Last day of the Convergence
Exhaustion was the predominant aura worn by the eight Ascendants.
For a long time, they stood silently, staring at one another. None seemed to want to cast the first stone. Suddenly Drain Bead, who had been standing at the foot of a small plot of newly turned earth, pointed at Peekercpa and shouted "Feed him to the Azath, for he cared not for my animal companion."
Others joined in, pointing this way and that. Bizarrely, someone proposed lynching Gethol, who had escaped this confrontation with the benediction of the Crippled God. Even stranger, one voice clearly called for the lynching of the bok'harala clinging to peekercpa's shoulder - but no-one would admit to calling for the death of the pest.
Eventually it was decided that peekercpa would go to the Azath. peeker accepted his fate stoically, and voluntary walked into the Azath's courtyard. When the Azath struck, however, peeker leapt into action. He raised his arms in the air, and as peekercpa drew deep on his warren, his disguise fell away. The Ascendants watched in awe as Scabadari Bloodeye worked his mastery over Kurald Emurlahn, the Elder Warren of Shadow and the Path of Illusion.
Instantly the Azath's courtyard was filled with a horde of phantasms, each a twin to Scabandari. The illusions began to run in random directions, dodging the vines where they could and providing cover for the true Scabandari's flight. An enraged roar came from deep within the House as vines began striking at the illusions at random, hoping to contact something solid. As each illusion was cut through it disappeared but another would reappear in its place at the opposite end of the courtyard.
Once more the front door to the Azath flew open, and through it strode Ganoes Paran, a Deck in his hands. He flung one card into the mass of Scabandari and they all vanished with a bright flash of light. The true Bloodeye was left standing alone, and after gaping stupidly at the suddenly empty courtyard he made a break for it.
Paran was ready for him, and threw a second card into the air in front of him. This time the card hung in mid-air before Paran. Scabandari was lifted off the ground and began to float himself,. mirroring the card. The ground opened up beneath Bloodeye's feet as Paran walked up to the card and grabbed it. He then flung it into the ground at his feet, where it buried itself out of view in the earth. Scabandari gave one final scream as he was thrown into the barrow that had opened itself beneath.
Peekercpa AKA Scabandari Bloodeye, Consort of the Dragon Hold(Day Redirector), is now a guest of the Azath.
He was a member of Chill Pill, Clan Fastener, the Lords of Chaos, the One-Testicled Caterpillar clan, the Sitting Duck clan and Clan Twilight of the Bacon.
Clan Twilight of the Bacon was his primary clan.
Zeriel was still looking at Azath when he sensed a sudden motion behind him. He tried to turn, but was only successful in turning his far enough to see sinjin swinging a two-handed greatsword towards his back...
Zeriel AKA Osric, Champion of Light(Day Guardian), was Dragnipur's last victim.
He was a member of Clan Old Skool, Clan Pink Terminators, Clan Twilight of the Bacon, The Fismits and Clan Quadruple Cross.
Clan Quadruple Cross was his Primary Clan.
SisterCoyote and Drain Bead found themselves alone, with nphase, guiri, Cookies and sinjin steadily closing in on them. The foursome allowed their disguises to lapse, and SisC and Drain saw them for who they truly were: Shadowthrone, K'rul, Treach and Kalam Mekhar. Drain immediately feel to her knees and screamed, "Shadowthrone! Spare your greatest and most loyal servant! I am your Magus, and I have ever worked only to further your -- AAAAHHHH!"
Shadowthrone gestured, and a series of portals appeared around Iskarul Pust, High Priest and Magi and Shadow. Charging through came the Hounds of Shadow. Pust whimpered piteously as the Hounds surrounded him, and they they were upon him.
Drain Bead AKA Iskarul Pust, Magi of Shadow(Night Roleblocker), has paid for interfering with his god's plans.
She was a member of Clandango,, Clan Fastener, Clan Stapler and Clan Yes We Clan.
Clan Yes We Clan was her primary clan.
SisterCoyote found herself alone against three Ascendants, one mortal bearing Dragnipur and the Hounds of Shadow. She had only one avenue of escape: across the boundary of the House of the Azath. She turned and ran, but rather than skirting the edges of the Azath's property, she ran straight at the House.
The Azath, it has long been known, will on occasion choose to grant access to those brave enough to risk going all the way to the front door. From within the House, the chosen of the Azath can travel to any other House of the Azath in existence, and mortals residing within it will live to an extraordinary age Shadowthrone himself, when he had been but a mortal thief, gained access to a House of the Azath. It became an unassailable headquarters for him, and from there he formed an empire. It was his time in the Azath that ultimately allowed him to Ascend and take the position of King of High House Shadow.
Predictably, it was Shadowthrone was the first to realize her aim. "No!" he shouted. "Someone stop her!" But none were willing to risk getting near the Azath.
SisterCoyote reached the front door in record time. The other Ascendants watched in a panic as she reached for the latch, opened it, pushed and then ... nothing.
SisterCoyote didn't even have time to spin around before the vines were upon her.
SisterCoyote AKA Soliel, Mistress of Healing(Strong Night Guardian), was refused entry to the Azath.
She was a member of Clan Pink Terminators, Clan Nemo and Yes We Clan.
Yes We Clan was her Primary Clan.
This ends the Malazan Game of the Fallen.
