Content warning for death, assisted suicide, and voluntary euthanasia!

Hakarians are a long-lived species that don't suffer from mara. This is partially due to the fact that they do age, albeit at a very slow rate, and partially due to the fact that Resonators with death magic are incorporated into the species' medical systems. Those with death magic ensure that patients' cells and memories die at a healthy rate. In cases where a Hakarian's memories and cells are not dying at the expected rate, Resonators with death magic will step in and use their magic to cause cell death and "kill" some of the patient's memories. These memories are usually selected by the patient themself. Resonators with death magic who work in the medical field will also step in to kill off antibiotic-resistant bacteria, kill cancer cells, and help prevent outbreaks by using their magic to eliminate the pathogen at the scene of infection.

Furthermore, many Hakarian cultures also have a culture of magical assisted death and voluntary euthanasia. For example, in Karasujima, Yumina's country, people who meet certain criteria can request an Azonaic Keybearer who is also an Emanator of Azonos to assist with their death. Obviously, this process has a lot of oversight and there are multiple safeguards in place to make sure that the system is not exploited.

One of Yumina's most frequent duties as an Azonaic Keybearer and Emanator of Azonos was to assist in this process. Her natural compassion and warmth meant that she was particularly suited to play the role of a Thanategos (death-bringer) because she could soothe patients and make them feel comfortable before she ended their suffering.

繼昨祐希結婚之後

這次凌晨我夢到的是奕凱跟大頭要結婚？！

��是快結婚了

一開頭是我不知道為什麼在他們家

都是三月生日的他們收到巨量禮物

我問在家的奕凱能不能幫他們整理

本來應該是主要幫大頭整理的 因為他東西超多

但可能因為奕凱在

就先幫他把各式包裝在籃子內擺成適合拿取

最後場景是我加入男子休日與他們一大群朋友的慶生旅行 感覺住在奕凱台南老家

途中有跟大家還不熟的我

被招呼到一進院門樹蔭遮蔽下的方型台式泳池跟大家一起在裡面泡水祛暑

我左邊是奕凱 右邊是azona 後來頭還往旁邊靠在她肩膀上

最終幕是一大群人坐在河流距離很近的兩岸

我還是坐在他們中間 大頭在有點距離的左前方

大家起鬨鬧著 然後準備放大頭跟奕凱的慶祝煙火還是仙女棒鞭炮

最後不知道為什麼好像有投影

因為其實還不太認得大家

我朝著左上方看著投影 感覺好像有一位對面的他們的朋友要說些什麼 就醒了

The Ekklesia Galaxy's Relationship With the Xianzhou Alliance

The Ekklesia Galaxy isn't on hostile terms with the Xianzhou Alliance, and many planets, species, and cultures in the galaxy maintain diplomatic relationships with the Xianzhou Alliance. However, many Ekklesian species are long-lived, and while none of them swear allegiance to the Abundance, they view the Xianzhou’s perpetual war with the Denizens of Abundance with concern. After all, there’s a possibility that if the Xianzhou somehow manages to eliminate the Denizens of Abundance, the enemy that they define themselves against, the Xianzhou might seek a new enemy to replace them. There has also been a long internal debate about whether Ekklesian death magic should be brought to the Xianzhou’s attention as a possible treatment for mara. Although rare, there have been instances of mara-afflicted Xianzhou Natives ending up in the Ekklesian Galaxy and asking to be put out of their misery in a moment of clarity. Each time, an Azonaic Keybearer who was also an Emanator of Azonos was summoned, and they successfully fulfilled the Xianzhou Natives’ request for mercy. While many Ekklesian species are horrified by the suffering mara inflicts, the possibility of the Xianzhou Alliance trying to recruit Thanategos to fight against the Denizens of Abundance have lead many Ekklesian species to warn Thanategos, especially those who are Azonaic Keybearers and Emanators of Azonos, to avoid using their death magic around Xianzhou Natives. Hakarians tend to perceive Xianzhou species as being uncomfortable with their place in the cycle of life and death and reluctant to acknowledge that the Abundance and the Hunt are inextricably linked. After all, if Yaoshi did not exist, then Lan would not exist. That being said, Hakari does have a diplomatic relationship with the Xianzhou and engages in trade and cultural exchange with them. The Ekklesia Galaxy also has a millennia-old policy forbidding any Xianzhou ship from traveling through it. 

This policy stems from an incident where a group of Torian students and their professor were surveying an erratic asteroid population in the Ekklesia Galaxy. One of the students noticed a Xianzhou ship approaching, and because that stretch of space was particularly treacherous, the Torians approached the ship to try and guide it away from danger. However, the Torians were wearing spacesuits powered in part by stellar magic. The suits obscured their faces and the propulsion provided by their suits led to the Xianzhou ship mistaking the group for Wingweavers. The ship fired a warning shot, causing the group to scatter. While neither party technically did anything wrong and no one was hurt, the possibility that a similar incident might occur in the future gave Ekklesia pause. A lot of Ekklesian species have a history of being discriminated against in other parts of the universe, and they tend to band together and are also abundantly cautious about protecting the galaxy and its inhabitants as a result. They also viewed the ship’s conduct as a betrayal of trust and an insult to the galaxy’s hospitality. As a result, the Ekklesia Galaxy instituted a policy forbidding the Xianzhou from traveling through Ekklesian territory.

