Shifting and flickering, the air surrounding the phoenix is infused with an intense heat, surrounding her like an aura barely visible to sight yet appearing all the more tangible. Her plumage is composed of multicoloured feathers, starting with yellow at the shaft and flaring out to black at the tips. A faint dusting of gold covers each wing, causing them to shine and glimmer. Her eyes are round and small, but glowing with crimson flames, as if burning from within while her beak is long and narrow and a deep coal-black in colour. Burning midnight flames dance across the phoenix's plumage every so often, making her a magnificent creature of light, heat and vivid colour.

My poor forest. T_T

(The Hartfire Hearth): Rika says, "I swear, you only come on Lusternia to creep me out."

It's true!!!

The deep, resonant chime of a large bell oscillates through the air around you and the environment turns a deep twilight for a brief moment.

Emanating from the aether, a sonorous multi-toned voice says, "What are you doing?"

The deep, resonant chime of a large bell oscillates through the air around you before fading into nothingness.

Ha, of course Elostian decides to pay me a visit while I'm screwing around in another window. Looks like he was standing there for almost five minutes

Rippling thunder bursts across the heavens, coruscating cosmic energies ravaging the clouds and skies in a furious display of raw anger, the Star of Celest and the nine beacons that support it wavering.

(Celest): Eventru says, "ENOUGH!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "You all behave like petty children! We have seen animals with more decorum and decency than each and every one of you!"


(Celest): Eventru says, "A starving bear has more tact! A hungering shark less veracity!"


(Celest): Eventru says, "We will hear NOTHING over the city aethers - you all will sit in silence and contemplate your own rampant ignorance and stupidity."


(Celest): Eventru says, "Your city is ravaged by a manifestation of Zenos, yet some among you lie to your citymates about what need be done, so that no progress is made while you sleep, so that you can claim some petty demarcation as having stuck something enough times with your stick or sword or pretty little symbol!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "Others of you spend so much time arguing over who is right or who is wrong or who does more and who's opinion matters based on how you assist, you would not know if the city itself was gone!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "And if you do not fall into one of those two groups, you whine and bemoan that no one tells you what to do! Devotion and the willingness to follow are important, but sometimes you must stand up and lead!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "And for those of you who sit there and shake your heads in silence and think, 'that is not me! I am not one of them!' then you are perhaps the worst of them all, because you care for nothing! You sit there twiddling your thumbs idly waiting for others to resolve your problems, and then complain when they are not resolved fast enough! You demand laws, but then rebel against them when they do not suit your desires!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "So enough is enough! We have spent years slowly growing tired of the apathy and self-loathing that has been instilled in this city, and you have finally driven Us to Our last nerve - there will be SILENCE upon this aether until ALL of you learn to work together, as one entity, within the Light!"

(Celest): Eventru says, "Each of you blame someone else for your problems - or worse, you blame the Light or Our Self for lack of guidance or lack of control, for lack of command! You wish to place blame, look no farther than your own short-comings."

Celest has become baaaaad. I have already contacted my real estate agent to look at different orgs.

Thank you for my daily lolcat, Shaddus. Also, that was some awesome on Eventru's part.
