Story
Path of stars
Luciel stands on top of a tall hill, gazing upon the valley and watching the other elysiphims settle in to their new home. You approach him, perhaps a little nervously. He turns to you before you have time to speak.
“It is lovely here, peaceful.” He turns back to the valley. “But this peace will not last, for The Weaver has stolen something, something not its own.” Confusion fills your thoughts, but Luciel is quick to answer them. “Eden. It is not The Weavers. It was stolen from the hands of the universe, and the universe wants it back. But to return it, we must war.” War? War is the last word you expect to exit the mouth of a creatures so soft and kind. Luciel’s face is grim. He turns his face upwards, eyes transfixed on the inverted star. “The star, the abyss, it called out to me for help. It told me the truth of reality, and in turn, I promised to help it return that special thing to its rightful place. For millennia, it spun deep in the glyss, free and forever. But The Weaver plucked it from its place, inserting it in its false heaven and forcing it not to turn.” Luciel shook his head, a tsk on his tongue. “The land, the trees, the water, they long for what they once knew, to see the stars again. We must tear it from talon, hand, nail and claw. But I cannot do it alone…” He turns back to you. “Will you help me?” A light shines in his eyes, bright, comforting, dire. He bows his head. “I know it is too much to ask of you, but I must ask regardless.” He turns back to the valley, awaiting your answer.
Path of Filigree
After some time has passed since the display of power and rage by The Weaver, you return back to City Centre. The city is hushed, phims whispering gossip of the event. As you walk through the city, you hear something. An alarming cry of an emergency horn. What could that be for in such a place as this? The threat of Luciel was gone, after all. You rush towards the center of the city where The Weaver’s Throne sits. A crowd is gathering now. A small cherub rushes through the doors, Anapiel, you think, but they moved too quickly to be sure. You stand outside the throne room, waiting. A rumble can be heard from the building. The cherub rushes back outside, shaking. With trembling paws, it manifests another horn, calling in the rest of the city.
“We… we are under attack!” Attack? How? Was it Luciel trying to return? He got what he wanted didn’t he? Why would he be here? “Sound the alarms we are under attack!” Shouted Anapiel, a quiver in his voice. “Luciel and his legion, they are tearing through the sky, the protection charms are unbound! We must… we… I- I-” Sputtering the cherub.
“Enough,” boomed a voice from the crown. The phims parted to make way for Seraphel and Ekzekiel. They padded towards the small cherub. Seraphel turned back towards the crowd. “Those traitors are trying to take The Elysium, our home, all we have. We need to fight back, and we need soldiers to do so.” Her duel voices sound dire and drip with malice. “We must crush them and send them flying back to where they wished so badly to go.” Ekzekiel moved to make statement, but was hushed by Seraphel. “Those that wish to fight, follow me.” Ekzekiel sighs, gathering up himself. He puts his paws forward and stands stall next to Seraphel, though he looks quite short in comparison. Seraphel turns her faces towards you, staring you down. “Well?”
