Before the revelation of the schemes of gods and oblivious villainesses, Kane gathered them for another round table discussion on the ship, not too far from the island they sought, though they didn’t yet know that.

Lyann had earlier stopped directing the ship. They have run out of instructions from the map and were just turning in circles now, no island yet in sight.

“We don’t know our way. We might as well use the time to plan.” Kane told them.

“So, Leader. What is your plan to storm an area we have never seen?” said Lyann dragging the word ‘Leader’. It was too obvious she didn’t mean it.

Kane focused on the matter at hand, ignoring her jibe. “We have to assume that they are prepared. We are also one member short.” He told them, referring to Luthen.

"They must have set some kind of trap." Somen said.

"Traps." Reese corrected. "One is definitely the Apostates. They are changed now." He said grimly.

"You keep saying this. Are you implying they may be a match for us?"

"No. Not yet. To

    "I am just going to ask you a question." Somen started. "I hope you can give me the answer. I am really confused here."The Follower did not have the mental strength to object."I am looking for the strong ones.""The strong ones?" The cloak repeated drowsily"Yes. The ones that wear red cloaks." It was surprising to the other Shards that even in this state, Somen had managed to hold on to some intelligence.Why was this guy looking for Apsotates? the Shards thought."I don't know where they are."No sooner had he finished the words that his blood sprayed on his comrades, permanently ending his role in our story.Somen transmuted the air surrounding his arm into a metal blade, severing his head.After all the effort the cloak had put in, it only took Somen a barely noticeable swipe to end his life.Somen looked up and his eyes glowed when he saw the others. Shoving the headless body to one side, he rushed into the fray."We had better follow him." Reese sighed. The others had already

    Could it be possible that that one had detected his influence?Did that mean that decades of planning had gone down the drain?Did something delay him?How did he figure it out?The agitated god calmed his thoughts.No. It wasn’t possible. He had been careful so far."Well, If the Shard won't come", the god smirked, "I'll just have to bring him myself."*******Immediately they stepped on the island, Mother, sitting cross-legged in the dome at the center of the island(atoll), felt their power surge into her. It was a steady rivulet as she didn't want to arouse their undivided attention by taking too much at once.Such pure energy!Though a Shard of the Soul Aspect, she had never experienced the intoxicating rush of all Aspects flowing into her at once.Well, in this case it wasn’t all the Aspects. It was most. One was missing.She frowned. How could one be missing? This could mean trouble. For the ritual to correctly work all Shards had to be present and contribute their energies. It

    Mother stood at the bank of the lake formed by the ring shaped island (calling it an atoll from now on;)), facing the water, her hand tight in a fist.It's just under the water ahead, She thought, though she didn't need reminding. Her reflection shimmered as another figure appeared suddenly, his silhouette refelected in the water.She wasn't surprised. He would have turned up sooner or later. She thought back to his last words to her.The final ritual. Then All would be One, he promised her back then.Now, he hovered in front of her as she walked to the very altar she would perform the ritual on."About time you showed up." Mother grumbled to the figure.It was made of darkness, not just clothed by it. Yet this darkness had some eerie shine to it. It reminded one of the beautiful darkness that lay in the space, around galaxies, complementing and contrasting the stars.A dark light, consuming the sunlight around it yet releasing its own."While I apologize, Solyn Iskra, I believed you

    Water rocked the ship slowly, like a mother singing its child to sleep. Lyann’s crew scambered around the ship, performing one task or another, happy to be back on the ship.But not everyone was happy. Some for instance were a little seasick."I know we are desperate," Somen started as he emerged from below the deck. But I didn’t know we were desperate enough to look for a deserted, long-forgotten island, emerging from the sea at a point that we don't know and that may or may not be real. How do we even know if it's the one?"'I'll know when I see it." Reese countered."Which is when exactly? Roaming the oceans for 50 years isn't my dream life." He moaned."If we are alive." Lyann added unhelpfully, emerging from the bridge, holding some scrolled up paper.Somen wasn't watching her since he went to vomit into the sea. "Can't take much more of this."She unfolded her scrolled up paper, which turned out to be a map. It was quite old by the looks of it."I thought you said you didn't kno

  • Chapter Seventy-Seven: Departure

    The High Council chamber was sounding more alive than normalSix Archdukes filled the vaulted hall with overlapping opinions and protests, their voices rising in sharp waves that echoed throughout the room. “This is unbelievable!” Duke Orrbi slammed his palm flat against the table. “The riots are spreading, the people are restless, and yet you tell us to stop the search? To stop the search is to hand the realm over to chaos! We should intensify it instead.”That was what Revner thought too. Infact, that was what everyone else thought, which was why they murmured agreement. Even Klare the only dissenter here, would normally agree with Orrbi.So why was she telling them to call of the search? I didn't make any sense. To make things worse, she was in no mood for explanation. “Chaos has already taken hold,” Manning retorted. “The Equalists stir rebellion in the streets while Voyne and the Church move towards a goal. We are trapped between a rock and a hard place.”Klare sat at the head
