You step forward into the cavern.

When you step off the bottom stairs, you feel magic pulse through the walls. A barrier of Spirit flashes behind you. Abigail tries pressing her hand against it. It's a pane of orange glass, solid. It feels strong.

Abigail's mouth moves. She points behind you.

You turn.

A swirling hulk of elements is hovering above the pool - which has vanished, leaving only the bare cave floor. It looks like a living tornado. It's eyes spark with Lightning; its arms are solid Earth, and its hands are Aflame. Its torso swirls with Water driven by Wind, and it's mouth churns with Light and Shadow. Spirit holds it together - if not for that, you're sure the floating monstrosity would rip itself apart.

And you're sealed in with it.

Your nightblaze forms in front of you like a ball. In a shock of purple magic, it fires from you, twisting toward the Spirit aura surrounding the fused elemental. The magic is translucent - the world through the orb is the negative of reality, shifted, turning, broken up like a shattered mirror.

The creature fires it's own magic - a ray of light, projected out of its mouth! It strikes your Nightblaze directly. Your spell holds firm, but it's deflected, crashing into the creature's lower half.

The Water spinning in its torso vanishes, leaving only Wind behind.

Its flaming hands turn blue with heat.

I've forgotten, have we figured out if we can pocket-transport people through manapools? And if they survive? We should try it with some weak enemies if we ever nab any, and maybe some disposable constructs.

If we can, it means we can rapidly transport at least construct armies (based on how humans have reacted to the pocket).

Your Surge condenses from the air near you and rushes for the monster in a wall of water!

The elemental creature fires a beam of blue flame at your spell - and it's no small attack. You prepare to get out of the way.

To your surprise, your Surge easily smothers the flame, and continues on, smashing into your foe. It seems unharmed - but the flames on its earthen hands sizzle out.

The Water under it reappears, and joins the wind, forming its full body once again.

It hasn't moved much, or tried to dodge...but that doesn't mean it won't.

>>30363640
Last time we tried to Nightblaze it, it counteracted with a Light magic attack.

And we know that opposing elemental attacks are effective against it.

Maybe try and get rid of the Light magic capability by blasting it with a Shadow attack first before going back to Nightblaze.

You launch your Spirit Siphon! Twisting tendrils of orange light attack the creature's crackling eyes. Gold lightning sparks back, but it fades and is absorbed by your own attack.

The flickering Lightning vanishes.

>you've gained 5 mana

You Blink slightly left, and closer, another Nightblaze already forming in front of you. Purple light flashes around you as it fires, aimed right at the mouth of the creature. Another ray of light burns out to meet it - but target as it is, it stays its course, absorbing the light and crashing into the element's head.

The Light burns out.

You run sideways, morphing your body, dragging your arms along the floor. The Earth answers your call, and spears of stone gather around your arms. You concentrate, and they fire, shooting at the beat's Wind-Water body. They strike home, shattering.

The Wind falls still and dies.

>mana: 17/58

The creature wavers. Its body begins to crumble. Its arms detach, and fall to the floor. Its Watery body looses cohesion and puddles on the stone. You rush in and consume the remnants.

>you've gained 5 exp (33 total)
>you've gained 10 mana (22/58)

You rise from your fallen foe, still your 'normal' shadowy, many-limbed self. Though you're not quite sure what normal is for you, anymore. The wall of spirit sealing the cavern off vanishes. The pool appears below you once more, wavering back into existence.

<...Adavan...what happens now?>

"I'm not sure," Adavan calls to you. "This was as much as she explained."

You stare at the pool. It is motionless, reflective.

Abigail steps off the stairs. "Maybe - " There's a sound like a drop hitting a puddle of water It echoes over the room. Abigail's skin glows with spirit. "...huh? I didn't-"

The pool begins to shimmer.

It glows with a deep Spirit.

It's not like Yi Fang's sun of power, or even a mage's buzzing mana. Abigail is unique, in her own way - a vibrant, energetic magic - but this is different.

It feels like it goes on forever, to the very depths of the world, and back.

A form arises out of the pool. It's humanoid - distinctly feminine. The dress, and its body, tells you that. The cavern radiates the soothing orange of its power, and the it stands atop the pool. You peer down at it, your aura wavering with your curiosity.

Its face turns up to you. It has features, in a vague sense - the shape of a nose, eyelids, an indentation where a mouth would be. But no real eyes, no actual flesh. Just Spirit, given form.

<Erebus. You've come at last.>

<Hecate,> you say. <We have much to discuss.>

<I might imagine so, Lord of Darkness. While I've been bereft the passage of time, I still noted its passage. You did not say it would take seven centuries.>

"My lady!" Adavan runs, practically stumbles forward off the staircase. Abigail and Ila both come up behind him. He comes to a halt next to the pool, and knees, leaning on his knee and bending himself low. "My lady."

<...your face has changed, Adavan. I fear you gave up too much for one such as me.>

"Not enough, my lady."

<Too much,> she says again. She walks forward and touches his hood. <We will fix this, in time.>

"You do not have to lower yourself so."

<You always were a rather silly man. I will fix you because I chose to do so, and for no other reason.>

"...as you wish, my lady."

<And who are they? I expected you to only tolerate my servant, Erebus. Though it seems they have your blessing. New servants of your own?>

<Not exactly.> You begin to change, then shrinking into your human self. "There's been a lot of changes since you were last around. I'm not Erebus, anymore. Or at least, I lost my memories when I did whatever I did to the greater elemental lords."

