New Skill

Zefiel came back to Tempolis a few days ago and as promised, he "bestowed" upon me the ability that is needed if I were to help Cimi. I said "bestowed" because it is not a skill that I actually learned from him and it has no name. I met Zefiel in the Sanctorum again and there he enchanted me with a spell. Now I can see pathways and portals that I could not see in the past. And he taught me a spell that I can utter to open hidden doors.

I have been experimenting on how to use this new skill and discovered ways to carry objects (including souls) to the different realms in heaven. (Each Realm, such as Origin, the Rim, and Tempolis, is a separate Realm where an ordinary soul would not be able to pass from one to another carrying materials.) It is both thrilling and yet, at this moment, useless, for the most part.

I wanted to see if any of these new skills affect my Chaotic existence. I came back to Chaos today and found out that I do not possess the means to utilize these skills. What a shame! It would have been so cool if this new skill allowed me to travel between Heaven and Chaos without dying or ascending.

Helping Cimi

After released from Cimi's cell, I started talking to her about what I wish to accomplish while out of Chaos. She offered a collaboration opportunity that I took up. Today, I learned a new skill from Zefiel that will enable me to assist Cimi as well as Zefiel. I am awaintin further instruction from Madam Cimi. I believe much of this is classified information so even in my own diary, I cannot disclose the nature of the new skill and potential assignments.

What I can and cannot do will soon be apparent to those who visit the Heavenly Realms and especially to those who do not honor their oath to proper conducts regarding assuming only one, and not multiple, identity.

A Short Life in the Cell

So... after a few explanatory messages between me and Cimi, she admitted her mistake and released me from the prison cell. It was .. an interesting and strange evening, to say the least. I am... exhausted!

Life in a Prison Cell

So... when I woke up this evening, I discovered that Cimi had decided, for some reason, that I am an obvious Multi. Since I'm in the Heavenly Realm and she can get to me -- she carried me to the cell in the back of her office. This marks the end of my GK life. I did send her a message, protesting this unjust arrest. However, I'm not banking on a change of action or heart from this Archangel. This is not how it has been done.

So... 2 years and change of steadily working toward enriching GK for everyone and my recent volunteer work as Zefiel's assistant earned me a life in prison. What a disappointment.

Zefiel's Temple Diary - Day 4, 5, 6

It is both extremely tedious and very exciting being her in Tempolis. I had a few conversations with Zefiel, who seems to be around mostly during the 8-12 a.m. hours. He mentioned the items that he used to be able to wield being broken and we both wondered how the shifts in both these realms and the worlds below might have effects on each other.

He believes that nothing he could do could help the dire situations down in Chaos. He also mentioned that there is a chance for a sould to "die" in this realm. Hmm.. I never imagined that this is possible. I did notice originalities fading and disappearing. I wonder how long it takes for an originality to be inactive for this fading to happen.

The conversations have been a little hard to follow and a bit cryptic, as expected --after all, I'm talking to Zefiel, the master of ambiguity here.

Have yet to name a single new soul here.

Zefiel's Temple Diary: Day 3

I finally found my way into the Sanctorum (through an Entryway that was somewhat obscure to my eyes) per Zefiel's direction. There I saw both Cimi and Ayrem -- which was a bit of a surprise. I thought that Ayrem had left this universe for good! Zefiel asked me about the basic rules of Naming, and I rattled them off based on Drazisil's (former Assistant) list of Do's and Don't's. They all make perfect sense to me, so it is not hard to agree to abide by these rules.

Then, Zefiel pronounced some spell in a language unbeknown to me. And next I knew, I became an official Assistant to Zefiel.

The ability of being able to pick up, open, and browse through the Book of Names thrills me. And I found out that I can also knock things off of other Soul's possession by a new ability. Of course, if I want, I can now carry the souls in Heaven around, as well.

But, no new Originalities have arrived in the Temple to be named... and now it's almost 4 days.

And Chaos is completely turned up side down chaotic. I'll await more information and maybe someone in Chaos can contribute to an article of changes occured during this time for others to see. I will not spend time recording it here.

Zefiel's Temple Diary: Day 2

It seems that the moment I left Chaos, things went a little wacky down there -- coincidence? Hmm...

Here in Zefiel's Temple, I got in touch with the Archangel of the Book of Names himself, and under his instruction, I received the basic "rules" governing the name-giving practice from a previous Assistant: Drazisil, who generously gave me the information.

It's pretty straightforward: don't give offensive names, don't make a new name that is too similar to an existing soul's name, discuss with Zefiel or other assistants if someone needs to change his/her name, and so on.

I walked around a bit today and now am in the Sanctum (Sanctorium) awaiting the induction into Assistant-ship. There are some lost souls here and I was surprised to see so many familiar names on the ledge and near Origin.

The odd thing is after I sat down on the chair in Zefiel's temple, even when I walked around, it appears that I keep "sitting" in the chair. So odd!

Zefiel's Temple Diary: Day 1

I finally dealt with all the earthly businesses today. All the souls I brought from YGL to seed hamlets on RP were settled. TAG is in good hands, and I had enough SE for ascension.

300 SE to ascend.

These are some things that I have experienced:

The system messages for Ascend:

You hurl yourself into another plane of reality.
Your body's substance adapts to your new location.

I landed on the Ledge, walked a short distance west on the Ledge, climbed up the stairs, and arrived at Zefiel's Temple, through the "gate."

Now I am awaiting Zefiel to wake up from his slumber and maybe, to show me the ropes to become his assistant.

Whenever someone sends me a telepathic message, I receive this system message:

0 seconds ago
You sense a faint mental flicker.

And then I need to click on the "mind" menu to see the actual message.

Ah... I heard that my Public Library forum is WHITE but is still Post-able! Yeah.

The really cool thing that makes 300 SE worthwhile is that I still own all of my villages and I can see all of them on my "mind" menu (not Overview). So, I can still glimpse part of Chaos... if only I can read/post on the Forums!!!

The Sacrifice of Mathais

So... Mathais died. He flew into the aggro. hamlet and killed himself, by accident.. but, with the 70 souls he brought down from Heaven, he and his allies managed to retake the Sky Gate on YM from the recent invaders. That stats loss didn't bother him a bit.. (I would have been very reluctant to lose anything I have to fight a war.) I'm too much of a stats hogger to risk my life for any cause.

Necromancy

As I pointed out the other day, I finally got Necromancy and now can selectively ressurect souls who have been sitting in Heaven, doing nothing for a long time. (But never Enix again... that was such a blunder!)

So, I know that Ilandioc is not likely to come back to Chaos on his own, and decided to bring his body to Yellow Grotto Land. I did not perform a horomancy reading when I started the spell so it was a bit of a surprise when he appeared "in my hand" as Chaos. His name color keeps changing. I scried sirius and saw that from his point of view, this is what happened:

The air screeches backwards across your ears.
and
Ilandioc's body materializes in xiaomu's arms.

Seems to me that this process if quite tender, with the Necromancer taking on the responsibility of caring for the silent partners who will otherwise not have the ability to move or to feed themselves. I don't know whether Ilandioc will be as helpful to me as sirius is but I shall try to make this work.
