28-9 Behold Your Savior (II)
There is no forever. For all things relative to people and gods, there is a beginning to the play, a middle, a progression, and an ending for all to come to a final, wondrous halt. Death, in other words. A final death. Cessation.So many fear it. But, to me, it is something to earn. A crescendo to your life to make existence a masterpiece.Have I ever told you how I obtained the seven? I didn't?...

+The Dreamer knows. Such as we predicted. No matter. The other sacrifices are in place. Should we trigger the Forgotten now before the Guilds arrive? Strike with our opening?++No. Hold.

Brief Update
Working on the trial chapters. There are a lot of moving parts. This will run around 20-25 more chapters and lead into the next volume, "The Futures of Love Betrayed." Several very unexpected things will happen, but with the trial rolling and the players slide in place, arranging all the moving pieces will be hard but fun. I will also try to update more for Godclads, and will keep to the c...
