Voice of Time (beta 0.1)

Skint are particles of a planeswalker's Spark that remain in the interdimensional void during travel between worlds; planeswalker energy that materializes due to the malfunctioning of matter in interdimensional space. Only time always functions correctly, so the Spark takes material form, and a single transition creates a small particle of skint.[1] Skint appears as a durable yellow crystal, extremely difficult to break or extract without specialized equipment. It grows naturally in certain defective worlds and pocket dimensions that lack a strong barrier between the voids. Thus, skint crystals form in Lololoshka's pocket dimension.

Skint is accepted as currency in a very limited number of worlds, where planeswalkers are numerous and well-known. In others, useful and necessary resources are used. In Neutraxis, this is gold, as it's used for microchips; in boring Silevius, it's equally boring iron; and in Thirteen, of course, it's tricks.[2] Skint is the primary currency in Poen, where planeswalkers ascribe various magical properties to it, though given its origin, this is unsurprising. Despite its already high value, skint is also needed to power the golden, most important statue of the God of Time in Poen, which sustains the entire Between Worlds.

Divers obtain it by jumping between worlds, and then trade it with members of other guilds for various wonders of the Interworld. In The Voice of Time, Lololoshka's main source of skint was San Fran's shop, and later, Charlie's. Only mages capable of opening portals are eligible to become divers, as they don't use Poena's central portal. According to San Fran, this work is not easy.

It's a small temple of light-brown bricks, located in a bottomless void. In one wall is a large spruce door leading into the void. Instead of a ceiling, there are endless rows of lamps. Over time, it has become covered in a multitude of skinta. To enter the dimension, you need to say "Prunus," and to return, "Malus." It could have been a full-fledged dimension, if not for Shangrin's laziness.[1]Access to the dimension: It is accessible to:

Previously owned by: Ashra · Cedric · Valdhar · Stella · Jodah · Oketra · San Fran · Faragonda · Laietana · Sderic Having accidentally encountered Lololoshka in the Interworld after a long time, Shangrin told him about an old gift, after which Loloshka decided to explore the dimension with Ashra, where they discovered accumulated skint. Through a bugged wormphone, San-Fran learned of the dimension, and later, he and Cedric developed a skint cutter to mine the growths of these crystals in Lololoshka's dimension. Lololoshka's pocket dimension in The Voice of Time plays no other plot role beyond serving as a source of skint, which will later help the heroes save the Interworld from destruction by powering the main statue of the God of Time.

Village of Hope Main article: Village of Hope The Village of Hope is a small community first featured in Episode 89 of Voice of Time. Here, former Vidomnia prisoners learn to work together: they grow food, gather brushwood, chop firewood, and so on. In the evenings, they can share their experiences in the tower to ease their emotional pain.

At Ashra's insistence, Dusks were also added to the prisoners: she intended to fight for their rights and ensure they would be treated equally to any other living being. But due to Ebardo's planned attack on Poena, the villagers had to be evacuated.

Vidomnia Main article: Vidomnia Vidomnia is the primary reason for the existence of the Interworld. It was erected by a congress of planeswalkers and non-planeswalkers assembled by Faragonda. It is a massive tower where the most dangerous planeswalker criminals are held. They are constantly subjected to their greatest fear, slowly and painfully losing their Spark. When the WMD is completely depleted, the planeswalkers transform into helpless dusks, after which they are released. The former prisoners have only two options: either try in vain to survive in the Interworld, or go to Poena, becoming part of the lowest caste in the city.

Because of Eo's stories, Lololoshka initially formed the wrong impression of Vidomnia. Faragonda was presented as a being without a Spark, desiring to travel between worlds and collecting the energy of others to do so[4] (which turned out to be untrue). Eo also never mentioned Vidomnia as a prison. And since the tower is not generally spoken of in Poena, the truth came to light too late. Even so, the protagonist decided to continue helping Eo, as punishing planeswalkers by depriving them of their own organ is wrong. The tower was destroyed, but because of this decision, many dangerous criminals were released. They had to be recaptured and reeducated, sometimes forcibly detained in the Betweenworld. PoenaPoena is a settlement that was formed amid protests from planeswalkers who had previously worked with Faragonda after discovering her methods of incarcerating prisoners. One of the mages taught other mages to open a portal to the Interworld, after which this place very quickly became a "den for dubious planeswalkers."[5] At first it was a small village, but gradually it grew into an entire city, becoming the main center of all planeswalking affairs and the safest place in the Interworld.

