Seeker of Thrones 9-120
Chapter: 9
“Beware thou crawling thing! When the gods clash the sky is red with their lightnings. The hosts of Khamun-re and Astet come forth to do battle, and they smite each other with stars. Turn thou thy face backwards against their black heat, or thou wilt taste death.”
– Ritual warning of the priests of The Azure Palace
Mottom is stopping by for tea with a kind old dragon. she just forgot how to park her floating city properly.
Well shit
Well…. that can’t be good.
Now this takes “Breaking and entering” to a whole new level
knock knock
Mammon: That’s 1 falling cityscape, ah ah ahh.
Weak Mother might be the one to stirr the whole shit again, duh.
Shit is 100% percent going down
Is Mottom coming for the (supposed) Heir or for Allison? Either way, Mammon and #1 should have reduced their exposure by telling everyone they sold the Heir. This sort of thing makes me think that the prophecy of the Heir is not about a supremely powerful being who strikes down the seven Lords, but about an agent of chaos who simply causes them to fight themselves to their own destruction.
That’s how Incubus wants it to play out, but I suspect that old man Zoss has a few tricks left up his sleeve.
The eternal Recurrence of Throne
huh
Ah, Mottom. How have you been?
And who is this guest you bring with you? It must be none other than Death. A lovely name, to be sure.
This is the fault of believing any Tower built is impenetrable.
There is always something stronger.
Granted one is forgiven for assuming one wouldn’t throw a floating city at one.
Mottom (that’s the name of the woman whose tree got blown up?) is here, and all hell is going to break loose.
WAR. what is it good for?
making a bucket of money, Mammon.
The hag against the dragon, my money is on the geezer.
Iä, a Giant Floating Castle and a Queen for the Vault!
Mottom’s shit is going to hit Mammon’s Fan
Whatever this is, no doubt it has a sufficiently exposed vulnerability placed somewhere with difficult but just this side of ‘possible’ access by, say, a plucky if currently unconscious heroine, which would destroy it in one climatic and also possibly cineastic explosion.
Ahahahahahaha
Mottom is PISSED
Attacking with Shock and Awe. I am extremely curious as to what the response will be.
I am reminded of a certain piece of entertainment I saw once on earth. Quite terrible really, but it certainly gave me pause to take in the enjoyment of the destruction that was to later occur.
Well, to be fair, the plot was kinda stalling
Okay. Even knowing about the awesome cosmic powers and whatnot, I still find it impressive that Mottom got the palace inside the bank. I mean, it’s big inside, but it can’t have been big enough from the outside to fit conveniently.
And so, the War begins.
