Intermission
"Wow."
"Wow indeed," the red pegasus replied, adjusting himself on the seat and flicking his purple cape aside. His steel breastplate shone in the light of the nearby lamp. "That was just the start of my journey, of course. Between that moment and this one, there're weeks worth of untold stories. I'd tell you the rest of it, but, heh, well it's a long tale to tell. And I have duties to tend to, so..."
"I was there for most of it, though."
"Oh sure. From then on until now, actually. Good to still have you with us, Delvius; but right now the Roaman people need me to tend to them. This... history lesson of yours can wait, right? It's getting late."
"Sure, sure. I'll just type all this down..."
"You're typing this down? This is isn't even the story! Hey, are you?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Gah, fine. Your choice. But for now, I'm leaving. I don't know when I'll be available for interview again."
"Mind if I talk to the others, then? I know we've been together through thick and thin, but it'd be nice to know things from their perspective."
"I don't see why not. This... 'New Roam Innovatus' of yours is your endeavor, so achieve it however you like."
"Who should I call in first? And not Predator; I doubt he'd want anything to do with this at all."
"Hmm..." he pondered, then smirked. "Well, if you can get her to talk despite the potential size of audience, I bet her insight would be invaluable. Try asking Myst."
You inserted yourself into the story pretty nicely Delvius. The 4th wall is always a great place to use.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, guys! I do hope to know what you think of the events and repercussions when you finish reading. Do tell; improvement is something I always strive for.

Yes, those are all ideas that ran through my head as I wrote all this. The distinction between Order and Chaos will be a recurring theme, mostly for the things you said -- Chaos is totally random, yet within it, alongside its potential for the greatest evils, it also harbors the possibility of the greatest goods. Order is good for maintenance, and useful for systematic advancement... but ultimately can be more harmful than useful, as eventually all orders crumble down into stagnation, hoping to preserve itself against chance.
And the parallelism you draw between those groups, villains, and entities from other stories kind of holds true here. Though I must say, though this particular 'villain's' power is significantly less prominent, it has the potential, along with all its brethren, to sway the events of the cosmos in ways not even the stars, or Cognitium, or anything else could. You'll see why.
And btw, Delvius (me), was also in the most recent chapter, in addition to being in this intermission.
4415031 Well, I wouldn't say her crush is obvious; at the most, all that's implied from GW's PoV is that she was looking is way once. That in itself isn't a lot, but more will be explained in her own chapters.
