ALL NOVEL Final Voyage: What to come
Mercury, Sol System.
Shemiss Aluqdim watches Mard Awalan closely as she walks around the surface of the closest planet to the Sun. The tall being draped in a pure white robe with a golden slit in reality that judges all. The Mother of Life takes the shape of a little girl wearing clothes made of slime and vines, and protruding out from her head are antlers, stubby little antlers.
"Nn.", she picked up a rock with a frown, "Mm..."
"Life on this place had gone long ago, this is all that is left.", they spoke to The Plague Garden, the voices were spoken in different tones, some in jest, some like historians, some bearing a hint of sorrow.
"Mn?", she tilted her head, looking at The Pale Court.
"Alios is currently Slumbering, so we cannot make the decision for this child.", Shemiss Aluqdim kneels down and touches the ashy metallic soil of Mercury, "All four of them chose to host Life on their body."
"Alios was benevolent, wishing nothing but prosperity for those they held on their celestial form, and in doing so when the final life was extinguished, they fell into Slumber."
"Neferima was cheerful yet malicious, pain and suffering were what they sought, and in the ruins of destruction, they laughed."
"Ingenlium was harsh yet caring, they did nothing but watch as their ocean boiled away and their aquatic civilization died one by one, and they clapped, to congratulate existence."
Then they turned to Earth, the Blue Marble far in the distance, and Mard Awalan followed that gaze.
"Tiamat seeks only entertainment, even with their fractured mind, creating a perfect cycle of cruelty that never ends, fight or die, that was the options they gave. So when they Slumber, all they did was smile."
"Mm.", Mard Awalan frowned.
"Yes, just as you say.", Shemiss Aluqdim pats her head, which made her smile.
"The two Egos of the Third Planet hate each other, so one must submit to the other to win their little game. But we are afraid Theia is desperate, so they hoped for mutual destruction, and in order to do so.", they kneeled down to Ward Awalan's level, "They wanted The Original One to destroy everything, and some other trickery fitting of the Other Ego of Earth."
"Nm?", she titled her head.
"Just as you say.", the slit pulses, signifying agreement.
"Nn!", she excitedly nodded with a bright smile, "Nm?"
"We only need the presence of one, Mother of Life.", they stood up as their gaze peered far away, "Even if that is against the wishes of that child, collateral is something we wish to avoid."
Mard Awalan hopped away, leaving behind trails of slimes. And she transformed into her true form - a mass of slime in the form of a primordial beast towering over a kilometer in height, their body a factory of decay and birth, all happening at the same time.
Then they shrunk back down, reforming into a woman bearing the overwhelming aura of comfort and death. In a hood made of moss and vines, great antlers with vines and vegetation on them, she bears it proudly like a crown, dripping slimes as she raises her soft hands, her golden eyes carry an air of warmth, and her smile was overwhelmingly lovely.
"My... Child...", she spoke in a soft yet clear tone, like a mother comforting a child, "Of... Light..."
She touched her chest, which began to glow yellow.
"I... Call upon... the...e...", then she brought her hands to the sky, "Protect life... protect existence... my brave... Child... send me... your... com...passion...nate... one... bru...tal... yet kind..."
And the light on her hands dissipates.
"Thank you, Mard Awalan.", they patted the woman's head, their voices full of cheeriness as well as playfulness.
Which made her pout and turned away, "Nm!!"
"We are all Eldritch Gods of Order, after all. We all use each other for our own purposes.", they spoke, "All will be well."
"Nm... Mn?", Mard Awalan asked.
"What is the danger we spoke of?", the voices spoke in playful and cryptic tones, "It is a child of Theia long ago, the so-called Avatar of Destruction. Just like the Avatar of Nature, Shar, is Tiamat's child."
"Nm...?", she continues to ask.
"Where is it? Although it was awakened earlier than expected, the Corpse of the Enlightened Human stopped its rampage, and a follower of that Enlightened Human tamed it and went for a journey to the next neighboring empire, to retrieve his teachings.", The Pale Court spoke, telling a story full of nostalgia and wonder, "And in the end, the Avatar of Destruction chose to seal itself."
"What... i-is... it...s... na-me?", The Plague Garden vocalized her question.
"The Primate of Emptiness, Sun Wukong."

