26. Provocation

- Written by Gift C Enyadike Jr

Now, Sevaasi had laid eyes on the Titaness, Fari Hasira and his heart filled with hate. She was born from Kallor and Kibet's fatal and final union that brought death to the stars. She was void of light, as he was, yet having light as he once did, and raised to Udamu to be amongst the hosts HE once commanded as Onárstil, defending the humans he so despised.

He would have her as he had them. She would fall as they did, as he did. 

Fari Hasira was devout and zealous, but she had a great rage set solely on Sevaasi's forces, though she had never seen him. When she finally did, she followed him into the deepest depths, into the mouth of Puraserpa, who had not seen Sevaasi, as he had no light. Diohlatas, her guardian, pulled her away, and the beast pursued them higher and higher, nearly engulfing the cosmos in the deep shadow of its maw...

Ah, you must be confused. I said before that it was big enough to swallow galaxies, didn't I? I don't recall me saying that was the limit of its size. Do you?

Allow me to reiterate. Makar Joga is dwarfed ONLY by Da Vaada, and it was his voice that halted its advance and sent it back to its resting place at the bottom of all space. 

"Sleep." 

And so it did.

For approaching it, which was forbidden to all the radiant Heavenly Hosts, Fari Hasira would forever linger on the creature's tongue as a taste that could be satisfied by nothing else, and it would always pursue her upon awakening. 

Such was the price for her wrath.
