The Executioner of Lilies |
A cloaked woman stands for a while, surveying the destruction left behind in the wake of the Ch'acks, toying with a lily, a cryptic smile touching her lips.
So predictably the Ch'acks violated the ordering of this place, and by their acts of destruction and chaos have furthered the causes of destruction and chaos elsewhere. Embers flaring in the heart of Aidan, a champion of flame, and the stoking of a lust for vengeance in the heart of a dragon being but the first of the sparks to take fire from what has been done here. They closed the way to the physical world from this place behind them when they left, to prevent the 'Soul Eater' from following, but gave no thought to the metaphysical brush fires that their acts of force and wrath have ignited.
The woman departs, back to the Realm of Dreams, a thing of a shadow and light so old that like her sisters* the interdictions of the ruler of that place do not apply to her.
She is patient. She can wait, forever if need be.
* 'Sisters' in the sense of a sorority... They aren't literally related by blood to one another.
