Waves parted in a violent mist as Crav rocketed across the ocean at unbelievable speeds. His determination lent speed to his flight as he approached his island. One thought was on his mind.
Help Uburra-Namall Crav soared rapidly to a point high above the cities and towns were his creations the Durhians and the Milteos fought for their lives. They were simple crafters and artisans. They did not deserve the tragedies that befell them now. Crav was overwhelmed with sadness for them and the hundreds upon thousands of creations all across the world who were falling to the same horrors. The pain and sorrow he felt for the creations of this world turned violent. It became rage. It became determination. It became will. Crav reached out into the void and grabbed ahold of his two greatest creations, Sonia and Von Trapt.Amidst the chaos that was Spectropolis, Sonia ceased her godly rampage of mortar and brick to feel the tug of Crav’s summons. She let herself fall into the God of Crafting’s embrace and be pulled across the void to him.Outside Spectropolis, Von Trapt continued to sprint to the aid of others. He felt the summons and resisted for only a moment before allowing himself to be pulled to Crav’s aid. Together the three stood in the clouds above the grand city of the Durhians. Von Trapt spoke first, “What do you need of us, Crav?” Crav sighed heavily; he had spent a large portion of energy to pull the two gods to himself. He paused only for a moment before addressing Von Trapt, “I brought you here to help me. The being of this world suffers now as they have never before. I cannot bear it….I will not bear it. I need both of you to save them.” “All of them? How can we save them all…there are so many,” Sonia questioned as she watched the ant-like beings run frantically, miles below her feet. “We will do what we must,” replied Crav. “And what must we do?” “Raise an Army….together.” Crav held out his hands to the two gods. Sonia gripped his right hands tightly, a look of trusting determination fixed to her delicate face. Von Trapt was hesitant, but gripped Crav’s left hand with a forceful acceptance. There was a moment of pure silence as the wind died and the world blurred around them. Then, the most brilliant light pierced the sky as the three god’s power melded into one. Arcs of divine light snapped at the air and crackled into the earth. Where they struck, the ground boiled with archaic power. All across the land below arcs of the three gods power struck, over and over again. There was another pause as the light died, then a low rumble that shook the earth. The ground heaved the fell. A great hand of stone and sand ripped its way through the thin crust of soil and pushed itself high into the air. It was followed by another and another all around as colossal beings rose from the world. Guided by the light of the Gods, they assembled themselves. Each Colossus was a towering being that held a grand temple on each of their backs. Their flesh was powerful stone and their eyes burned with bright fiery crystal. Each could easily crush a small village beneath its massive heel. In the sky, the light began to fade as the power of the three gods settled. When it finally died altogether Only Crav remained in the sky. The three had become one again to raise the great colossus army. Crav lowered himself to the nearest colossus and landed upon its balcony. With one hand he motioned towards his love’s island and colossi began to march. “I’m coming…” Crav whispered.

It was a shade. A shadow creature of substance. Two human eyes floated in an area that could be called a face.
"No one. Anyone. Everyone. I am a power's slave. I am the master of millions." Flagrant lies rasped from it. "One truth I deliver."
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

"What did he say?" asked Crav in Sonia's voice.
"He said he's coming...." answered Crav in Von Trapt's voice. "You two are ruining my moment. Just sit back and watch. I'll make you new bodies later and you can bother me then." Crav demanded in his own voice.

Aox stared, mystified at the Shade. He was both awed and horrified by the creature. However, he stood his ground and confronted it.
"One truth? Explain y-yourself!"

Magnus sat atop of the ruined College of Magic, staring out into the destruction around him. A shroud of stars orbited around him. As long as he did nothing to strike back at the monsters destroying his home, the shroud would inverse his weakness and make him untouchable. So he sat and watched as his job commanded him to do, recording as much knowledge as he could for the future.
"That one" he says, pointing out into the chaos, noticing something only his attention to details could grasp. "That Genasi has fallen to the plague, capture it and store it with the others. We need a sample of each species if we are going to make any breakthroughs." One of Magnus' personal guard went out into the fires of the city to retrieve the target. The guard was just a band of Magnus' personal students and low ranking members of the Council of Heroes. Many had already left their post to defend their homeland instead of staying behind to protect a wizard who did not need protecting with his research. Magnus would not be distracted by the loss of life around him though, his eyes were only set on the future as he scanned the world around him. "What is the status of the false Spirits we captured?" he asked. "The last one we had captive died out recently, as the others before. We suspect some non-mortal influence in their sudden weakening." "Send a group of three towards the Shardmind's tower." Magnus orders "Set out some remote crystals to record the remaining imitation's tactics, it will be the most we can do if we can not get a live sample. Make sure the remaining bodies are preserved for me to cut into when the fighting has died down."
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

A realization dawned on Aox. He reached into his satchel and drew out the strange stick he'd found on the day of the tournament. He looked down at it briefly before returning his gaze to the shade.
"You mean this?"

