Renaldo, watched as the congregation left the hall. He turned to Lyra, “here take this book to Daric. He is going to need it.”
Lyra frowned. “Why would you give this to Daric? You know what he is going to do with it it? I do not believe there can be any good that shall come from this Renaldo. I question your sanity.”
Renaldo chuckled. “You assume I want him to do anything good with it? My sanity, that is an interesting concept. To be sane, needs a point of reference my dear Lyra. You and I are more alike than you would care to think. You are young but you will find that in order to keep the balance between what you deem as good vs bad, you will have to do many “insane” things to bring your balance. Of the three magic orders, I feel that Neutrality just might be the more evil of them all. Because your alignment shifts like the paper in the wind. and yet you stand here asking me what “good” can come from giving the Obsidian Cabal the book of the dead filled with my magic spells?”
She pauses, “Wait are you saying that I am evil Renaldo?”
He could not help himself, he laughed. “Lyra, did I say that? No, I said that in order to act in neutrality, you can not define it as evil/holy. You have to look at it as balancing the scales. Excessive Order is just as bad as excessive chaos. There must be a balance between the two. In order to maintain a proper balance, there will be times when you will have to reign chaos upon those that seek control, and other times you would have to encourage the iron fist of order. Because you see my young one. If you speak in terms of strict order, you have a clear black and white side that does not allow for any shade of grey. When there is not a shade of grey between the harsh contrast of black and white, you have no room for mercy or forgiveness.
A clear shock came across her face. She became lost in thought for a moment. “So in order to break Lumina’s control. Nexus must be shattered and the gods must fall.”
“Exactly.”
All Revolts start as an idea. Or a divergence of Ideas
The Obsidian Cabal
Daric
The second highest authority within the obsidian Cabal, Dariac oversees all operations and strategies. He is the mastermind behind the Cabal’s plans, ensuring that everything aligns with Aether’s chaotic vision. Dariac is ruthless and calculating, known for his cold precision and unyielding loyalty to Aether.
“Lyra, why do you give this to me? When you know what I seek it for? I thought you were a good guy?”
Lyra laughed. “I was recently reeducated. I understand my place in order of life a bit clearer. I am what I need to be to keep the scales.”
“That makes no sense Lyra.” Daric frowned.
Lyra laughed, “It does not make sense to me either yet. But I am sure it will become clear soon enough.”
Daric eyed her with suspicion, “How did you get Renaldo’s personal book of death magic?”
“That is an easy answer. He gave it to me to give to you.” Lyra smiled, with wicked innocence.
“Right, Like I am supposed to believe that.” He takes the book in his hands. It hums with powerful resonance. The claws on the front cover comes to life and “bites” his finger. It draws blood, drinking the crimson fluid that gives him life. The locks on the book … unlock. Daric smirks. He did not draw back at the pain in his finger. He let the book take its toll. Daric’s eyes flashed with an eerie sapphire before fading back to his sky blue.
“Well Enjoy! I shall leave you and your naughty mind to spin whatever plans you like.
Voices filled Daric’s head. “Your god lives not yet. He will come to you in due time but until then we have planning to do. Aether wants your blood sacrifice. Find a place in the farthest reaches of the Dimension, away from Sapphrine. To build me a temple. A shrine, A door to open so that when the time is right I may taste my revenge on my pathetic Queen, Sapphrine. Do this for me, and I shall grant you power you can not imagine.”
Caution!!!!! Entrance could mean death
Lyra went to Diaglo in secret. “Brother, I must talk to you, I fear we must make special provisions. She took a ball of hair out of her pocket.
Diaglo raised a brow. “You want to make the stones?”
“We must because if you do not all will be lost. I have already set the ground work, The highway is already created. My crystalline knights turned out perfect. There is one for every stone.” Lyra put the hair in her brothers hand.
“Do you realize what you are asking me to do? This will shatter Nexus.” Diaglo’s eyes narrowed in on her.
“I know.” Lyra said with no hint of joy in her voice.
“Damn it all, Why would you want to shatter our home!?!” Diaglo added with anger.
“Well, Because our home has not felt like home since I have had a body. Lumina hates us. She hates anything that does not have perfect symmetry. and you know it. She needs to be tempered! The only way to do that, is to make the stones of power, taint Xanther and create a Litch King. Only then will we be able to have the power needed against Lumina! “
“Lyra, when do we decide when the sacrifice is too high? You are asking to destroy our home, taint Nexus’s King, Kill his brother, and for me to cut all ties to humanity.”
She looked down. “I know.” She whispered. She raised her eyes to meet his once more, “But is the cost of inaction greater? What happens if we let Lumina maintain control? Everyone we love loses the reason we love them! She will either kill them, or send them through her ‘re-education.”
Diaglo narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean?”
Her eyes went wide. “She did not tell you?”
He growled. “What is she hiding! We promised no secrets between us!”
Lyra’s eyes filled with sadness, “She builds an army as we speak to march against Nexus. She has created ‘Spectral’ Warriors. They were created to destroy the army of Ages.”
“She would not dare!”
“I will show you brother.” Her expression deadly serious.
