    Atop the Lookout, Asha'rah meditated, keeping her senses outstretched and her soul still as she guarded Zurvan from above. Hakai energy flared from below where Ishtar stood beside her father. Not hostile or unsettled, but...powerful and loosening, as if long-sleeping muscles began to stretch. Come what may, Asha'rah wished Ishtar no ill. If she were had been nudged forth in ascension's direction, Asha'rah wanted nothing but the best for her.

    Come what may.

    Rutaba looked at Qaztoh with disgust. She discounted the space pirate, since there wasn't enough there to get righteously indignant about.

    The rest of it, however...

    "You need money, so you wanted to steal from little kids? Even if it's for a good cause, it's still wrong." It sounded like she got the picture, so she left it at that. "Get a job. That's what good, honest people do when they need money. Trying to take a shortcut is cowardly and not befitting of a person of a princess. If you want to help people, do it the right way or don't do it at all."

    The shift was sudden, jarring.

    One moment, Ishtar was standing beside Zurvan, and the next they found themselves standing beside one another in a seemingly endless space; and the Oni knew at once -- understanding well the fondness of her 'father' for metaphor and parable -- as she stared into the haze that surrounded their small illuminated sphere, they had traded one landscape for another.

    Yet in the moment, what Ishtar did not understand, was the thing they had come here to see. For, of all the thing she had been made to witness, this ... Door, with its ruined seals, and splintered wood; was not among them.

    What purpose does it serve ?

    A question that found its answer swiftly, as it was not a moment after Ishtar asked her silent question, that Zurvan proceeded to explain the reason for his desire to apologize:

    “When you were young, Sihn and I placed these here. Beyond that door is....is your destiny. Your Hakai. We were both afraid that you having use of it would make Sakin and others come after you, but I realize now that you not having access to it when your enemies may does not aid you. In fact, it hinders your ability to counter them.”

    He places a hand on your shoulder.

    “I was blinded by fear, but no longer. If you wish to fully embrace your destiny, Ishtar, then you may break the seals and accept what is on the other side. In you is the chance to restart a proper celestial order once Sakin is defeated.”
    When he finished however, Ishtar remained silent.

    It had become quickly apparent over the course of Zurvan's offered words, that the Door before her was not simply a teaching tool.

    No, this was real. This was her. And it was a part of her that had been sealed away:

    Hakai.

    Yet it was more than simply that.

    Zurvan had brought her here to apologize. To make amends for a mistake and find a way forward from it ... and what a mistake it was. After all, alongside Sihn, Zurvan confessed that they taken that part of her, the Hakai she had been born with -- knowing well what it was and what that might mean later on -- and sealed it away out of fear. Fear. Realizing only recently that in sealing it away, they had done more harm than good in the long run. That now was the time to step up and accept what had been a part of her, since her very first breath. Now ... after the five-thousand years of searching for a path that wasn't this, it was time to entertain destiny and break the seals.

    Only now ... after it had been decided, by others.

    For a moment more Ishtar stood still, her face an unreadable mask as she kept her eyes locked on the battered Door before her. Though when she finally spoke, her voice -- the only tell -- quivered. "My life was never my own, was it ?" The Oni let the question hang, as she pulled away from Zurvan and made her way to the Door.

    "... what about now ?"

    Though did that matter ?

    They, Sihn and Zurvan, had manipulated her from the start. Before she had even known that Hakai was a part of her, the Aspect and the Caretaker had sealed it behind a door. Had planned on making sure that no one ever found out until they determined it 'safe'. Including her ... and from there the pieces fit nicely. Why Zurvan had sought her out in Otherworld, and whisked her away. How he raised her. In some sense it even explained how Ishtar had done what she had, on Ilargi; the seals were strong, but neither Sihn or Zurvan understood exactly how strong.

    So where did this leave Ishtar ?

    Torn, to say the least.

    For on the one hand, Zurvan had afforded a choice. The door was still sealed, and there was no reason to assume it could not be reinforced. All she'd need to do is give up, and in, and turn away ... and understanding now she'd been manipulated to; one could be sure others would understand.

    Yet on the other hand, and to say nothing of the Universe Ishtar had come to know well ... How many years, had Ishtar suffered for this ?

    How many years had she spent fearful that what she had done in grief, and pain, was something that might happen again ... and again, after Ilargi ? How many millennia from there, had she wandered to find another path, only to realize and finally accept that she needed to become what she had feared for so long ?

    How many years ... only to find that now, she could have come to this same foregone conclusion by simply sitting and doing nothing ?

    "..."

    Ishtar slowed to a stop, the Door in all its bittersweet glory, looming before her, 'Destiny' echoing in the back of her mind as she stood a moment more in silence as she made her final decision, and once she had she turned to Zurvan, her eyes alight with anger, and shoulders heavy with the weight of one-hundred thousand years.

