"Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they are alive! But you do not perceive it.
We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure— who say, when struck by a disaster, ’Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return’.
They are the ones who will receive Allah’s blessings and rcy. And it is they who are guided.
Indeed, the hills of Ṣafa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes the major or minor pilgrimage to the Sacred House, let them walk between the two hills. And whoever does good willingly, Allah is truly Appreciative, All-Knowing.
Those who hide the clear proofs and guidance that We have revealed—after We made it clear for humanity in the Book—will be condemned by Allah and all those who condemn.
As for those who repent, nd their ways, and let the truth be known, they are the ones to whom I will turn in forgiveness, for I am the Accepter of Repentance, Most rciful.
Surely those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers are condemned by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity." - Holy Quran: Juz 2:154-161

[Outer Sanpaku Entrance]
Itsuka: "Um, Ms. Zoram..."
The Middle Eastern Völva turns to look at the physically gifted young, light skinned woman.
Their symbiotes engage and am serious expression takes over Itsuka’s face.
Itsuka: "Ms. Zoram... from what Laban had called before, and from you’ve told , my mother had lived a secret life as a Völva. Conforming to the ever advancing world around her as it progressed, correct?"
Unintentionally, Saku’s head quick perks up quickly banging into Laban’s chin above him.
Without acknowledging the tiny accident, Saku is solely focused on his vice captain talking about about her deceased mother.
Zoram smiles at Itsuka’s sudden interest in her own Völva lineage. She then peeks at the always exposed, washboard abdon of the daughter to one of the most prominent Seiõr users to be ntioned in the records of Old North Germanic, "fictional" mythology. She nods.
Ruining the mont just before Zoram gets to the point, and now seeming to be a common occurrence, using his passive ability without activating his symbiote, Katsu welcos himself into Saku’s conscious, uninvited.
The scheming Yang Vessel is talking to his rivaling contemporary force while the rest of the present group is focused on the important discussion at hand.
Katsu(telepathy): *Before she restates the obvious, giving you ideas, and makes you get your own hopes up, I figured I’d have a quick chat."
Katsu and Saku EyeEngage through the dancing bonfire while the girls talk.
Zoram: "Indeed.
She may have changed her identity nurous tis, but you surely are the cared for sapling of Ioûnn’s legacy.
And as proof with your trained and robust body dear Itsuka..."
The "trained and robust" woman blushes, thinking about the ti and effort the secretly magical mother put in towards her daughter’s self strength.
Zoram: "Rember when I had told you, ’every Valkyrie is technically a Völva, but not every Völva can be a Valkyrie?"
Katsu(telepathy): *No matter who you have on your shitty side Saku...
No matter the bloodline, heritage, entrusted family goals, or special training...
None of you will EVER be considered a threat, once Shelly and I reach our individual peaks before you screw us!
nflicts between multiple factions claiming to generally follow the sa beliefs of unity, peace, and selflessness as you do.
The glaring problem is our primordial pride as animals to win and conquer.
To our own detrint as animals with advanced organic computers, being correct about a contested claim is registered by our processors as a ’win’."
Saku(telepathy): *What the Hell are you even talking about? Will you listen to your damn self Katsu?!
I’m giving you all the opportunities possible to be the actual positive leader of this group, and not a two faced fake, using your reputation to trick everyone into thinking you truly care. While and Laban are left like pricks for calling you out.*
Saku swallows his spit nervously before resuming.
Saku(telepathy): *Katsu, are you really willing to continue with your lies, creating chaos with Icen, and murdering the innocent? Once everyone catches you slippin’, it will only put Shelly in even more danger?
Life finds a way to survive!
Killing everyone else in the world is not only the laziest but the most ignorant solution to solving humanity’s indifferences Katsu!"
The EyeEngagent breaks and Katsu’s head drops. His dead green eye and Anjell Eye stare at the grass while he tries to hold back his laugh with a lip biting smile.
Katsu(telepathy): *HAHAHAhahahahaahahAHHAHAHAHAH!
Oh Saku.
Yes.
Life sure does find a way to survive but in the end, love will conquer all.
Everyone I delete from this existence, gets a little bit closer to Shelly’s complete freedom.
Also weakening the possibile support to your own selfish and irresponsible ambitions or continuing the truly cynical cycle humanity has caught itself in.*
Saku(telepathy): *Katsu...
You need to freaking relax.
None of us are going to betray you or Shelly, but I can’t guarantee anything if you continue with this secretly elaborate plan to wipe out humanity. You are using an unjust thodology to ensure a single woman’s safety.
Now stop using cryptic dialogue to explain what in all living fucks is wrong with you.*
Katsu(telepathy): *If only you knew how many promises you’ve broken or probably never intended on keeping to , Saku.
