  • The Ascension of Sharallin to Sekea, Goddess of Dreams

    I assumed you players might have an interest in reading back to this. Enjoy!

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Right. Well, while we give it a few
    minutes for anyone else to arrive"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Other than apologising for starting so
    late"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "I must say that of the entries we had,
    two stood out above the rest"
    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "And one, by far above all others"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "As for who's, we'll soon see"

    Zycandos, God of Creation's face lifts with a happy smile.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "All those who entered, are going to
    recieve
    50 power crystals for effort"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "As in some respects, this did require
    a bit
    more effort than most quests"

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "...wow..."

    Shahar's face lifts with a happy smile.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Ok"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "In Third Place"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Was Squire Rotus"

    Zycandos, God of Creation enthusiastically congratulates Squire Rotus.

    Squire Rotus' face lifts with a happy smile.

    Shahar claps her hands applauding Squire Rotus.

    You clap at Squire Rotus' performance.

    Proselyte Valont claps loudly.

    Minstrel Sharallin cheers loudly for Squire Rotus.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "With a most, erm, interesting entry"

    Squire Rotus says, "Thank you"

    Bralnok, Lord of the Underworld nods his head at Squire Rotus.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "In second place, a person who could
    not be
    with us today sadly"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Shadow Walker Phoenix"

    Shahar claps her hands applauding loudly.
    smile

    Your face lifts with a happy smile.

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "He's going to be so mad he missed it..."

    Aradiance nods her head at Minstrel Sharallin.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "He'll still get his prize"

    Minstrel Sharallin's face splits with a broad grin.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "First Place, perhaps unsurprisingly"

    A transparent image of Storm Warden Ethun is all that remains for a
    moment as
    his corporeal being is carried off to a safe haven by the gods.

    There is a bright flash of light before you, as the corporeal form of
    Ethun
    returns to the land.

    Storm Warden Ethun covers his mouth with his hand and coughs.

    Zycandos, God of Creation smiles happily at Storm Warden Ethun.

    Aradiance turns to Storm Warden Ethun with a broad grin on her face.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "You didn't miss it"

    Shahar smiles happily at Storm Warden Ethun.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Nothing like building the tension"

    grin
    Proselyte Valont grins evilly.

    You grin broadly.

    Aten, God of the Sun says, "Should we recap 3 and 2 again?"

    Aten, God of the Sun says, "Just to be on the safe side"

    Aradiance says, "He was so exited he poofed..."

    Aradiance turns to Storm Warden Ethun with a broad grin on her face.

    Minstrel Sharallin turns to Aradiance with a broad grin on her face.

    Shahar breaks out into joyous laughter.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "It may be a wise plan"

    Aten, God of the Sun nods his head.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "But no! First Place goes to..."

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Minstrel Sharallin"

    "Yay!" Aradiance shouts joyfully.

    Proselyte Valont claps loudly.

    Jaiden claps at Minstrel Sharallin's performance.
    congratulate shara

    You enthusiastically congratulate Minstrel Sharallin.

    The colour drains from Minstrel Sharallin face as she drops to the
    ground in a
    dead faint.

    Proselyte Valont cheers loudly for Minstrel Sharallin.
    hug shara

    Aradiance claps her hands applauding Minstrel Sharallin.

    You wrap your arms around Minstrel Sharallin, and hug her tightly.

    Aradiance claps at Minstrel Sharallin's performance.

    Shahar claps her hands applauding loudly.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "For a third, successive Shrine
    victory"

    Shahar cheers loudly for Minstrel Sharallin.

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "...eep?"

    Aradiance nods her head.

    The sun drops below the eastern horizon as darkness claims the land
    once more.
    Shahar takes some flint, steel and kindling from her tinderbox.
    Striking the
    flint and steel together she rapidly manages to light the kindling with
    a few
    sparks. Touching the kindling to a torch she soon has it burning.

    Aradiance gives Minstrel Sharallin a well deserved pat on the back.

    Zycandos hands a celestial crystal to [Sharallin].

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "If you'd be so kind, as to place the
    Crystal
    on the Shrine"

    Aradiance says, "OOOO"

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "Wh-what about Rotus?"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Winner first"

    Minstrel Sharallin gulps loudly.

    Minstrel Sharallin nods her head.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Different crystal type"

    Minstrel Sharallin, Intemperata places the celestial crystal onto the
    shrine.

    The crystal shimmers momentarily on the shrine before melting into the
    surface.

    Where the crystal once was, you now see the name of Minstrel Sharallin,
    Intemperata inscribed into the shrine.

