Shiratak, the hearkening of Zen-Mu
"It was ancient, and there were rules, but, no rule survived the Three Sphere Cataclysm. It remembered much. It had survived the fight that had seen the second, current, heaven, and its sun's first rising." It licked its lips.
It surveyed its current surroundings anew. It was not up to its standards. The creature had heralded the dawn upon Zen-Mu with its cry, when Zen-Mu's peak was unsurpassed. But many things changed, now Qaf was its own being, not just a facet of Malfeas, and many other things were different. You could aspire to greatness, as long as you believed.
What if you had been great, once, and had it taken away, the little voice of Shiratak said, what would you do, to those that had taken greatness from you?
What was fair compensation, what was fair replacement, for the adoration of a countless multitude?
