Final draft for the golem is up in Nagging.
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

See my reply there.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

At last! You stand in Aurora's courtyard looking over your golem, the construction completed. It waits there to be activated, one final bit of power to be channeled into it.

Go ahead and describe, Yuth.

What am I describing, for clarity?

Your golem. Go ahead and do it how you will, it's your moment.

"Whoa! It sure is bigger than I thought it'd be!" Calleigh remarks as she stares up at the golem. Surrounded by scaffolding and work crews hammering out finishing touches and etching surface designs, the golem stands a huge fifty feet tall. Every inch of its seventy foot length is covered in adamantine, and it sparkles dimly. Its body is resting on its haunches, braced up by two powerfully-built forelimbs. Its chest cavity is open and dark inside.

Nearby, Tryll is assisting Latha's team in putting the finishing touches on the goldenfire engine. A final set of caging and supporting structure before it gets slotted into place and brings the golem to life.

Westwind watches, arms crossed as he looks up.

"A fine thing. It should crush many devils beneath it."

Waiting on Moore here.

"It looks good!" Moore says with a few nods. "I'm glad this plan came together."

Thus the engine is put in and the final spells are cast, then...

Go ahead, Yuth. This is your baby, have fun with it waking up.

Technically it's our baby. You, Iddy, and I all made it together. It's a 3-way love child metal abomination against God.

Mental muscles grip the housing around the engine, invisibly lifting it and slotting it into place inside the golem's chest. With a great shove, it slides in with a grinding crunch and the chest cavity closes up around it.

"EVERYBODY OFF THE BIG GUY!" shouts Calleigh.

The golem shudders as people scatter off the scaffolding, and it slowly rises onto its hind legs as its body begins to shine from within. Dazzling light splays off its form as the dim sparkling rises to a bright shimmer, like sunlight on a clear pond. Brilliant golden fire encases its carapace for a brief moment as the engine within fully spins up, shining like a miniature sun before dissipating. The sound of great metal muscles flexing and moving can be heard hundreds of yards away as the golem stands up to its full height before settling down to await commands.

Everyone scatters as the golem comes alive, cheers and clapping as it awakens for the first time.

Latha watches on as it comes to live, "Well done. Use him wisely, Aurora."

"Congratulations, Tryll." Moore says with a clap. "I know this was a long project for you."

"For all of us," Bubbles says, "Didn't you help out more than this, Moore?"

Moore waves a hand. "What's several tons of adamantine blocks between friends?"

"A fortune," Westwind quips right back.