Poena is divided into five districts, each controlled by one of the guilds: Smugglers, Thieves, Mages, Assassins, and Spice Traders. Their leaders are responsible for

The Interworld is an incomplete, even somewhat pocket-sized dimension, created solely by a single structure—Vidomnia. Only planeswalkers can enter it, and then only by their own free will (Lololoshka is an exception), but returning or traveling to any other location using the Spark is no longer possible[2], which is the basis of the tower's operating principles (see Vidomnia). The only way out is through a magical portal[2], which is actively used by mages in Poena. Once you've visited the Interworld, you always know how to reopen the portal. Planeswalkers who lack the ability to use magic also enter it through an extinguished skint, which can be purchased from a mage near the Central Portal in Poena's main square. Unknown Cave: The place where Lololoshka awoke after a long sleep. Inside is a double bed, on one half of which lies a skeleton, a fire, a chest with items, and a statue of the God of Time. The hotel "room" contains helmets, weapons, armor racks, a fire, and two tables, one of which has a fragment of a wanted poster for the Interworlder hanging next to it.

It's unknown who this cave belonged to. Its previous owner could potentially have been the skeleton on the bed. Crow-tow Vukha also comes here periodically, where Lololoshka learns combat skills. The poster of the Interworlder was hung by Eo.[3]

A tall, dark-eyed woman of advanced age with short, gray hair. She wears a black jacket with a cornflower-blue button-down and short sleeves, under which she wears a white shirt with a golden gem sewn onto the collar. A white skirt covers her legs, and she wears black shoes. Faragonda has never understood the futuristic fashion in worlds like Neutroxy[2], and therefore prefers to wear a business suit. She is based on Faragonda, a fairy from the Winx Club, with whom she shares not only the same name but also a similar appearance. Faragonda's character and motives are debatable. Initially, due to Eo's false stories, she was presented as an evil and envious old woman, willing to do anything to achieve her goal, no matter how inhumane the path. The inhabitants of Poena, the "city of crime," share this opinion, as Faragonda has never maintained good relations with them and has caused them significant damage in its wars. In a way, they're right: no one deserves to relive their nightmares over and over for hundreds of years. This truly is torture, not the "humanism" envisioned in Vidomnia's slogan.

On the other hand, Faragonda is a truly noble woman. All her actions were aimed at the common good and safety, not at acquiring the Spark. When Vidomnia was destroyed, she chose to surrender voluntarily, realizing that "it's impossible to save a world that doesn't want to be saved."

An older, green-eyed, gray-haired man with large gray eyebrows, he wears a long, dark gray trench coat with long sleeves. He wears a black fedora as a hat. He has yellow eyeballs, like all Dusks, but to hide this, he wears Observer Bubble lenses, which make his eyes appear green. After his escape, Ebardo dressed up, combed his hair, and became much more polished, and all the scars on his body disappeared (most likely achieved with magic). In episode 80, we see the criminal in gray jeans and a white T-shirt, as well as a stylish, bright green sweater with pulled-up sleeves that perfectly matches the color of his eyes. Calm and level-headed, but with his quirks. He can be quite emotional, but quickly calms down. Due to post-traumatic stress disorder, he can lose all sense of reality when reminded of nightmares in Vidomnia, panicking and convincing himself he's safe. Because of this, when the old man met Lololoshka, he believed him to be a hallucination.

Eo can be very persuasive and hides his true feelings well. He has a unique approach to every type of person, even those like Button. Ebardo is a strong, strong-willed, and decisive individual. He doesn't like to procrastinate, is impatient, and quick-tempered. However, he is quite a gambler and has a weakness for bets, which he hates to lose. However, he usually breaks the terms if this happens.

He could be described as the very man who became "drunk" with power, having discovered incredible abilities within himself. Ebardo is convinced that this is the only thing that matters. Other beings in the multiverse seem stupid and weak-willed to him, and he takes the fact that there are countless worlds as an argument for permissiveness. Faragonda's torture only exacerbated the situation, making his behavior seem terrifying even for the undead. Ebardo is extremely cruel to his subordinates, whom he has won over to his side, keeping them in line with force and intimidation. Impreptoka is so...

San Fran has white hair, braided into two short ponytails on either side of his face and a high ponytail in the back. He wears a cornflower-blue floor-length cape, typical of mages, and a white shirt underneath. A distinctive element of his attire is a thin necklace with a faceted amethyst in the center.

His "summer" outfit consists of a gold T-shirt with short sleeves and black cuffs, along with the same necklace. He wears white pants and black shoes below the waist. Fran changes his hair ties for each of his outfits; in his summer outfit and smuggler uniform, they are orange with purple accents on the high ponytail. He's quite cheerful and friendly, but mostly only with those he trusts. He rarely speaks to strangers, but since almost everyone knows him, this isn't a problem.

