Sin and Sacrifice: The Final Hour
Atticus watches in horror as his closest friends and family fall under Aethrealyn's onslaught. Panic surges beneath his skin as he runs to them, reckless to the lightning still crackling in the air. He doesn't have time to think. Power responds to his call like a plucked string, Baetyl pouring forth in a well of ether. Protection. Safety. Rejuvenation. It responds to his subconscious, shaping itself into the form his soul seeks. The glittering obsidian ghost of a great elk towers over him, bending low and shielding him and his charges from Aethrealyn's wrath. Flowers bud and bloom from their wounds, before crumbling to ash and leaving them whole. His shaking hands scrub blood and grime from the faces before him as they stir again. The elk blinks once, turns to look to the sky, and crumbles away into green petals.
A furious reverberating scream rends the sky, the air shivering with thunderous power. Aethrealyn scorns, most of all, mortal attachment. Atticus is too slow to turn, and even if he could, he is no trained soldier. There is no avoiding the retribution that befalls him next.
ok well, this was going to be a multi-page comic, but that plan fell apart as it tends to for me hjsdfjhdgfh. there will be a continuation after the event....eventually....i decided it was time for attie to gain a scar of his own
but yes. i do want to clarify, just in case, that Attie in no way summoned Tharoneos here-- the baetyl simply took the form of him, as he so deeply represents protection and safety (ironic i know) in atties' mind. i decided not to use poppy after all. i felt that it cheapened her and atties story. i love u poppy im sorry
thank you for such an amazing event!! i can't believe it's finally over!
and thank you kishi, ammy, and dee for letting me beat up ur kids a little bit HJWJHWH smooches them all on their cute lil heads
