Stage 1: The Shards
All that Kanto opened my eyes to as he opened the door to me has led me to this point. I do not think he truly understood just what he had uncovered when he stumbled upon the Primordial Shrines and the Fonts within. Kanto began his work with me with a few basic rules of Planesmithing. Nothing he shared with me in those beginning lessons gave me any indication that he knew where this journey would take us. As our work continued, I witnessed in him a childlike exuberance that came with each discovery. As he continued to excavate more, it became clear that this was no simple archaeological discovery. I do not know what force was behind bringing us together in the way that it did, but as our work continued it became evident that something beyond our imagining was speaking to the both of us through our connections with these terrible and beautiful Primordial secrets.
We quickly moved beyond fundamental topographical discoveries and relationships into fantastic work to establish energetic conduits. I realize now that these first projects laid the groundwork for a deeper understanding of parity and the balance of cosmological forces we had never before considered. There are those who may use the word balance, but they use it only in the most basic sense of understanding and for no higher purpose than agitprop. It has previously only been used as a measure of relativity and justification for reactionary motivations.
My mentor and I found ourselves swept up in a chronologically based anomaly. The Darkness, The Revenant, The Coven of the Echt and the Yissen were found to be caught up in a cycle that turned our notion of time on its head. The details of this Saga will be recorded elsewhere.
Having lost my mentor and being faced with options that do not meet with my pleasure, I have determined that a solution can be found back where this all began. With the Primordial secrets revealed to me through our work and through forces beyond my understanding that are connected to the Breach.
My role in the Saga, now, is to find a resolution. While I have not shown grief as others have, with balloons and games, I have expressed my pain. Those who stood beside me as I empowered the Vacuity Shard and the Profusion Shard can attest to this.
It is my goal now to demonstrate through action and intent just what my potential and my path has now become. I am the mother of creation. I am a vessel of potential. I am Creation, and I am Death. I will ascend and become an energetic being of perfect parity.
Of course, words are easy.
The first step of my current work and resolution for our current predicament is to empower the Vacuity Shard and the Profusion Shard. And so; I did. Within the Temple of the Elements, I did gather with a number of my fellows to attempt an act of empowerment. Channelling the knowledge entrusted to me and that which I have developed on my own, I escaped my physical limitations if only for a short time. Acting as a conduit myself, I shed my avatar as one might peel back the layers of an onion. Through manipulation of the Dreamstate itself and application of elemental mastery, I empowered the Shards as mentioned above, bringing them to life with the raw and unadulterated power of the cosmos beyond. What's more, I used these same skills and knowledge I have within me to safely contain these primal energies, successfully empowering the shards.
This journey has opened my eyes to powers that leave me in awe. I have been humbled and engorged with pride. I have felt the sharpest pangs of loss and blazing moments of adoration. Above all of these things, I hold within my soul a white-hot ember of revenge. It burns, but it does not consume. It tempers me. Through the loss and the grief, I have become stronger, stronger than most can allow themselves to imagine.
I am just getting started.
