To go forward, we have to go back. Hey author, can you help me out?

OK, tell me when I quoting the right part. "A clown clad in black and white grabs your shoulder,"

Further. You know, his back story? Or at least how Neutrality became what he is?

Oh, that. Sure, it was in another world, many many years ago. First, can we talk?

Sure, what's wrong?

The readers, they wish to return to this world.

So what's the plan? It's to late for them to save this world.

They'll be exiles, outsiders looking in. Now, on with the show.

The author sits with Neutrality in a different world. Neutrality, I know you've been developing lately.

"How did you know?" Neutrality asks.

You're still an extension of me, for now. Listien, you're not some blank, emotionless Oracle anymore. If you want to be your own individual, you can. Just prove to me you are.

"I already have," Neutrality smirks.

How so?

"Cause you didn't know my reasoning and had to ask, therefore, I'm now sperate."

I! I didn't even! Ugh. Man, I wanted a deep, philosophical debate, but you just destroyed my whole argument. Well, you'll become your own character soon. When you do, you'll change appearance. How do you wanna look?

" White hair, tall, green eyes, awesome cape."

No capes!

"Why not?"

For the reference. Anyways, I'll give you a cloak.

The author writes in his journal, and Neutrality morphs, becoming as he described.

Now, I understand if you wanna leave, but if we're still cool, there's another story I'm working on. Wanna tag along?

"What about the war?"

Joy will stay behind, already talked to him. Ready?

"Yup."

I write in my journal again. Providing a 4th wall breaking transition to another flashback mere years ago.

Neutrality and him sit on a ledge over looking a void. They're in the author's palace, which is connected to G.3.K.'s palace. Using the gods as a last line of defense to defend the journal. Neutrality is writing in the journal. It controls this world and can even break lore. He's writing future events that could happen. What will happen can vary, but must follow lore. A character can change what the journal says, their fates aren't written, it only controls the world around them.

"So, Bloody Barron," Neutrality begins to ask, "how you been?"

Bloody Barron, that's his name. Well, more of a title, he has no real name.

Decent, I've been wondering, am I in that journal?

"You know only gods and authors can read the journal, Hatred will kill you."

Oh cmon, I get along with the emotions well enough, besides, you're here. With a pal like you, we'll be fine. I trust you bro.

Neutrality smiles and hands him the journal.

Let's see. Says here I was born of someone who tried to steal the story, and if I read this journal I'll be erased from existence.

"No way," Neutrality replies, "relax. I'm gonna grab a soda." The Bloody Barron sits, awaiting his friend's return. He doesn't notice as Hatred dashes forward with inhuman speed. As the blade cuts into the Barron's flesh, my vision goes dark. I fall into the abyss, but I refuse to die. I find another broken soul, and together, incomplete and weak, we come back. Now, only one thing matters, I don't care who has to die. I don't care how this effects the Ascension. I am the Bloody Barron, and I will do whatever it takes to save me and my friend.