    Zycandos hands an ethereal crystal to Rotus.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "And Rotus, if you would do the same"

    Squire Rotus says, "What is command ?"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Put crystal on shrine"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "A cunning one"

    Zycandos, God of Creation smiles happily at Squire Rotus.

    Aradiance laughs out loud.

    Squire Rotus places an azure crystal inside a backpack.

    Squire Rotus places the ethereal crystal onto the shrine.

    The crystal shimmers momentarily on the shrine before melting into the
    surface.

    Where the crystal once was, you now see the name of Squire Rotus
    inscribed
    into the shrine.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Congratulations"

    Beneath your feet, the ground begins to tremble, a rumbling noise,
    barely
    audible at first, but growing in intensity by the moment.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Oh dear, oh dear"

    Aradiance peers around, obviously paranoid about something.

    Jaiden's gaze turns skyward, his face deeply contemplative.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Sharallin, 3 of 5. "

    Minstrel Sharallin peers around, obviously paranoid about something.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "What things you have set in motion
    now"

    Aradiance smiles happily at Minstrel Sharallin.

    Shahar's face splits with a broad grin.

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "I - I was framed!"

    Suddenly, the eastern horizon is illuminated in a flash of light, the
    distant
    form of Mount Arquenos shining like a beacon, its divine presence
    calling you
    from across the land.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "We best all attend"

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Off we go"

    Aradiance Wyndreaper, Viper Slayer appears out of thin air.

    Aradiance says, "Thank you very much"

    Shahar de Ariadne, Culinageriste appears out of thin air.

    Shahar says, "Thank you very much"

    Shahar's face lifts with a happy smile.

    Aradiance says, "Guess we should have followed"

    Aradiance says, "?"

    Proselyte Valont says, "Oh im here"

    The Temple of Ascension
    The surroundings are illuminated by the divine presence of Aten, God of the Sun. Surrounding you on three sides are the great pillared walls of the Temple of Ascension, their white marble seeming to reach towards the sky as they form a graceful horseshoe around this open area. Between the pillars you can see the inner sanctums of the five traits of the Ascended, the marble statues of their avatars gazing out at you with their stone eyes. The remaining side of the horseshoe has been left open, providing you with a view out from this vantage point high on the slopes of Mount Arquenos over all of Akanbar, a view that is strangely unobscured despite being so high above the clouds. Turning away from this vista you gaze upwards, where the shining Pavillion of the Gods can be seen at the mountain's utmost peak, from where they can watch over all Akanbar. Despite all of this however, the item that holds your gaze is the sacred Well of the Gods, a great stone basin holding a flickering red
    and blue liquid believed to be the very essence of the divine. You see
    statues of Sharallin, Sharallin and Sharallin in the surrounding shrines.
    Proselyte Valont is here. Squire Rotus is here. Shahar is here riding a white horse. Aradiance is here. Bralnok, Lord of the Underworld ishere. Jaiden is here. Storm Warden Ethun is here. Zycandos, God of Creationis here. Aten, God of the Sun is here. You can progress north, northeast, east, southeast, south and west.

    Shahar nods her head at Aradiance.

    Aradiance turns to Minstrel Sharallin with a broad grin on her face.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Just in time, I think"

    Joining the deep rumbling tone that now echoes across all Akanbar, a
    Second noise can be heard, sounding almost like a choir of ethereal voices as
    They sound from the very summit of Mount Arquenos.

    As the combined harmony reaches its climax, it suddenly dies away,
    until it islittle more than a whisper in the winds. About you, the statues of the
    avatars begin to explode.

    Aradiance puts on a green wool cloak.

    One by one, their marble forms shattering into a thousand pieces until
    only one statue remains, that of Minstrel Sharallin, Intemperata.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Sharallin. Congratulations"

    Shahar tilts her head and begins to listen carefully.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "It would seem that you are the chosen
    one"

    Aradiance smiles happily at Minstrel Sharallin.

    Minstrel Sharallin looks about her, a strange expression on her face.

    Jaiden beams broadly at Minstrel Sharallin.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "You, and no other, may now ascend to
    The ranks of Godhood"

    Shahar turns to Minstrel Sharallin with a broad grin on her face.

    Shahar cheers loudly for Minstrel Sharallin.

    Aradiance cheers loudly for Minstrel Sharallin.

    Aradiance whistles appreciatively at Minstrel Sharallin.

    Jaiden sniffles softly.

    Minstrel Sharallin says, "I loved you well, all of you..."

    Aradiance comforts Jaiden.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "It is not a move that is taken
    lightly, nor was it entirely expected that one person would win all three of the
    first shrines"

    Aradiance gives Minstrel Sharallin a loving hug and tender cuddle.

