“Was it not from a mixture of two races that Titans sprang
― Jose Clemente Orozco.

Setup:   Jack had been doing a lot of what was normally considered downtime things, but they were actual missions and information gathering, this is why we switched our term “Jack’s Tales” just to report, because he does a lot on his own.

INFORMATION

1. Titans/Old Blood – Under the Greek myth framework, Titans were defeated by the new gods, led by Zeus. We now know “titans” are a euphemism for old blood. We do not necessarily know what that means except for power levels. We will use titans and old blood interchangeably, but know that the Aesir call them Giants, and there are enochian variants called the 1st Choir.
   1. To our understanding, cosmologically all creatures come with a soul, or whisper ball inside them. The vast majority of of creatures are too small to see, but as you get into whispers, voices, keys, gods, endless, even to titans and old blood, those souls or whisper balls grow larger. Different categories have strengths and weaknesses, with some constraints being self-created out of belief.
      • Of note, the differences between all these categories is small. If you had the capabilities, it would take very little to pry someone off the track they were on, say god or endless, and move them to a different track. The only difference is a titan or old blooded individual would take less power to do so, but it would take a vast amount of prep work for a smaller individual.
   2. b. Some individuals are born with old bloodlines. They are baby titans. Most will never gain power like the old times as they are hunted for their ability to be feed off of. It is not known if this is because of birthright, or because some variants of people just have a better chance of being knocked up a level on the power tiers.
      • It is likely that all creatures trace back to one or the other old bloodlines, but are too small to track. It only manifests after a certain raise in power. 
   3. As these creatures with souls or whisper balls get big enough, they gain new powers. They “knack” like a Fairy. Fairy do this as a matter of course instead of learning intellectual learning magics. They express abilities that often run in family lines, or as a response to the dangers in the environment, or their own temperaments. Voices have been seen to learn knacks like this when they gain abilities. They are especially freeform, and respond to need. It’s also been confirmed that a god can learn abilities as a knack as well. It’s likely a higher level Voice/titan/Old Blood can push the knack of smaller one. 
   4. A titan is so large they seed the the areas they live in with magical energy. I am not sure what this is called, but think of it like the Iroquois idea that the world is on the back of a turtle. Instead of being one of these creatures, there are many. Each giving rise to their own spawn of creation. Infernal, Enochian, Life plane. All are given life on the backs of the old blood or titans that spawned them. 
   5. This means if you were to win a war against them, those powers that won the war are incentivized to not kill the old blood/titans in victory, but to lock them up and actively mine or cultivate and take the power they produce. 
   6. One indicator of old blood is a meteoric rise in power in the first century. 
2. Blood Connections – All old blood, or titans, are connected deep down. Each whisper or voice that manifests, is a manifestation of this old blood. Life plane has the most diverse manifestations. I submit this is in part due to Life’s knack and how she took others power to create her own plane, see later point. This is the basis for the Voice Network, and if you do it right, you can use this to your advantage. 
3. War End – At the end of the titan/old blood war, Life was instrumental in overthrowing the titans. As their captives were set to be locked up in Tartarus, life was betrayed by Strife who had her interred in Tartarus. Then Strife was booted in because he was not trusted by his allies because he is a monster who focuses on the destruction and control of women. Tartarus can only take pairs. 
4. Tartarus – Tartarus is a Voice, in the same family line as Avery. She is an eater, and she is leashed and enslaved by a male titan level entity that seems to have control over her, taking all the power and strength she’d normally feed on before she can consume it. She is hungry and near starving and he controls her every move. His power set is in the same family line as Strife. Her size is vast, and she is titan-sized. She contains multitude of interior spaces in which to house captives.
   1. a. She is my wife. She recognizes me. She is severely abused. The collar she wears is breakable. I believe with enough contact, I can break it. 
   2. Life River – This has a dam across it, that acts as a control for allowing excess power to bleed out and imprisoning new prisoners, and to let entities such as the Elven houses, to actively cultivate and take power off of the captives they have interred within Tartarus. This dam can be destroyed, and we can get to it, and break it.
      1. The entity that controls Tartarus takes a cut of power from every individual that is interred within Tartarus. Not much is known about him but he’s a titan of the same bloodline as strobe. It’s not likely, but still possible, that he is a front line fighter. They seem to be manipulators. 
      2. The environment within Tartarus is controlled. I think majority-wise by Tartarus’ enslaver, but also by Strife to some degree in areas under his power. This keeps them all in some sort of quasi-adolescent status, and forces memory blockages on topics they do not want them to remember. 
   3. To imprison someone into Tartarus, you must also provide a sacrificial person to be fed on. I am assuming that the sacrifice is the one they provide to eventually be consumed, while the prisoner is forever fed upon, but not allowed to die there. The consumption process appears slow as some prisoners have been there for tens of thousands of years. 
