Kitosaki scratches his head.

Ectheleon says, "Instead what I feel he offers me is a face, an image to associate with as the eventual end of my road. Urrem'tier is someone I hope to know as my friend as I continue my journey."

Ezathiel gets a fluted glass of Silverspruce wine from inside his bone-white lunchbox.

Tirost nods to Aerilia.

Ectheleon says, "I find solace in knowing that there is no malice or ill intent waiting for me when I walk the starry road, for I will have an old friend there to carry me through."

Ezathiel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel gives a slight nod.

Ectheleon smiles.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Zynell rummages about her person, looking for something.

Kethrai closes his eyes for a moment and grows still.

Ectheleon says, "However, I do not mean to reduce anyone because the feelings of each are their own. Our fears and worries are something that I feel should not be belittled and I do not wish to do that to anyone."

Zynell gets a set of steel lip rings from inside her multi-strapped

Ectheleon says, "What I do want is for today to be a positive experience, that each speaker's feelings and insights help you and your feelings as they will help me and mine."

Vythlak praises Ectheleon.

Leilanie smiles at Ectheleon.

Leayne smiles at Gragnel, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Kethrai looks thoughtfully at Gragnel.

Esotericist Eyst just arrived.

Amabalis nods at Necho, obviously agreeing with his views.

   "Dark Lord of the Void, it is you who we all must greet in the end.

    Life unchecked chokes out new life, your touch is required.

    Children are born, turn to adults, grow old, die."

Viredoh puts his rings in his armor pack.

Tirost smiles at Elore.

Ezathiel appears calmer than he did a moment ago.

Zynell perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Elore.

Gragnel recites:

   "You are there for us. Your presence a blessing. The rightful end.

    Lucky are we to be given such a grace as death.

    Is that not the truest embodiment of peace? The end of it all."

Elore leans on Tirost.

Leayne hugs Elore, getting a smile in return.

Elore taps Tirost on the nose and exclaims, "Boop!"

    Hail the scorpion!

    Praise Urrem'tier!"

Pradya melodiously says, "Welcome, as always I appreciate the people coming forth to learn and share and praise our Immortals. I am Pradya, cleric to the Immortals. This gathering is of course in praise of Urrem'tier but I am taking a bit of a different tack."

Leilanie smiles at Pradya.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Pradya melodiously says, "I find death a mystery, which I imagine is surprising considering my life choices but having not died or learned to find souls and bring them back, reading has not supplied enough knowledge for me to understand. But I do know about sacrifice and working to bring peace to others."

(Pradya fingers the green pearl on the bracelet idly, as begins to say pensively)

Pradya melodiously says, "I also fear death, especially that which is promised from Urrem'tier and Aldauth. Again not having knowledge or experience. Ironic that there is so much that we might not know, but only some we fear."

* Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka joins the adventure.

Pradya melodiously says, "Should we fear death? Should we embrace it and learn? Should we wish it to be painful to body and soul to make us avoid it more? Urrem'tier and his aspects have their own way of bringing death."

(Pradya looks up and glances around the shrine with a slight shrug and shake of her head.)

Pradya melodiously asks, "I do not know, but Eylhaar is the light aspect of Urrem'tier and though she brings death, she brings it with peace and no pain. I am tempted to pray to Eylhaar for just this transition but that would be unfair to all that do not. Especially for those I hope to help find their souls someday, who am I to be the more afraid?"

Gragnel gives a slight nod.

Pradya melodiously says, "Is it a surprise that this aspect is a woman? There is the tale of the mother of twin babes where Eylhaar helped the three join a much adored husband and father. He had died and there was no returning for him. There was no pain and she was gentle in her bringing of death."

Pradya melodiously says, "Unaka has been charged with the help of Truffenyi to find the way to aid the Immortals and the mortals here in Elanthia to defeat the Heralds. Perhaps with the promise of help of Eylhaar we could ease the pain of the follower of the Heralds in exchange for his help. A sacrifice for peace. Though I would never deign to know anything the Immortals should do."

Riverlynn nods at Qij, obviously agreeing with his views.

(Pradya gulps and placing a hand on at her throat, looks around nervously before blushing and dipping a deep curtsy and moving back to her place at the back of the gathered clerics.)

Looking ravenous, a lengthy bit of drool dribbles from Kitosaki's mouth. Gross!

Gragnel nods to Kilenti.

    These souls seek your embrace."

Qij declines Riverlynn's offer.

Qij leans on Riverlynn.

Vythlak recites:

   "Urrem'tier, Urrem'tier

    For today set upon these spirits your gaze.

    Those who came before and no longer breathe.

    Stuck now in the earth and stones

    Of this, your holy place."

Kitosaki drools.

Gragnel blinks.

A golden glow erupts from Unaka's halo, and your vision is overtaken by a blinding flash! When the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the growth of civilization, and the many cycles of life and death that churn within them. Amidst the movements of tribes, you watch as elders quietly separate themselves into the wilderness, never returning. Within teeming masses of cities, you see sicknesses rise and populations fall, only to bloom again with vigor. Bloody battles surge through fields, eventually giving way to peaceful reigns, followed by more blood. You watch as a tall man attends a funeral, mourning etched into his features. His eye catches on a black figure standing unnoticed behind the tombstone, and a look of mingled emotions crosses his face, though ultimately he sets his resolve and gives a slight nod. The vision fades.

   "Waking up to only a fantasy

    Out of touch and out of time

    Sailing on an ocean of dark dreams."

Unaka chuckles.

Kitosaki kicks the back of his battle cloak out of the way and bows deeply from the waist.

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

A golden glow erupts from Unaka's halo, and your vision is overtaken by a blinding flash! When the haze dissipates, you see -- blackness? No, it is a complete absence of everything, no color, no scent, no sound. Suddenly, the sound of your own heartbeat comes blaring back into your ears, and the rush of air returns to your lungs, the nothingness before you receding to a safe distance.

A vague silhouette forms against the void, and though you lack a sense of scale, you find yourself standing before a massive segmented appendage, covered in shimmering golden hairs. As you look upward and follow the line of the appendage, you make out the outline of a scorpion looming overhead, its pincers teasing a crackling mass back and forth in their grasp. The mass shifts, and the scorpion's Katamba-sized stinger darts overhead, piercing it. As the stinger withdraws, you see a flowing liquid, filled with innumerable spiraling milky cosmoi, which is colored by the exhalations of nebulae and spiked with frozen fingers of interstellar ice. The liquid stirs slowly, and the vision fades.
