turning him into a manifestation of malice and hatred, the final owner. He desires to use this book in hopes of "destroying the new world” following what Umbra swore to do. However, the book also speaks of three heroes that would rise up and attempt to stop the destruction of existence. The Profeticus Lucis was also written to counter this book, telling the story from a more optimistic view.

The Tribe of Darkness could be linked to the Trinity of Light in some way, however the researchers still have to find a solid link between those two, and this tome is the most important item to help them understand what Umbra wanted to do in order to destroy the new world created by Caeda, Loria and Dawn.

### An Unexpected Return

After quite a long time since the last encounter with Ratatouille, Dimensio was approached by him unexpectedly, always via journals. He made his return starting off with a threat directed to him, as he mentioned he was not only a skeleton anymore, but far worse. He wanted revenge from the last defeat in the Shadow Realm... so, Dimensio, not taking him seriously, challenged Rataouille to a new gamble. This time, instead of a chess game, a poker game would take place. He also mentioned the need of him to use the Profeticus Tenebrae, but it wasn't yet necessary. He also had a vision of a combination of cards, the combination that would've made him win once and for all... a Straight Flush.

> **I see you have returned, and you are indeed right. I didn't expect you to come up with another plan this soon. I'm sure we will definitely have fun playing this new game together. I reckon stakes are very high this time. Last time we made our bets on a whole Dimension, so I ask you, are you ready to gamble for something much bigger?**
>
>
> **Aaah, I might have to use the *Profeticus Tenebrae* this time. You know, I really didn't want to use that tome, but it looks like I am forced to do so. Let's roll the dies and draw our cards. Who has the best hand wins. Don't be foolish like the last time... going all in isn't always the right choice. Make sure not to cheat, remember.**

### Taking a Chance to Forget Yesterday

As Dimensio received the next journal, he noticed that Rataouille mentioned the Tribe he once was part of: the Tribe of Darkness, and said that Dimensio himself had slaughtered every single member of it. At this point, he was shocked at the thought of having missed one member of the tribe, a memeber that could go and tell everything that Dimensio had done, putting him in a worse light than he already was. He then noticed a little writing at the bottom of one of the last pages of the journal, saying:

> **"This time, killing me won't be enough to kill me."**
>
>

He was somwhat scared, but determinaed to put a definitive end to this story.

> **Little chef, you are a funny one. You really think that will be enough to defeat the two of us... Hilarious. You escaped once, you're right, but you won't be that quick a second time. The storytellers might be right, you know, about the old tome of mine. You were never an *immovable object*, nor an *unstoppable force*... I have to sadly remember you that you were indeed just a pawn, *falling into your own demise*.**
>
>
> **You say this time what I will do won't be enough to kill you... Hm, quite *strange*, isn't it? My cards are the best ones on the table. 3 of the cards I need to win are already placed, and you'll have to be very lucky to beat me for what's coming next. You're right, I have to take a chance, to make it all the way... and the chance is right here, in front of me.**
>
>
>
> **I will just have to forget yesterday. Have fun with your little research, because it's a battle against *time*, after all.**

### Trapped Once Again

Dimensio, after going on a trip outside Qamari's Territory, came home and was welcomed with a floating lantern seemingly waiting for him outside his door. He decided to follow it, not knowing what was waiting for him...

> ***4* days ago I went on a trip outside Qamari's Domain, and *3* days later I came back to my house in Al Janubia. What I found was shocking... a floating lantern was '*waiting*' outside my door, a green one. I decided to follow it as soon as it started moving towards Al Janubia's borders.**
>
>
> **What Rataouille said might've been right, I had to follow that lantern. It suddenly stopped. A dark emerald-green light started to shine from the lantern... that's when I heard Lettcor's screams. He stuttered, but I understood what he said:**
>
>
> **"Help me."**
>
>
> **I could see his face fading away from inside the lantern, slowly retreating in the *Mist* contained inside of it. When I wasn't able to see his face anymore, the lantern started twitching, and eventually it fell down, seemingly '*turning off*', however, after some seconds it quickly started floating again, emitting a deafening sound, similar to a high-pitched screech. I didn't have enough time to process what I had just seen, but I felt an excruciating pain in my chest, so I passed out for some minutes.**
>
>
> **After waking up, I found myself into a *cage-like* realm. The environment was shaded with a faded green, which made me instantly understand the situation. I was trapped into the lantern I stupidly followed. With this in mind, I decided that my mission was to free Lettcor, or his soul, from this cage realm. I then got up on my feet, a card fell from my pocket... it was an Ace of... *Skeletons?* I chose to explore further.**
>
>
>
> **Well, well, well, Ratatouille . My previous hand was a *flop*, wasn't it? I will let you win this turn, however, a new combination is coming, and I just need to focus and find the remaining cards. The Ace was found, the King, the Queen, the Jack and the 10 are to be drawn, too. Prepare for my *Straight Flush*, as it will be the last thing you'll see, when I'll get out of this damn prison.**
>
>

### King of the Hill

Dimensio found himself wandering around the realm for quite a long time now, and when he saw a familiar landscape, he instantly knew what was going on. The hill he was trying to climb was the exact same of the one him and Bob landed on in the original Shadow Realm. This made Dimensio understand that this was almost a copy of that place, which was trying to cause an unxpected reaction.

