the Rift

The matron couldn't help but feel Kisamoa staring daggers at her, yet what could she do about it? She had known, in the way of old, wise creatures, that something slumbered within the Protector's pillar, but she hadn't known what, exactly.

And besides, her world needed help. The ever-shifting deity of Kaos was about as structured and consistent as his own physical shape, and despite his obvious goal of restoring and healing the Rift, he went about it in mysterious, often counter-productive, ways. He was young, and he was volatile, and he was learning, but it was too slow.

Sometimes, you have to gamble, and as she laid her eyes upon the magnificent deer stepping out of the blue light, she felt it had been worth risking Kisamoa's wrath.

Aside from his piercing gaze and the highly uncomfortable waves of aggression he was sending out, she figured he was behaving himself remarkably well.

Hope did as deities do, disappearing into that in-between she knew sometimes housed Kisamoa—but he remained, still vexed, but seemingly too stubborn to follow Hope. The matron smiled, a kindly smile, touching her trunk to one of the Pavo cats sitting by her old feet.

"Things will be alright," she murmured to the creature. "They have to be."

And so it was that Hope's party went on, as Kisamoa had willed it, with music and dancing and laughing and talking, until all the creatures and horses of the Rift had exhausted themselves, and the sun was starting to lighten up the horizon.