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Might artefact." The thing rippled along the walls of the barrack. "Do you wish to know how to wield it?"

Koneko looks around for Aox, trying to figure out where he'd gone since she'd last seen him.
========================== Illusia stayed in the Religious District of Spectropolis healing the wounds of those that she could heal and making powerful illusory labyrinths with magic backed by divine might to prevent more enemies from attacking the Religious District.

"It is a prison. It is a weapon. It is a harbinger of change."
The shade rippled with glee as it continued. "It is a prison for the Wild Things that live outside Creation. It is a weapon made by thousands of Gods. It is a harbinger of the most chaotic change." "Bound in spells and riddles by the Cunning Trickster, it would only answer to the wisest and most intelligent person... But, worry not. Cheating also works."

Outside of the land of Mina, a figure hovered. Monstrous in aspect, a mask donned his face. Further details were difficult to gather, as the sword in his hand drained all attention to itself.
A dark and jagged blade of crystalline nature, it betrayed a deep hunger- As ravenous as any creature of the Void. Light drained into it, leaving darkness behind; Sound sloshed into it, leaving silence; Emotion fell into it, leaving numbness. The figure raised sword high and thrust it at the place where Mina's Edict began. It resisted flatly, pushing against with all the power it had. Denying him entrance. The sword cared not. It drank deeply from the power brought against it, growing more ravenous with each whisp of energy it gained. How long could power flow, for even the creations of a god are limited.

Pantheo was collapsed upon his throne. Within him, the Divine energy of nine sources competed to repair the flesh of his body. Energy sparked around him as the Divine sources collided and merged.
He looked out over his kingdom at the wars waging below. Out of all the creatures invading, the imitation Spirits intrigued him the most. It was a shame that they were the first to begin to die out. Perhaps he could preserve them, create them into true representations of his pantheon to serve as a representation of his power. Pantheo pointed out a finger and eight beams of light descended from the clouds to members of the Spirits of Possible Heroes below. He would turn them into a stronger, elite unit different than the mass guardian units he had created when he was weaker. The eight spirits change, rising as different forms of Gilgamesh, his pantheon, and the combinations of the nine. The golden color of the spirits change to white as they become stronger, setting them apart from the imitations. They would be the first of the Spirits of the Royal Guard (Create Divine Servitor).

Having gotten the message from Koriko and Fubuki, Mina flies as fast as she can with Kyuuketsu beside her back to her lands.
========================== Meanwhile, looking up, Kira and Mizuna feel that something is wrong and fly upwards to check. ========================== The law's components react and begin to put out more energy to equal that which is being drained.

Across the sea again, through atmospheres turbulent with the din of battle, Zaya and Uburra-Namall sped on winged horseback toward the Fair Goddess's island.
Their approach brought good news to Uburra-Namall's attention. The hordes...they were waning. On sensing its approach and movement, her pantheon lent their power to the godstorm that raged over the island. In no time, the nightmare monsters' numbers dwindled to significant lows. They were reduced to nearly one half of what force they threatened with, some hours previous. "There!" Uburra-Namall called over the rush of the winds, so high up, "The land of the Centaurs! And I have just the men in mind, to bring this madness to an end!" She snapped the reins lightly on her Pegasus' back, and it began to swoop low. Her mind began again to attune to the crowds and undulating masses. Harkan, Draias and Zai had to be around here somewhere...

And down we go, Vesta descending from on high..
The red horse followed the flying steed.

Uburra-Namalls island brimmed with Love, but not the kind the Watchman had tasted on his first visit. The Divine energy of the goddess had a flavor all it's own, and now is a cracked and burned and blazed throughout the island. A passionate love, an angry love, a love that crushes like a mace.
Like a mother tiger protecting her cubs. That love. But there was something else there, surrounded by it all in it's own little pocket. It smelled like blood and fear sweat and stark defiance. It tasted of the worst and most satisfying meal of your life, felt like the tension of a coil ready to break, and sounded like whispered rumors and rallying cries. It was familiar, and stood in contrast to the Fair Lady's own power. He called from the back of Zaya's red horse. "I have a presence here, I can feel it."
Hey son, wanna' learn how ta' make witch balls?

"You do." Uburra-Namall agreed, as the flying horses drew closer to the land of the Centaurs, "And I shall rally my most impressive minds to our aid. These living dead things, and the nightmare beasts from which they spawned, have got to go. From your lands, and mine. Now."

I believe there is some form of religious uprising against the traditional elders. I have not had time to examine many matters of interest due to my recent imprisonment..
