Physical Plane - Sycorax

<Is the Shadow Gate ready?>

"Yes, my Thrall."

<Activate it.>

"By your command."

The Sernaix enters a nine symbol address into the newly constructed Photonium D.H.D.. The inner ring of Naquada slowly turns within the outer ring of Photonium. As each correct symbol on the Naquada ring lines up with the Chevrons, also made of Naquada, the Chevron in question activates and lights up its black indicator to show the symbol was accepted and locked into the sequence. After all nine Chevrons accepted all nine symbols, the Sernaix presses the Activator and the Gate comes to life. The unstable vortex of the forming wormhole flushes outward before collapsing back into the stabalized event horizon.

<Did you enter the nine symbols you were given in the order they were given?>

"Exactly, Creator."

<Good. Let the other Thralls know I shall await them on the other side.>

"As you wish."

As the Thrall steps through the Gate, and into a higher level of being, the message started to circulate out to every Thrall in the nation. Thus begins the ascension of the Shadows of Ha Dum. Eventually, in the nation of Ha Dum, only the Sernaix would be left in this realm of physical existance.

OOC: Notes:
1.) The Shadow Gate is a SG-1 style Stargate built using Ha Dum tech;
2.) This is the Stargate style ascension, except through different means.
3.) Any other nation that currently has ascended members should be able to notice the ascension of my Shadows and should feel free to join in IC'ly.

*The Ascendant Avian Lord Guild Plane*

A vast, phasic land of glass and crystal temples in the same styles that the Gaians originally encountered when their ancient Dysan Sphere was discovered nearly a century ago. The temples were not limited to a horizontal or sized state of architecture, and temples, obelesks, atriums, and other ascendant structures ran on many three dimensional forms, with pedistal walkways of all sizes and angles connecting everything.

Level ground was the temples themselves here. Everything was based on these temples, as the near infinite expanse of this Plane conneted everything in a lattice that from afar was like a gilded, polyhedronic cage.

The Ascendants lived here, doing essentially whatever they wished in a realm as constructed for them, as all their own mortal works that still existed, for their relatively new masters, the Gaians. Sharing ascendance with them, even in a partial state gave a form of new belonging that was missing for all these eons when the Avian Lords were in a pure ascendance state. Only returning from that state to help serve the Gaians lofty goals taught them what they missed.

Such a mutual empathy also taught to note when others had done the same. A billion years made the Ascendants masters of noting such obvious events, no matter where it occured, and whence it was accomplished.

They therefore, in their temples, in numbers even greater than in the mortal realm, sensed many details from the emotional state that the new ascendance was lending to the Great Weave.

It was spoken most simply by the great master of masters of the Avian Lord Archonships, the center of the one million temples which housed each small council of Avian Lords, some few thousand each, the total numbers incredible.

Lord Avian Supreme Gal`hanor Trad, the 'only' Avian Lord to adorn a Surname with a given birth name, again said simply...

":: ~ Shall we welcome, or damn the name of the Ha Dum as of this moment. ~ ::"

The reverberations would go through the Gaian path for further answers.

<More Thralls arrive by the moment.>

<You made sure the Sernaix understand they are not to follow us at this point in time?>

<Yes. Our child race will stay behind and care for our great nation on the physical level.>

<Good. We have existed for so long, and they have been around for only a fraction of that time. We must carefully make sure they follow the path to becoming all they can be.>

<Agreed. We created the Sernaix, thus we must care for the Sernaix.>

*The Hikari Tree Alcove, Holy Palace Tree*

Deep at the recesses of the thousands of Hikari Trees in this enourmous chamber, is two, and only two beings here.

After the Ascendants had alerted them to this unique event in the Great Weave, these two were at the base of Aeo, the Triad-Tree, with the Lord Excellency, and the Hikari Goddess both in a unique meditation trance.

Lady Creation was teaching Lord Aleaic how to feel what the Ascendants felt naturally.

"(( ~ *Guiding Aleaic's thoughts some* There, do you sense them? The new ones? ~ ))"

Aleaic, sitting in Tree lifewaters up to his upper legs, in a cross legged position, was calmly letting his Tree also give additional focus. He was deep now in the trance of the ascendance waveguide. Being a Representative Power gave him many unique abilities that were not neccessarily, easily equaled by similar powers.

One might be able to tell a god by senses. But not so easily the transition from mortal to god, or even mortal to ascended. Those types tend to be either secretive, or in the act of being around those they wish to gloat over anyway.

It's usually the former that succeeds in the long term. The latter usually are annihalated shortly after in some epic battle.

Aleaic therefore, was concentrating on the more secretive aspects, such as the alerted Ha Dum Event. He was nodding by now, after a few hours in this hyper sensory trance. "Yes.. I 'can' feel it. A deeper, expanded sense of being. So much like our own quasi state my people enjoy.

But if I already know..."

Lady Creation interrupts.. "(( ~ It may seem easy to sense when another civilization ascends, but without concrete knowledge of what to sense for, it can be as much stellar background noise, as the wavelength to sense for can be tricky to detect.

This is how you can know when to combat others, to prevent tragedies of the immense scale. It will also be another tool to use when the proper time comes. ~ ))"

Aleaic 'speaks' over to the goddess. "Time for what exactly?"

Lady Creation just giggles softly and keeps her peace. Aleaic wonders what is in her mind 'this time'.

<Did you sense that?>

<You didn't think we would be the only ascended creatures in this universe, let alone all the others.>

<For a moment, I did.>

<We are being watched.>

<Let them watch. Our time on the physical plane is coming to an end. The Sernaix, our created children race, needs our absense from the physical if they are to continue on the path towards their ultimate potential. We can't nurse them along.>

<Agreed. All we left behind now belongs to them. If they need us, we will be there to help them only if we judge the need is true.>

OOC: I didn't want to do this, but I've got to.

Bump.

OOC: I didn't want to do this, but I've got to.

Bump.

OOC: Come on. Isn't any nation out there with ascended members willing to join in besides Gaia?

((OC- I essentially did this thread as a tool thread of sorts. Not planning on preventing anything. ))

((OC- I essentially did this thread as a tool thread of sorts. Not planning on preventing anything. ))

OOC:
1.) Tool thread?
2.) Never said you were. Just that I know that others have ascended members (I'm mainly doing this so I can get my Shadow Thralls out of the way so I can have more freedom with my Sernaix characters), and it would be nice if they made IC responses.

OOC: Bump.

Wonder what happened to Gaian.
