[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 185943, member: 799"] [b]Edena I urge that you read this all and very carefully.[/b] While the answers and thoughts of the Taraakian flow through her mind.... The world turns red The world seems to bleed The world is changing..... The Taraakian finishes and looks at the Queen with its old eyes. But there is no silence in both their minds. Vaeregoth reads the Taraakian as their minds are as one. She feels the emotion as it floods into her mind.. The fear... She had already felt the disturbance in the forces of the multiverse through her scouts. But here, on Athas.... silence. As she saw the world turn into a crimson haze through the eyes of billions of her minions it came to her. She understood, she comprehended. It was known to her. She saw the world ripple as it mingled with a force unknown and turned red. She saw the world ripple as it had done twice before. But this time the world didn't turn Teal like it had done before.. Red this time.. crimson red... blood red. The Sixt toutch was comming. Reality changed on Athas. On Athas... her domain. On her Domain it changed. This would not come to pass, she would not let it become! In her domain reality only existed at her whim, it existed only in the way she pleased, for she was The DreamWeaver! She charged her power and she tapped into reality. She sensed the power and it was grand but she assailed it. She unleashed her power through the brinks of reality. She drove her will through reality itself and as she unleashed her mental fury she and only she saw the Teal break through the Red and drive it away. The seas of Red, weak without the magic to support it succame to the mental fury of the Queen of the Swarms. As the Teal ripped through the Red illusion she felt the power fade and slip away as it vanished before her furious mental onslaught that raged through reality itself. The world as Vaeregoth saw it rippled with a Teal glow for a instant and then returned back to normal. With sorrowfull eyes the Taraakian had witnessed the Crimson illision being shred as the enigma in the hall turned into a Purple Nova. Enpowered with his ancient magic he saw through the blinding light that emminated from the center of the hall. From the creature that he had spoken to. The creature that controlled reality in its Domain. Through the light he saw the vague physical form take solid shape and as the Teal glowing exoskeleton manifested in the purple Nova he felt their minds toutch again. As the creature, the Queen of the Hive reeled with the thoughts and energies that sided within her and flowed through her she comminucated with the Taraakian. <<Honorable one, so pure of thought. You have put aside your arrogance, fear and hypocracy and you have shown yourself true and humble.>> <<You have admitted your mistakes, made in haste and fear. Mistakes... we make them all but most are to proud to admit them.>> <<Now I see you have put aside your pride and you have shown that you understand what you merely are.>> <<Mortal.>> <<For we are all merely mortal and the force that assails us is eternal. For the void and the darkness are eternal.>> <<Darkness I once feared, darkness threatened me but I learned throughout my battles with it that darkness cannot be defeated and that Darkness will always exist. Darkness is within us all, darkness even resides in your own heart and soul.>> <<I accepted the existance of Darkness, its eternal presence and I faced it.>> <<I learned from it and I confronted it.>> <<The lady of Loss, the Goddess Shar, the keepe of secrets eternal came to my aid. She showed me the way to learn from your darkness inside and to controll it.>> <<I faced my darkness. I battled my darkness inside and I made it a part of myself knowing that, that what you cannot defeat you must accept and make it a part of your own.>> <<I made my own darkness a ally and I focuss it through the Shadow Weave.

I do not fear my own darkness inside for it has been accepted that it can not ever be defeated.>> <<Not that which I once feared fuels me and my powers for their is no inner fear, no inner conflict. No fear of that which houses in yourself and that which you can never defeated.>> <<I turned my worst enemy, myself into my greatest ally and now I am whole. I do not fear the darkness, for I am the light and the darkness. I am the dream called twilight, that which lies between light and darkness.>> The light of the Nova intensifies and it starts to shift from deep purple to a bright Teal. The shape within vanishes into the light as its shape fades away into the similar surrounding lights. The light intensifies and even the Taraakians now closes his eyes for he cannot look into the light. The light which is nothing. Vaeregoth opens the Taraakians mind and the Taraakian views through her eyes.. her senses. <<Look honorable one, look at the light. Look at reality in its purest form. Look at nothing.>> <<Look at the void.>> "But, the void is nothing! In the void there is non-existance. There is nothing! How can this be?" <<The void is nothing, the void is everything. For reality is a dream my dear Ancient one. And dreams can be molded, shaped and redone. Reality can be molded and shaped... to my image.>> <<This is the power from me you seek, the power you need. Do not fear the void for in the void is everything. From the nothing, the everything that is the void everything can be created. Molded and shaped it can become whatever you want, what ever you please.>> <<Now feel through me, feel that this nothingness is everything and it is no light, it is purity for in the void it is all one and from one all is made.>> Vaeregoth shares her mind with the Taraakian and the Taraakian feels another presense enter, it hears the billions of thoughts and voices pitching and shrieking through her mind. He learns from another presence, one called Skoteinos, a presence in her mind. He learns from the information shared, the trust, the confidence, the love, the unity and the lack of strife. They are as one. <<Now Skoteinos join me, join me in my moment and experience the moment with this Taraakian.>> The minds mingle as the Taraakian and the Cerebrates mind unite with the consiousness of Vaeregoth and they know and understand now. They feel reality, they feel the everything in the void. <<Cherish this experience for non have experienced it before exept the gods when they created the reality as you know it now.>> <<Taraakian feel this, know this, learn from this and share it with your kind.

A new future and a new fate for all of us.>> <<In what Image shall it be made?>> ---------------------------------------------------------- Tell me Edena, in what image shall what reality where be reshaped? Vaeregoth awaits the desire, the wish. The dream of the Taraakians and it will be so. Vaeregoth will make the Taraakian dream reality. Tell me what the Taraakian dares to dream. I hope you read the entire post carefully for there are alot of minor details like the inner darkness that might have a effect the effects of the mists on my PC and on the ingathering that is growing. May all you fare well through the coming ours for we have arrived on the shores of destiny. A shore forged by Vaeregoths hand. [/QUOTE]
