Trailblazing

Such is our Nameless's way of life, exploring planets in every corner of the Cosmos and spreading freedom to those who need it.

To some, we are heroes.

To some, the Nameless is just another enemy, another threat to their undivided idealized tyranny.

And, in some rare cases, the Nameless can appear to be... Goofing around.

Such is the day when Stelle was messing around with trash cans and having the biggest roast and debate against some normal bystanders, she found a mysterious portal hidden behind a trash can and decided to venture into it... Without knowing how great of an impact it will have on her.

She then saw herself standing in a familiar place, she had been here before, many times in the Simulated Universe, yet the real feeling was once on Belobog against Cocolia... The Path Space.

Yet, unlike those instances, this time the Path Space seemed... Uniquely different, still has the same feeling but yet she can tell it is not the same, why, you may ask, it is because this resembles a living room.

She walked around, there are normal furnitures around, they are real and she can touch them, she began to have some doubts about whether is this really the Path Space or those technique point snacks finally started to kick in and now she has just broken into some stranger's house...

She heard a door open behind her.

"A visitor? How unexpected."

A voice.

Not male.

Nor female.

She cannot tell.

She turned around, she saw a radiant light blinding her sight, and instinctively closed them.

"Sorry, my child, let me tune down the brightness... You know, why you need lights around when you can radiate... Hahaha."

The light's intensity was tuned down, and Stelle opened her eyes again to look at the figure, she is now more curious about them. What kind of species can radiate? Is it a human sized Firefly? Or has Firefly adapt-

"Greetings, my child, my name is Akivili, and welcome to my domain." - The figure claimed THEMSELVES to be Akivili, the FRICKING AEON OF THE FRICKING TRAILBLAZE??? Stelle looked at THEM, THEY are wearing casual clothes, yet their face is blurred.

This is too ridiculous, she might not have been able to know if she has found another Firefly, but insulting Akivili by impersonating THEM is not forgivable, Stelle whips out her baseball bat, about to show the alleged fraud the true might of the Nameless.

The figure chuckled, clearly amused by Stelle's natural reaction, as if THEY had expected this outcome.

"Relax, my child. I can prove it to you, ask me any question you'd like to know." - THEY said, walking over to one of the cupboards and took out two cups.

"Who is the conductor of the Astral Express?" - Stelle asked.

"Of course it's Pom Pom... Don't you think that anyone who knew of the Express would know it already?" - THEY answered.

"Fair enough. If you are really Akivili, what does the Express use to travel?"

"Well, the Express has this complicated mechanism that is mostly fueled by the energy from the Trailblaze that allowed it to construct silver rails as it goes, allowing it to travel from star to star on the rail."

"Stay that again."

"What?"

"Nothing. What about the time Akivili nearly crashed the Express onto a planet?"

"Hey! To be fair I was perfectly in control of the Express at the time! Just that everyone keeps screaming in my ears when I accidentally break the brake!"

"Understandable, how about the Aha incident? Why did Akivili let him blow the Express up?" - Stelle asked, this is a question she has been having on her mind for a while now. "Oh and I hope the answer is not going to be some sort of I don't know, if you really are an Aeon, you should have known it, especially on your turf."

"Well to be fair, he said it was for some party in the Party Car and yeah..." - THEY answered, this time THEY turned around slightly and scratched the back of THEIR head nervously.

"Alright... But still that's not enough to prove anything yet..."

"Well..."

"Alright why did you disappear then?"

The alleged Akivili did not answer immediately, as if thinking for a moment, after a bit THEY turned to Stelle and answered : "I am sorry, my child. I cannot answer that, for I have a far greater duty to bear. Please understand that one day, this will all make sense."

"Alright... How is Idrila the Beau-"

"10/10 would smash again."

"What?"

"What?"
