But such is the unfortunate state that somehow, somewhere, an anomaly occurred. A Being, whose name I cannot utter rose. And it began to destroy. Not kill. But destroy. A sickness upon the tree. It grew rapid and quick. Four times. Four times before the last, Succeeded. Death, the everpresent guardian, severed the branches that were infected in the hopes that the great tree would remain healthy and Strong. But it was not to be, for though his power was great, death has its limitations. But this being does not. Each time it was cast into nothing, Each time it returned. With no way to stop it, a final gamble was made. The infection had made the trunk of the tree, and in the center Death took mortal form. And The Seven rose. Through every challenge, through every trial, death\'s hand wielded strength to test them, to mold them, for the great covenants that forged the tree prevented those that were beyond his reach, from helping. For Death\'s Gambit was not in the great powerful gods, the Cosmic Beings or even in his own hand, but rather in the smallest of things. The tiny lights upon the tree. Each soul and individual flickering. The Candle no matter how small can glow so very bright. It was there on the slopes of creation upon the very edge of night Lord Death fought one last time. He fought The Seven. The final test. For only the Covenant of Death could be broken with his failure. And so they did. And in that defeat, they were removed from the tapestry. And they could fight the enemy on Equal Terms. And so they did. \[\...\] You see, The Seven had risen above any other calculation, category, or definition. And there they faced the enemy upon the shattered sky of Kalketesh, the fate of Verum was determined. And for the first time, the Enemy failed.*
