-Message from Stormtree Longeyes Children of Broken Legacies (III) At once, the entire court was consumed by a muted uproar. Thoughtcasts were exchanged between guilders and their home offices. Peeking into their minds, Avo saw the mem-data flooding in, and found himself satisfied. Their thoughts were filled with satellite imaging obtained from their golems portraying the Strix Upon the Empty engaging Voidwatch assets across the void. Far above Idheim’s atmosphere, another branch of Avo's…-

-Asgard Saldur, FATELESS 28-11 Children of Broken Legacies (II) A rapturous emanation of power exploded forth from the Gatekeeper, no longer suppressed by Avo's presence. With Veylis's closing her time-wrought wounds, the Gatekeeper's microcosm of a galaxy enveloped the entire court. Walls and surfaces were unmade; stars bloomed from singular motes of light, caressing the atmosphere in a comforting ambiance. Swirling paths of nebula glided from person to person as every single conscious being within…

-Stormsparrow’s Chrous Children of Broken Legacies (I) Veylis's appearance within the gatekeeper's open wound compelled an outpouring of dread from all corners of Scale, but not from Avo. No. In his heart of hearts, he yearned for this moment, had wanted her to come and face him as she was, as she sought to present herself. The templates within him were divided. Some went still with fear. Others faced her with nervous anticipation. A few recoiled and then flared with burning hatred, and the strongest…

-Jaus Avandaer 28-10 Castigation Stunned silence occupied the immediacy after Avo's opening greeting. It was something he came to expect from the Guilders. This trial was meant to be a political circus for them, an unfortunate event transformed into a stage for their power games. But they misunderstood something. Instrument Greatling and Elder Mwaba D’Rongo were but distractions meant to lure them here, and the Gatekeeper was closer to a patient, one that Avo desired to mend of its immortal…

-Ori-Thaum Mirror Designation “Truetale” 28-9 Behold Your Savior (IV) The Heaven of Truth's words marked the ending of both Abrel and Elder D'Rongo's recountings. For the better part of two hours, they went over every detail they experienced on the day of their capture. Abrel, in particular, spoke the truth, every excruciating bit of it. She openly the entire journey to her arrival in this very court, how she had been tasked by her father to retrieve her brother, how she had delayed this time and…

-Cala Marlowe, 28-9 Behold Your Savior (III) Progressing through Axtraxis Academy made it seem more like a dungeon than an actual educational institution. It took the better part of Elder D’Rongo’s speech for Avo to guide Alysim out. The Overheaven reached out ahead using his Avoiding watchers and obstacles alike, Alysim found his way up a narrow platform down a claustrophobic hallway. The space was clearly not meant to be traveled by a person, barely large enough to accommodate the…

-Ying Yang Wei, the Stormsparrow 28-9 Behold Your Savior (II) The feeling of apprehension seeped forth from every template within Avo, and for once, he found his core self aligned with them. The Stormsparrow was unnatural, uncanny, and she looked at him with such impossible intensity that even he felt unnerved. And then there was that faint melody playing in the backdrop. A chorus of voices singing together, but composed by various expressions captured across reality — they were the crashing of waves,…

-Avo, the Dreamer of Ashes, Devourer of All Paths Behold Your Savior (I) Abrel would have preferred a certain execution over being lowered into the Court of Truth. With an execution, at least one knew what to expect and what was to come. Here, now, there was hope. Hope and judgment. But in her case, it was even worse because her family was involved. Her father, Vator, they were both here too. And they were in as much danger as she was. Perhaps even more. The propagating bricks of Scale formed an…

-Cala Marlowe, 28-8 Opening Arguments (IV) Abrel’s return to Idheim was as quick as it was jarring. The Unwhere was effectively a place in constant transition. The Instrument existed within a beam that jumped from satellite to satellite, dancing across the void. For the week she spent there, she was conscious but somewhat divorced from having a body. After the voiders had returned her, she was briefly examined by the Paladins and then placed in another constellation of satellites. And there she…

-The Famine of 28-8 Opening Arguments (III) It took everything Uthred Greatling had to choke down his sickness. The Chief Paladin's might was beyond measure, for he was might itself. Uthred, though capable of burning blight and cleaving space to carve matter and metaphysics alike, was but a practitioner of war, a slave beneath the master of violence and force themselves. Though Uthred struggled, Naeko decided, and that was all. "What is this?" he managed to choke out, his anger and fear warring…