Hecate's face doesn't move, or change, but her aura seems to flicker. You get the sense she's surprised. <You did seem weaker. Not yet to your full strength, once more. Have any of the other lords been restored?>

"No. You're the first."

<So, Erebus. Or, your new self, rather.> She lets her hand fall from Adavan's hood. <What changes have there been?>

"First...my name is Shadow."

No. She could probably stomp any one of the powerhouses, like Sandles or Yi Fang.

Did we ever ask Auriel what the other elemental lords looked like? Seems like something we'd ask after learning Aeolus was a fuckin dragon.

can we get a picture of hecate please SM?

>>30364669
see that's the thing, even during the war Hecate only wanted to be left alone. she fought when attacked and talked when asked nicely. hell except Raijin all the higher and lesser elementals though she was pretty dope
>>
>>30364535
Would she be offended that we Servanted Adavan?

Like is that a breach of Elemental Decorum?

Also I forget, are we and Hyperion the only Elementals who could do that, or can she Servant/Chosen people as well?

>>
>>30364703
She seems pretty chill already. Also, I get the feeling that she might think we're faking amnesia.

Then again we can just offer to let her read our mind.

Neither of you are at full power right now, so it's kinda academic.

>>30364663

Yeah, you did.

Aeolus is a dragon. Hyperion is sort of like Hecate, vaguely humanoid. Raijin usually appeared as a living thundercloud. Logi is a pheonix. Geb is usually a giant earth golem. Leviathan is a leviathan.

>>30364690

Nothing would have happened unless Abigail was there, as Hecate will tell you. She was too weak to wake herself up. Remember how Abigail triggered the plague, and woke up Adavan, too?

Sure, pic related.

Hm. That means Hyperion might not be at full power, either.
>>
>>30364535
Should we tell her about Flint's problem and how that relates to Hyperion?

Part of me is afraid that she might see killing Donovan as a worthy price of keeping Hyperion gone.
>>
>>30364750
>Remember how Abigail triggered the plague, and woke up Adavan, too?

I'm kinda worried what else she can wake up if we suddenly bring her on adventures, her banshee nether birth connection and passive buff to lingering spirit magics considered.

>>30364765
because Erasure isn't chaos, its like a blast of pure Order that cancels all chaotic matter, energy, and so on

>>30364765
It doesn't. Erasure is Order. Shadow is Order. We are Order.
>>
>>30364702
People keep saying "Humanity = Erasure", but that's not true.

We didn't unlock Erasure from getting Humanity. We got it from Temerity. Thread 52, we beat him, he said "My powers are yours as you would will them." and Erasure + Chosen unlocked.

The flames of Erasure aren't from Humanity, they just look similar.

We need to Chosen Abigail ASAP, to make it clear to Hecate that she can't use Abigail as her vessel or something.

I vaguely remember you saying that Geb blessed one of the elf queens or something.

>>
>>30364809

I guess you could say the fluff is slightly misleading. I consider space orderly; the flames don't actually devour chaos itself, but rather, the order of the surrounding space, creating a magical black hole that sucks in chaos.

Also, so go a bit further with the whole physics thing, your shards and you are basically combinations of Order and Chaos right now. Breaking physics is the whole point. So don't worry about it, it's not supposed to make sense. That's what they do.

>>
>>30365479
Logi was pretty reasonable, IIRC. Geb was nice. Raijin was okay except about Hecate, and Hyperion might have been genuinely benevolent before all the praise he got from the angels went to his head.

Aeolus was an utter jerk, and Erebus's douchebaggery more than compensated for the lesser elemental lords.
>>
>>30365479
Wait never mind, I somehow temporarily forgot how much of a misanthropic jackass Erebus was.

I guess that kind of balances the scales.
>>
>>30365479
Erebus- read quest
Hyperion- pretty cool at first, until he got so full of bull that he struck first starting the war
Hecate- Like Magic Ghandi, didn't want to fight and always tried to be the voice of reason
Raijin- Thunder Douche, always hounding Hecate when others would let her go like ll the time
Logi- described as rash and always fighting Levi but okay
Levi- unknown
Geb- honestly didn't care
Aeolus- Dick

What were the power levels between the elemental lords during the Elementomachy?

I know that Erebus was by far the most powerful.

But who was the strongest among the Greater Lords? Hyperion?

And what about the lesser lords? The Spirit element isn't suited for direct combat, but Hecate might have been more powerful overall than Leviathan or Geb.

Were the opposed lords, like Geb and Aeolus and Logi and Leviathan, evenly matched?

Logi ruled Isle Imil, Leviathan had Atlantis which is much further north of the shipwrackers and near the pole

Nope. Logi had the one with the bigass volcano.

Well, it didn't have a volcano until he did something that pissed off Geb. Then suddenly volcano.

Oh. Huh.

Also, it's quite ironic that Hecate was imprisoned in an area that became part of Kelvere.

Atlantis is in a big swamp in the south. The frozen island place was something else.

sorry not atlantis, what was the name of the ice palace again Aurora?

So... Sandle has obviously done something in Vampira, so we will need to go check on/secure the Black Lady, Then we will need her to come with us to free Geb as she has the Staff of Winds...

We should also ask Hecate on the best way to fix the bodge-job on the core, though that may need multiple Elemental lords to do...

We still need to go to Erebus' Void Palace...

Once the conflict is over, we will need to shut down the Skysever...

We should ask Hecate how she generates power, cause I'm fairly sure she isn't doin the consumin
