The sky spirit of life and death Lu could be tethered down. He sets about his work in his realm. It is fall there, life flourishes and asserts itself. Lu creates 7 life acts and 3 bird acts. Then the seasons shift. Winter falls over the realm and undeath asserts itself. Lu sheds his feathers and his mask darkens. Lu shifts to his crow form, an ominous transformation in light of the coming conflict. Setting about his work, Lu empowers 8 undeath acts. He then gifts 2 undeath acts to Nefertem. His demeanor is grim, he anticipates what is to come, finding both excitement and sadness in what he must do. Freedom is at stake, and Lu would do everything he could to take hold of it.

Sphereify: 7 life acts, 3 bird acts, and 8 undeath acts. Give 2 undeath and 2 life acts to Nefertem (Max Spin)

Erin encases the flaming spear in an ethereal shield-cage using the Starsight's tool-creation ability, in order to prevent stabbyness. Furthermore, he Incarnates, wielding an ethereal sharpened shovel the size of a quarterstaff, facing up to the Titans.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Convert the required number of acts to Four Death acts, Two magic acts, and a Chaos act.

Shal transfers 2 Acts each to both Nefertem and Cerediron, in preparation for the construction of a pair of Great Prisons, or one Mighty Prison. Depends on what they finally decide upon, more Acts will likely be given later.

"And so, once more Fate reaches to a precipice. En Garde Urgast, Efanel, Gaol Ludyn. The Fate of this Universes Future lies in the Balance."

And with that, Shal Incarnates onto the Mortal Plane, wielding an Ancient staff, with her Hourglass hanging from the end of it.
Shal flips the Hourglass, and with that, sand constantly pours into it, and the Titans can feel the Flow of Time start to congeal... As to whether it will have an effect on them yet is to be seen.
But that is not all, with an effort of Power, the Threads of Space are altered, bending Space around her in subtle ways, as a basic, but first, measure of defense. With another act of Power, she peers through the Flow of Time, glistening secrets from the very near future, allowing her to dodge or adjust the defenses accordingly. And with a third and final measure of Power, her personal Gravity around her, at a certain distance, is greatly amplified and inverted; forming a Repulsion Shield to mitigate anything that may find its target through the bent space and precognitive evasion.


Incarnate onto the Mortal Plane
Use Hourglass to Slow down the Titans
1 Power: Form a 'shield' of bent Space, hopefully redirecting incoming attacks enough to degrade them to near-misses, or at least grazing wounds.
1 Power: Gaze into the very near future; gaining precognition of imminent attacks in the moments before they occur.
1 Power: Form a shell of immense inverted gravity around her, slowing any assault that manages to reach her.

Having collected as much power from his compatriots as he deemed likely, Nefertem sets about converting 4 Beauty Acts, 4 Light Acts, and 4 Suffering Acts from his normal act reserves.

Cerediron spends the turn converting 6 Acts into Essence Acts, 4 Acts into Magic Acts, and 2 Acts into Creation Acts.

Erin is willing to donate up to 5 Acts right now if other people need them for stronger actions.

Nefertem metaphorically sidles up to Erin and quietly says I could certainly appreciate such a donation toward my plans.

The
ETERNAL SAGA - one that was told in a time before time! ooc here



ACT 1: The Genesis of the World

---

TURN 1.1: Divine War

Only the crisping song of the spear's flames could be heard in this now silent universe. A silence that would not last, for far above in the Divine Plane, the unwelcome divine ones started making their move: great ripples of divine energy being transferred and transformed suddenly coursed across the planes.

At the same instant, reality bent to a knee and time stopped its race to welcomea the arrival of two divine beings.
A vibrant red fabric expanded like wings, and reformed around a petite humanoid shape.
Shal, the Ascended One, has incarnated.
A sphere formed from the ever cycling formulas and spells of another world, increasing in size until it broke like glass. Like emerging from an egg, a likewise humanoid being appeared.
Erin Quill, the Ascended One, has incarnated.

All this time, the Titans stood unmoving, unyielding. Was it from shock, or were they just contemplating the flow of events with regret?

"So be it. This farce has come to an end."


------------


Shal and Erin Quill made the first move. Using their respective Artifacts, they attempted to seal the move of the Titans.
Summoning the power of the Starsight, Erin Quill projected the blueprints of two items. A divine cage to restrict the spear's movements, and a formidable shovel surrounded by a halo of Power.
Summoning the power of the Broken Hourglass, Shal held the flow of Time surrounding the Titans. Bound by their incarnated bodies, they can all feel the weight of time crushing their incarnated forms. But as wielder of Divine powers, their souls are timeless, and bound to no law but their own.