A truce with anyone other than her will never happen. Shelly and I will end all the world’s shaful repetitive reproducing and senseless suffering of the weak and/or physically useless.
It is the emotional manipulation and psychological programing you pass on as patronizing positivity. Allowing the most unskilled, inefficient, and unambitious of humans to live long enough to have children.*
Zoram: "From a simple eye test alone, I can easily tell you are a Völva born, but your carefully planning, well-knowledgeable mother trained you to be more of a Valkyrie."
Katsu(telepathy): *Laws...
Religon...
All constructed with the main purpose to bypass the universal law, ’survival of the fittest’. *
Looking back through the flickering fla, the two chosen Vessels lock their blessed sight once more as Katsu finishes his unwelcod ntal intrusion.
Katsu(telepathy): *Souls whose only ’happy mories’ are their short lived breaks between the horrors, pains, and feelings of hopeless despair while spending their entire existancre as a part of the underground human trafficking system.
The unappreciative souls like the DæMons and Laban, not conceived with love, but instead are the multiple residual consequence of two individuals controlled by lust, and self centered hedonism."
The young man who was headbutted by Itsuka the first day they t, looks to his right at Itsuka blushing from hearing Zoram’s praise of her mother. Then glances over at Laban pinching and smooching the giggling Princess Rebekah’s cheeks.
Finally, he looks down at both Friend and Xaaydagaay, napping with each other at his feet.
Saku(telepathy): *I know the ntal gymnastics you’re trying to execute Katsu, but two can play at that ga.*
With Saku’s willingness to fight back in order to save his purposes from the secretly murderous young man, an incorporeal, dark shadow, with two protruding horns from it’s temples appears. behind Katsu.
The ominous all black being is apparently invisible since nobody reacts to the otherwise obviously terrifying entity looming over.
Katsu(telepathy): *As can I with weaponizing the emotions of the gifted.
Creating subjective interventions based off one’s current feelings. Not taking into consideration the consequences of not having emotional self control.
Example, your little tantrum yesterday.
The fallacy of cosmopolitan unity is truly gasoline while faithful promises of peace are a book of matches.
Every attempt to obstruct the universe from the natural balance, or ’save and protect ’ the misfortunate is the figurative lighting of a wick you can’t see the opposite end of. The spark eventually ending at a loaded cannon aid indiscriminately at an available group of innocent children or civilians.
Human minds instinctively prioritize dealing with the possible dangers and dying, over whether or not they can empathize with/befriend a potential threat to their overall happiness.
Even though all forms of public violence are considered unnecessary, proactive reactions will always be made by those who believe their own personal knowledge and awareness is reality. Believing any violent actions against the innocent are necessary."
Saku(telepathy): *The irony you’re spewing is thicker than maple syrup, coming from you.
How am I supposed to believe you aren’t just using Shelly, and plan on betraying her in the end.*
The smile leaves Katsu’s smug face and he has to physically stop himself from getting up and attacking his rival captain.
The triggered Izanagi captain jumps his right leg up and down repeatedly in place.
Saku(telepathy): *You know what?
For the sake of argunt, lets say I fail convincing you to not destroy the world for a girl, or stop your plan and you do manage to exterminate everyone.
What do you plan on doing once it’s only you and Shelly left, Katsu?
Please don’t say sothing completely corny like you two will be the new Adam and Eve.*
Katsu(telepathy): *Of course not, you fuckin gutter mind.
After all the contemplating and speculating.
Trial and error.
Having to live knowing I made wrong decisions after a few bad choices."
Unaware of Katsu’s negative body language, Shelly gets ecstatic after hearing the reminding equally confirmation to Itsuka’s special bloodline.
Shelly: "Oh yea!
Now that you ntion it, I had a small chat with Mada Fryer within my Yggdrasil Mindcscape yesterday, she also described you as the descendant of a Völva woman nad Ioûnn!
our mother and my Valkyrie grandmother were traveling companions!"
Katsu(telepathy):*Every single failure at saving her before, has been branded into my mory...
But the answer is useless to you since you’ll be dead.
So if I were you, I would try to avoid speaking that into existence."
Leaving the ntal conversation, Katsu’s eyes turn into bright, over dramatic stars by the information pointed out to the rest of the group.
Katsu: "Holy crap!
If that’s true, that would be incredible, Big Sis!"
Sol: "And not to ntion a little too much of a coincidence."
Everyone presently around the fire turns their attention to the mysterious statent. Everyone, except Aiden. The logical and quick witted genius has the knuckle of his index finger on his chin, calculating certain explanations.
Aiden: "That’s what I was about to say. If Shelly’s grandmother was slain almost 800 years ago, while fighting the DæMons to buy ti for Itsuka’s mother to escape. That would an this ’Skalmönd’ woman had to have a child or children, she must have left with Itsuka’s mom, before her final stand against Laban and her sisters."
