Alyrin Delling would indeed kill Seven Kharaos, and with his death, humanity would so follow -- their intolerable hubris purged at last, the slaves who had cast off the yoke of Heaven judged and found wanting and punished.

To home, and to the dreams long abandoned on the winding road drawn out by his capricious companion; the entity both loved and cursed as Fate.
