Communion
Juan stood to speak again, describing the need for the blockade of the Strait of Woes to be dismantled once the world's governments have accepted terms and recognized the new leadership of Cuahalan. He asked that magicians and scientists work together to cleanse the Bay and the water of the poisons there, so that the aquatic life could return. Libra suggested that Pisces be enlisted to lead this effort, if she was agreeable, given her connection to the water.
Orlando brought up the crown Pisces wore which prevented her from using her magical and psychic powers, as Juan took his seat. "Isn't it time to release her, if we can't demonstrate she's committed any crimes?"
Raising his hand, Agrippa said that he would agree to that, if there were no objections. He suggested that fair treatment of Pisces and her daughter Vesica would be a sign of Cashel's commitment to reconciliation. They could choose to settle in Acis, near Malachus' prison, or Anwyn.
"What of the Vimanas?" I asked. "Libra and I won't both need one to pilot, if we're together. Juan intends to relinquish his."
Juan nodded. "I'll use it to aid the dismantling of the blockade, but afterwards, Scorpio and I would share one. I don't wish the command of an airship any longer than is necessary."
Scorpio suggested, "Perhaps Juan's pale Vimana and your white Vimana can remain in Cashel, to be commanded by Agrippa and Ampyx when necessary?" The group assented to her suggestion.
Libra stood to offer a closing message. "When we leave, the Beast, Equis, will be traveling with me and Gemini. I want this to be a symbol of what we are doing: no longer will the world be one of one power subjugating another by force, but a cooperative effort, mutual benefit. A symbiosis. I would ask that the Witnesses, Enoch and Elijah, be given expedited hearings and freed if appropriate. They can work with Dantalion to create a new religion, a union of Urthonian and Urizenite faiths which will usher in the new age of peace and mutual toleration."
Smiling, Libra extended her hands to the group, who were smiling in admiration. "This is a changing of the guard. My child could be the leader of the new faith, Communion. We can choose to believe in this, and create a better world together."
