» every broken promise

A sound, not unlike the groaning of ice, rumbles softly from the bank of the Scint. A stone, unnoticed and unremarkable begins to lightly shake, as if its very atoms have begun to vibrate a great deal more than they are meant to. And indeed they are, for something metaphysically impossible is occurring within the rock; something forbidden by physics. But the natural laws have not been around forever, and as Kaos well knows, there are forces far older than them which still linger near the folds of the universe. The sound comes again and light begins to pour through the stone. It begins strong and glows with a warm light that is reminiscent of candles on a fur tree. But quickly the light begins to warp and fade. Instead of shining through as light tends to do, it begins to fall as if made of water (or in this case, something far thicker and more viscous). Now it is like a mucus, pungent and horrible. It sludges down the rock, cracking it apart and then splashing into the river soundlessly. A noise comes from inside the rock now, like the stifling of a (scream) yawn. And, just as her father had so many times before, the daughter of the earth seemed to birth herself from inside of the granite sphere. There stands Isopia, carved out of the earth. Her hooves are still melded into the ground as if her maker has set her down without quite finishing. Her long russet tail too dissolves not into individual strands, but into ferns and grasses and other plant-life that lines the river Scint. Unlike Ampere or Tae's spirits, Isopia appears to be more or less as she was when alive. Her golden eyes are calm and observant, her expression neutral. Though there were many to whom she owed a look, a smile, a word, for now Isopia turns her death-marked skull towards Kaos. "You should not have done this." She advises simply, her tone matching perfectly the academic (and often condescending) lilt it had possessed when she was alive. "I am past your control now." She breaks eye contact for a moment to look at Ampere, galloping towards Zero, with an expression that one might be tempted to label as 'sad', or 'disappointed'. And then to Tae, screaming for her lost twin. "We are beyound your control." Isopia concludes, looking back with decisive patience. Isopia Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
