Chapter 13: Undercurrents
There is a crime that has nowhere to complain, there is a sadness that tears are not enough to symbolize.
Standing in front of the newly built statue of Rashil, Worazun quietly looked at her mother's face, because she was eroded by the power of the Queen of Blades, who inherited the power of domination, the matriarch dissipated into the universe at the moment of death, and she could only come here every time she missed her mother. But it was the place she didn't want to come to, because she felt guilty and a little cruel.
"I guessed you would be here", Tyras walked up the steps and looked at the matriarch overlooking the city, for he was full of respect, for it was this slightly weak female spirit who had taught him the ways of the Dark Templar. "Because he longs for the light, he hides in the darkness and waits for the dawn", these are the words of Vorazun when he taught him martial arts, and he has always remembered it, however, he feels puzzled and anxious about the teacher's recent behavior, and there is a slight disapproval.
It's all Kara's slaves, yes, that's what he says about the Elstar Spirits, they are self-contained through Kara, and although they don't seem to discriminate against Naira's mother, that faint sense of superiority still can't hide their pride and disdain, and that kind of unguided pity. Commiseration? It really drove him crazy to think about it, when did Naira's mother need the mercy of these lost dogs, it would be nice if they didn't laugh at Al's broken house, he believed that there were many people in the clan who thought the same as him, but now, what were the new patriarchs and elders doing? When Tyras learns of this, he really wants to ask if they have been drenched in ecstasy.
"What's the matter with you?" She was not unaware of the undercurrents within the clan, but these clansmen did not understand how terrifying the enemies they were about to face in the future were. The hybrid found by Zeratul was already tricky for them, not to mention, there was also the hidden enemy behind it, what Duran called the sleeping enemy, no one knew when it would wake up and what it was going to do, but if it didn't prepare early, then the star spirit would have no future.
"I... I'm just", looking at the other party's bright eyes, he suddenly couldn't speak, the other party was in his eyes, he was also a teacher and a friend, he understood the other party's sacrifice, especially a tribal system like the Star Spirit Society. Unlike the other Naira mothers, he knew very well that the statue erected at this time was not to commemorate the great patriarch, but to show his determination through the statue that she would not commit the same mistakes and sins as her predecessors, but that the price was too large, not only for her personally, but also for the survival of Naira's mother race.
"I understand", although the other party did not say it, but she already understood, but she simply thought that time would prove her choice was correct, and the people would eventually understand all this, and as long as she and the elders such as Mohandar and Zeratul existed, the opposition could not make any waves.
"Since there is nothing to do, then gather the guards and follow me to the Star Light Fortress", the reason why she came today was because the upcoming alliance made her suspicious, however, she did not object, but as some people were worried, how to deal with Naira's mother in the future union, she was a little undecided, she tried to seek the help of Mohandar and Zeratul, and they just asked her to follow the guidance of her heart, "So, where does my heart yearn?" She whispered
The Astral Light Fortress was newly built, and Artanis, taking into account the particularities of the two peoples, did not place the coalition government in either New Antioch or Tyrostria, but built a new fortress in the middle of the two cities, which was circular in its entirety, with a diamond-shaped spire in the middle, guarded by crystal towers around it, and a photon turret built around the city, as well as the unique Kedarin boulder of Nela's mother, which had a longer range and faster charge, and powerful energy shots. It plays a major role in keeping the city safe, after all, Artanis is well aware that the portal to the El will be opened in four years, and that will be the time for the Astral Spirits to counterattack.
"I will defend your safety to the death"
"Hehe, what danger can I have, it's the place where the stars and spirits are built together", shaking her head, Worazun walked down the steps, she was going to the Leap Gate located in the west of the city, and directly entered the Star Spirit Light Council Tower.
At this time, where the Bishop's Council of the Star Spirit Light was, Artanis sat on the side of the round table at the top of the spire, quietly waiting for the arrival of other members of the Bishop's Council, as a traverser, he once wanted to change the fate of the Star Spirit, but the development of tens of thousands of years of Star Spirit Society told him that what he did was useless, and before he had the strength to break everything, he could only abide by the original fate that belonged to the Star Spirit.
"I will heal the wounds of war", he was silent, whispering in his heart, if fate made him bear all this, then he chose to accept, unlike in the original time and space, this time, he will not run away again, this leader, he will not give in.
"We knew you would be the first to get here", Yurlan, the fleet commander of the Elstar Spirit, walked over, and behind him was Nathan, the former Archon of the Supreme Council, "It seems that you are ready, our new leader"
Nahan looked at the young Templar, he was not the first survivor to come to Sakulas, but the members that Phoenix later brought back here, and Yurlan, when the El fell, was leading the Astral fleet to patrol the outside to eliminate the insects, and it was this that prevented the Astral from suffering even greater losses, and now, they were all reunited under the new leader, for Artanis, they respected and obeyed, and in their hearts, they lamented that there was a successor to Tassadar, and, as a member of the former Supreme Council, The leader of the Akira tribe, Artanis deserves it.
"No, I'm just doing what I can, you, and, as one of the Els, I've betrayed Kara," he said, revealing his arms, each glowing with different psionic powers.
"No, young man, this is the arrangement of fate, and you are its choice", needless to say, the person who spoke so must be our god stick Zeratul, who was walking side by side with Mohandhar at this time. Unlike the self-exile in the original plane, Atanis changed his fate, and although the exposure of El made him feel guilty all the time, everyone here who was familiar with the characteristics of the star spirit knew that even if he did it again, it would still be the same result, and it was rebirth in the ashes that could bloom the flower of dawn.
