Regarding Hastet’s transformation into a tree: previously we saw Nadia deliberately turn the ambassador into a tree. Should we not therefore take her statement two pages back about her husband’s corpse that ‘I didn’t expect him to sprout’ with a grain of salt? Did she have a hand in it or not? Or is her power to treefy her enemies granted to her by her treehusband? A knotty question.
It’s the Red-White Art. The Red Art focuses on changing the physical world around a practitioner, the White Art the practitioner himself. The Red-White Art, however, allows one to alter the self-perception of others. However, in each example of the Art, it requires that the practitioner first refine their will then to speak out loud their intentions, and that they speak in the correct manner. It is unknown to me whether or not someone may unintentionally alter the world around them with the Art without even speaking, but if it is possible, I imagine only someone unimaginably powerful would be capable of such an act. Certainly not a frightened queenling afraid of the husband she has only finished burying away.
While Queen is more accurately gendered it has, traditionally within the English language, implied subservience to the King. I’m ASSUMING that the whole multiverse doesn’t speak bloody English here, of course.
So when we speak of Kings we speak not specifically of a male monarch. We’re speaking of a platonic concept of royalty. Of mastery. Of taking the world with both hands and forcing it into line, rather than “peasant”–accepting the world as it is.
From Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
First person: “Who’s that?”
Second person: “Must be a King.”
First person: “Why?”
Second person: “He doesn’t have shit all over him.”
Oh dear. She is doing the shiny head thing. She shines with the light of ROYALTY. Her WILL shall turn the universe about her. THE FIRE OF HER GLORY SHALL BURN AWAY THE PUPPET KINGS AND SCATTER THE ASHTOTHEFOURWINDSALLWILLBEMADETOREFLECTTHELIGHTTHATISKILLSIXBILLIONDEMONS
So ever after both giving away his Key (love the hole in his forehead to emphasize that), and losing his head, Zoss can still appear to his successor… serious badass there.
FROM POISONED ROOTS SPRING ROTTEN FRUIT. FROM SUFFERING, SUFFERING. FROM FEAR, FEAR. ROTTEN TO THE CORE, ALL OF IT.
THIS GREAT MATRIARCH HAS ARROGATED ALL LIGHT AND WEALTH TO HER BLOATED BOUGHS. ALL TO FEED THE SPREADING ROT. WHAT NEW SEED MIGHT HOPE TO GROW WHEN THE MOTHER WHO BORE ITS FRUIT CASTS HER SHADOW ACROSS A HUNDRED THOUSAND UNIVERSES?
CUT. JUST CUT. WIELD YOUR FUCKING NAME, DEAR ALLISON. AND SOON, WE WILL SEE THESE TANGLED GROVES BECOME VERY, VERY…
Somewhere out there in the multiplicity a mad god is writing ever weirder and more unpronounceable chapter names for Zoss to try and fit into his prep talks. Just to fuck with him.
Time for Alice-UN to realize her ROYALTY, master herself and ability, to master Fate, but now the question remains how will she shape Fate and the coming future? hopefully to break The Lords like Mottom and give us true rule once more, and cleanse the wicked with fire from Throne, I can hope can I?
Look to the Sky. This is the Shape of Kings, the blade to cut the sweet fabric of Reality as you Will it. Embrace the Flame, Eternal and Ancient, and destroy those before you. This is the path to Glory. Take it as your birthright, Heir.
Look to the sky! This is the Shape of Kings, the Blade with which you shall tear asunder the sweet fabric of Reality as you Will it. Look unto the Flame, Eternal and Ancient and embrace it. Burn all whom stand before you and Cleanse your birthright, Heir.
One wonders whether Zoss is really there, or if his Flame simply remains as a shade, bound to the King’s Key. If he really does maintain enough form for the rest of us to continue to perceive him, I have some choice questions I would ask him.

Oh my.
Why not “Queen”?

Zoss speaks about himself here. Alice-UN is Sovereign.
In the Language of Throne, the word for “King” is unisex.
True Royalty cares not for petty differencies of gender propagated by petty men.
Because king Alice-Un said so. are you going to argue with the king? Its your reincarnation.

In six postings her eyes have been five different colors. Now, none at all.
Yus!!! Alison!!! <3
It may please you to know this reads great to “Make Me Laugh” by Anthrax.
How is it that the chains of fate can be so fragile, yet bind the world with their might?
So ever after both giving away his Key (love the hole in his forehead to emphasize that), and losing his head, Zoss can still appear to his successor… serious badass there.
Nooooo! Don’t fall for the false dilemma!
Ach, damn, too late!
Yeah… she’s being corralled.

CLEAN.
The Imperatrix of Fire’s death will be the first crack between the new gods and will mark the beginning of Universal war.
The current purpose of Zoss is title drop. What a reconversion.
Somewhere out there in the multiplicity a mad god is writing ever weirder and more unpronounceable chapter names for Zoss to try and fit into his prep talks. Just to fuck with him.
Who’s this guy, again?
“You hit me… Iv’e been waiting for this pain. Hurt me more Sna- I mean Allison!”
My favorite parts of this are when Allison gets tired of everybody’s shit so this panel gets an A+ from me.
Before your throne
We tasted death
For promised stars in skies we longed
Yet stars don’t shine, where darkness reigns
May fiery hope deliver us
And my heart and my soul flee with the flames
Once we were kings
And the wind gently sings
Of the lives we have lost
But once we were kings
Perhaps the Wheel has not spun its last after all. We true followers of the Old Law look forward to what The Rising King might yet achieve.

Take shape and fly, fledgdling ruler. But remenber that fate is an envyous bitch.

Zoss is dead but is not for the nature of reality is paradox.
Zoss is as much alive as YISUN.
Resolve and action lead to consequence and reflection.
Fuck yeah, Allison!
