This is a record of a fight currently happening on a Discord server. As Discord is not very good for keeping permanent records, we agreed that it would be a good idea to keep a log somewhere, and why not here?

[b]Prelude:[/b] our characters met in a bar and now they are having a fight. The multiverse is a pretty big place, and it looks like we'll be brawling in quite an arena...

[quote=vlud]As the sorceress delved into the boundless expanse of the cosmos, she found herself standing before the entrance to the [b]Orrery[/b], a realm inhabited by the most powerful cosmic beings, gods, and new gods, each embodying fundamental ideas and concepts of their universe. Known as the Cradle of Gods by the upper echelon of the Mage's Association, this was a place where trespassing was considered an audacious act. Undeterred, Cadence stood on the arrival platform, a magnificent structure crafted from ivory, adorned with intertwining gold and blue patterns, resembling a bridge leading to an even grander platform that extended for at least five hundred feet in both directions. Encircling the platform was an outer ring connecting two colossal rows of seats, reminiscent of those in a Roman coliseum. Trees of divine origin sprouted from the structure, their leaves seemingly containing entire universes within them! 

The gate was constructed from two identical horn-shaped structures, each adorned with platforms holding statues of a fantastical creature, part avian and part reptile. It appeared as though this creature resided in the distant reaches of the cosmos, far beyond the perception of mortal eyes. Faintly glinting stars adorned the cosmic backdrop of the astral sea.

With a hint of concern in her voice, Cadence noted the absence of the preordained presence. Despite her search, she found no sign of the elusive guardian of the gate. With a conclusive nod, she proceeded across the bridge towards the entrance. The atmosphere was eerie, with near-deafening silence broken only by the gentle wooshing of cosmic waves. As she floated across, she couldn't help but marvel at the size of the gate, yet her dismay grew as she realized it was inactive.

This hasn't been active in a long time. Why would that be?" she mused, rubbing her chin as she pieced together the clues. The lack of a guardian and the prolonged inactivity made her wonder if the chaos across the multiverse was to blame. Perhaps the gods had returned to their respective universes to attend to matters, but for it to remain inactive for so long, it had to be more severe. These thoughts raced through Cadence's mind as she pondered the situation.

The witch's outfit was a striking departure from her usual attire. She donned black, thigh-high stiletto heels and a form-fitting black garment resembling a leotard with an exposed neckline and no tights. Her arms were adorned with black-sleeved gloves with exposed fingers, and she wore a black and red cape fastened to an ornate, golden pendant with a massive ruby. She clutched the Renunciation of Convention and concealed Abydos somewhere on her outfit. Her fiery amber hair billowed in the cosmic winds as she surveyed her surroundings, sure that the preordained had to be nearby. Where could they be?

Under usual circumstances, she would have been subjected to thorough questioning and assessment to determine whether she posed an active threat or if her intentions were aligned with the expectations of the gods. However, delving into the intricacies of Cadence's motivations was a complex and challenging endeavor in its own right.[/quote]
