Diohlatas stood before the throne of Da Vaada. The archangels, Laam and Huun, were there. All the living Jarwa were there. The Titaness, Fari, was there. Da Suun... was not.

They shielded their eyes, as they had always done. As they could only do.

"What have you to say?" asked Da Vaada.

"What have YOU to say?!" the arbiter challenged, stunning and angering those who were present, though they did not speak.

Diohlatas had seen mortal barbarism across the many worlds. He had empowered it where Da Vaada deemed it righteous and necessary. Even if humans had a seemingly limitless capacity for it -Again, not judging- it did not trouble him. 

No, it was not what they were doing that day, but whom they were doing it to. 

Though He appeared as a mere man, He could not hide who He was. It was Da Suun. The living image of Da Vaada, in face, voice and authority, beaten, mocked, wounded, spat on while carrying some sort of... stick. 

Diohlatas finally spoke.

"An... execution?"

"Indeed," answered Sevaasi.

43. Of Many Eyes

- Written by Gift C Enyadike Jr

When the stars awoke, Diohlatas, having left the Chiliad front, could finally see again, with the eyes he had left, for he had lost so many, yet had many still. He could see his superiors, the archangels Huun and Laam, pacify Puraserpa and route the Oztāpo. He could see, as his ward, the Titaness, now simply known as Fari (White), casting Yenaati into Kurisstac. 

Once again, Moyon's machinations had failed, as they always do, eventually.

"All of this for them. The mortals."

Speak of the Devil... Sorry, I had to.

The cosmos had gone dark. The stars slept. Makar Joga was on the hunt, but not for them. Not even for the defiant who refused to die and therefore refused to sleep. The only one that still shone. No, its target was the Archangel Laam, who continued to lead it away from the Chiliad Front.
