The First Stirrings of Corruption
#17

As the Seasonal Queen greeted the entourage of the Oracle, and then summarily began swiftly in beginning discussion on the situation that she knew regarding the Chaosium, the group in question would've - whilst wearing respectful smiles on their faces and standing stiff and to attention in the presence of the royal - shuffled in their place ever so slightly, and one member, the Cleric, Eesiywen retrieved an object from a small bag present against his side, one that looked not unlike a disc that even now, had a glow that drifted upwards from the centre barely visible in the current climate.

He would rest the disc neatly on his hand, and for a moment he would close his eyes, maybe even start murmuring at an almost completely inaudible volume and as he himself began to faintly glow with latent energy and something buried within the robe of which he was wearing began to be "siphoned" from, the disc in the hand would begin to jitter ever so slightly, and the drifting glow grew ever more powerful and visible, and before long, it almost began to look like it would coalesce into a non-corporeal, spherical shape that indeed was positively glowing ever still, cycling slowly between colours but most commonly, shades of mute blues of medium darkness.

In conjunction with this act, the Library Guardswoman, Syllarel would speak up to both respond to Aynia, and make it clear as to what her compatriot was performing...

Syllarel, Library Guardswoman: "Your royal highness, the Oracle and the wider Library have been vigilant in scrying and recording the events, any potential updates and the transgressions relating to the dastardly invaders.
From what has been gathered, the Chaolich may prove a larger threat than even before anticipated. I expect you shall want to hear of this from their honour, the Oracle, correct?

As we speak, my compatriot is... Summoning. The Oracle, shall we say? I believe that you may already be privy to his actions, your royal highness Aynia."

The non-corporeal sphere of energy emanating from the disc Eesiywen did not grow any larger than an acorn of a large caliber, however the glow did increase in saturation and potency indeed.
And then, the "sphere of energy" spoke, in a mystical, low-pitched, blank but not unfriendly tone that seemed vaguely mysterious to the ears... It would communicate to begin with, jovially, though this seemed to be vaguely forced rather than truthful...

The Oracle of Caer Sidi: "Many thanks for giving me the needed power to appear here, Eesiywen! You get an easier workload when you return to the library, that I'll promise you...

And thank you, thank you indeed for inviting me here as well, Aynia. It's always nice to have a little chin-wag with you, if you catch my drift.
But, I don't think today will be a pleasant chin-wag, hmm? You've asked me for my consultation, and that I shall give you, no strings attached, nothing lost on anything. Which does mean that I've got some information for you that you might not be so happy to hear, but will most likely want to hear nonetheless."

The sphere of magical, glowing energy that the Oracle appeared as almost seemed to grow dimmer in colour at this point, and when it continued talking in it's mysterious, magical sounding way, the joviality was lost.

The Oracle of Caer Sidi: "So, we at the Library have been using some of our magics to scry the world a tad, and combining that with the information we've catalogued by various means that I won't bore you in divulging, at least not now, we've found out something quite alarming indeed about this new Chaosium invasion.
Something that might throw your plans asunder and force you to rethink, perhaps? No offense intended.

We're almost completely positive that Aimsir Cathedral is not the only place the Chaosium is seeping from nowadays. A portal has opened up to the Northwest, North-Northwest of Adhmad Bont and Southwest of Direach Bont, to the East of our valued friends in Minas Tyrrith and Tyrn U'Yn Elfait. Oh, and there's another one towards the Deep South, one that we're pretty confident is located on the Peninsula south of where those Privateers; the Bloody Fleet have settled down at...
I do believe quite confidently that right now, the Chaolich is focusing the brunt of their forces from Aimsir Cathedral, but already our scrying, and some rumours and sightings to boot that we've recorded suggest that some very monstrous and chaotic entities are emerging from the locations of these two other portals.

That's the major thing I wanted to bring up to you, your royal majesty. I'm sure you can find a way to take this knowledge and act accordingly with it, if my vote of confidence means anything to you."

The Oracle would've said rather plainly and without any sense of emotion.
And with that, it, alongside the three gentlemen and ladies of the entourage would grow silent and wait respectfully for the Seasonal Queen to make her response.
