calling of the universe

The void looks darker, now. Another earthquake (Grian’s calling them that, he's decided, regardless of how far away he is from land) strikes, and the loosely draped hands around their little group aren’t enough to stop them from being jolted apart. And being separated further and further, unrelentingly, until they can’t reach each other anymore.The worst thing is that it doesn’t even stop there. The shaking continues on, and they’re just desperately reaching out, swinging limbs at each other in an attempt to catch. But there’s nothing to push against—Grian feels like a mouse in a wheel, exerting all his energy and not moving one bit.The shaking continues. And continues, and continues. And they just get pushed further and further apart.Grian doesn’t quite know how that works. How the shakes are moving them when they themselves cannot.

Hermitcraft's moon has been looking pretty huge lately. We know how that story ends—Boatem stranded in the void. But what happens after that, when Grian gets separated from his friends, ending up alone (or so it seems) in an empty world with nothing but the universe itself to contend with?As it turns out, quite a lot.
