Chryses Enlil stood atop the platform that allowed him to survey his domain in the sunlight, the light gleaming off his towering, gold tinted form. He was massive, even for the Unceasing Vigil. Standing a good ten feet tall, and engraved in the shape of a towering, male angel, glowing runes moved across the surface of his body, and his eyes gleamed intelligently. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, surveying the currently activated legions that lay below him. Behind him, the numerous spires and parapets of the Cathedral shone in the daylight, and hymns echoed through the stone corridors as the Priests continued their Rites.

Behind him, dutifully, stood Usha Anat, his lover and second-in command. Standing at eight feet tall, she was carved in the image of Preya herself, a beautiful, nigh perfect statue of a young woman, tinted with silver and jade. She looked more worried than Chryses, her concern easily visible. Her face clears when the towering angelic figure turns his head to her, and speaks in a deep, masculine voice, which still retains a youthful tone to it.

"It is time, Usha!"

Chryses smiled at her, extending an arm to press her to his side. She hesitates for only a moment, but Chryses appears not to notice.

"I know that you wish for Peace among us, Usha - but the violent intentions of these outsiders can be denied no longer. They seek the Ebon Eye, and we have been too forgiving of their intrusions thus far. Perhaps some of those with good intentions will see reason and cease their incursions - the rest, we will strike down!"

Usha looks downcast, but Chryses doesn't appear to notice once again. He raises his arm not around her, turning them around to the assembled statues below.

"We march to War, brothers! For Skaless! For Preya! The Balance will be maintained!

The statue warriors below cheer cacophanously, their voices gravelly and ancient. Chryses steps away from the balustrade, walking back inside the Cathedral. Usha says something to his retreating back softly, but it is lost amid the roars of those below.