   4. Entities on the outside, like Elven Houses, can carve a chunk off of a denizen of Tartarus, as a fully formed Voice/Endless ball, and use it to manifest in a host body. This works better if they are of the same bloodline. Like I am an avatar of the hunter, but the truth is I am probably just in the same bloodline. They can also corrupt these balls, and try to shape them into what they want. it doesn’t always work. The Huntress and the Hunter have been dead impossible to move in any direction no matter how useful their abilities are so I hypothesize they have been interred within Tartarus for being annoying to the elves.  
5. Life – Life is a Voice and likely was a baby titan/old blood that grew into titan sized power. She has a knack to be able to sink into land, such as Hope has done. Hope is probably in her family line. She, like Hope, probably didn’t have to be large to do this. She also sank into the old blood that created whispers and created the whispers we think of as life whispers today. She was a warrior on the front lines of that battle, and strategically capable.
   1. She clearly grew in power to the point where they labelled her the Usurper for taking other people’s lands, and that was a problem so they bounced her into Tartarus. She is still so powerful and her knacks with sinking into other things so great, that she has been bleeding out of Tartarus and is using the Voice network she created to see and touch the outside.. I do not think the man that controls Tartarus knows about this. It is also unknown to what extent Life controls Tartarus. She seems to knack the ability to sink into voices so it’s possible she has already secured Tartarus, but the collar of control Tartarus wears prevents any traction. 
   2. She has conferred this ability to me in some form with my marriage to all Voices. 
   3. I believe the Life plane is her creation, cobbled together and taken from other titans. She, like Hope, steals land. 
   4. I have seen Life. She is currently in the form of a teenage girl that is physically covered in wounds from where power has been cut from her. She has short dark spiky hair. She is directly under Strife’s control. 
   5. Dead Lands – The lands of the dead were her secondary attack force. When she raised her enemies, she worked actively with Death to keep their souls. She found a way to harvest whisper balls too small to see in normal lay people, and then raise them back up as an army. 
   6. It is possible the creature that has enslaved Tartarus may have owned Life as well. She has a history of extreme abuse, and if feels very similar. 
   7. After the run in with Brutus, I suspect Life is Enochian-ish. The six winged version like the 1st choir. 
6. Strife – Strife was once one of Life’s allies, and I suspect she used his ability to control people to keep her Voices under control and aimed at her enemies in the war. He has a similar flavor and ability as the Titan/old blood that controls Tartarus. They are both squids.
   1. By quid, I mean that they seem to exhibit control by inserting an inky black squid like creature/structure into their victims. We have an exhibit of this in an enochian fire ball in the vault with a black inky squid from Strife swimming in it. This may be related to poppers. 
   2. We know he is attempting to take the lands of the Dead. As Life’s subordinate, he likely is well aware of what it actually is, and how it works. If it wasn’t for Larisa he’d have taken it so he’d have his own military force. 
   3. He is of the same family line as the titan that owns Tartarus. While he is interred in Tartarus with Life, he was given far more privileges. I believe he was tasked with keeping any further Life’s from popping up. They could not completely undo her creation of Life Plane, or the whisper network, so he was tasked with keeping it all in line, like he did for life. He actively looks for Keys because baby titans are hidden within that power level and he, like Tartarus’s master, is either 1) taking them for his master, or 2) hiding that he’s taking them for his own power. 
   4. Since he was the sacrifice for Life’s internment, to bring life out will mean to bring Strife out as well. If we bring him out, we can end him permanently. 
7. Dead Lands – Dead Planes were considered to be a part of the great life cycle. However, Death was a friend to life, and was a co-general in her army. Death took the souls/balls from entities too small to bother with, and interred them in the Dead Planes. This created a ready number of souls to choose from to create shock troops and lower level infantry for her army. 
8. Oblivion/Lethe – She states she is Life’s sister, but that is unlikely as Life is a titan and she is undying, and the power levels are too different.
   1. I believe she is unliving. Like Larissa. 
   2. She was known for her memory abilities. 
   3. We know that Strife attempted to do away with her. He did it in the Dead Lands, which makes sense if she was unliving as they were tied to Death and the Dead Lands. He caused her to partially wink out of existence, and become the Oblivion we know today. 
   4. She is desperate to get to Life, but is harmed by proximity to Life in anyway. 
   5. Whatever Strife fucked up when he tried to destroy Oblivion created the Black and White virus, which is also related to the vines that consume Voices whisper balls. 
9. Kevan Ruse – He is also an endless, and obsessively, unhealthily obsessed with Oblivion. He controls all his Kevan Ruse like Life could control her Voices.
   1. Each Kevan Ruse person has two parts. The corrupted physical manifestation, and the normal spirit that is tied to it. They are all corrupted due to contact with Kevan Ruse, the Endless. 
