The Mages: Oracle

The Mages: Oracle is an ongoing lore story written by Jester. It is the first installment in The Mages and is considered a spin-off of the much larger Lore of the Worlds.
Oracle is one of the only entries in The Mages which is written more as a quasi-anthology as evidenced by its repeated use of jumping in-between unrelated stories; some stories are resolved in other unrelated works, such as the Dragon Egg storyline concluding with Exodus: Origins.
==Synopsis==
The slow fracturing of the Mages after the Table of Time's recently ominous Oracle predicted that one of them would betray the rest.
== Plot summary ==
===Ankhor's Dormancy===
In the year 10,000 BCE, the Mages Drasilia and Ankhor are at their home in Yggdrasil when Ankhor rushes home after the end of the Ice Age. She is cared for by Drasilia and later explains that maintaining life on the planet through the harsh cold had drained her considerably. She then goes to say that she needs to enter Dormancy -- a deep sleep to physically and mentally recharge. Ankhor makes her way to Thera and becomes Dormant.
===The Oracle===
Years later in 712, many members of the Mages are summoned to their headquarters at the Methuselah Star for a meeting. Methuselah had brought them there because he noticed an especially alarming Oracle from the Table of Time. The Table said that there would be a traitor from within the Mages and that they would almost lose someone they love in conquest.
This message unsettled many of the Mages, Atori especially feeling worried.
===Maylin finds the Gem===
Meanwhile in the Otakou Kingdom and due to a recent flood, Hiro Ormera spoke at a mass funeral for the victims. Retuning home, a small gem was thrown into his living room; it turned out to be the Kaethan Gem, a very important and sought-after artifact. Minutes later, Maylin arrives in Ormera's home looking for the Gem. After finding it, she explains its power and her disliking for its namesake, Kaethan. She then leaves Ormera's home, apologizing for the damage to it that she had done.
===Kaethan and the Egg===
Some time later in the End, Kaethan, concerned about the health of her egg, calls for Cecil to get Erebus. Doing so, Erebus attempted to inspect the Dragon Egg more closely, accidentally touching it and it teleporting to the Otakou Kingdom.
After it was found in a well, the Egg was then teleported into Ormera's living room. Seeing it, he decided that it was precious and would keep it safe.
===Battle of the Methuselah Star===
Years later in 724, a few Mages visit Methuselah in his Star for more information on the Oracle. Drasilia in particular asked if the Table knew anything about both the identity of the traitor, but also a special request to find out what will happen to Ankhor. In response to the former, methuselah states that he knows too much of the future already; to the latter, he finds an unclear vision before Drasilia finishes the question. The vision showing wreckage on a beach with a green-topped mountain.
Drasilia breathed a sigh of relief when told that Ankhor would be all right and to not worry. At that moment, a large crashing sound could be heard from the main entrance to the Star.
