The Vision of Horror approached the Reaver of Dreams, who turned at the mere presence of the unenlightened one. “The Curator of Torment has not been seen for nearly seven rotations. It is as if the connection is broken. I cannot sense anything.”
<br><br>
“Nor I; the council network has been corrupted. Probability dictates the most likely cause is the Curator attempting to mask tracks. We are meant to observe and catalog these species. He has crossed a dangerous line into meddling with futures and fates”
<br><br>
“Should we bring this before the council before his plans reach the boiling point?”
<br><br>
“Curator of Torment has done well in suggesting that it is I who is behind these matters. Insufficient evidence to the contrary will result in a decision to cast me out. As the only entity who knows the truth, there would be none left to stop the Curator’s plans.”
<br><br>
“What is the extent of his plans?”
<br><br>
“It appears to be a play for power in the Council. To what end is yet to be clear. I have detected a tear in the fabric of portal energy over the mass they call “Marae Lassel”. The Curator’s next move must be there.”
<br><br>
“I shall investigate the disturbance.”
<br><br>
“This is far worse than before. Enlist the aid from the beings of Dereth. We cannot do this alone and they must be ready for the fight that may be brought to their door. We will need to –“
<br><br>
Spinning around quickly the Reaver of Dreams searched through the energies around them. After a short moment he readdressed the Vision of Horror. “Act quickly for my time of hiding is coming to an end. I must present my case to the council soon. Go now. Do not fail. Our very existence may rely on you alone.”
<br><br>
The Vision of Horror sped away and vanished into the energies. A trio of Virindi descended upon the Reaver. “You have been summoned at behest of the Council.”
<br><br>
“I will report momentarily.”
<br><br>
“The council requires your immediate presence. We are to escort you there.”
<br><br>
The council stood in a crescent facing the Reaver of Dreams as he entered the chambers. “You are accused of acts against the foundation and structure of the Singularity. What have you to say?”
<br><br>
“One amongst you is a traitor to us all. The Curator of Torment began experimenting on our very kind, a travesty to say the least. He continues these experiments on other species, a direct violation of our procedures.”
<br><br>
The Curator of Torment broke rank and moved in front of the Council. “If it is me that you accuse, then why do I have proof that you have corrupted an Olthoi Queen and are preparing to release it onto the unsuspecting denizens of Dereth?”
