Endgame: Part 2

[letsplayamod]

The week goes on. A small miracle, how quiet it is. With no motives or attacks to speak of, you can breathe a sigh of relief even when a tension gripes the air. So few of you now, what exactly would you do were Typhon to return and decide the game was over? Was Athena always going to be out of reach? And what exactly did she want you to find in the center of this mountain temple, anyway?

Questions abound, and no answers.

...Until this morning. The sky itself is clear with very few clouds, but something still falls into your home. Not "physically," though, it's more of a feeling. The sensation of some great power entering this space. Everyone will notice it, and the way it passes by, sinking beneath the floors - all the way to the bottom level.

And there it ends up, waiting for someone brave enough to investigate.

It works similarly where I'm from, as far as I know.

But...yeah, that seems to be the case.

[raisethemoon]

If we are to consider Celestia and I "gods" for this -

[ Which, having gotten some god experience, seems basically to be the case. ]

We depend on no such thing. Fortunately for me. But I'm quite certain we would die if killed.

[sweetsynergy]

Most people do. Typically.

[This is all one hell of an outlier.]

1/2

[raisethemoon]

One would hope so, would they not?

[raisethemoon]

[ A beat later: ]

Ah - I was thinking of Typhon! Not you and the others, dear Aoi!

[sweetsynergy]

[Flatly]

Curse your sudden betrayal.

[murchada]

Damn.

Well. [Looks over at Aoi.] Rest in peace, Aoi.

[yourheroine]

…but Aoi came back?

[sweetsynergy]

It's like I can still hear her voice.

[She puts a hand on Aoi's shoulder.]

You did, and it rocks. Let's just hope everyone else is as lucky. Except Typhon.

[raisethemoon]

[ Her horn flares, and she briefly appears as the alternate self that haunted her during the week Quark died. ]

Oh, yes, the night shall reign eternal and such.

[ She stamps a hoof sardonically, and dismisses the illusion. ]