First, a huge amount of Power was felt emanating from Gaol Ludyn as he asserted dominion over the altered flow. Shal felt her hourglass tremble as Time flowed back to normal.
The second to move was Efanel. Destructive Power ignited in large amounts as Efanel's form increased to such dimensions it was large enough to swallow the two Ascended. The Herald opened its gaping mouth, and the two Ascended saw in it the End of All Things.

Shal had foreseen this terrible attack, and formed countermeasures. Space folded a hundredfold around her forming a shield that was then reinforced with a field of tremendous anti-gravity. Shal saw that her initial estimations wouldn't stop this attack. Summoning even more Power she magnified her defenses.

The maw that could devour worlds was stopped by her divine ward, and every gods could feel the titanic shockwaves resulting from the impact echoes across the planes, even reaching as far as the Other Plane.

Shal used 8 Power

Erin took the opening granted by Shal's defense, and slashed at the Titanic One with the divine empowered shovel. The cosmic slash severed three horns from one of Efanel's horns, which came crashing in a on the Original World. The shattering impact scarred the chaotic form of the planetoid, turning the affected places into seas of twisting glass and molten rock.

Before the impact happened, Urgast revealed the Realms of the Greater Ones: all of them felt a cyclopean gaze towering above them. Before it could follow on an attack, it turned its attention away from the heavens to look at the Original World, right as the three Horns fell on it.


------------


As the battle raged in the Mortal Plane, the Greater Ones left in the Divine Plane focused their energies.

Shal, if you can keep holding him off, I can probably end the ender. Alright?

Lu's work was not finished and he set about creating a weapon. This weapon would not only secure them access to this world, but would guard it forever more against all who would seek to follow in their usurping footsteps. Lu invests a great deal of power into a weapon that represented both himself and his spheres. It was a magical doombow build from the very essence of Lu and his spheres. Like Lu, his bow had two forms. When it was in its Life form, it has two sections. The bottom half of the bow resembles an owl wing, while the bottom takes the appearance of a small tree. When the bow is in its undeath state, the wing shifts to one of a crow and the tree transforms into a spine and skull. The divine arrows shot from this bow take on the aspects of the bird. The arrows always fly forcibly, fast, and true, as if they are not mere projectiles, but hunters in their own right. Lu names the bow Jakorä. Lu's craft complete, his eyes begin to glimmer and He set out on this world's first hunt, excited by the challenge before him.

Lu uses 4 life acts, 3 bird acts, and 4 undeath acts on the weapon.

Using two undeath acts, Lu incarnates into the world. After Lu's (spectacular) appearance, he took aim and fired a volley of powerful arrows into Efanel.

"Haha... Ow. But still, it is not our ends that will be met this day!"

And with that, Shal flips her Hourglass, hastening herself and any fellow Gods that join the fight on the Mortal Plane...
But immediately after that, she takes a moment to recuperate, spending many an Act to recover her waning Power..
And with that, she peers further into the future, ready to relocate and reinforce her flagging defenses wherever they may be needed.


"Oh hi Lu! Nice of you to join us, this party sure is grand yes? You even brought a present! And that landing was very impressive, 10 out of 10 for sure!"

And with that, Shal dips into her reserves of Power and creates a long, narrow, yet unfortunately temporary zone of immense gravity, focused on Jakorä, which will enhance the speed and power of any arrow fired from it.

Use Hourglass to hasten me and the other friendly Gods on the Mortal Plane (Remember that it is merely Regional, it doesn't do cross-planar shenanigans)
Spend 4 Acts to recover 8 Power.
Spend 2 Power, to temporally boost the potency of Jakorä, through gravitic shenanigans.
Spend 1 Power, enhance Shal's precognition, giving her enough forewarning to adequately shield herself or the other Gods from any truly devastating counterattack

Nefertem projects his thoughts to Akrathh: Quickly, before we are all embroiled, lend me such power as you wish — since I know you of all of us will least desire to fight directly.

Create a Soul Bind with 6 Essence Acts, 2 Magic Acts, 2 Creation Acts, prepared for 'casting' onto a target [casting will use two Magic Acts and all available Power for maximum sticking ability].

Incarnate, and cower behind support Shal's defenses with up to half my Power.

Survey the World and the Star. Divine the truths behind them, and search the skies and all the realms I can see for this missing power.


The Soul Bind is a spell (Not an artifact) that drains the power of the being it is attached to into an untouchable 'battery dimension', accessible ONLY by the Creator of the spell. As it drains power, it increases its own strength and draining speed, to the point where the enemy is actively losing Acts and Power. It drains the enemy until they are barely alive, and then locks them into a physical form (Inside the Mortal Plane for now) while draining any Power or Acts they accumulate.
