Oberon And The Witnesses

Libra spoke into my mind, telling me to come to one of the detention cells deep within the volcano. Using the location she provided, I teleported and was next to her in a moment, standing in front of the cage holding the two Witnesses.

She put her arm on my shoulder and brought me close to the wires. "This is the child's father, Oberon," she explained to the bearded man opposite her. Turning to me, she said, "Oberon, this is Elijah, and he's just told me that our child will be the union of Urizen and Urthona, bringing peace between our peoples." The man smiled at me. His companion knelt next to him in prayer.

I put my hand to my cheek. "How could that be? Our child would hardly be the first elf-human hybrid, even with magical parents," I wondered, taking Elijah's word as true, even though he'd been a sworn enemy of our cause only a few days ago.

Elijah shook his head, as Enoch rose and stood next to him silently. Enoch offered, "The foolishness of men is the wisdom of god. Consider this: the time has come. It is a new Aeon, one of peace and harmony. Libra represents infinite space, and you, Oberon, the superbly contacted singularity."

Libra said to me, "Sometimes he talks in ways that confuse me, but it feels real, it feels right."

Elijah said, "I know this place is your stronghold, but you are both in danger here. Sharp knives that will draw blood are lurking around every corners, cruelty is waiting for you. It's not by our design, but it is something we can see. You would be safest if you return to the Guild stronghold of Anwyn, where your child can be protected and raised."

Libra turned and looked at me directly. "What do you think, beloved? Can we entrust the government to Agrippa and our allies?"

I stepped back, very unsure and overwhelmed. "We should ... discuss this, with Agrippa, Orlando, Scorpio ..."

"Should these men be freed?" Libra suggested. Both Enoch and Elijah had seated themselves and returned to prayer.

"They will be tried by the Court, but if there's no evidence against them, they'll be released. Besides their defense of the government palace, I don't know personally of any atrocities they've committed." I explained.

"They attacked me and they mistreated Equis, but there will need to be a full investigation for them to be cleared," said Libra, sounding more like her old self.

"Who's Equis?" I asked.

"Oh!" She said, looking wild for a moment. "He's the dragon beast that guarded the palace. We've bonded now."

"Of course," I chuckled.
