Chronias

[Nephrite]

"I still plan to undertake One and then use Io's." Moore says. "I can speak to the others on this, but we're in an... interesting situation where I don't know that anyone is an especially good candidate, and may also want to pursue One first."

[Ebiris]

"That's a potentially viable route here," Alicia says on hearing Moore's reasoning. "We simply couldn't risk it ourselves with the risk of the godseed we found being stolen from us, but if it's left here... assuming return visits to Chronias are permitted, it's as safe as can be."

[Anastasia]

'Not like that,' Bastian answers shortly.

Meanwhile, "I will leave it with Io. It is safe there and far easier for you and yours to reach. Chronias is not entirely like the rest of Creation, the glories are too much. You may access it at will."

[Corwin]

"With that seemingly resolved, can I ask more about the underlying issues?" Seira voices. "Do you feel like you've found your Answer, or are you still in search of one despite your moral convictions, Zaphkiel? And what was your criteria for allowing ascension? What is Ao's? How come he allowed Sulia to do it, and why didn't he stop Alicia and I, or Syala and Amaryl?"

[Anastasia]

"A moment on that as well," Zaphkiel says, "I would wish to talk of other things first - for there are other divine seeds to be told of."

[Corwin]

"Sure."

Tor Salinus probably hoards one, the greedy bastard.

[Anastasia]

"We know of three on the transitive planes," Zaphkiel begins, "The first was found by Alicia." To this Alicia gets a look.

"Surprised me," Sylvie speaks up, "But congratulations."

[Ebiris]

"Jessica deserves the credit, she found the lead on something being there," Alicia says, nodding anyway.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa glances over at Sylvie's comment, "I don't know you, but you seem to underestimate your friends a lot. First Moore bringing you back and now this seed."

[Anastasia]

"Next is one in the Deep Ethereal, at the Heart of Dreams," Zaphkiel continues. "I believe it to have three charges, and any who seek it must be able to master and defeat any dream they can imagine. Reality will become a matter of dreams there, and dreams shall oppose you to the last. The Guardian there takes the form of a blindfolded gorgon. This one will not be easy, but nor will it be as difficult as the most challenging seeds."

[Anastasia]

Sylvie glances over at Alyssa, "I'm more surprised they found the location of one and tracked it down without being told," she retorts. "Not that they defeated the Guardian's trials."

[Ebiris]

"Leaving that aside," Alicia says over Sylvie's lack of faith in their initiative, "Can we assume that Asmodeus has pointed these same seeds out to Gathgorian and Bel?"

[Nephrite]

"On the subject of Gathgorian, it's... not exactly a secret that I have allies, as do I imagine most of us do, that aren't exactly a fan of his. Would continued support to them be an issue for all of this?"

[Corwin]

"Yes, please do let us know which ones you suspect are safe and which are known by Asmodeus."

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Is the answer, "They are less numerous than you and have little love for one another, but they are focused and willing to take seeds. However, they are not unentangled, as you are not unentangled." Zaphkiel continues from that, "They will be told now that you have been told. Time is important, but neither Asmodeus and I wish for a race that propels any of you into something you are not yet ready for."

Afterwards, "No. This will not be a public affair." Is the answer to Moore.

"Asmodeus knows what I know - this is a matter we have cooperated on for a long time, so that the other does not hoard or use the seeds frivolously." Is the third answer.
