===House of Dusk===
The betrayer prince spoke the words of the last Kell, and the Fallen burned their banners.
A Dreg watched his people die in piles of red, blue, and green. The last of the Eliksni were scraps of cloth alight in bright tongues of flame.
Rain and Scar and Stone were dust. The Kings bent the knee. The Exiles knew nothing but hate. Too many Devils rejected the way of Ether to embrace the hateful red cloud that twisted and shaped them. The Wolves were lost with their Kellqueen. Winter was as silent as snow.
There was no Judgment. The Dreg remembered the stories of the Eliksni. How proud his people had been eons ago! They explored the stars. Their Ketches landed on many worlds and claimed them for their own. They built cities that shone in the glow of a dozen suns.
Then the Great Machine came. It offered everything, and it took more.
It disappeared in a Whirlwind, and it left despair and ashes. The shining cities fell.
His people had followed the Great Machine across the universe, beseeching it to see them once more. They had tried again and again to take it from its hateful new children. But it would not speak to them. Cold ether hissed where once there had been warmth.
Now the banners were burning.
The Dreg looked up at the night sky, brilliant with stars, but saw only the space between.
It was beautiful.
The Fallen would have no more Kells. Only the lowest of the low could lead them. They would scavenge and steal and claim the scraps that were their due. Their banners would fly the symbol of the space between.
There was no Light for the Eliksni. Only Dusk.
