Clarity of Evernight Plateau (LONG version)

Post by Butterfly »

On the house side of the Little Bridge on Evernight Plateau, Uthanatos, Arnaya and Arlyana Jax began work on the statue of their departed Ruler Clarity.

Arlyana Jax began by laying a FateSister pin at the base, that being the first and deepest connection she shared with Clarity, then rubbed her hands together and lay them on the pillar, her wings buffeting it with bright pink sparkles. Arnaya exhaled slowly and raised her arms to either side of her body. A fierce crackling sound like a deep blaze, rose around her with a flicker of heat distortion as a corona

Uthanatos stuffed a Jade Tan elemen in his mouth and reached out, his hand glowing golden. As he touched the stone, his hand sunk into it, stopping at about the wrist.

The stone seems to almost ripple like water around Uthanatos's wrist.

Uthanatos mumbled a bit as a slight golden glow began to emanate from sections of the pillar, "six inch spikes....bustier...such...bright..colours.” Uthanatos, worried about the incoming rush of a FateSender’s favoured element, fire, added “I have the image...just, try not to fry me too badly”.

Arlyana Jax made her flutters more streamlined and direct, the sparkles coalesced into a stream and whispered softly "My dearest sister, you gave me a home. You gave me a family. Sisters by fate”. Arnaya let a grin cross her lips at a memory as she brought her hands forward to face the spike. The crackling flowed from her palms as the distortion erupts into visible, ruby flames that poured in a torrent around the pillar.

The flames pop and crackle around the pillar, the infused stone snapping and buzzing with energy.

Arnaya smiled warmly as she turns her palms, letting the flames blaze and mingle with the glitter from AJ's wings. Spiraling upwards around the spike as they shaped themselves into a petite woman's figure. "Silver hair, indigo eyes and glitter, she's the cause of all the glitter, and my sender streak" added Uthanatos.

At this moment, Gorgunsun of the Monastery of the Shadow entered, bringing Aphrael of Calenture and Crystalline of the Monastery with him. All of them were invited to add their memories and energy to the work.

Glitter sparkles and shimmers around the stone. A soft popping noise echoes through the night air as pieces of glitter melt against the stone.

Arnaya kept her focus on the pillar and the ruby flames poured from her palms to spiral up the statue. The woman’s shape became more definite within the flames and glitter. The core blazed brighter.

The fires continue to burn hotly, slowly spiralling around the stone.

Arlyana Jax directed her wing’s flutters to further stream Lucid sparkles into the stone. Uthanatos’ crest blazed with life as his Will flowed into the stone, he stepped back from the flames, the golden stream encased in multihued glitter as it flowed forth. Gorgunsun, made a great sacrifice by snipping off some of his braids and tossed them into the fire before sharing a shot of whiskey with the flames.

Uthanatos spoke over the roar of the flames, “One of the good ones, and sorely missed, always kind, always prepared to help and sacrifice for the rest”.

The scent of burnt hair and minerals fills the air, a soft plume of smoke wafting off the stonework.

Aphrael sparked Will between her hands, sending silvery and golden showers towards the flames.

The soft echo of what sounds like heels crosses the stone, though no one seems to be there...

Golden images of Clarity appeared and worked into their stone, one after another, the first her pale cracked avatar, wispy strands of soulsphere leaking but a warm smile on her face, then others, whole, happy, laughing. “Clarity... you offered your sisterhood freely, without restriction or limit... your compassion, affection, and company. Calenture, Grant your blessing and let us honor one who served you well, and truly.” prayed Arnaya, sending her own memories to appear within the flames, before Uthanatos added the final ingredient...glitterbombs.

The glitterbomb disappears within the heated stone, and as the words are spoken, one could almost see a smile in the stone, almost as warm as the flames surrounding it. Suddenly, the glitterbomb bursts from within the stone!

Heated flames growing over hotter against the nearby stone.

Standing in the place of the spike is now a very rough looking statue, covered in sparkling glitter and still hot to the touch.


Seeing that the statue was incomplete, those gathered began to use Power Tokens to imbue the statue with the energy to become fully realized. Uthanatos placed the first, then Arnaya, Arlyana Jax and Aphrael.

The wind blows clouds of glitter around the bridge, twinkling in the firelight. The statue doesn't seem to have the same energy as the ones across the bridge, but it absorbs the power tokens easily.

Sensing what was missing, Uthanatos brought the Orb of Calenture down from the house and drew upon it, an arc of energy reached out to the first statues (those of Kage and Thunderman) from it.

The energy streaks across the bridge to the statues on the other side of the bridge, the Orb thrumming with energy as the statues begin to glow slightly brighter in its presence.

Arlyana Jax stood at Clarity's side and gently touched the stone and increased her fluttering speed to send streams of sparkles to the statue of Kage, engulfing it.

The sparkles twinkle in the air, like thousands of migrating fireflies across the bridge.

Arnaya extended one hand towards Clarity’s statue, and the other towards Kage’s. An oddly interwoven melody swirled forth from her lips, seeming to flow in a direct line around both statues, then connecting between them.

The rough statue begins to softly glow, the ground slightly trembling under foot as the Orb glows ever brighter.

Sparkling, dancing, the connecting sparkling energy between the statues whirling around, the Orb of Calenture glowing almost like a brilliant star amidst a small, ever turning galaxy.


Magnum-425, FateSender of Calenture, arrived and sent an image of Clarity, holding the shape of a heart to her chest, as Gorgunsun drained some of his DreamSoul and Aphrael some of her Will into the statue.

With a bright, glowing burst of rose gold light, a pair of wings of white light emerge from the back of the rough statue, stretching out into the sky in almost blinding glory.

A direct line seems to form from each of the other two statues and the Orb, directly to the rough statue, the stone almost seeming to come to life a moment as it stretches out, a vague smile appearing on its face.


Arlyana Jax lay another Token upon the wings, as they wrapped around the figure, obscuring her completely. A statue of a pair of wings wrapped around a small figure. The figure is hidden, the only real visual peeking outside of the wings being a pair tall, stone heels. The stone hums with energy, glowing very faintly.