He can be quite rude when he's not in the mood: for example, he chased Lololoshka out of the shop when he had very few customers, which made him angry. He loves to make a good impression on others. Despite this, he's incredibly hot-tempered and loses control of himself when he's in a rage, attacking everyone he meets. He can't resist repaying his debts. He dislikes and is terrible at delivering bad news.

A girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a brown buttoned vest with a gold badge on the upper right side. The smugglers' symbol—a gray wolf's head—is embroidered on the back. Around her neck lies a fur coat, possibly made from the hide of a slain animal. Sometimes, she can be seen in Eressia wearing a black tank top. Ashra has a rather daring but broken character, the result of her absent parents and growing up in "cruel and terrible Poena." She dislikes forays into the Between Worlds, having long since grown tired of its gloomy, cold landscapes and the undead that dwell there, so she was delighted to find herself in the bright and warm Eressia. She's extremely distrustful of strangers, but quite warm to her friends and guildmates, considering them her family. She clearly feels lonely and abandoned, though she tries not to show it. She's used to entertaining and cheering herself up in any way she can, even if it might seem silly to an outsider. She can easily mistake friendships or simply someone's sympathy for romance, as happened in one episode when Ashra and Lololoshka "got lost in the moment" and kissed.[4]

Shangrin, like other purple dragons, is impressively tall—approximately four meters. His eyes are red, and his face, with its large mandibles, is hidden beneath black and scarlet clothing that completely conceals his appearance. He resembles an anthropomorphic black insect with three pairs of wings, which distinguishes him from other purple dragons, who have only two.[3] Shangrin also has a small tail, reminiscent of a scorpion's. Before founding the Cult of the Resurrection, Shangrin was heartless and cruel. Like other members of his race, he exterminated dozens, even hundreds, of worlds. All he thirsted for was blood and power.

Over more than 400 years on Aloterra, Shangrin has become calm and reasonable, yet still possesses a certain arrogance, a logical trait given his immense power. At the same time, he is willing to help those he likes, which characterizes him as a rather kind being. Otherwise, he behaved quite moderately. Aloterra's social system held no interest for him; he was only concerned with the strength and delicacy of the Will of those who came to him.[4] Thanks to Lololoshka and Jodah, he was able to overcome his pride and left Aloterra to stop the merciless bloodshed perpetrated by other crimsons and to teach them how to gain power without resorting to violence.

His body and existence depend on perception. But he chose the image close to the person himself. [2] Only white glowing eyes are visible, and the entire surface of its body is black. The Watcher wears a dark long cloak with white buttons, the cuffs of the sleeves are soft white fur, and on his head is a hood with the same fur. He does not speak, but he does not need it, because his presence can be felt mentally, in fact, as well as his speech. The viewer avoids unnecessary glances in his direction and observes his "victims", remaining in the area of their peripheral vision, which causes discomfort and anxiety. Even demons and gods, some of the strongest creatures, are afraid of him.

The viewer perceives his work as a duty, so he is "neither hot nor cold" from doing it. [2] He has his own interests and curiosity about living things, but remains committed to his goal of maintaining balance in the multiverse. [3]

Depending on the season, his appearance changes greatly, reflecting the growth of his divine power and status. Build and Height: Tall, stately man with a strong build. Face and Hair: A full-fledged representative of the Skyzer race. Initially, he had dark hair, but over the course of the story, it became completely white. He is distinguished by his expressive, cold features. Clothing: He prefers a long black and purple tabard (cape), and around his neck he wears a massive pendant with a magical stone, shimmering from blue to red. Primary Wings: Enormous, powerful, blood-black with dark red plumage. Additional Wing Pads: A second, smaller pair grows above the main wings. Huge astral eyes of a bright purple/violet color protrude from the upper wing pads, which can blink and move.

Lololoshka appears as a young man with brown hair. His signature style has been modified: he now wears headphones and neon-blue glasses. He wears a white sweatshirt and blue jeans adorned with bright blue ribbons, and turquoise sneakers. Agreeable and level-headed: Lololoshka is reasonable, mostly silent, and dislikes unnecessary chatter. Kindness and compassion: He is sympathetic, understands the plight of others, and always advocates for fairness in his dealings with other characters. Naivety and frivolity: Despite his bravery, he is characterized by inattention and a certain naivety, which sometimes leads him to make objectively wrong or rash decisions.
