Moving spheres

"It's the same for any leader, divine or otherwise, but yes," Alicia confirms. "Even if few can match my personal power, numbers and time add up to far more than I could do alone. And it works the other way too - their worship, their efforts, strengthen me so that I can then leverage more strength to our shared cause. Unity of purpose, that's the key. That's where the Answer that Creation is built to find will be discovered."

You feel it more than you hear Jessica's reply - a connection between the two of you, strong and vibrant.

Go check the node post, Alicia. You got this one super quickly and early, you nailed your responses here out of the park.

[Ebiris]

"Ah, did you feel that?" Alicia asks. "It's like before, after we fought off that attack on Sylica..." she peers at Jessica intently. "Curious, isn't it?"

[Anastasia]

Atop Jessica's hand it forms - a nearly invisible series of black wires, forming a loose tiara of sorts. It sits there, only visible in the dimmest, most faintest way. Jessica reaches up and touches it gingerly, "Again it happens," Jessica says, "Whomever this is, they agree this is what must be done."

[Ebiris]

Alicia's eyes glow faint blue as she looks at the newly formed tiara now. "They're not sparing with the gifts either."

Not just to identify it but also to figure out how it just appeared out of nowhere like that.

[Anastasia]

It simply did. It is so it was, an impossibility that is yet real.

"We're really going to have to face her, Alicia, and we're going to need all of this and more to have a prayer," Jessica reaches up, touching her new tiara, eyes rolling up to try and look at it.

"No one ever said it was going to be easy, sister," Alicia says wryly, getting up and going to open a nearby cabinet, pulling out a hand mirror which she offers to Jessica so she can examine her new headpiece. "It looks good on you."

[Anastasia]

Jessica takes it, a wing twitching as she examines it. "It does. I like the style. It makes an impact without being too obvious and staying pretty. It's mysterious, don't you think?"

[Ebiris]

"Subtle," Alicia agrees. "It hints at hidden depths."

[Anastasia]

"Beautiful," Jessica sighs fondly, "Whomever this is also has a grasp of fashion. I would not expect that."

[Ebiris]

"Something to ask them about if we ever get a face to face meeting," Alicia muses, sitting back down. "I don't doubt they're old and wise enough to have picked up a great many skills."

[Anastasia]

"For now," Jessica rises, "I need to see about moving some pebbles, sister."

[Ebiris]

"Good luck then. And remember you can ask anyone here for help if you need it," she encourages.

[Anastasia]

Going off to work on the Icon next, then?

[Ebiris]

Yeah, I'll ask Syala if she has any ideas first. Because she's chaotic.
