TURN 1.4b: End of the First Conflict
The sudden action undertaken by
Lu led to increasing tensions among the Greater Ones.
Far from the Mortal Plane,
Akrathh couldn't help but sigh in annoyment at this miserable spectacle. He sat on his throne, waiting. Soon after, Limikarrat returned to the realm of the Other One. Here, he would start recovering his lost forces.
------------
A dispute sparked between
Lu and
Ceredironover the spoils of the battle. On one side,
Lu claimed rightful claim over the Eye of the Watcher, while on the other side,
Ceredironnaturally claimed the Eye should be his.
Shal attempted to intervene in the discussion, to no avail.
Lu was firmly refusing to let go of the Eye. He also made it clear that anyone who would approach him would end up skewered by Jakorä.
As all of this was happening, both gods were ejected from the Auðrauga, including the Herald's body. And finally, only Gaol remained in the artefact.
------------
Nefertem scried the inside of the Auðrauga for artifact, studying the unmoving Keeper. And for sure, he detected one Artifact. The circling archs above his head were one such.
Nefertem grabbed the slowly circling archs, and attempted to rip them by force. But lacking any power, all his attempts at taking the artifact remained fruitless.
------------
Erin sighed, and studied his wounds. They were very critical, but using his Power or Acts, he would be able to make his form recover. At least 3 Power would be required, if everything went without a hitch.
The Titancorpse
The corpse of Efanel continued increasing in size with dangerous speed. Already, it was the size of a small planetoid, and the gods felt worried by this abnormality.
Shal and
Nefertem joined force to push the body into a stable orbit around the Prime Star. But the further they got away from the Original World, the heavier the body seemed to become. Eventually, they felt unable to push it without enhancing their mights with divine power. Worse even, the body started moving toward the Original World once more... And they couldn't muster enough power to push it back. Fortunately though, the body had stopped increasing in mass, settling for the size of a large moon.
But suddenly, the Titanic Moon stopped moving, hovering over the Original World. It seemed as if this "Moon" was tethered to a single point of the Original World... that is when the two divine ones noticed an odd landscape.
A wide, circular gaping hole carved into the earth. Seemingly bottomless, covered by an unnatural fog that prevented any vision of its depth. Furthermore, it seemed this hole was at the base of an invisible pillar over which rested the Moon that was once Efanel. "Pillar" that neither
Shal nor
Nefertem could cross.
------------
Giving up on the lost cause that was arguing with
Lu,
Cerediron studied the prisons and the motionless Gaol Ludyn. There was a single critical flaw in the Auðrauga, which was the hole created by the Ending Spear. This hole wasn't repairing itself, and was a clear threat to the efficacity of the prison. The last and obvious weakness he saw, was the possibility of external attacks on the prisons.
Then using his last Acts,
Cerediron returned to his Divine Form, crossing the planes to his realm. He brought with him the bound body of Urgast, who was forcefully returned to divine form with
Cerediron's powers.
As he arrived in his realm, he looked at the battery dimension, as he so called himself. Two Acts worth of unstable divine energy from the Titanic One were already absorbed. (they are Acts, not Power)
A worrying matter caught his eye: Urgast was slowly dying.
The Fanelians
On the Original World, various life sprang out from the Ichor of Efanel. Lush vegetation, covering mountains, plains... Small and large creatures formed from the coagulated Ichor, and started eating, killing and breeding. Some of the Ichor turned instead into a water, forming several seas and rivers.
Then one race of beings possessing Souls appeared. The mortal race calling themselves the Fanelians. Very muscular pitch-black humanoids with a closed eye on their solar plexus. They all instinctively turned toward the direction of the fallen Horns of Efanel, and then proceeded to go on with their lives.
The Nebula
Far in space, the spilled Ichor of
Lu amalgamated into numerous small celestial objects, forming a great nebula.
Nefertem and
Lu recovered 1 Act from 0.
Nefertem,
Ceredironand
Shal recovered 1 Power from 0.
