Vicros sits in front of the Crystal of Enlace, trying to call upon the bond he has with Primus, the God of Order, to guide him in healing the Crystal of its fractures.
Around him he can feel foreign emotions washing around and over his mind from Lucky, Leif, Rae, Markus and Seraphina. Emotions that normally Vicros has no use for. However something tells him in this place and time, that actually feeling the normally chaotic emotions and *BALANCE THEM* will help stabilise everything. He feels romantic love, a mothers love, the love of comradeship, the love of oneself, surrounding and suffusing the Crystal and the cavern and realises there is another form of love. One that he is uniquely able to hold and experience, without letting it control him…the love of Battle and Violence. So, falling into a trance, Vicros makes eye contact with Chaya, the Genasi embodiment of violence, normally the most chaotic of elements, and allows himself to FEEL what they feel, looking around, he wants to *KILL, RIP, BITE, TEAR* ,but maintains the balance between the fury and bloodlust he experiences.
The Crystal begins to repair itself, and everything pauses…the Crystal is fully healed.
*Tick*
Balance has been achieved, Vicros is standing on the knife edge between Order and Chaos, and is not faltering.
*TICK*
Something changes again, and without conscious thought, Vicros and the others turn to see a rip form in the cavern wall, through it is *CHAOS* and Vicros feels the fury returning to him.
The portal snaps shut behind the two figures of the Vazroques who entered through it, cutting off the entry of the BEAST behind them.
Suddenly all around the cavern are flashing lights, beams twinkles of pure and chaos magic being flung by everyone who can throw it. The melee fighters are weaving in and out of the way.
Chaya and Vicros end up standing side by side, Order and Chaotic Violence United, combined and balanced, when they are both laid low by the might of the Vazroques.
………….
*tick tick ticktickticktick*
Vicros snaps awake, and all he feels is pain. He looks up in time to see Morena Vazroque scream in anguish and fury at her felled wife, as she promises “DUSK IS COMING FOR THE DAWNLANDS!” and vanishes using the brooch she rips from her wifes body.
Vicros is helped to his feet as Chaya is being healed. He takes a step, staggering towards her, feeling the violence begin to fade from his mind.
It is done, the Crystal is whole again, as it must be, as the Way it HAS to be. But this is not over. We failed to end the threat. He then looks through the doors of the cavern to see the multitude of Genasi civilians that still live because of what we’ve done.
“It will be enough for now.” Vicros thinks to himself.
*Tick*
*Tick*
And the wheel keeps on turning, for now.
