High above, in Velkarion's dominion
Kaelen knelt before the remaining six gods.
Lyssara stood apart, silent.
You have seen his power, Velkarion said. He adapts.
Kaelen's voice was steady.
So will I.
Maevros stepped forward.
Then you will bear War.
Flames of crimson wrapped around Kaelen's right arm.
Vorun added geometric sigils across his armor.
Order reinforces you.
Solmire infused radiant light into Judicium.
Light purifies him.
Ithariel reluctantly extended a thread of Fate.
You will see possible outcomes.
Kaelen's body trembled.
His eyes now glowed whitegold.
Lyssara approached last.
She placed a hand on his forehead.
And whispered:
Remember truth.
Not obedience.
Not vengeance.
Truth.
Kaelen opened his eyes.
Second Ascension achieved.
Title formed in divine script:
The Hero of Stabilization
Below, reality began solidifying wherever he stepped.
He was becoming the counterweight to Lorien.
