[COVENANT OF THREADS - FRAGMENT]

Caliane is unwillingly known as the right hand of "Madam".





Once upon a time, a girl named Caliane awoke in a field of lilies and lotus. She did not scream, nor cry, nor breathe too loudly. Her eyes fluttered open like the petals beneath her, and she said nothing.

She remained in the place she had bloomed, as though the earth itself had grown her there. Days passed. Birds flew overhead. Insects danced across her arms. Deer wandered close, and wolves wandered closer. She watched.

From her silence, she learned something—everything she saw would vanish. Every chirp, every crunch of hoof against grass, every soft breath would one day become still. The flowers would wilt. The fawns would become carcasses. The buzzing things would fall mid-flight and become dust.

She had discovered death.

And then, when enough time passed, she noticed something stranger: from the rot, came roots. From silence, came songbirds again. The soil did not mourn; it created.

She had discovered life.

One day, the girl watched two foxes fight over a rabbit’s remains. She tilted her head. The smaller fox bared its teeth, knowing it could not win. But it lunged anyway, as if rage alone could defy the truth of strength. Its reward was pain.

She whispered to the wind: "So they will suffer, just to make others bleed."

She had watched as each life was taken around her, the water below her would tower up slowly.

Another day, a swarm of ants found a fallen petal soaked in nectar. They danced over one another, dragging morsels to their queen, taking more than they needed. The flower would soon be dry. Once the flower had passed she had risen above the leaves.

The girl had brought the petal with her tracing it with her fingertip and asked it: "Do they know how to stop?"

And then came the worst thing of all. One day, a creature not born of fur or claw entered the garden. It walked on two legs, cloaked in stitched rags, eyes wide with desperation. It fell to its knees before her, begging—sobbing—for her help. It had no idea who she was.

She did not answer. The figure crawled closer and grabbed her wrist with trembling hands. She stared at him, curious but unblinking. She scorned the two legged creature and with a kick, the man fell from her tower.

“Why do you touch what you do not understand?” she asked. “Why reach for a thing not made for you?”

The man died at the bottom, his screams only occupying her mind for a moment. The body would eventually submerge beneath the sea, heightening her peak. The tower eventually made it to above the clouds.

On her bed of lily and lotus the girl watched as the trash around her scurried and died. She did not interfere as she had no reason to, she did not gaze for long as they did not deserve it.

When gazing at the people beneath her sanctuary she remembered one day she heard something unfamiliar. She had heard the monsters that stood on two legs mumbling sounds. The thing she heard sounded similar to it.

Though she had not bothered to learn what they were saying the words she heard in her head she needed no translation for.

When gazing at the people beneath her sanctuary, she began to hear something new. It was not the screech of birds or the whimpers of wolves—it was language. She had watched the monsters with two legs mumble strange sounds before, but now, she could understand them. And yet, none were speaking aloud. These voices were not spoken—they were given.

The first voice arrived with certainty, commanding her loyalty as though she owed it something ancient. She did not understand what it meant to bow.

The second voice trembled like a leaf. It was pitiful, but honest, and clung to her presence like warmth in the cold.

The third admired her, not for her silence, but for her refusal to allow the filth to reach her tower.

The fourth praised her form—her eyes, her stillness, her cruelty. It would have torn out its own tongue if she asked.

The fifth voice lauded her discipline. The way she never tired, never faltered. It envied her detachment.

The sixth voice was loud. Disrespectful. But not hostile. It simply could not bear silence.

And the seventh spoke as though it had known her before she ever bloomed. It described the feel of clouds underfoot, of towers built on bones, and the shimmer of silver hair that once crowned its own divine form.

Once they had introduced themselves, they spoke of how she had caught their gazes from the heavens. They claimed she possessed the potential to serve them — to carry their message to the world below. Yet even as they spoke, their voices dripped with disdain. How revolting, to summon a creature so lowly. Had they not been cursed, they would have done it themselves.

She waited, silent, for their words to cease before responding. When she finally spoke, her voice was thick with revulsion. How could these beings, who spat the tongue of the two-legged animals, dare command her — especially after the insolence of the very first she had met?

She continued to gaze down at the lives beneath her sanctuary, unbothered by the arrogance echoing from the heavens. The prideful voices had long since lost her interest. After years of enduring their hollow reverence and self-importance, she had heard enough.

With quiet resolve, she drove her hand into her own abdomen and dragged forth a pure, translucent soul — her own essence.

The brightest among them was discarded. Its divine embers dimmed and scattered into obscurity. Once it yielded, she forged its remains into a weapon. Its brilliance blackened into iron. The voice that once roared now spoke only when allowed.

The shiniest being was impaled with the sword forged from its equal. A thick golden liquid spilled from the wound, coating the blade. From then on, it gleamed — not with divinity, but with humiliation.

The warmest of them was sliced, threaded, and woven into cloth. Its form lost all shape. Now it wrapped around her as attire, capable only of glaring at the one who had mastered it.

The yearning spirit was not reshaped, nor discarded. Instead, she returned it to her soul, where it remained trapped. From within, it was forced to watch — forever separated from the throne it once believed would be its own.

The wrathful one lashed out. She met it with an open palm, and when it engulfed her, she tore it in two. She shaped its halves into gloves — a reminder that fury without form is easy to wear.

The delicate soul, that sizzled at the slightest touch, was crushed beneath her heel and reforged into boots. Now, it carried her weight.

And the last — the slowest, the laziest — tried to flee. It exhausted itself with the effort, trembling and pathetic. She flayed it into thin layers and shaped it into a cape. A single eye marked its back, forced open, forever watching. Swaying helplessly in the wind, it would never rest again.

