I—Metamorphosis

Verse X:I — Metamorphosis

Setak sits within the shade of the square of Kaharn, draped in old cloth left behind from his broken court.

Wanderers of the Fundament would walk past him with scoffs and disgust.

They could not know the truth that Setak possesses. Ruin would soon be upon them at any moment.

He looks up to the sky to see the Fundaments many moons, but notices one out of place.

—-The Sky is the end of your kind Setak. But you must hold onto those that you cherish, and you will soon be reborn.—-

The words would echo within his mind, pounding like a drumbeat of seven cords.

The pain would be too much for old Setak as he would close his eyes, hoping the sleep would cut it away.

—-But it would not.—-

———

The moment he awakes, the square had been ambushed. Tents had been collapsed, citizens were running amok and being chased by foreign entities.

Setak stands up to inspect his surroundings.

"Setak… old friend."

The voice from behind spooked Setak who cried out in terror as he fell to the ground. He would turn his head to face the aggressor.

The figure stand tall, wings collapsed behind their back. They wore a wide crown; they smelled of death and rot. Their three figured hand was outstretched to Setak.

II—Blunt Hammer

III—Trial of War

IV—In the Deep

V—Carrion

VI—Tribulation

VII—Lingering Shadow

VIII—Vile Armament

 Verse X:I — Metamorphosis
-I saw the end before it could begin.
+Setak sits within the shade of the square of [[Kaharn Atoll|Kaharn]], draped in old cloth left behind from his broken [[Osmium Court|court]].
-I was granted visions of the fate of my world, a Syzygy, a god wave that would destroy all of the young krill.
+Wanderers of the [[Fundament]] would walk past him with scoffs and disgust.
-The visions drove me mad like the [[Osmium King|king]] before me. I gave his [[Oryx, the Taken King|dau]][[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|ght]][[Xivu Arath, God of War|ers]] the chance for survival.
+They could not know the truth that Setak possesses. Ruin would soon be upon them at any moment.
-Now they have returned from the depths to give me a new chance, to survive the madness of the whispers.
+He looks up to the sky to see the Fundaments many moons, but notices [[The Traveler|one]] out of place.
-I would take this new morph. They call it the Shaper. One that is rare, and only two would ever exist.
+—-The Sky is the end of your kind Setak. But you must hold onto those that you cherish, and you will soon be reborn.—-
-With this new shape, I shall make a compendium of my travels and knowledge I take in my campaign of conquest. I shall journey across the stars, bringing death and tithes to the worms and gods.
+The words would echo within his mind, pounding like a drumbeat of seven cords.
-As I shall bring war to the moons of my world.
+The pain would be too much for old Setak as he would close his eyes, hoping the sleep would cut it away.
+—-But it would not.—-