"The world is going off balance, the scale of chaos and order had once again tipped."
"Indeed, it is our duty to maintain the balance of all."
"Even if it causes our expulsion?"
"But we will not be banished from our faction."
"We are Eldritch Gods of Order, after all."
"We are all control freaks, masterminds with grand plans of our own."
"Using each other and conflict is the norm."
"And all past Sins can be repaid, that is how we scheme."
In the cold tundra of Siberia, two beings stare at each other. One is a woman with bright blue hair, as if it is on fire, wearing a pure white robe. And the other is a white angel over 3 meters tall, bearing a pair of dove wings, and a golden cage for a head that contains a blue flame.
They are Lughz Dustur the Enigma Code, both of them. This is one of their exploits in the system of the universe itself.
"The Prison of Ice has been pierced, all timelines are pruned."
"The Ego was put to slumber."
"The perfect time for us to act."
Then their fingers touched, and the white angel turned into blue dust with a tinge of gold, merging with the human.
Now, The Engima Code has three hundred percent of its full power.
"I call upon you, my Children of ether and wind, those who bear feathers of purity and cleanse.", they spread their arms, their voice was calming and serene and took hold of all, "Come, for I need you to return this Slumbering World to Equilibrium."
A ball of blue and gold flame forms, and from it emerges a blue crown decorated with golden eyes, twitching around independently from each other. Then they began to speak in an unknown language, calling upon their Angels.
From the ground grew a giant tree with golden eyeballs hanging off the branches. A wheel of fire with an eye in the center rolls around The Engima Code in the sky. A giant armored knight with a pair of bluish-white wings carrying a spear landed behind them, then followed by a dozen more angel knights.
The snowy land of Siberia was filled with angels, all children of The Enigma Code, in a brief moment.
"My Children of Ether and Wind, build your kingdom here and bring Order through your Judgement, to revive the Equilibrium of this World."
A white and gold feather appeared in their hand, and they smiled.

Outback of Australia.
A white feathered raptor perked up, letting go of the stick it was holding. With a chirp, it called upon a white Allosaurus who rose behind it from the grass.
Then the Allosaurus roared, rumbling the entire region.
Both of their eyes glow a golden light, as they hear the command from their Lord and Light.
Akeldama, Jerusalem, Israel.
Iscariot was praying on the field with both her hands clasped together, her mechanical eyes closed in deep contemplation. Judas stood in the shade and out of view, even if both of them were invisible to the naked eye.
Then both of them turned to the sky, and Iscariot smiled.
Then with zeal, the Sinner half of the Saint of Betrayal began to speak, "By your will, my Lord and Light. We shall fulfill your mission on this World we call Home, my blade and mace shall decimate them all."
Berlin, Germany.
Dolfy was streaming on her PC, talking and chatting with those she calls her "Compatriots", while Alfonso was quietly painting on the balcony, taking in the view of the city that suffered because of his actions.
Then both of them froze and closed their eyes.
Alfonso put down his brush and head inside. Dolfy abruptly ended her stream, turning to her counterpart with a wide and wicked grin.
"Come on now, it is time to take over Germany again.", her eyes glow a golden light as a hat manifest for her to put on.
But she did not go outside, instead, she sat down on her chair and began to stream again, "But this time... more subtle."
The stream turn back on, "Guten tag! meine Landsleute!"
Washington DC, U.S.A.
A woman with white hair walked past the White House, wearing a black business suit and sunglasses, she was tall and carried an imposing aura with her.
Then she took a turn, where a thin man in a brown trench coat with white hair stood, his expression always grumpy even hidden behind a pair of glasses.
"The Lord and Light require our action, to preserve the World.", he whispered to her.
"Heh, from destroyer to protector, what an irony.", she sneered and walked away.
He sighed and walked in the opposite direction, his gaze lingering on the White House for a moment. He continues, thinking about a last meal before the job.
However, he ran into someone he did not expect. A woman shorter than him bearing crimson red eyes and long blonde hair, wearing a casual red shirt and white crop jacket. Her eyes widen in recognition.
"Andrew?"
Kyiv, Ukraine.
A lady with brunette color hair sipped her cup of tea, looking at the gentleman in a gaudy red blazer and green vest with silver hair.
Both of their eyes glow a golden color.
"So it is time to burn our enemy to the ground again.", the gentleman said as she smiled, reminiscing about the past.
"But for something like this, burning them alive is preferable for those insects, we still have our oath to the Lord and Light.", the lady chuckles as she takes another sip.
Karakorum, the moving capital of the Mongol Empire, China.
There were two people in Mongolian armor made of leather and iron standing atop a watchtower. The hulking muscle mass of a man crossed his arms with a smile, together with the woman who gleefully watched the destruction.
Their eyes lit up in golden light, as they quietly accepted their mission.
And even more Juries of the Pale Court born and nurtured by Earth, even those not on the planet and instead reside in the Garden, all of them utter the same words.
"For the Pale Court of Order and Judgement, for our Lord and Light, the Father who watches over us all, the Mother who granted us Life, nothing shall escape our Judgement."

Charlotte approached her Silver Knight, who was kneeling down and unmoving - his body overheated and malfunctioned, he had used his all, for his Princess.
A staircase made of Justice Mist formed for her to walk up, facing Utopia eye to eye. His knight visor flickered, despite being damaged, he wanted to see Charlotte.
"[Y-Yo-Your Hi-ghness...]", he tries to speak.
"That's enough, my loyal knight.", she showed him a genuine smile, "You have served me well, and for that, you deserve some rest."
With gentle care, she placed her right hand on his head. And she did not use her Domination, letting his body scorch her hand. But Charlotte did not mind at all, with a smile she pat his head for a job well done.
"We will return to operation after a week.", she stepped down and sat beneath him.
"So you don't need to do anything, Utopia - my most loyal subject.", her voice trailed off into a whisper, "...my kindred..."
Charlotte stops before she speaks another word, then giggles to herself.
She closed her eyes, and her halo faded away.