> **I've been wandering around for some days now... looks like the day-night cycle goes differently from Iaddithis, so I might've been here for months from the outside... who knows. I was feeling dizzy, so I sat down and took the Ace of Skeletons from my pocket. I stared at the card for some time, trying to analyze it, looking for little details. That's when I saw that one of the corners was marked. There was a number on it: "11". I guess it is related to the fact that it's an Ace, so its value is either 1 or 11.**
>
>
> **I got up, and moved forward, and that's when I saw a hill... I felt a shiver going down my spine, almost like I had already been in that place before, but it was oddly different from last time... I saw a tree, a dead one. No leaves or anything, just the trunk and some crows on it. They weren't normal crows... I ended up wanting to climb that hill. As it was really steep, I had some difficulties climbing, however, I ended up reaching a good point, halfway to the top. I was exhausted, so I decided to take a break and try to sleep... but that's when the crows started screaming... they didn't scream like humans, but similar to nails on a blackboard. Deafening screechs. When they stopped, all I heard was:**
>
>
> **"Time is ticking, hurry up."**
>
>
> **I didn't sleep, but after hearing that sentence, my energies suddenly came back, I don't know how. I was able to reach the top, just to feel that shiver again… I knew exactly where I was... It was the hill me and Bob found ourselves on, while in the Shadow Realm, however, it was different... the Castle wasn't there, and occupying its place there was a huge lake. Examining the top of the hill, I went to lift some stones and bigger rocks, and when I eventually managed to lift one of the bigger ones, all I was able to find was another card. This time it was a King of Skeletons, just like the Ace I found at the beginning. It's time to proceed.**
>
>
>
> **My hand is slowly getting together, and the victory is closer. Everything is going well, but I feel something will surely get in my way. The Ace and the King were found, the Queen, the Jack and the 10 are to be drawn. I'm coming, Lettcor. It'll be a difficult one, this time.**
>
>

### Unexpected Death

Dimensio was still trapped inside that lantern, inside that same realm, but he didn't know that along with Lettcor's and Rataouille's spirits, there was another person with him: Waffle. However, as he was caught by Rataouille, he was killed with cold blood. Waffle was marked with a weird symbol, what could that be?

> **Argh... These crows are following me everywhere I go... I tried to outrun them but they're too fast. Every time I look at them they start emitting the same screech, over and over. This realm is not driving me crazy, but it's starting to making me feel... lonely. I've never been lonely, as I always had Bob when deep in my adventures, however this time is different, I'm completely alone and I'm always being watched and followed by those skeletal crows.**
>
>
> **The only thing that keeps me motivated it to save my friend Lettcor. If I don't succed, Bob would definitely beat me up. I returned on the hill after another failed attempt of 'crow-outrunning' and rested for some minutes. After resting, I decided to go towards the East. Orientation was difficult in the realm and I always left some sticks everywhere I went to go back at my 'outpost'. Moving to the East brought me near a great plateau, it was surrounded by a huge wall, it was almost touching the sky due to its height. I instantly knew I had to climb it, and so I started. It was so steep I almost fell down, but I avoided a stupid death here.**
>
>
> **The climb was difficult, however I managed to reach the top. The, I saw a building... it looked exactly like a church, but not a normal church, more like a cathedral. It made me feel dizzy. Another resemblance of the Shadow Realm. I couldn't stand this. I instantly ran to its entrance only to find an open door, meaning someone or some*thing* visited this place already. I looked around and eventually got to the altar where 2 cards were placed in a pattern of 5 slots. I then placed my 2 cards in the order of a Straight Flush, from the 10 to the Ace.**
>
>
> **▢ 10 ▢ ... ▢ Queen ▢ King ▢ Ace ▢**
>
>
>
> **Those cards were the Queen and the 10... always of Skeletons. This seed is so weird but also so familiar in some ways. I have to proceed, the hand is almost there. The Ace, the King, the Queen and the 10 were found. Only the Jack remains. It's almost done, Lettcor. I need time.**
>
>

### The Forgotten Friend

Dimensio was starting to find a meaning to Ratatouille's words, and he even though about three possible outcomes. Even though he was not correct, he still thought that Rataouille was a friend of him. His name was Lukin Avax, a Gewebian General at the time. It made sense as he was a skeleton too. However, the appearances often decept.

> **Once I got out of the Cathedral, I found myself lost in the same woods as the Shadow Realm's. That's when I saw a little opening between the dead trees. There was a blinding light, and a pedestal, and on that same pedestal, I found the last card I needed to win: the Jack of Skeletons.**
> **Now my hand is finally completed, and I will be able to use its powers to give you the final blow. Lukin Avax, now I am able to fight you properly, with all my powers enhanced, and a good hand by my side. The last round begins now, and you won't be able to beat my Straight Flush, unless there's something I still don't know about all the things that happened...**
>
>

### The Great Deception

Dimensio was so wrong. Lukin Avax was thought to be dead as he hadn't make his return to Iaddithis in such a long time. He couldn't be him. There was something more that Dimensio was missing, a detail so important but also so unlikely to be noticed. Lettcor was still trapped there, but he was freed by Ratatouille, which then was revealed to be Rider himself, the old Kaiser of Gewebe, making his return to rule over his land once more. This was the first time Dimensio had failed in something. He was so angry, but still managed to keep calm. This event changed him for the rest of his life.

> **I can't believe I was tricked in such a way. Truly unbelievable. The Jester being the one who is tricked, instead of the one that is tricking. I really believed I could win against you, but it looks like you had an ace up your sleeve, and you made me believe those cards were the key to win against a player like you. *I was so wrong...***
>
>
> **Rider, I must congratulate myself to you, you are indeed the first one to beat me in this kind of situation. Even if we are 1 to 1, the games must have an end eventually, and the end just came. Looks like I didn't fail to achieve my goal, however Lettcor is still being freed, and that's what I wanted. Now, with all this being said, I can exit this damn lantern, and come back to the real world. Who knows if I will be the same Dimensio that you met in the Shadow Realm and in here.**
>
>
>
> **If I manage to encounter you again, let's make sure we will play together, one last time, even if its this unlikely to happen. I really had fun, thank you.**
