Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 Vaylnn, Star hopper
Vanio: “Hey Amanoth”
Amanoth: “What”
Vanio: “When I was dead, I saw millions of others like me, who were they?”
Amanoth: “The billion of your incarnations who came before you.”
Vanio: “...What were they like?”
Amanoth: ”There was a billion of them, can’t generalize that much.”Vanio: “Can you… pick one?”
Amanoth sharply inhales before starting
“...About 200 million years ago, there lived an incarnation of Amanoth; she named herself Vaylnn, no one ever wholly knew why, and eventually she couldn’t recall herself.
Akin to other incarnations, she had no family, only herself, any friends she made, and one ominous –but correct– voice in her head.
The voice always told her of how she was insignificant among the cosmos, that, when all was said and done, she could never touch a star, nor another planet, nor another galaxy, nor anything else in the vast expanse of the universe. Only what she could walk to.
Vaylnn would not take this for an answer.
So she studied the magics and sciences necessary and assembled a crew, all of whom challenged the exact same fact. And with their combined abilities, they set for flight in their crudely fashioned rocket.
They initially didn’t find all too much, just what space really is. An empty, cold void with occasional bubbles of gas or rock. It had been 4 years since they started did they finally arrive at the next planet over.
I thought she was just going to learn that I was right, but for whatever reason, she kept going further.
She took the magic she was made from, and used it to amplify the magic of the rocket. Sure, it reduced her life span by amounts you would never imagine, but in place, her crew could now move so fast as to be at new star systems in mere minutes. It was impressive, really.
That’s how Vaylnn spent the rest of her life. Jumping between stars and planets for the sake of exploration, though, she never did leave her galaxy.
She had an… ultimately uneventful death.
Her exploration led her to a planet with a more… hostile environment then her home.
She died by being attacked by the, according to her, “adorable and tame wildlife.” “
Vanio had passed out listening to Amanoth, sleeping peacefully as Amanoth began to grapple with the fact they just told Vanio a bedtime story.

Poor little Vanio must be tired from all the politics and stuff.

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
Vanio is out cold, as a quiet, psychic voice berates him

u/MastaDon344 MastaDon Astrum/Council Master Evoker/Mediamancer/🌮 Wiz Jan 23 '25
she gets a closer listen, wondering on who it could be

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"...Everyone would be better off if you were dead, including you, and you know it."
It's Amanoth

u/MastaDon344 MastaDon Astrum/Council Master Evoker/Mediamancer/🌮 Wiz Jan 23 '25
she thinks to herself a bit harsh
3
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
Amanoth takes notice "...Harsh, But deserved"
They continue

Are you just saying that, because your mad at him or are you just spiteful, Vanio still goes on despite all your constant insults and treating them like their insignifficant.
You know their are spells to silence voices in the head you know, Even one for gods.
What would you do if Vanio did that?

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"The awnser to your first question is both. But, while I cannot solve his lack of attention, he will eventually break. And I'm treating him like he's insignifgant because he is.
And he'll never have the guts to do that."

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"Oh, Congratulations.

u/Alarming-Scene-2892 Fluffco (Flufferson, Geralt, Oni) Jan 23 '25

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"Oh, that sounds nice
I could give you a ride if you like just... what's Earth?"

u/Alarming-Scene-2892 Fluffco (Flufferson, Geralt, Oni) Jan 23 '25

*Listens telepathically*
2
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"...Nobody likes you, your "friends" just think you're useful, and nobody would even notice if you were gone"
It's not Vanio's voice

"Hello?"
2
u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis, half-adopted by Torinn Jan 23 '25
“How’s the campaigning?”
2
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"Oh, it's going well... Blue Orb dropped out, so I'm against Fluff now."
2
u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis, half-adopted by Torinn Jan 23 '25
“Good luck with that! Felt I’d check in.”

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
"If you see Scratch... try to... stay away from them

2
u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis, half-adopted by Torinn Jan 23 '25
“Scratch?”
“Oh, they blame me…”
“Well, alright I’ll keep an eye out.”

Chloe: a projection appears at vanio's door and she knocks though after getting no response due to vanio sleeping she peeks her head through the door and then upon seeing him a sleep she walks through the door quietly and casts a small spell to keep him warm but not uncomfortably so
2
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
Vanio sleeps a bit more soundly
A small psychic voice can be heard berating Vanio as he sleeps

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25

u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) Jan 23 '25
Chloe: what are you talking about?
2
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
Amanoth: ”Oh, why everything Vanio thinks is wrong and why he shouldn’t trust anyone”
2
u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) Jan 23 '25
Chloe: i doubt it, if everything he thought was wrong he wouldn't be able to cast a single spell after all ya got to be able to think if your gonna cast spells.

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
Amanoth: ”Ah, misunderstanding. I meant everything he thinks of other people and himself. All the things that make him happy, basically”

Vanio recieves a file the next day, down the most chimney-like structure he wouod find it in.
Taken from the Codex of Visitors:
Entry #9318054 "Vaylnn"
Arrival: �, Departure: �.
Traveler from unknown origin. Arrived and left on a vessel operated by conventional means, aided by telekinetic acceleration of exhaust. Curious and harmless. No contact made due to lack of risk and nonexistence of civilisation at the time. Tracking chip destroyed shortly after departure, likely due to extreme acceleration.
Note attached: Sorry, that's it. Wasn't really significant, but I can get the image as well if you'd like.

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
/uw No

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Completionist Jan 23 '25

2
u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
/uw How does Sigurd know Vaylnn existed let alone have a file on her?
That and writing her for me
1
u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Completionist Jan 23 '25
/uw Automated system, to list any visitors from not this planet. Sigurd would have sent it back through time, to not miss anything.

u/Narrow-Experience416 Vanio, the squishable wizard Jan 23 '25
/uw Sorry to everyone for the double ping
You can meet Vaylnn if your character was around during her time, otherwise feel free to interact with Vanio and Amanoth
