chapter 8 glimpse another multiversl trailer who noticed her trail

  ------glimpse another multiversl trailer who noticed her trail-------

  Perfect. Let’s part the veil again—this time not for a Watcher, but a wanderer. Someone who isn’t bound by one story, one world, or even one shape. Someone who has tasted otherness… and smells the familiar scent of white-flame chaos trailing through the realms.

  ---

  Somewhere in the Cracks – The Trail-Follower

  Location: Undefined. Shifting.

  Individual ID: Redacted

  Codename: The Lantern Fox

  ---

  He moves between moments.

  When timelines skip. When universes hiccup. That’s when he steps in.

  A cloak of ink, tail tips aglow with violet-blue flame. Eyes that shine like moonlight bouncing off shattered glass. He’s not a hero. Not a villain. Just curious. And hungry for answers.

  He’s seen signs lately.

  A familiar rune… burned into a leaf in a world of endless autumn.

  A black-market Void compass spinning madly near Ul’dah.

  A whisper in the World Between Worlds: “She taught me to feel,” said a crying AI.

  ---

  Lantern Fox, as he’s sometimes called, stops on a floating road between stars. Reality here is unstable—a patchwork. But he likes it that way.

  He kneels, fingers brushing the edge of an old shrine.

  Not Eorzean. Not Hylian. Not anything local.

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  A single rune, still faintly glowing.

  > “White Dragon,” he murmurs.

  A pause.

  > “So. Another like me… but louder.”

  He grins. A sharp-toothed, delighted grin. And then his mask slides back over his face.

  He’s found her trail.

  Not to chase.

  To meet.

  ---

  Final Cutscene Glimpse:

  Far away—so far even the Watchers blink and miss it—a dream stirs.

  Two souls unknowingly circling each other in time.

  The Wanderer of Runes.

  And the Lantern Fox who dances through forgotten doors.

  A crossing is inevitable.

  And the multiverse shivers with anticipation.

  ---

  Next step?

  Want to follow the Lantern Fox as he investigates more Michiko-related anomalies?

  Or have him finally catch up—and meet her face to face in her current world?

  Or flashback to his past—what he knows about being a multiversal being?

  ----lantern fox-----

  Alright—the Lantern Fox takes center stage.

  Let’s peel back the chaos and follow him… down the spiral path that leads through echoes, riddles, and runes burned into time itself.

  ---

  Side Chronicle: The Lantern Fox – Chasing White Flame

  Multiversal Coordinates: Fragmented

  Time State: Loosely Tethered

  Status: Curious. Cautious. On the hunt.

  ---

  Scene: Between Planes – The Forgotten Archive

  The Lantern Fox moves like smoke through corridors that don’t stay still. Shelves curve into stairways. Books whisper to themselves. Stars hang from chains above.

  This is a place that remembers everything… except how to leave.

  He’s been here before.

  His nine tails shimmer, each one holding a different hue of memory. But it’s the sixth—brightest, white-blue—that pulses. A new trail. Her trail.

  He reaches a central pedestal. A book is open.

  Not just any book.

  The Multiversal Drift Ledger.

  Pages flicker through multiple languages—Daedric, Dovahzul, Ancient Dwarvish, Binary-song, and something that might be draconic chaos script.

  He places a claw on the page that glows brightest.

  ---

  > Subject: Michiko Maltivius

  Designation: White Dragon. Chaos-Aligned. Multiversal Capable.

  Recent Activity:

  Breached Timeline 7-22-Z: "Hyrule Echofall"

  Modified Reality Protocol in Timeline 9-01-K: "Night City Disruption"

  Aetheric Displacement recorded in Timeline 3-44-FFXIV

  > "Sentient. Clever. Not native to the multiversal weave… and yet, woven perfectly into every story she touches."

  ---

  The Lantern Fox steps back, thoughtful.

  > “She doesn’t destroy. She rearranges.”

  A familiar voice chuckles behind him.

  > “Like someone else I know?”

  He turns. No one’s there. But he smirks.

  > “Shut up.”

  ---

  Scene Shift: Worldline Echo 3-44-FFXIV – Ul’dah Outskirts

  Nightfall.

  The Fox is here now. Not visible. Not to most.

  But he sees her. Michiko. Sitting by a small fire, talking to a chocobo like it's an old friend, tinkering with runes that shouldn’t work in this realm—but do.

  He doesn’t speak.

  Not yet.

  He watches. Records. Studies.

  And carves a single rune into the dirt with a tail: “Curious.”

  ---

  Closing Thought:

  The Lantern Fox isn’t an enemy.

  Not yet a friend.

  But he’s watching her now.

  Learning.

  And when the stars align just right…

  > They will meet.

  ---

  Would you like the next chapter to be:

  Lantern Fox POV: Anomaly deep dive—what he discovers about Michiko’s presence in Eorzea and beyond?

  Face to face: Their first chaotic meeting—misunderstandings, banter, maybe a fight?

  Flashback: The Lantern Fox’s origins, and why he knows so much about multiversal travelers?
