A Sign In The Heavens

[Sorcerio 4594]

 

---

 

The night was quiet, soft and calm upon that pale autumn eve. The winds whispered along the dwarven hills, the elven woodlands sleeping amongst the wavering trees. All was still, the moonlit veil reflecting the stars above upon the deep waters below, waves lapping against the shores in a wordless anticipation for what was to come. And high atop a white spire, amidst the white marble columns and walls of basalt stone, there convened an octuplet of wisemen consigned to the enactment of a potent liturgy. 

 

Each set themselves amidst the gilded ring, deep within the marble hall, the veil pulled ever-thin as each of them attuned themselves to the immensity of the unknown. Now, a great and hollow rift began to bud amidst the gilded frame, revealing a window to the eldritch nothingness that consumed all things. The howling of wind was heard, and then what was like the crack of a whip or crash of lightning against the hollow air, the great fissure beginning to expand outwards in a crescendo of pale, yet radiant arcane light.

 

The air grew colder, the fissure expanding to each of the furthest reaches of the ring, as each of the magi began to slowly lift from the stone earth, hovering above as if held up by invisible strings. Another crack amidst the air, and a great beam of amaranthine light jetted upwards into the sky illuminating the nighttime veil as nature itself went silent. Then, the light faded, receding into the white spire from whence it came, leaving the realm plunged into quiet darkness yet again. 

 

Something archaic had been wrought upon the earth.

 

But whether foul or fair, not tongue can yet tell...

"I hope this makes people want to buy more of my drinks." Uttered Elren "Or at least get injured so I can seem like a good doctor."

An old, and withered Mali'ker would emerge from his darkened cave. His eyes casted upon the sky would be filled with the events that occurred this night. "What the ****.." he says with a groan as he began his journey. And at that, it was time for the return of Vinir.

"Told you so." Says Aobh simply to Tarathiel. She'd nudge the older elfess in a jesting manner, though a stoic expression lingered on her visage. She knew the months and years ahead would be miserable and the problems kept piling on...

Amaesil watched the eldritch spectacle from the uppermost room of his keep. A deep frown appeared as he observed the horizon with the aid of his high elven instrument. With a snap, the telescope sunk down into its cylindrical shape and was set atop the stone railing. The elf-lord folded his hands against the small of his back and watched the beam of red be snuffed out as quickly as it had appeared.

 

A dark omen. The scowl deepened on Amaesil's face. Like a shockwave, his druidic senses telegraphed the unease of his woodland domain: silver butterflies neglected to fly from his shoulders and the stag Estelavern had mounted a nearby peak to gaze out toward the strange light. The natural world was at a loss.

 

With a blur of motion, Amaesil descended the outer steps of the keep. Leaving the butterflies in the garden, the elf-lord stood before his glittering table of white high above the Hinterland's ocean wall. He turned his eyes toward the night sky to gaze at the celestial bodies floating overhead.

 

Perhaps they would hold the answer, but Amaesil doubted it very much.

An Magical Elf smiles brightly as they hum to themselves, joyful tones fill them as their smile overtakes their features. Such a pog moment

The Elf, Philosopher in title though at his core he was not wise, but rather his hunger for knowledge and determination to fulfill the great task trumped over all else that lay before him, within his mind. For The Whole was an ocean, and he was just a fish swimming in it, yearning to grow into something larger - perhaps even an island to forever solidify his mark within the always changing tides. And these tides shifted, a sallow-yellow they were, put to work as if they were naught but cogs in a machine of time. Thoughts ran through the elf’s mind, Saevel, his ambitions were not odious but perhaps he would have to be to overcome the obstacles. A great milestone had been reached, and still he sought out more, still he found himself coming back to the   same   old   thing… This was truly a heavenly sign.

The Elfess would merely frown, crossing her arms as she stared up at the sky, matters yet hallow and profane weighing on her heavily...
