Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Thank you for the gift."

He goes over to touch the crystal, assuming that's how it works!

[Anastasia]

You take the crystal.

Hold it over the avatar and bend it to you rwill.

[Nephrite]

Moore will take a breath to start the process, before he follows the instructions he's been given.

[Anastasia]

Before your eyes the avatar grows. It's you, down to your gear. It grows in a minute or two and when it completes?

It's like your mind splits apart, yet nothing is lost. You are here, eyes on your avatar.

You are there, eyes on your true body.

You see both at the same time, feel both at the same time. It is no strain, it is entirely natural, as if you've done this for centuries.

[Nephrite]

"...Somehow this is normal, and yet..." he takes in a breath.

The avatar nods. "It gives a new definition to 'the Moore who is not Moore'."

A laugh from both of them before Moore goes back to to wait by the gates.

[Anastasia]

On one hand, a DM nightmare scenario now exists. On the other, Moore can get a lot more reading done.

You wait.

Soon enough the gates open. Soon enough Ilsenine comes - with an escort. Elder Magi Tepen walks besides her as she flutters on, "Moore," Ilsenine calls once she sees you.

[Nephrite]

"Your Majesty." Moore says with a smile. He greets her with a hug, assuming she won't stop him from doing so!

"I think I know why you're here too, Elder Magi. Please, come this way." Moore says as he gestures to them. He will take them past the Market and to his fortress to a meeting room, furnished with chairs and a table, with a window that lets them view outside, but passers-by won't be able to see in!

[Anastasia]

Are you concealing your new nature at all?

[Nephrite]

No, but he's putting his Divine Aura at 0 feet so it won't affect them.

[Anastasia]

"I would like an explanation," Tepen agrees, as Ilsenine hugs you.

Once inside, "What is so urgent, Moore?" Ilsenine asks, to the point.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and sits down. "I suppose a demonstration is in order."

For a moment, he flexes his divine will in the immediate area.

"I have managed to find some secrets within Creation and have ascended." Moore says, simple and to the point. "It was important for me to tell you in person."

[Anastasia]

Ilsenine is still and silent after that, "Oh Moore," she murmurs, stricken.

For his part, Elder Magi Tepen says, "I thought if another rose, it may be one from our numbers," he confesses.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "I think there are those in Aurora who have the ability to do so. I wanted to invite you both, as well as any who can attend, to a celebration in Brightwater. Beyond that, I'm working on a solution to the spiritual wounds issue — apparently even with the bond we created with Lifasa, dinivity still has that limitation. But that's not extremely important in the end, though I would like to be able to walk the fields without causing strife there."

[Anastasia]

Had family drop in, apologies for the delay. I got tied up with it.

"It is...an honor," Tepen says at last, "Of course I will."

Ilsenine looks on at you, still visibly stricken, a hand to her mouth.

[Nephrite]

"I've been a bit busy." Moore says, an apology all but said in his tone of voice. "I didn't wish to burden you more than you've already been with all that goes on, but I know that's not a good excuse. I hope you can forgive me for that. I knew the right time would come eventually."

A smile as he continues on, "I don't expect that anyone is just going to start to worship me, but I would be very honored if anyone from the Lifasan court or from Aurora would like to attend, if just so they can hear about it and spread word."
