3 Calibration

Entering Heaven

by Fengrao

So we met up with Kai, Mishal and Thrudd in the foyer of heaven at dawn on the third day of calibration. I was so glad to see Kai in person, it felt really good to hug her.
 
We didn't know what to expect but we decided to go into heaven and look around. When we entered, we were met with a huge festival, lots of food, lots of stalls with games, even hawkers selling their wares. The hawkers were asking for something called quintessence for payment, which we didn't have so we couldn't buy anything. But the food was free and it was plentiful! Thrudd ate a lot.
 
I was watching Mishal dance with a large woman in blue when a large woman in yellow came up to me and introduced herself as Mercury. So this was the Mercury that Storm was asked by to keep tabs on us. She seemed nice. I then went over to watch the sparring match between Galit and someone named Thorn. They were both very skilled at fighting and put up a good match. Kai said she ran into the ninja, who was as it turns out a girl! She said she would keep on trying to kill us as she had been bidden by her masters, but wouldn't reveal who those masters were. Thrudd also talked with the deathknight priest who tried to kill him, and the priest offered him a job. Thrudd declined but said he would keep it in mind.
 
Then we heard a loud gong and the pleasure dome opened, and who should walk out but the unconquered sun, lunar, and our wonderful mother Gaia! Galit stopped fighting, and we made our way over to mother. We talked with Mother for a little bit, but she seemed pretty out of it (probably on account of her dying and all). It was so good to see her, I have missed her greatly. I will be inconsolable when she is truly dead. Mishal used their sun powers to get the attention of the unconquered sun, and the unconquered sun then angrily called a God named Lytek to him, asking what had happened to the solar. Lytek told him that they had been hijacked. The unconquered sun asked him to work it out and Lytek said he would try. Then the unconquered sun angrily went back to the pleasure dome.
 
The five goddesses asked us to come witrh them to somewhere more secluded so we could talk. Despite the danger of leaving the safe area of heaven, we agreed to go with them. They led us onto an airship and asked us questions about who we are, and where we came from. Then Heavens mentioned he had talked with Storm about the deathknights, but Storm had rushed off and he didn't know where to. Jupiter said "he is at the loom" and all five of the goddesses blinked away in a westerly direction. The airship plummeted to the ground with all of us still in it! Luckily Heavens created a whirlwind that gently set us into the ground instead of us being smashed to pieces. I'm thankful for him! Then a dragon came up and gave Heavens a ticket for using the whirlwind, and a ticket for talking back to the dragon. Heavens played off the fine with what looked like ivory, I wonder where he got that!
 
We walked back to the festival, where we saw the ninja now returned to the festival area covered head to toe in blood and gore. Then there was a loud klaxon where the war gods all went speeding off towards the loom, and we heard that there has been a critical failure on creation. I don't like the sound of that. We have to go back to creation, we can't stay in heaven. But I dont like what we may be walking into. We have to destroy those deathknights for what they have done to mother. Vengeance will be mine.