    Proselyte Valont bows before Minstrel Sharallin.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Though in light of that, I can think
    of no
    one more deserving"

    Aradiance nods her head at Zycandos, God of Creation.

    Squire Rotus nods his head.

    Your face lifts with a happy smile.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "You must now take this Grail of
    Creation, drink from it, and walk towards the curtain of fire that separates this
    World from the next"

    Zycandos hands The Grail of Creation to [Sharallin].

    Aradiance sniffles softly.

    Minstrel Sharallin lifts the Grail of Creation to her lips and drinks,
    thelight within seeming to effuse her as though she herself had become a
    clear vessel.

    The fire of the curtain burns more brightly than ever before, the
    flamesglistening in the water.

    Sharallin takes a step into the fire, the flames roar upwards briefly,
    Before the water forms a protective cocoon around her. Her body only just
    Visible through the cocoon.

    A great rushing sound fills the air, and the heavens around Mount
    Arquenos are momentarily illuminated by a torrent of prismatic colour.

    Shahar puts on a cook wool cloak.

    The magical ether that surrounds Akanbar becomes visible around the
    Temple of Ascension, coruscating energies crackling across the sky and earthing
    themselves upon the mountainsides.

    Out of the wildly arcing energy, a single white light suddenly shines down
    upon the Temple of Ascension, focussing upon the cocooned form of Sharallin,
    its power seeming to pass into her as her eyes begin to glow with the
    same light.

    Embracing this new found power, Sharallin casts off her mortal form,
    Her spirit rising out of her body as she ascends to take her place amongst
    The divine.

    Aradiance lets out a pained sigh.

    A shimmering mist seeps into the room from seemingly nowhere, coiling
    andthickening into a dense fog that blurs the surroundings. The air itself
    ripples for a moment as Sekea, Goddess of Dreams, arises from the mists.

    Shahar wraps her arms around Aradiance and hugs her tightly.

    Zycandos, God of Creation greets Sekea, Goddess of Dreams amiably.

    Aten, God of the Sun greets Sekea, Goddess of Dreams amiably.

    Proselyte Valont kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams,
    Bowing his head respectfully.

    Bralnok, Lord of the Underworld nods his head at Sekea, Goddess of Dreams.

    Aradiance kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams, bowing
    Her head respectfully.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Congratulations, and Welcome. Sekea,
    Goddessof Dreams"

    You kneel before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams, bowing your head
    respectfully.

    Shahar kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams, bowing her
    head respectfully.

    Sekea, Goddess of Dreams says, "Hail, one and all."

    Squire Rotus kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams,
    bowing his head respectfully.

    Storm Warden Ethun kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of
    Dreams, bowing his head respectfully.

    Jaiden bows before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams.

    Squire Rotus claps loudly.

    Shahar turns to Sekea, Goddess of Dreams and says, "Congratulations,
    m'Lady. Well deserved!"

    Sekea, Goddess of Dreams says, "Thank you."

    Jaiden ponders the situation.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Your realm is yours to do with as you wish"

    A torch crumbles to dust.

    Sekea, Goddess of Dreams says, "The realm of dreams is in my hand.
    Mortals, thine repose is ruled by myself..."

    Aradiance is speechless.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "There is a great difference between
    Ascension and a direct appointment to god by myself. Sekea bypasses the rank of
    demi-god, as all others must first endure"

    Shahar claps her hands applauding loudly.

    Zycandos, God of Creation says, "Now, let us depart"

    There is a flash of light, and Zycandos, God of Creation is gone.

    As Aten, God of the Sun departs, the golden corona that surrounded him
    Fades from your vision.

    Sekea, Goddess of Dreams says, "In thine dreams thou shalt see me..."

    Proselyte Valont kneels on the ground before Sekea, Goddess of Dreams,
    Bowing his head respectfully.

    The mists swirl, and Sekea, Goddess of Dreams, is gone.

    The echoes of the screams of tortured souls grow fainter, and Bralnok,
    Lord of the Underworld, is gone.
    Tick tock goes the clock until you feel my ire. You'll lose your voice and turn to rock and lose what you desire.

      You did! A loooong, long time ago :P
      Zycandos and Jaethor's karaoke rendition of 'I Feel Pretty'.

      Jaethor goes solo with 'The Sound of Music'.

      Minstrel Sharallin sings: "The lord of revenants is a withered man, sunken by age and evil. But his blood is sweet, say the young men - and they should know?"
      Jaethor, God of Enlightenment tells you, "((Stop breaking Akanbar.))"

        Weird feelings that turn out to be true are always amusing. It would be cool if people didn't have to make a new god every time and could instead take over an existing one to try and give some life to the role. Random thought.
