Hymn of Ascension Unedited Excerpt
She drifts in a place of warmth and light. She hears her sisters’ laughter around her. She steps into a glowing room and her two sisters turn in her direction. Their faces are blurred but their hair shimmers. One copper and one silver.
She goes to speak and the world around her trembles. Crimson and black vein-like cracks form in the white walls. The coldness of the Empty seeps in from the outside.
Her copper haired sister raises her face to the ceiling. “It is coming.”
“Other worlds have been destroyed by the battle,” the silver haired one says. “If they reach Threshold all the others will fall.”
“We have to do something,” she says.
“What can we do from here?” the copper haired sister says.
“Not enough.” The Silver haired one bows her head.
“Then we fall,” she says. “We fall to a place we can do something. Our followers are dying. If we do nothing, what good are we?”
“If we fall, we won’t be the same,” her copper haired sister says. “We will lose so much.”
“That doesn’t mean we can’t regain it, or more,” she says.
Her silver haired sisters looks at the cracks. “And if we stay here, we may be doomed.”
“Have you seen as much?” her copper haired sister crosses her arms. “Because I haven’t. Nothing has breached these walls, ever.”
“Until now,” her silver haired sister says. “You know I haven’t seen anything. We can never see past the Shadow.”
“It blocks us at every turn,” she says. “We have to fall. Are you with me?”
