Elsewhere – A place terribly close to the Sky

For the Modding Mage

There is a song of death upon the wind and a hungry vigor about its movement. The Scattering asserts itself in the bitter touch of the air, a touch ready to seize whatever life no longer has strength to breath. The air of this place is filled with the bitterness of the Scattering for the ending of life is at hand and life that is lost within the Scattering is life that is for ever lost within the vastness of Sky, torn to pieces and scattered beyond all hope of return. Not the Mage who has strangely been permitted to view this battle, nor all of his Modding Magic, nor that Shar who undergirds his power, nor any outsider god, nor Ziroc, nor Choc can recover that which is lost to the Scattering, for the Scattering is not a thing of IronWorks, nor is this place within the land of the Lord of the Forums game.* Silent and vast the Sky stretches over this place, terribly close and touching all with the heavy silence out of which the Scattering emerges and within which it moves.

Silent too is the flight of an owl, and once it was for some that the close silence of such a bird was a thing heavy, oppressive and bitter, for the nearness of an owl bespoke the coming of death. Once more the owl whose name is Whisper in the rude tongue of the outsiders flies close to the presence and lands on the stones beside him. And even as the gaze of the presence is fixed upon the mighty hand of a gasping giant and the great sword it holds, the gazing of the owl is fixed upon the presence.

* What takes place here is part of the LOF only in the sense that Terrakis, the Modding Mage and the Windbringer have all been involved in that game, but the events are taking place within the gameworld of the Windbringer, which is NOT IronWorks. The strange decision on the part of the gods of the Sky People to allow the Mage to remain is why the tale of this battle can be recorded here. Any who die in this place, including the Windbringer or this avatar of the Mage should he interfere or involve himself in any way, will be forever lost to IronWorks.
