Who: Everyone
Where: In the Sacred City
When: King’s Year 199, Mid Winter
What:

[It had been a slow start through the fall. Nations full of people needing to settle and find shelter. And many despaired... how could such an enormous project be completed by the end of a mere two seasons when most were still milling about supplies and accommodations?

But as they do, gears shifted as the temperatures rose... as night became a nostalgic memory... Natural ingenuity blended with mad genius with simple practicality and by early winter, the great keystone... a project of masonry that had taken nearly as much time as the construction of the great stone walls themselves was complete and secured into place for the rest of the walls to be completed around it.

Construction had slowed ... even with ants to carve and carry, even with machinery of steam and clockwork and nearly a quarter of the world in labor.... the hours that COULD be worked became less and less... and working became less of a normal function and one of devotion, heroism and madness.

But today.... the last blocks had been placed, the keystone was in place and ready... Since last night the world has been thrown into blessed darkness. The air is uncomfortably warm, but no longer scalds to breathe, and the light comes from torches and magic.

Today, many people have gathered below the keystone, eyes turned upward.

Today, the supports are removed.]

[I am sure going up again, whispering apologies to King and Foreman and any others she can think of. She knows this might not be the best choice, but she can't stand by while someone burns himself out—] If you need to send more power, send what you can through me.

[provided she doesn't BURN UP or something equally horrible, she's going to rush to the Oracle's side to check on his status]

[With the whispered prayer, as Ceres touches the aging man's shoulder, a jolt of electricity run through her arm. It races through her nerves and through her blood vessels, courses across her skin. The feeling of presence is far, as if muffled by her own self defenses, almost as if it is galaxies away, but still... so unimaginable in scope. There is for that moment, fleeting as it is, an exhilarating pull of true power. Real power. That the world is mutable to your whim, will obey your will. You feel the beat of the Old Woman and her rage, and the formation of layers and layers of stone, of SKY above.

To Mikiya's eyes, it merely seems like the light swallows her too... Her form takes on the burden of years, she seems to grow, gaining the inches of adulthood and further into her years...

But the Oracle's mad progression through time slows as well to such a pace.]
