DEIMOS
Heave the silver hollow sliver
“It was as you said,” his eyes flickering down to the burger, the levels of stoicism beginning to bind back over his feaures again. “Those in the Grounds lived in the bubble for over three hundred years. They likely yearned for freedom too.” He held no fault in the freeing of the Voice – understood it, how it had happened, how things altered and changed within the blink of an eye. “The Voice was the one portaling Outlanders in, probably to ensure she was eventually released.” And still was, given how Darkeye, and several others, were trickling into the unknown. “She spread disease. Many were affected by the blight.” Including those he considered his own, like Kiada. “It took a great amount of effort to heal them.” Old Gods, and sacrifices by the Fae. Then there was another topic in the last week of Deepfrost. “During LongNight, her monsters, previous experiments, are released. They spend their time torturing or killing anyone they come across.” His jaw clenched, memories haunting, and the lengths they’d all gone to. The damage done. The way one couldn’t simply erase trauma with a wave of a hand or the shrug of their shoulders. “Over a year ago, the Ascended decided to try and fight the monsters. We believed them successful, but in the previous LongNight, a monster came to Halo.” Which meant not all of them had been slain, and that they could utilize the portals.
Deimos took a few more moments to finish his food and collect himself, gaze flickering over to Zuriel, because the last inquiry might have hurt more than the other thresholds. “Another sickness fell upon us, one I suspect was also linked to the Voice. And I did not have anyone left.” Not with Ru disappearing, Kiada dead, and Amalia abandoning him.
Taking in another long breath, pushing down a range of emotions, he turned his attention to similar machinations made by deities of other worlds. “Some would say she had done much good to the world, but I am not so certain. The consequences greatly outweigh any benefits to her presence.” Dubious now, even of the portals. “The only priest I am aware of is Gideon, in Stormbreak.”
Unite and spread the heart apart
