ROUTE 2: INTERMISSION 1 PART 1: AXIS AND RHUN, SISTER AND BROTHER MOON

Two moons nestled close together, mirror images of each other, as the music of the spheres allowed them to stay close in their divine connection.

On the surface of each sphere, a city, and in each city two towers reaching up towards the heavens, the conceptual space that divided the Animus from the dark realms of the Nightlands above.

In one of those crystalline towers, a construction created from the ancient power entailed in the process of the admina, a brother and sister held court.

(AXIS: Do you know of him? This man/monster/construct/deviancy?)

(Rhun: I have been aware/ignorant, just as you dear/beloved brother.)

(AXIS: He has taken one of mine... my arbiter/servant/lover.)

(Rhun: Unexpected but not unthinkable, did you not know that this was a viable fate when you sent him?)

(AXIS: I did not think so/fathom it. It… wounds/degrades me to feel this loss. I did not think such a thing could be possible/allowed. It's been a long reign of safety and order.)

(Rhun: Well then… You will do what you must brother. And I will abide by you decisions. Take comfort, once he reaches the Eternal battlefield/Endless war, surely he will experience his end/demise/absolution.)

(AXIS: That is what upsets/disturbs me. I do not want this troublemaker to break any of the things that belong to me.)

(Rhun: Brother… you are of the divine/administrators. Such banal worries are beneath you. These are ants beneath our feet, pawns to be played. Choose yours, however wisely, and the game will inevitable be won. We do not show concern for the lives of these creations/people. We manage their fates, keep the order of things intact, and we enjoy.)

(Rhun: Anyhow, I will keep a close watch on this one with my network of weavers.)

(AXIS: You are right as always sister... let the games begin.)