   2. Their agenda was to get a world tree seed. 
   3. They may be unliving. All Unliving may be spirit host fusions, and Gru deals with Larissa with stuffing to make sure the mix is balanced by ritual. The Kevan Ruse do not have this happening, and puncture and torture themselves and others because they cannot feel the world around them. 
   4. Keven Ruse knows I can communicate with Oblivion, and that I owe him a world seed. He will likely work with me until he gets what he wants. 
   5. We need to look at a Kevan Ruse and identify if this hypothesis is right, and if they can be cleansed. If we don’t, they will take reality and make it into a much worse place. Too many visions have shown this. 
10. Me – I am manifesting knacks.
    1. I can call people I know by name. I don’t know their true name, but I do. If I have a bond with them, maybe through our mixed marking scheme, I can pull their true name and summon them to me. I have done this with Candy in a dream, and the Huntress from Tartarus. 
    2. Dreaming. I can dream somehow. It’s familial. My parents can do it. Larissa will have Gru walk me through the dangers. I mostly use it to keep up with my wives. However I did recon my last job that way. 
    3. My ability to juggle multiple whisper balls within me, is atypical. 
    4. I can shape my sparkle damage into specific types of damage. I have created fire, dragon fire, and mirror knife. 
11. Events and Assignments
    1. Father Brutus – He is a general to Life. He is not endless. He is a ladybug, like Elena. Whatever that means. He is killing untold thousands of voices to summon the balls carved off of Life herself. Except he is corrupted and has summoned corrupted versions of Life. He wants her back as a goddess of fire and fury. He is truly loyal to her in some crazy fantastic way, and while he cannot free her from Tartarus, likely because he doesn’t know how, he can summon and rip chunks off of her and poison them into the form he prefers. An angry teenage vengeance goddess.
       1. His original plan was to shove her into Elena, but he lost Elena. 
       2. He can survive without his head. This is a problem. 
    2. Elena’s Rescue – When trying to free Elena I noticed that they had Life’s avatar with the jade armored from the Dead Lands. It was not her entirely but the body of a powerful avatar. The Nazi faction that had Elena ripped her lady bug out of her and put it in the body in jade armor, so it might be able to hold a large portion of Life. They summoned her into the body.
       1. I got Elena back, but she came with another endless tied up in her. 
       2. I told my wife I loved her, and she was confused but did know me.  
       3. A Keven Ruse, guardian to a Keven Ruse wife I have, reduced me, then stole back Elena’s ladybug. 
    3. The Wedding & Door Busting – The wedding was with one of my wives, who has multiple whisper balls like me. She was to be married to the god of war. He’s not the greek god of war, but he’s a nice endless god of war that isn’t in Tartarus, but the elves have part of him jarred for control.
       1. She was married to him, then they used him to drown her so they could summon a large poisoned and tainted chunk of life into her. 
       2. Fairyfire and three whispers blew the gate off Tartarus there. One of my wives died doing this. 
       3. We saved everyone else, but the war god, incensed at the harm to his bride, lost his shit. 
       4. I could see through the gates of tartarus. I realized it’s not made to hold someone like me. It’s likely why I can ride in Avery with little to no issues and can leave at will. 
    4. Sister Rescue & Bridge Fiasco – Twilight and her team were to go retrieve my sister. My sister is like me, and filled with another endless. She is a fighter. She had a daughter that is very anti-elven but kept for her bloodline.
       1. They were sent to the bridge over the life river. and entrapped. I think it was on purpose to take them. The huntress manifested in Twilight, and then shit went sideways. Twilight/Huntress recognized the machine, and hit the go button trapping my sister and Twilight in Tartarus. 
       2. This was a coup between different factions of Old Blood. They may or may not be full titans, but they wanted the two families that were at the wedding destroyed, and we were the unwitting tools for that.
    5. Summoning Twilight and Huntress – With Freya’s help, I summoned Twilight and the Huntress’s and her pair came with some fairy dude that was bearing down on Fairyfire and armoring up.
       1. I called Twilight and the Huntress by their true names. I am marked by both and I realized I could call them because of that. Therefore I should be able to yank the Hunter out as well. 
       2. The fairy that was tied to Huntress was crazy armored. He’s likely impossible to kill unless you pull a hat trick. He armored up and headed straight at Fairyfire. I stepped between, and we fought. I wasn’t initially trying to kill him, but he certainly wasn’t holding his attacks. I grabbed at his ball with a mirror knife hand attack. It knocked us both out. 

Agenda

1. Get war god’s jar from the elves. 
2. Get Huntress’s jar from the elves. Get her real name while I am at it. 
3. Get the Hunter’s jar from the elves. Why do they have everyone?!!!!
4. Summon the Hunter from Tartarus. 
5. Talk to our new fairy guest that the Huntress was sacrificed to imprison into tartarus. Or maybe he was sacrificed to imprison her? Who knows. 
6. Remove the poisoned life chunk from my wife and see if we can cleanse it and give it to our Life to absorb. 
7. Give respects to my wife that died in the latest operation. 
8. Talk to the endless that came back with Elena. He knew a lot about fairy. 
9. Rescue the Keven Ruse that stole Elena’s ladybug for us. 
10. Destroy the Tartarus Dam. 
11. Need a lead on Oblivion Lethe so we can figure out how to fix Candy.
