Harvest Sun Sato 28th, 749 ODS
Months had passed since Helena's attack on Nova with a massive army of undead; her efforts at -cleansing- barely noticeable now with the flora flourishing all over Teair-the Harvest Sun season healing the damage her siege had caused. Even the dead were a faint memory among the mortals. And yet...
"Yet after all this…they dared to still celebrate and whisper her name. The name of my damn sister. After all that I've done... THEY CHOOSE TO CELEBRATE MY SISTER'S HOLIDAY?! How easily they forget their past mistakes…" Helena snarled as she focused towards the north; where the sky had begun to grow dark over Morgg Mountain.
“ Come; There is much to do.” Helena spoke, turning to face 8 of her most favored followers, dubbed the ‘Eyes of Hel’; A title of respect and ranking among her mortal peers who wished to serve and be blessed by her-those who cared little for the fated and shared their goddess’s pain for her loss in the cleansing of Nova from Fate’s foul stench.
The Eyes of Hel nodded in response, knowing better than to open their mouths and speak to the angered goddess. They followed Helena in silence as she lead them out of the forest and into a clearing towards Morgg Mountain, the ground bare and sprinkled with soot and ash as the castle came into view.
Helena, cloaked in a dark robe-tattered and filthy, stained with layers of dried blood-made her way up to Morgg Castle, gray ash falling all around the procession as they walked, her black, soulless eyes gazing out at the castle she had grown to call home within the mortal realm of Teair.
She climbed the steps to Morgg Castle, fueled by anger, each step a reminder of her defeat; that blond man’s face etched into her thoughts amongst all the rest she had beheld during the siege. The memory caused her to curl her lips over her teeth as she finally approached the black metal doors of Morgg. “ Open the doors!” Helena barked, her voice booming against the vaulted surface, jolting her followers to action, and two rushed over to turn the metal gears that would fulfill their mistress' commands.
She directed her attention to the sky over Morgg Mountain-blacked out by heavy clouds full of ash. “ How many have we opened so far? “ Helena asked, returning her attention to the direction of her footsteps. Her followers hung close behind their goddess, as the metal doors shuddered to a close behind the procession. “ Only one of the seals has been opened , Lady of Souls. The others are hard at work trying to figure out how to open the other seals as we speak.“ A Eye of Hel confirmed. " Good... Let us prepare to watch the world burn."
