Infinity War
A Saeverse Storybook

I'm sorry.
Once upon a time, there was a god named Kartiel.
You likely already know of him. He was the god of souls, and he was known for his experiments on unwilling mortals. With the help of Rendra, the goddess of lies, and Thymea, the goddess of forgotten memories, he was able to interfere in countless people's lives. His ability to move souls has let him create experiments where he takes a person's soul from one body and puts it into another, and has appeared under many false identities simply by putting his own soul into a new body.
For those who don't know of him as Kartiel, you know him by another name: Keith Quinn, a millionaire. You may have roleplayed with him. You may have read about him in the news. However you know of him, you know he exists, and that is enough. He has influenced your lives in more ways than you can possibly know – he brought you to Atlantis. He brought you to Aeyis. He informed you about your destiny to save the world. He was the one who was behind the experiments that led to you being reincarnated with soulmates.
But Kartiel isn't the Thanos of this Infinity War.
For thousands of years, Kartiel has served another god. His name is Sirun, and he is the god of realities. To those who work for him, they know him by another role – he is the god who enslaves others. Though they are immortal and have a vast array of powers, all gods share a common weakness. Each possess a true name, and, when this true name is given to another person, that person has the ability to manipulate the giver when in their presence. Sirun has collected the true names of three gods in particular: Rendra, Thymea and Kartiel. And while Rendra and Thymea have their own tales to tell, the chaotic event that is Infinity War can be blamed on Kartiel and Kartiel alone.
It starts with Keith Quinn.
(Who, as you remember, is Kartiel.)
Keith is attacked in his bedroom by assailants sent by Sirun himself. He attempts to leave his body and use one of the spare ones he has left across an array of realities, but Sirun was wise and made sure to leave them all in a state where he could no longer use them. The goal? He wished to force Kartiel back into his original body, which rests in Sirun's castle in Aeyis. Once he does so, he can have Kartiel under his control once more – or, rather, for the first time, because Kartiel has been acting like he has been corrupted by Sirun's commands for thousands of years.
Kartiel, luckily, has a spare body.
Unluckily, this body is only the body of a child, and no amount of magic could ever help a child defeat an army of highly-trained adults. So he switches bodies, uses some of the strongest magic he has ever cast, and does two things: he brings himself to the small pocket in reality that he has hidden from Sirun since he first gave him his true name, and he transports the people who might be able to help him complete the plan he has spent millennia planning with the use of a magical charm.
Due to be in such a frantic state of mind, Kartiel doesn't think when he reaches out to these people – his mind just goes to the people that have been involved in his schemes, in Rendra's schemes and in Thymea's.
And that's where our story begins.
