TURN 1.4: End of the First Conflict
The cosmos finally settled down and the shockwaves stopped.
Before Auðrauga had closed,
Nefertem[/glow] used of his remaining power to create a small artifact, which he named the
Sign of Hope. He gifted it to the cowering Andilauss. And thanks to its powers repelling the unpleasant thoughts and memories of the traumatic spectacle, the poor mortals found solace in their existence. They started gathering around the gem, their fears and trauma disappearing from their minds. Yet they still quivered, even if they forgot why when they gazed upon the gem.
Nefertem used 1 Power (cyan is better)------------
Finally Auðrauga closed in, ending all hope of escape from the trapped Titanic Ones. And at the same time, the Soul Bind completed its formation, completely entrapping the essence of the Watcher.
Yet the Divine Ones, having fought a terrible battle, still felt restless and wary. Wary of the bound Titanic Ones, and wary of their own allies...
Shal was the first to act, using her power to scry the infinite horizon of futures. There existed futures were the Titans escaped, but those were scarce and very improbable. The most probable futures being the ones in which the Titans remained bound. Furthermore, never in the futures she saw did the Titans break free by themselves.
Shal used 1 Power (cyan is better)Roughly at the same moment,
Cerediron glanced at the remaining Titanic Ones. Gaol Ludyn had Power left, but he couldn't feel any Acts in him. As for Urgast, he could barely feel Power or Acts.
------------
Inside the Desolate Eye, many Ascended and Greater Ones were still trapped. While the plan had seemingly worked, they weren't keen on being enclosed in this space, with the two alive Titanic Ones.
Akrathh besought
Nefertem to release the Bloodslayer-wielding Limikarrat, and the owner of Auðrauga obliged so.
The shards and vines ceased attacking Limikarrat, and the Servant was let free. Immediately he moved far from the group of divine beings. Wounded, bleeding, weakened. Mixed feelings stormed inside him.
Then
Shal and
Erin Quill were released from the prison. Only
Lu and
Cerediron remained inside, the latter one arguing with the owner of the cage.
------------
As he was still inside the prison,
Lu used his Life Act to stabilize his wounds. But as his power acted, an impossible pain violently seared the flesh around the Ending Spear. While he was healed a little more, the dreadful Artifact had nullified most of his recovery.
Lu is Badly WoundedSuddenly and despite its wound, the Bird God moved toward the Soul Bound Urgast.
Cerediron felt the Greater One approaching the Soul Bind, and before anyone could do anything,
Lu used his remaining power to grab the Eye of the Watcher and tore it out from its body.
A terrible scream of pain echoed across the universe. The Andilauss, even those protected by the Sign of Hope, screamed in agony as their souls saw a gigantic eye writhing in pain. Many, many Andilauss killed themselves to escape the madness, and very few of them remained sane afterward.
Ichor dripped from the eyeless head of the Serpent, his divine lifeforce slowly wasting away.
------------
Everyone stopped what they were doing to turn toward
Lu, still inside the prison and holding the bloodied Eye of the Watcher.
