She smiled and took Felicity's hand.

She stared.

O-oh!

She squeezed.

Breath it was, yes.

Action it was, no.

Are you ready?

This is my humble castle of darkness. Make yourself at home.

I..I think so.

They reach a large room, one the far side of which darkness pools. A figure kneels in the middle of it.

God forbid a man has a job 🙄

Jakob turns to the eternal king 
"You are intellect, apparently. You will become a god. You will become that." Jakob points towards the shadowy figure and walks towards it.

Hello there Slumber!

Hello there Slumber! 

The Eternal King raised an eyebrow. “Woah. Grouchy.”

It isn’t sentient… place your hand in.

His light was more intense than ever, but the darkness was almost liquid around Intellect.

"Mh. I will kill you, later." 

Jakob reaches towards where the slumber's heart would be and reaches in, his light shining ever brighter.

It is a good day to die.

The Eternal King opened his mouth, but then froze. Time froze.

Good. Now I can do what I need to do.

The light separated from Jakob, manifesting as a figure who looked vaguely like The Flame. He put one hand to his side, another deep into the Slumber.

With the free hand, he pulled a lattice out of the air. “Many have tried to find a way to restrain the Slumber. And to restrain the Chaos. Me included. They were each missing something, but I bring here a version of the past where Waela succeeded. However, it needs someone to keep it in check.”

He brought forth a hand, alit with flame. The lattice was charged with the fire, coursing and changing. But he stabilized it, holding the Slumber to it.

The two balanced each other, the Chaos prodding the Slumber along, but the Slumber containing the Chaos.

 

The lattice formed a sort of ethereal illusion of a crown. “I would ask you to share this with the others, please. To put you in charge of it all… it would be like it was before. You need people to balance you.”

Yes. Share it.

For sure.

Yes.

Not take it for himself.

Jakob sighs. He's sighed a lot, recently.

"I will not allow anyone else to take this burden. I will not see anyone I care about again." He places it upon his head.

Then wills himself to die.

The Flame shakes his head. “I am sorry, Jakob. This will not kill you.”

”But I have selected others. And they will partake.”

@Spark of Hope

”Daughter of Mirth. I trust you to choose forces which will balance you and Jakob as keepers of the Archstone.”

"Don't do this." Jakob says. Looking towards her. He looks sad. "I don't think we will remain human."

Aela's eyes widened.

"W-what??"

Felicity froze, her face downcast. Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at Aela.