With each life she took her pedestal rose, and one thing had lingered in her mind. For what? The temporary satisfaction she had gotten from slaying the things that had once buzzed in her ear had dissipated in seconds.

Gazing upon the bright green rock below she had took a deep breath and jumped once she had collected her thoughts. Upon hitting the ground she had noticed a swarm of familiar animal. Contrary to her first interaction with them they had immediately fallen to their knees.

She lowered her sword and had listened to their words, as vile as they were and they spoke of worshipping the tower she had always known, offering the bodies of the lives they had selfishly taken not even allowing them a proper burial. For the first time in thousands of years she had a grin plastered on her face, she was on the verge of laughter.

She happily accepted the hospitality, and often watched as they mindlessly massacred one another with the incentive as a little as a set of words. She was a king. Within the next millennia she watched as civilization grew under her watch and command.

Once, in a time far beneath time, the goddess Caliane noticed something plaguing her residence. It did not linger in the air, it did not make people collapse—it bloomed, quietly, in the cracks between concrete.

The people she had long forgotten had not forgotten her. They sang her name as lullaby and scripture. They raised children in her image, sculpted her in ash and gold, wrote psalms that danced on bleeding tongues. And worst of all, they changed. The weak found courage. The cowards found swords. They whispered of a divine light she had never granted them. Caliane, who had never required belief, who had never lowered herself to ask for love, rose from her throne. Her fingers, pale and distant as starlight, curled around the hilt of her sword.

She descended the tower without fury or flame. No storm followed her. She simply walked. Crowds had formed, she had not left her abode in so long, it was a miracle they sung. With each person surrounding her she finally cracked and swung her blade, leaving a red mess on the holy floor she stepped on.

For twenty hours, the kingdom bled. A select few attempted to protect the Prophets—the ones who had spoken her name the loudest. They sealed them behind chambers of incense and prayer. It was futile though, with every Prophet is a connection between the being and the follower. One by one she had executed the poor believers.

At the end of the final corridor stood a single figure.

She was not armored. She held no relic, no scripture, no gift of apology. Her hands hung at her sides, empty and calm. She did not cry. She did not kneel. She stood like a page left unturned.

Caliane approached her in silence, the blood on her heels smearing the pristine marble. The air between them was thick—too still, too poised. The Prophet did not look away. Her eyes were not glazed with awe nor wide with terror. She watched Caliane as one might watch a storm pass overhead: dangerous, but not eternal.

Caliane, curious in a way she despised, raised her hand and brushed the girl’s cheek with a softness uncharacteristic of gods. And the girl smiled. It was not a smile of worship. It was knowing. Terribly knowing.

Then it happened.

Pain.

A shriek from within her own form—not from the girl, not from any sword, but something inside. Her nerves screamed. Her mouth parted, but no sound followed. A black bloom unfurled in her chest like rot growing in white linen. She stumbled back, eyes wide, hand clutching a wound that barely bled.

The Prophet lowered her own arm. In her palm was nothing divine. No weapon. No spell. Just the remnants of a gesture. Whatever she had done, it had not come from steel.

Caliane stared, shaken not by the damage but by the possibility. That she could be touched. That pain had found her. A god had been wounded—not by blade or rebellion, but by something far worse.

By belief... lost.

The girl turned, calm as before. She stepped away from Caliane’s throne of corpses, and before she vanished into the long corridor, she said—soft, certain:

“Thank you for teaching me that gods can fall.”

And then she was gone.

Caliane collapsed, twitching on the cold stone, her pride leaking from every pore like spoiled honey. Her breath rattled in her chest. She cursed the girl—cursed her name, her defiance, her humanity—before sleep took her like a shroud.

Saffron fled to a distant kingdom, where the memory of Caliane had long since faded into bedtime stories and half-spoken omens. She spoke none of the fallen hand that she once worshipped, even to the children that visited her cathedral.

Once the fire had calmed, she had gathered ones alike her. Not out of compassion, but out of the disgust of others, almost alike someone else.

Introduction:

The world had formed from a chorus created by the Loom. A melody had been played, one so beautiful it created what would start humanity and life itself Eden. Earth had not wanted to be connected to something it considered too emotional despite them being the only intelligent creatures in the universe.

Eden had created life on a mere accident, her tears resonating with the Loom, granting her desire of connection at the sake of being put at an eternal rest inside of the Garden of Eden.

Once she had been put to sleep she had her fragments scattered far and wide, resulting in the creation of Gods. Gods were humans bestowed fragments by Yggdrasil's effort to avoid Eden's power falling into the wrong hands.

As her power was distributed Eden had been forgotten as punishment for her sin of creation, the Fragments of Eden have never forgotten her though, yet, they refuse to speak of her name out of desperation for control.

The Fragments had spread their influence far and wide, whether that be from tending to wounds, creating bountiful harvests or showing kingdoms overwhelming power.

Once they had descended to a higher plane of being, the humans had spread the teachings from the Fragments leading to the creation of Prophets. Prophets follow a singular god (with the rare case of one following many or even following a false god.) and spread their teachings in exchange for power.

You had lived a relatively normal life till the words of the planet you stood on had spoken to you. They had spoken of tragedy. Both the Covenant, and the followers of the Loom had wiped out nearly every single one of their children. Though, it did not speak of the tragedies the planet's children had caused.

Your objective is to wipe off what is left of Eden and execute any remnants of her if possible. Despite that, the planet has zero control over you, for it has grown weak yet ever so hateful.
