His skin prickled. Impossible. It was only midday, yet there was terrazine in the air.  \nThere. On the western cliff. Ribbons of violet haze—terrazine—curled away from a fresh, jagged crack running down the cliff's face. A tremor must have ruptured an underground gas pocket. A small one. This gift would not last for long. Alarak stepped into the terrazine mist and lifted his arms, palms upward, allowing the Breath of Creation to envelop him.  \nIt sank into his skin.  \nIt flowed through his veins.  \nIt expanded his mind.  \nIt brought him closer to Amon. To the Dark God.  \nAlarak could feel Amon's will, Amon's cold purpose, Amon's dark heartbeat pumping just beneath the fragile skin of this universe, a surging web of veins within the Void that even now throbbed with anticipation. The final masterstroke against the corrupted cycle was at hand. Alarak and the rest ofthe chosen protoss, the Forged—the Tal'darim—needed only to wait for a little while longer.  \nAscension is nigh, promised Amon.  \nBut all too soon the swirling mist melted away in the breeze. The waves of bliss lingered only a few moments longer.  \nNo more terrazine would arise until sunset. Then it would fill the entire atmosphere, just as it did every night. Why? It was the will of Amon. All Tal'darim on Slayn, high and low alike, were surrounded by His glory until the sun rose and His gift faded away. Every night, all Tal'darim were equal in His dark gaze.  \nNot so in daylight. In daylight one had to earn his or her place. That, too, was the will of Amon.  \nHeavy boots crunched on small broken rocks behind him. \"Master Alarak.\" It was his subordinate Ji'nara, approaching him cautiously. \"You are needed.\"  \nShe was the Fifth Ascendant. He was the Fourth, one link higher in the Chain of Ascension. One day she would try to kill him.  \nBut likely not today, Alarak thought. He didn't bother turning around. \"It can wait,\" he said. He wanted to survey this location for further terrazine pockets. If more will arise here during the day…  \n\"No, it cannot,\" she said. \"Master Nuroka sent me. He wishes to speak with you.\"  \n\"Very well.\" As the Fourth Ascendant, Alarak could not disobey First Ascendant Nuroka anymore than he could disobey Amon. \"Did he say why?\"  \n\"He has challenged Highlord Ma'lash to Rak'Shir,\" Ji'nara said. \"One of them will die tomorrow.\"  \nSilence filled the canyon. Alarak showed no reaction, made no movements. He couldn't. It was as if all of his thoughts had frozen solid in an instant.  \nImpossible.  \nWas she lying? No. Absolutely not. Ji'nara was cunning, not reckless. If she were to lie about this, Alarak would gut her and leave her corpse for the hungry zoanthisks. She had seen him do it to different subordinates. It had to be truth. \"Interesting,\" was all he said. His other thoughts he kept hidden from her. Just as she was hiding hers from him.  \n\"Did you know?\"  \nFinally Alarak turned around to study her expression. \"Yes,\" he said. That was a lie, of course.  \nRak'Shir. There hadn't been one of those among highly ranked Tal'darim in months. Amon's plans were so close to blossoming. Once they did, every living Tal'darim would rise to glory under Amon's new order. Challenging the Highlord in a fight to the death? Now? It was madness. Why wouldNuroka…?  \nJi'nara was watching him closely. Alarak's next words would determine whether she would join the ritual.  \nHe met her eyes. \"Will you fight tomorrow?\" he asked.  \n\"Perhaps,\" she said.  \n\"It should be quite entertaining. Highlord Ma'lash does not permit his challengers to die quickly,\" said Alarak. This must stay contained. If too many ascendants joined the fight—if too many Tal'darim leaders died—the chaos could delay Amon's plans by months. Or decades. Alarak would gain nothing from that. If Ji'nara stays out, none beneath her rank will dare join.
