| And a child shall appear....

The microverse has plummeted into dark chaos at the decree of Makhaa! Our heroes have been beaten. When all is lost and hopes are shattered, the most powerful being to ever enter the micro realm appears. The being calls itself “Cerulean” and in a wave of some unknown energy, a calm settles. Makhaa and her hordes still exist but have been displaced. The chaos is at a sudden end. Heroes lost or fallen remain as such. Survivors find new purpose. The microverse will never be quite the same. But, as Cerulean says, “if you hold on to the innocence seemingly lost and never forget ME, then all will be as it should, and you will forever shine”