The Hayti area of Durham, North Carolina, which contained Lincoln Hospital, the North Carolina College for Negroes (now North Carolina Central University), and many other Black civic institutions, became an essential stop for Black activists, entertainers, and academics travelling the country. These visitors connected Black Durham to broader cultural and political movements, often sharing news and stories over food. Azona Allen, proprietor of Hayti restaurant the Green Candle, recalled how “singers like Ike and Tina Turner would come spend weeks at the Biltmore Hotel and I used to feed them.

Epithets: Ekklesia

Of the Assembly

Of the life-generating Rulers, the highest is called Hekate, the middle Royal Soul and the last one Royal Virtues. They also have Azonaic Hekatae like the Chaldean Hekate of the Crossroads, Hekate of the Revel, and Hekate of the Assembly. -Fragment xx, Psellus, from Ronan.

The ekklesia was the assembly of the citizens of a polis, gathered to act as a jury or to discuss the implementation of policies for the city state as a whole. The membership was limited to free men. With the rise of Christianity, the term came to mean the body of followers of Christ, which makes researching this as an epithet pretty challenging.

The ekklesia was also the name of the location where the assembly occurred, and there were extensive laws governing the purification and preparation of the space for the work therein. Before each meeting, the pristiarchos, an appointed official, would sacrifice a piglet and carry the corpse around the hall. Thus the piglet attracted the worst spirits and impurities of the site and was taken elsewhere so the assembly could debate in the purified space. Piglets are often used in this way in the ancient Greek world.

Though the Chaldean Oracles are firmly a creature of Late Antiquity, originally attributed to Julian the Theurgist, Hekate’s association with the Ekklesia dates much further back in time. Hesiod himself describes her as presiding, “in trials her seat is at the side of illustrious kings, and in assemblies the man she favors gains distinction” (Hesiod, Theogony, lines 430-431).

Hekate Ekklesia is one of the facets of Hekate from the Ethereal Realm in the cosmology of the Chaldean Oracles*. These lower forms of Hekate are not the same as the World Soul figure who directly interacts with the First Father and Second Father, but represent the realm that stands between the Material Realm and the Empyrean one. As a Goddess who has from the beginning been associated with boundaries and things of a liminal nature, the Chaldean Oracles are continuing a long tradition.  

Hekate has always blessed wise leaders, and presided in places where politics are discussed and debated, and given wisdom and success as She will. In the Chaldean Oracles, it is clear that this particular aspect of Hekate’s nature is understood to be a smaller part of the greater Goddess overall.

Hail unto you wise Hekate, I pray unto you, Stand in the Assembly A presence that brings justice and clarity, In this time of confusion and disparity, That those you choose might act on behalf Of the greater good, That the manifold injustices of the day Be halted by your hand. That wisdom and right actions Be the foundation of the Assembly today.

[punkheads124]

Temetőben

Drága Mama! Hát itt vagyok...Nem is tudom, mit kellene momdanom. Túl sok a kimondatlan szó. Két éve már hogy utoljára beszéltünk. Képzeld, azóta valahogy minden még üresebb, pedig gyerekhangtól hangos a ház. Ő az én hercegnőm. Nagy barna szemek, és piszkosszőke haj. A neve Auróra. Utánad kapta Mama, hisz azona koncerten beszéltünk utoljára.

Sajnálom, hogy rossz gyerek voltam. Sokszor képzelem, hogy ezt az egészet csak álmpdom, s ahogy majd megyek haza, te a kapuhoz rohansz elém, hogy megdorgálj, mert már megint későn értem haza. De te ugye már sosem kiabálsz hogy részegen jöttem haza ? Pedig esküszöm Mama, már ennyinek is örülnék.

Tudod Mama néha megtörök. A szülinapod, a névnapod, az anyák napja. Tudod ezek többé nem az örömöt, hanem a fájdalmat jelentik számomra, és a haragot. Mert elmentél. Hogy tehetted? Vigyáznod kellett volna rám.

Azóta nem tudok sírni. Mintha az ember csak limitált számú könnycseppet kapna a születésekor, s én már elsírtam volna azokat. Ígérd meg anyukám, én egyetlen anyukám, ha találkozunk, már nem fog fájni. Ígérd meg nekem, hogy majd mesélsz, mint amikor kicsi voltam. Hazudd azt nekem, hogy ott folytatjuk ahol abbahagytuk.

Hozz tűt, cérnát, és egy padon foltozzuk majd be egymás lelkén a sebeket, melyeket ejtett ránk: elmúlás, f��jdalom, csend, zaj, büszkeség, szerelem, harag, megbocsátás, elmúlás, üresség. S melyeket ejtettünk egymáson...és melyeket ejtettünk magunkon.
