Katya Masters return to Millenia
May. 12th, 2025 05:11 am***Katya…. I was hurt, mad and livid and ready to go and beyond and Dad pulled me back from wanting to fix everything, learn and do and become everything and he sat my ass down with Sel-Mom and made us both mental health herb tea.
He calms me down as time her passes differently depending on your POV. It’s a god realm and more it’s like there’s layers of depth of being here and who you experience.
The first this I do or he has me do is to tell him and mom where and how I grew up and trained.
He is really big on who I am and what made me and my people as well and things with them and he really brings that more into focus again instead of things with Mom and Roman and all the other stuff.
I can only do what I can do.
I have oaths and people, people I gave hope to and my time and more to…he helps school me in that.
It helps but gods…I see Sel-Mom’s look as he teaches and train and we have all these talks.
Like that’s him, that’s the guy, my guy, home… kinda that whole Rhea and Tyler vibe but they’re them.
And there’s a lot to share.
Otherverse is a subdimension made by The Runelord race of Rune. They left taking whole cities and nations and resources and uprooted int tens of thousands of floating islands in Other Space.
Everyone in there was either a Runian, a Rune lord or a commoner, serf, slave or a summoned contract as well as several kinds of golem types by golemancy required resources so it fell by the wayside.
I grew up an orphan that was naturally smart enough at an early age to get out before I was killed, sold, trafficked or pimped.
I grew up a dockyards thief and rat earning enough in my squat and saving enough to get my ass to the Republic of Darokin space a democratic monarchy that had enough magic and military might to offset the Therans.
Swayne’s empire was basically a colony cloud that travelled and ate other nations if it could.
They were one of the safe places that seeded sane.
And taught commoners magic.
That’s a big deal home, when magic was power and currency.
Runelords could summon and that included resources but each casting takes a lot of power. In a lot of realms in Otherverse it was at least a ticket to the middle classes.
I enrolled in their navy and trained as a ships captain for a small republic tug and patrol boat getting good enough marks and to graduate a minor officer.
A few years later and I meet Mom and Greyhawk and everything fell apart.
Sideways and crashing into Rune itself.
We make some lists, first is to train to handle myself or to start which has changed as I’ve been finding out just who and what I am.
There’s lots of stuff as Dad’s prepping to leave and join us and passing everything off to the people here.
Some things we use temples for like The Highfather’s temple lets Dad use a TDC styled training hall only it’s divine warriors so I spend days getting beat up and bounced around by Sylvan heavenly mercs and war spirits and well that whole Valhalla sort of dead and it’s the Highfathers temple so I do end up screaming my head off and losing my temper and raging and then after a few wins of lightweights that couldn’t handle my natural powers… I’d run into someone who’s stands me on my head.
I’ve dad’s body mostly, reflexes, strength potential, endurance, senses, all the brotherhood stuff meets the mystical in Mom with advanced psionics and decent fire magic.
Dad trains me like him and Uncle Mark? And how they all developed their powers over the years.
“You know you’re not human, but you don’t know that you’re brotherhood, or your mothers side, you know you have power but you don’t know your powers… this’ll show you more.”
That the bits of seriously looking into things with staff help at S7. They were dealing with mom but they have all the med and scan and metagenic research stuff so I have some of that as study stuff.
Which helps as like Mom I’m a Telepath first and strongest, seconded by pyrokinetics and reading, the reading edges the pyro because of my brotherhood lineage and how my senses play into observing the world.
And I’ve branch abilities that I’ve started with him and others in the city as he trades things away, gives some things to others but gathers resources for going back to Palladium and my people plus him, Sel-Mom and my own outfitting.
And it’s not just Highfathers temple but others as well that agree and I learn what they do, cultural things, faith things, “Racial” things that I didn’t get home as we’re survivors and after that long with regular humans the diversity is there and not.
Plus dad wants me to no be like just his little training animal.
So there’s things like Satyr parkour where you are running and doing parkour with fae satyrs and fawns through the city and off of things in the city including some stunt and racing popular parkour spots.
Swimming at several temple pools and places to learn for one and I train with other kids my age that died…all sorts of trainees and squires and souls my age or like the sylvan equivalent and lives go on here and the dangerous training is all volunteers and very much that vs demons and other things.
I get better handle on my fire both as psi based and as fire magic as Sel-mom and dad take me around to some of the craft places and gods as well as smithing gods and baking.
I’m not opposed to actually learning how to make things but also how to use my powers in crafts and doing things that aren’t combat and weirdness.
I do take the time to visit Lashghan and Vixen and learn about sensing tricksters and charming demons and things like the succubus and incubus stuff that happened.
It was likely a month but it was a Sylvan month under Dad and mom so by the time we leave for Millenia Island it felt like three for me and we gate through with the help of a crossroads fae that Dad knows and we came through with a train of four hoverbarges mostly of food, supplies and household goods for everyone and I’m actually glad to be back and stopping.
