[IC] Eternal Galaxy: Shards of Starlight - Part I

??? - Hall of Blood

All things come to an end.
Our lives are but pawns.
A game played by gods.
All things come to an end.
This is the truth of things.
The question is, will ye prolong the suffering?
Keep it all from ending now?
Or will ye find the way forward, past this premature death?
All things have their time, but what is the true end? When is the prescribed end that which fate has set?
Will these angry gods be the ones to determine our fate?
Or shall it be us, the mortals?
Will we rest with our hands tied by gods?
Or will we break the bonds and clear a new path forward?

Revere stared at the table at which he sat. It was an ornate wooden dining set. The room was of black and reds everywhere. Even the sky through the window had a blood red hue.
"What say ye, Materia?" The silver haired man turned to the woman in a black dress and veil covering half her face. from her hood. "What is our future?"
"Milord, you know what I have told you."
"Aye, what you have already seen. Yes, the future set in stone that only you Vatians may see. If you could change it here and now, would you?"
"Yes. However, I see you doing that which my visions do say will come to pass."
"That is correct."
"You speak of changing the future, yet you have yet to heed my advice. Why do you continue down the set path?"
"...What is our future?"
"Milord..."
"Materia! What is our future!"
"...."
"There is nothing to change now, but when the time is right, all fate shall be changed forever."
"You are so certain of this? Milord?"
"Yes. It will come to pass. But I need you now, Lady Materia. I need you to tell me, what Is the current future?"
"...no different than as I have told you before."
"Aye...aye..." Revere sank back into the chair he was sitting at after he had risen before in his outburst. "It is still on course then. The winds still favor us."
The future is slowly changing...but it is yet to be obvious.

John simply listened and remained silent after Joe explained Lady Avonna's status. After all, there was nothing that needed to be said.

Cortana, on the other hand, was curious about Lady Avonna's history. What caused her father's death? Was it an assassination, or was it of natural causes?

"What happened to her father?", Cortana asked.

Mara was walking from behind the group just enough to be on her thoughts, the strange thing was that she was thinking of her memories ("I wonder if my parents are alive and safe, I haven´t heard of them in years and even less since my reconstruction.. They would surely see me as a succesful test, having all three parts of a cyborg, a bioroid and a human.. or what is left of the last one") she thought darkly

("Something big is coming and what a perfect way to go to hell or heaven, by going on a suivide mission, atleast this thing will be of help") the golden eyed woman thought holding her portal gun

"Let me get my gloves on then." Mima went over to the pocket dimension portal, and pulled out a set of large gloves, putting them on, and heading over to the closet and began pulling everything out and tossed it into the pocket dimension with amazing accuracy, and within a minute, her job was completed.

"There." Mima said. "All emptied."
