Seeker of Thrones 10-124
“The God of the Deep has a heart like a great leaden weight. It drags him so low to the ground that the furrows of his passing become canyons. His servants are ten thousand and their faces will never gaze up on the sun. She Who Lights Up the Sky does not bless them. They are small and crawl around their God, and they make offerings at his feet and unto his graven image and the bones of his fathers. Their singing is said to be beautiful. They live upon their own fire and venerate the sorrows of their god. They guard the secret ways into the halls of YNAMON, called YRE by the uninitiated and lacerate their own flesh and fill the passages with their wailing.
Trespassers past the threshold of the holy land are punished with fire and blade.”
– Pre Narim Yiprik, Chronicle of the Seven
Did someone just use a portion of Mammon’s power to block all of Mottom’s?
Perhaps, though keep in mind that Mottom is also *perhaps* dying and *perhaps* not intending to kill this one before she got her information.
Another thought comes to me: Mammon’s power is Greed and the TOWER. This is the full power of Mammon against that of Mottom.
By buying the faith of others, wether by intention or not, Mammon’s mastery of his key exerts power through others. A TOWER needs not move. That’s what guardsmen are for.
See how 00001’s brow burns so alike her God?
Mammon’s schtick is parcelling out portions of his key, we’ve been told. If each could act with all the force of his copy, he would have needed but empower 7 people to conquer the multiverse (though a small army would be a safer bet)
Hmm… Gotta love a bad @$$ Battle Nun. Make it so, Number One!
Still wondering if Cio is gonna borrow some of Al’s power-key and kick things up a notch, or if she’ll just sneak out the back with her while the Gods are distracted with each other.
Heh. Just had another thought. I wonder if Allison will find some sort of inner enlightenment and strength during her present near-death experience. Almost dying does have a way of changing folks. Someone with infinite power at their fingertips might gain quite a bit of resolve, allowing her to wield her powers effectively (you may recall Zoss telling Al something about the power requiring a resolute wielder).
Hmm possibly just slowed her down. Its also possible 00001 has a rather large amount of mammon juice tucked into her skull. Also we dont know the new source of mottoms youth, is she more or less powerful, etc.
Someone’s about to get turned into a tree.
The worst travellers are those who wander without destination or purpose. They wear their shoes on treacherous soil and tear their clothes on brambles, they aggravate locals and often fall ill. In summation they make very poor time.
Better are the travellers with a destination and the purpose of reaching it. These are fleet of foot and wise of where to place them, but their acquaintance with the road is short and adversarial and so their passionate sprints lack art.
Travellers with no destination, and the purpose of reaching it, cover much ground. Steady shouldered and strong-legged. Dressed and packed for the road ahead, well learned of the land behind. Mindful of the secrets and dangers of the road, of the shortcuts that should be taken and the ones to be avoided at all costs. In the end they go farthest of all and overtake all others.
THIS IS A PEACEFUL LAND! ITS INHABITANTS KIND! …..BITCH!
So young and revitalized. Mayhaps Incubus has aided both women with their respective desires for power?

Only Nadia would be so idiotic as to think the Rising King belongs to her, or indeed to anyone. I doubted she would have learned anything from their last encounter, and I’m sad to be proven right.
Now, she will know ruin.
