Nihility embraces all
Work log: ?
The colors in the sky, so vivid and fluid, represent the strokes of an old brush upon a canvas. Long strokes of purple and dark blue weave through and by lost asteroids and stars ready to explode. Everything is so eerily still. The comet that was on its way to burn through the atmosphere looks like a scratch over a metal plate, a crack in time and space, and the ship’s motor no longer purrs as it began to stir to life. It is evident that the IX, Nihility has cursed this place with their presence. Cursed. Yet I can’t care to look away. It’s poison spreads through my hands, and the cask of materials doesn’t seem even the slightest bit important. Why should it?
Perhaps, if I look closer, harder, I’d be able to see an eye of the IX just beyond the horizon.
“-re you just going to stand there and gawk?”
Instead of the unblinking nothingness staring back at me, it’s the darkened gaze of the superior peering into my soul, gazing through it like the midnight sun searching for the sinner. I have been looking at her for a while, judging be the tightness that hugged my throat and the look she gave me. Her eyes were always dark, sharp, yet a few shades warmer than the cold night beyond the ship. The feeling does not wash away, but I can hear again. The team moves around me like a hive, packing bags, materials, storing away tools and papers, and her and I stand still.
“Give me the materials. You go back and take your medicine, you’re looking pale again.. Don’t look outside the windows anymore, understood?”
“..Yes, ma’am”
This idea was inspired by this post here on twt !
I really loved the idea and I have been looking for ways to draw Jien as something more Nihility related and that post just lit that spark in me. Jien as Nihility themselves. Bc spoiler (or not tbh) - she has some connections to Nihility. I often joke and think about how it would be if she even ascended to that role of an aeon of Nihility, and the possibilities are fun to think about, mainly how it would impact Proxy and other characters that are in close relations to Jien.
