LU 167 - Space 33

I went over to participate in the big meeting today, and I ran into some of the members along the way. We went up into Illios' place and ran into her talking with Luca and Edelle; it was a shock to see Edelle up, but a pleasant one. After some introductions, we began to talk about how we'd defeat the trees.

We landed on the plan to send in Nat then just fight them head-on, and actually set out to act on this. We went to Notion first, who seemed well aware of why we were there. A fight broke out, and I fought for the first time in 500 years.

It felt... incredible.

I couldn't stop myself from chasing after Notion and endlessly slashing at him. I even killed him, which felt even better than before; now I can say I've thrown hands with *two* godlike beings.

Instead of taking a break, the group decided to go for another tree: Insight. I wasn't too familiar with this one, but Mira clearly was. Insight asked Mira if she was ready to play a game she set up, and Mira began to panic. It was obvious the two had a friendship of some form, but I watched as it deteriorated when Insight brought up what we did to Notion.

The rest of us ran over to block Mira from Insight since tensions were rising, and I began to smack talk her. Mira tried to stop me, but I was on a rush after Notion.

Insight apparently felt betrayed by Mira for bringing us here, and took her anger out on us. Another fight broke out, but this time I was a bit too tired to fight as vigorously. Mira ended up dealing the final blow, which did nothing good for her emotional state.

Mira broke down in tears, and I backed off because I didn't have the capacity to help her.

Once her drama show was over and calmed down, we all went back to the castle to rest and regain out strength; apparently Luca lost his arm in the fight, so we needed a break. I faced my painful nostalgia yet again, and listened to Edelle and Nat have a chat about Fallen. We also stopped by the war discussion room and the court room, which I was put off by seeing it in ruin.

We all split off and I asked Illios if I could renovate the castle. She told me no, and I began to rant about how unfair it is that the castle gets to rest and we can't. She offered to help me, but her help involved taking away my immortality; I wasn't ready to die yet, despite how depressed I was.

I shot down her help, and she walked off to find the others after telling me that my suffering is my own choice; I know that my suffering is painful, but consistently gaining power overrides that feeling.

I found Edelle and Nat in the church, and we began to reminisce about old times; namely, Ajan. Jeremy joined us, which confused the hell out of me. Apparently the kid is somehow Una's kid, and has been alive this entire time.

We all reflected on way back when for a bit, then split off to get some rest. Y'know, its times like these where I really wish I could *feel* something; heh, I suppose power comes at a price. I made my way back to Spawn, and passed out in my office.

If killing the guardians is as easy as walking in and beating the crap out of them, I'm not sure why we didn't start doing this months ago; this is gonna be way easier than I thought, if we can kill two trees in a day. Once this is done, I need to to find a way around Frezz joining Vice and I in our throne. I can't let him have 20% of my power for too long.