    "Bear witness now, Zurvan."

    Hands tearing what remained of the ancient seals to pieces, the golden-eyed Oni didn't stop until the Door was wholly free of either Sihn, or Zurvan's influence. Then she placed her palms flush upon the wood, and flung wide the gates.

    "I accept."
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    There is no great surge. There is no great flash.

    Once the door is open, white light shines and consumes, and then........

    Ishtar opens her eyes and finds herself back on the Lookout. There is.....a fullness, within her. An itch now scratched. A final piece now found. She is stronger too. Her power level rising significantly as the Hakai settles within her, warm and potent.

    Zurvan nods.

    “You have been manipulated, Ishar. For that I am truely sorry, and it shall be a regret I bear for the rest of my life. You deserved better from me. But even though you have your Hakai now, understand something: you do not have to be the new GoD. That choice is now truely yours. Embracing the Hakai does not mean you are bound it it’s service. You are now the master of your fate and may choose as you will. Sihn, myself, even your mother has no say or sway anymore.”

    He bows deeply.

    “I hope you can forgive me one day, daughter, for what I have done.”

    Incenio stands and walks out into the balcony. He clears his throat and then starts speaking into a floating holocamera and microphone.

    “Greetings and welcome to my Tournamnet! We shall get started right away with a quick reminder of the rules. Weapons allowed, but no killing. You lose if you are knocked unconscious for ten seconds, fall out of the ring and touch the ground, or give up. The reward is.....quite substantial.”

    There is a loud cheer at this statement from the massive crowd in the stands.

    “Now then, round one shall begin!


    A large screen appears above the arena and starts randomly shuffling names. After a moment, two names appear.

    Meg Luna vs Chris the Knife.

    Chris walks out into the arena, flipping a knife and smirking at Meagan.

    Rutaba was visibly confused. Making monthly payments to a reconstruction fund sounded okay, but what did that have to do with staying out of prison? Something didn't sound right, but she wasn't wise enough to figure out how. She glanced at Pinach, who was frowning in thought.

    "Okay. Well, ask your boss for a loan or something." She was pretty sure that was how that worked.

    "And you should stop hanging around that pirate guy," Pinach added. "They're evil-doers. And evil-doers belong in prison where they can't hurt innocent people anymore!" Because no matter what, breaking the law was wrong. It was there to uphold peace and order; so when people went contrary to that, they were promoting anarchy and chaos. "This Stratovarious guy may have love children, but that doesn't excuse his actions. If he really liked kids, then he'd strive to set a good example for them and be a hero they can look up to, not some... some lawless vigilante."

    Chris walks out into the arena, flipping a knife and smirking at Meagan.
    The first match was Meagan vs Chris. Just from his demeanor, Sarada could tell that he was much the same as the son of a bitch who stole Banefire from Battersea and used it to kill Jack so long ago. She wanted to see a good fight - mainly so she could see what all Meagan could do in preparation for their eventual fight later on - but she also wanted to see him embarrassed and humiliated.

    There wasn't much worse than to be so cocky before a fight, only to end up broken and defeated by a "lesser" opponent.

    "Kick his ass, Meagan," she told her before she she left.

    "I would suggest aiming for the legs or eyes....I've seen no information to support the ass as a particular weak point." Cthylla added in, the voidling appearing from a rift while holding onto several packages of typical arena food....with hot dogs and nachos being the most familiar looking items among the lot and a few, exotic items native to the more alien cultures present. The Voidling had not bother to unpackage any of the goods she was holding and seemed to have no intention too.....or means to eat them when one remembered her situation.

    "It's an expression of speech," Sarada replied. She then beheld the armful of food that the flesh-suit was carrying. Immediately, questions of if a... whatever Cthylla was needed to eat started floating through her head. She could have asked, but really didn't want to know.

    She probably didn't anyway.

    "Pay attention," she told the Void creature. "You asked how tournaments worked earlier, but I didn't answer because it's easier to just show you."

    Meg Luna vs Chris the Knife.

    Chris walks out into the arena, flipping a knife and smirking at Meagan.
    Meagan's cloak hid her, the hood covered or shadowed much of her head and face. Beneath that hood, her Third Eye had awakened. Upon Chris' arrival in the arena and the announcer commencing the match, she put to use the education in science and physics that Jinzi started her on.

    Before Chris could react, he felt a force tugging at the knife in hsi hand. In a nanosecond, Meg had turned her aura into an electromagnet, powerful enough to yank the knife, and every other metallic weapon on his person, away and towards Meagan.

    With a simple flick of her wrist, she sent the weapons flying just past the arena, landing safely on the ground but out of bounds for the fight.

    Once he was mostly disarmed, for Meg knew better than to underestimate him, she closed her eye and lowered her hood. "Shall we have an honorable fight? Or is the only thing you know how to do is stab people in the back?"
