Without further ado (although with a small regret that all the excellent partying going on around them would continue without them) Cade followed the rest of them outside. Moving swiftly on. A short fight with some servants of Wee Jas was an entertaining diversion. Cade had never seen an Ineveitable before, but didn't get much chance to see this one as it was swiftly destroyed. Avoiding the reinforcements, the group got on a boat that appeared to sail more through sand than water, heading towards the Tower that ChronoMalkir had spoken of. The sand swept around them continuously, getting inside clothing, hair, in Cade's eyes. Eventually he sought refuge under the wings of Sir Osbourne, who stood steadfast against it. The Tower hove into view. Waiting in front of it was Nyon. Serena went to step forwards and speak to him...and then collapsed, screaming. Nyon ran forwards to comfort her, and as she stared up at him, wild eyed, he spoke to her in a tone that spoke of godlike sadness. "Yes. That feeling was the feeling of the death of Tomeri. Tenebrous has slain her." Serena lowered her face and wept, in the Shadow of the Tower of the Words of Power, in the arms of the God of Destiny who she'd hated, in front of her friends, in front of Malkir, Serena Allman wept for the death of her Goddess. A short while later, a flash of light appeared on a distant hill, rapidly coming closer. It was revealed to be a Planetar, a former servant of Tomeri. "Will you accept my service, lady? The souls that Tomeri looked after have a need of a home. Will you let them in? Will you accept the power that is offered to you, in love and in wisdom?" Serena got slowly to her feet. She met the gaze of the Planetar steadily, though tears continued to run down her face. "Yes," she said. "I will take the power." The Planetar spoke a word, and the Garden Opened all around the group. Cade grinned even wider as it erupted around them, exactly as Serena had described. The distant mountains, the lake, the cottage...but the thing she had never mentioned were the thousands of souls filling the space. Serena's face was radiant - she had taken on the mantle of her Goddess, and become a Power herself.</blockquote>
