[QUOTE="Endovior, post: 2468435, member: 33321"] Endovior shakes his head at Jemal's distress. "Actually, soulless beings are rather common in all other universes. Only Mortals have souls, it seems." Endovior openly laughs at Othar's prediction of his death. After a moment, he stops. "Now I know you're lying. I was once mortal, I am not the embodiment of a concept; therefore, I cannot fail from it's absence. I know this from experience. I have outlived 27 universes so far. The fall of this one will not mean my death, it will merely mean number 28. Furthermore..." Xavax abruptly dissapears, and Endovior's flames shift through a rainbow of colors for a moment. "Fool. Damned fool! Your tampering with reality is causing a ripple effect." Endovior dissapears. -Elsewhere- With a sound like the ringing of a huge bell, Endovior's old palace reappears; but it is not a school of mages, as before. Instead, it is linked to Forges throughout the planes. Air: Mindforge Fire: Soulforge Earth: Lifeforge Water: Fateforge Chaos: Antiforge Evil: Darkforge Good: Lightforge Law: Ruleforge Astral: Nullforge Shadow: Shadowforge Magic: Spellforge Xavax and Endovior appear together in Endovior's Palace (although whether it still deserve the name is questionable). Endovior speaks first, "Clearly, history has changed. As this place was critical to the last godwar, the realm distortion must have brought it back when that war failed to occur... although I do have vague memories of such NOT occuring in the way I remember more clearly... this change in reality makes things complicated." Xavax smiles, "Indeed. But more then that has changed. Note the Forges. All of them are present, and I am a part of them all." "But you forget the limitation of such: as all are present AND linked, the power of them is weakened: you can only regulate the flow." "Alas, it is true. But it must be done, and I suppose it falls upon me to do it." "As you will. I cede this construct to you, then. I must be getting back... that meeting is probably important." Xavax nods, "Do what you must. For my part, I will be busy regulating the universe." And so, it is done. All beings and powers are regulated through the Palace, renamed Nexus. Though this sounds like a great deal of power, it really is not: any imbalance threatens the entire system, and would ruin Nexus and the Forges first, so all things must be done fairly and equally. Of necessity, Xavax becomes a Power of absolute neutrality. Meanwhile, Endovior returns. "That was quite foolish, Othar. I can vaguely remember going to a great deal of effort to stop your foolishness from destroying the continuity of existence, so don't try that again. I don't think the fabric of reality can take another rewrite." [/QUOTE]
