EGGSMUSES •:

Her forces are scattered. Mara can only pull the curtains of one reality, guiding her Queensguard with a spotlight. They glide across the stage as they press forth through the battlefield, &. she desperately holds a paracausal rope as the Ascendant Sceptre draws her life force for power. Everything is going exactly to plan.

Until it isn't.

- ❝ I'm afraid not. ❞ Her Lieutenant Colonel speaks over comms—Mienj, who she demanded stay off field, currently on field. ❝ Crow &. I can't find a way to break down the resonance shield. You'll have to cross the Ascendant Plane, no exceptions. ❞

Mara threatens a roll of her eyes, not to show irritation at the situation, but rather mere disappointment. She doesn't know why she's disappointed. Maybe because this goes against what she's wished for the operation. Nonetheless, she will work with this, &. the Guardians will work with her.

The queen clears her throat,

ᴍ ——— ❝ Luminary, ❞ she knows she isn't allowed to use this title, but she does anyway. ❝ The Pyramids will not lie in wait, our time is of the utmost importance. ❞

There isn't a way to put this lighter.

❝ If we allow the Witness any extra benefit, we run the risk of losing this war. I cannot withdraw you now, but I can grant you balefires to aid in traversal of the Ascendant Plane. ❞ &. if they lose, thousands die in it's wake. They are a powder keg about to explode, sparks flail as they try to outrun the fuse. Tick, tock, tick, tock.

There are only so many places the Queensguard can be, &. right now, the EDZ needs it the most. She can't risk losing more innocents, &. neither can the Vanguard.

This is her civil duty—the one thing Mara Sov can strive to accomplish to win back a public opinion.

She contemplates whether it would be wise to regroup troops &. rearrange the plan of attack, but it's cut short at the voice of her former brother &. Corsair.

𓅨 ᴄ ——— ❝ If Amanda's in there, I can't abandon my post. ❞ Crow snaps. Seems the two were discussing their strategy without her, whether it would be wise to retrieve Gale.

Mara debates intercepting, but decides to divert the conversation on her own terms.

ᴍ ——— ❝ The Lieutenant Colonel will enter the Ascendant Plane. ❞ She tastes the sourness on her tongue, a resentment from all three on the line ( minus Steve &. Miush ). She feigns ignorance. ❝ Mienj, assist the Luminary into the Pyramid. Crow, stay safe on your patrols. ❞

She feels how Crow dismisses her command—her suggestion—&. she feels Mienj recoil at the use of her surname. She loathes this connection.

Mara grits her teeth as she buys time for Pex, ❝ Tell me what you feel, Saunders. ❞

defiance for @eggsmuses

The situation on Neomuna was readily in hand at this point- Calus was getting pushback, and...yes, Rohan was gone, but there were more Guardians arriving to fill the gaps left by him (manpower-wise, at least). Gale was told to take time off- his inability to use this new power was finally acknowledged by Osiris. He couldn't just do nothing, as much as he'd love to- it was his duty both as Seraphim and Guardian to do all he could to defend humanity. So, to the EDZ he went. To the Farm, to the effort to protect the people on Earth.

To Mara Sov.

He was able to keep his feelings in check, of course, he was a professional. Having other familiar faces around helped. Devrim was a welcome sight, they hadn't seen each other in ages- Gale mostly ignored the briefing from Mara, he would get Steve to explain it on the way.

The Shadow Legion were easily felled, of course- Arc and Strand in tandem from a Young Wolf of all people was a hell of a thing, not to mention his own Solar, and the unique way Miush handled the Light and Dark in tandem. They cleared the area, then over comms, someone- The Crow?- mentioned that there was no way in. That was where Mara came in, apparently.

Miush was the one to pull out the Sceptre. They handled it as if they had been using it their whole life. They hesitated, while Steve jumped in with little concern. Something felt wrong. Miush looked over at him, waiting for him to go in before they did. Something felt wrong. He knew now wasn't the time for hesitation, but he couldn't shake it- something was about to change, drastically. A query over comms got him to finally take the plunge.

It felt awful. He couldn't even take a step forward. Steve had already cleared out half the Taken at the start of their trek, and Miush just moved forward, but he was stuck to the ground. He took a couple grounding breaths, then finally opened up his own mic. Steve and Miush had been chatting the whole time (Miush somewhat reluctantly, as Mara was on the line), but he'd stayed silent.

"Are you sure there are no alternative paths?"

His voice only trembled a bit as he managed to mask how desperate his plea was.

[qbedience]

JUSTICE ; the fairest decision will be made.

Justice is the sword that cuts through a situation, and will not be swayed by outer beauty when deciding what is fair and just.

[qbedience]

Loved the reverse Forsaken thing you drew. Can we get more of that? Cause that AU is my jam

ohh im so glad you enjoyed it !! ;; yes of course you can have more ! id love to expand on it more hueheh

[qbedience]

"Hey hunter, how bout you go hunt some BITCHES!"

Some titan or warlock has probably said this to their hunter teamate at some point

[qbedience]

kinda wishing i had the motivation to do the lineart for this but the effort is what counts

[qbedience]

Hello my good fellow!! I am absolutely ADORING your take on the Reverse Forsaken AU, and I just gotta ask-

How do you have Cayde handle Mara Sov/how does he interact with Mara post-Forsaken? :)c

ECHOOOO !! ive seen you lurking around but i wasnt expecting this !! 👀💞

its been a bit of a common theme of cayde being really confused throughout the entirety of the au so i feel almost reluctant to say hes like ?????? HUH at mara still being alive but he is ,, but not without being snarky about it

just because mostly everyone was convinced mara was kablootsky💥 its shocking at first whereas in the normal timeline pex is just like “oh okay we’re doing this now” and bowing immediately when contacting the queen through the oracle -- of course cayde DOESNT do that and his first instinct is to make joke about mara being alive

and mara absolutely does not approve of this lol ! its a bitter back and forth from there on out when the queen admits that her plan with uldren wasnt supposed to end in one of ‘her’ lightbearers demise. which rightfully pisses cayde off ! honestly im a big fan of the MCs of destiny being enemies of everyone so thats the gist of the au !

the only people cayde really gets along with are his friends in the tower but he still has friendly fun with those he doesnt really like ! its just who he is :]

[qbedience]

and her body was as cold as ice -- the stalactites blew frozen from her mouth when she spoke

[qbedience]

nooooo uldren dont kill pex ur so sexy haha
