A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

[ His mastery over the moon, over the Underworld, and over magic have suffered far more than his power over words during this, but he can still perform spells. Basic miracles are draining, but this is different. This requires preparation, and so he prepares, and then he casts.

Listen to the wind, birds of the Morrígan, and hear what the ibis has to say. ]

Order and Chaos. The balance will be kept. What has been seen will come to pass.

[ Their eyes grow dim. Their Site wains. But the birds of the Morrígan's ears remain sharp and they taste the ibis' words on the wind. The littlest sister, whose name is still fresh with newly laid ink, hears and knows and writes again. ]

scribe of ma'at in the company of gods
lord of divine words

three times great

these names are yours
and in names are power
and with these names and this power
we thank you

the balance kept
the words written
the black wing bless you
cousin ibis

know:

of those who would look to burn us in our beds
a defector will rise
trust him trust him

[ He sees the words, archives them as all words are archived. His minders will not see them, save perhaps long after this has passed. ]

May your eyes continue to see what others do not, Crowmother and Crowchildren, three and one and many.

I will trust him. He shall be more important than myself.

[kah]

there is power in words
but words are not sight
and sight is what is given to the crowmother and her children
to illuminate all paths
future and past

'usurper' said the morrígan
'defector' says the nameless sister
now named as mari
let it be written

which word holds more truth
we cannot say
a usurper usurps
a defector defects
but one of the these things will come to pass
and in them, place your trust
weigh their heart
save us all

[threetimesgreat]

It is written.

Their heart will be weighed, as is my duty, and beyond. By the Nile, I swear this.
