Some may have "heard" a song always playing in the background of these events as a rallying cry to inspire everyone to remain stalwart in their beliefs and efforts in this battle, and beyond...

I figured you would like that. Darkness is also adding to her figure collection...added this one recently. She is beautiful.

The commanding voice replied, "Said with such conviction. I suppose we will have to see if that belief can stand the test of eternity."
The chorus of whispers echoed once again, "Children of extremes...inherent in the gift...there is no line between reality...and delusion...how do we know?"
The commanding voice resumed, "It is a constant battle against your own nature, to achieve your belief. How will you even know if you have achieved this balance you believe in?"

The shifting whispers echoed a chorus in her mind as as the voice spoke, "Awareness...choice...gifts...bearing both joyous wonder...and painful burden..."
The whispers stopped as the more commanding voice reverberated, "What do you chose to believe?"

Decia drew closer and could make out more details, such as the horns and eyes of the taller of the pair glowed with purple energy with occasional flickers of gold, and had a large pommel over her right shoulder that Decia assumed to be part of a large sword sheathed on her back. Decia could sense the majesty of one that commanded power and respect. While the other's horns and eyes constantly shifted and swirled with sapphire and golden energy in random patterns and intervals and seemingly bore no weapon, though Decia's instincts told her differently, as if she could sense a sad, yet exalted dream of promised victory that all warriors might share.
Decia could hear melodic, chaotic whispers in her mind and the shorter of the pair spoke in an equally melodic voice, "You have followed the calling in your heart, just as you always have..."
The whispers faded as the taller of the pair spoke in a smooth and regal melodic tone, "and you have found this temple and us...perhaps not what you were expecting?"

It was at that moment when Decia looked up to the other side of the valley and saw them, a pair of Avynei. One stood slight taller than the other wearing polished, fitted black armor with purple energy runes and a flowing black cloak with purple trim. The other wore a flowing sapphire gown, with glowing golden embroidery and armored pieces with a matching cloak. While Decia was still staring ahead at the pair, she heard soft, musical whispers near here, "Welcome."

Not surprised, he has been floating the idea out there for awhile now. He is actually a fan. Star Trek movies have been a mixed bag of utterly awful to kinda good. He is a quality, albeit eccentric, director and producer. So why not?
The Nerdist has good interview podcasts and coverage.

As she embraced the pain and grief she felt something else at the edge of her inner perceptions. A feeling she could not initially place or describe, yet it felt familiar, intimate even. That is when she heard it, the music.
The song took her back to the Avynei Temple and her wondrous experience there. She did not know what to expect when she entered the Temple, but left in awe. It was not a room as she expected but natural landscape with beautiful crystalline structures carefully blended in to be a part of it. The land was of rolling hills, somewhat arid with a cool, fresh breeze. Sounds of laughter of children playing and joyous conversations from Avynei of all varieties as they about daily domestic activities. Decia immediately felt she was in a home and hearth...and she was welcomed. She noticed Shantal had moved from her side and looked so natural interacting with various Avynei as if she was one of them. It was in the midst of this warm feeling, Decia first heard the music and how it both calmed her...and called to her.
Excitedly she looked back at Shantal, who simple looked back with a smile and nod. Decia smiled as she turned and started to try to follow the music through the country side. She took in all the sights and experiences of the many Avynei she encountered in all the activities they did. She even stopped her search for a time as she interacted with Avynei preparing meals, trying to help with the cooking and shared in the meal afterwards.
Eventually Decia's felt she was getting closer as climbed to the top of a hill and looked at the valley below. There she saw Avynei in armor with a variety of melee weapons sparing and practicing, both individually and as units. She looked upon the scene with a smile and undid her ponytail letting her hair flow with the breeze. She knew she was getting close and that is when recognition dawned on her, the feeling she was connecting to...the music...It made sense to her now. It is what she embraced all her life, in every prayer, in every battle, in every moment...
Hope.

At first they were summons and rather messy...
Now it is more "pact" and more effective...
Cookies...-eyes them suspiciously- What kind of cookies? You know I cannot consume wheat, rye or barley in any form, yes?
...and what is this sacrifice? -looks interested-
And Hann, I believe I have the distinction as "most reviled" in my years of service, though my reputation has taken a turn for the worse and I seem to be far more tolerated these days. It does not change the fact I am appreciated for what I bring, even if it not said very often. So I continue to come and inflict boring to downright terrible events upon our community so they have to work extra hard to make something of it all. It is and art form in itself. So if they can appreciate me and all the evil I bring, I am certain you get a pass too.
P.S. I still think they only come for Kitty and they hold out for the hope that, after years, they will finally get a cool event from me, for once...

Darkness heard it is a great idea to take a six month hiatus!
-perks up with rare excitement and starts packing-
