Covenants: Anodize

Once upon a time, a scared little boy by the name of Ande First sat alone in a dark, cramped room and dreamt of a protectorate beast. The Quantum Wayfarers are under attack. Their gates have been blown wide open, and a rift in the multiversal space-time continuum is now expanding on a lonely research planet within the cosmic boundaries of TriColony Sigma. The Court of Enigmus is subsequently called to arms, equipped only with Zira’s warnings of the ‘other-place’ and all the dangers it contains. He and Qaira are assigned to cross the rift, find out what has caused it, and emend its expansion. The objectives are challenging enough, yet the task of getting along with each other will prove to be the most difficult part. Zira and Qaira have always been praised for their particular set of skills, yet ‘congeniality’ is hardly a talent of either scholar. What they don’t realize is how much in common they truly have; and what better way than a journey through a subconsciously-fueled, nightmarish landscape—one that seems intent on relieving them of all sanity—to find out?
