The world looks so hazy. Before her the indomitable form of her lord and creator, the ultimate power Artosh. His wings spread majestically behind him on his thrown with his slightly frowning face resting on his mighty fist. Sound did not come but the panic of Flügel moving about gave the scene a sense of urgency. Voiceless, their mouths moved and spoke to each-other as one after another took off with a determined look.
I tried to move but I was caught in the rite of restoration. This was just like the time when I had killed that little Ex Machina so long ago... these moments etched into my very being. Everything had a strange flow to it, scenes blended and cleared from one to another. Elder Azril poked and prodded by unpowered child-like form. As I had expected before I returned, she teased me and responses to my report about the unusual machine couldn't pierce her thick head.
Ex Machina arrive, invading Avant Heim. Azril gathers her power and tears open a hole in space around three machines. I couldn't warn her, she could never get through her head how powerful an enemy they could be. Yet, I know that at the time this happened I had supported her attack in defense of our lord.
My Lord's voice echoed throughout the world with the oncoming enemy. Oh, this scene happened earlier, why were these out of order? The lowest of enemies sought to challenge our Lord. I have a feeling he didn't mean the Ex Machina that were about to invade at the time but some mysterious faction that controlled them. The only other race below rank 1 known to have committed Deicide besides Flügel, on the threat scale Ex Machina are on the top of the list. What would have happened if we had known that earlier? Would I have ever met my current masters?

Endless White. Suddenly everything changed. Still hazy, I looked around as my thoughts became focused. So I was back within the Omniverse? I can move my body, but a mysterious magic shrouds my presence. So this is what it was like to feel the Resurrection magic of Omni. The shroud feels flimsy enough to force apart, but this is a novel time to see what it does.
"Ahhh, I feel like I just woke from the past. The human idea that life flashes before their eyes before death doesn't apply to Flügel I guess?"
I floated about the area and tried to interact with different things. The fountain, people, and other creatures passed through her without any change. They couldn't hear my voice or feel my passing, yet the floor itself seemed solid to me. Such a strange magic was quite different from my old phasing power.
In my investigation I found an old looking robotic creature. At least that is what I thought at first but at closer inspection it appeared to be those Stormtroopers I had heard about. The basic troops of The Empire, one of the two largest factions in the Omniverse. I did not yet have their heads, so should I take them? I'm not sure, while I don't have one in my collection their common attribute meant their head would only be rarity 8 at best? Still, as soldiers of the largest faction I should see what they know.
I focus my magic and force off the death shroud, revealing myself. I floated above the ground, over the back of the girl the soldiers spoke to. The stormtroopers immediately focused their weapons on my sudden arrival.
"My, what do we have here. Stormtroopers I take it? Footsoliders of The Empire, I haven't met one of you before. Tell me, what are you doing here?"
They hesitate in response, waiting until the captain puts down his weapon and the others follow suit. He repeats the same thing he told the girl to me.
The captain adds more on top to answer the girl's question, "The Nexus you stand in is the center-point of the Omniverse and the most lawless of locations. Fights spark between travelers all the time, and as you can see from her this is where dead primes can come back at any given moment. The Empire offers protection, and for a Prime there are ways to show your worth and become a citizen. The entirety of Coruscant is safe under The Empire's protection. The other gates also lead to dangerous smaller factions fighting among each-other for dominance."
Jibril put one finger to her cheek looking up and to the left in thought. "But Camelot is also supposed to be just as strong as the Empire is it not? This is what I might call propaganda is it not?"
"They do not have full control of their Land! While they may have squashed other powers in their verse, their security is in a sorry state. Only in Coruscant is in full control of who enters and who leaves."
I continued to think about what they said. It didn't sound very convincing to her but then Jibril's devotion to her masters could never waver. I looked down at the girl with an oddly expressive face. "What do you think, does this story sound convincing?"
