"I imagine you will have to visit many governments. However, first, to put up a show. To complete my conquest, you see, For after this day, the world is mine." Kami smiled, as she gestured, and Wiper appeared. Then, everything seemed to blur, as there's a lurching feeling. You can see rock cracking, straining to hold. Kami simply chuckles, as you can feel your stomach drop. Looking out of a window, you notice that Kami invests more than you thought in looks. Kami is practically giggling with glee, her usual calmness gone in the face of her victory. You could almost imagine her bursting out into evil laughter.

At the other side of the gate, the Death Priests stood around a portal, as several odd-looking figures moved through large pieces of machinery. As they set it up, the portals begin flickering, the worried soldiers kept away only by Jaques constant reassurances. "Don't worry. We're simply stabilizing the way." There are cold smiles enough to go around, as several spiders can be seen latching onto the people in charge, who soon stand back and order their men to all but help in the setting up. Arcs of white lightning shoot between the vortexes. They seem to flicker and expand, flashing dangerously. The people from Hope stare in wonder up into the sky, as it's covered in more and more holes to Fear. Then, through the vortex, steps a massive steel claw, crashing down into the streetline between two buildings.
Another massive claw stamps down, the ground shaking from the impact. From the portals emerges a large, pointed front, as the whole thing lurches forward. As once more the massive legs step forward, the front of the construct becomes clear, and two more legs pass through the vortex. A massive citadel, much like a church, to which these huge legs are attached. Massive windows depict scenes of spiders in several positions of worship. The massive archs of the citadel hold up a massive tower. Four massive golden bells hang from beams at the side of this tower, and they start ringing, loud echoing gongs filling the city, as another two legs crash through the vortex. Thousands of nameless soldiers, armored in red and black, the insignia of God's tears on their chest. They move in between the legs, still moving forward, the underbelly of the mechanical beast hovering over the main square as the last two legs of the massive mechanical spider enter the world of Hope.
Unseen by the populace, billions of spiders scurry down from their breeding nest, the Citadel of Tears. The soldiers keep on pouring out, filling the city, millions of them like mindless drones. Blood priests can be seen among the crowds, navigating and aiming the masses. People are taken from all over the city, and gathered towards the main square, where soon there is a crowd of millions. Slowly, the gongs stop ringing, as the Blood Priests and soldiers all burst into chanting prayer, dropping down on their knees. A choir of voices, thousands of them, spread over the entirety of Hope, singing perfectly in sync.
The massive underbelly opens, as a platform is lowered. The choir reaches new heights, as the platform is lowered, a massive throne, upon which sits Kami. Her black dress is covered in strands of red silk and massive rubies, woven into the thread. She smiles down at the massive, her enormous throne adorned made of solid gold, covered in onyx and rubies. A thunderous crescendo reaches it's maximum point as the platform nears the ground. Wiper is standing next to Wiper on her right, on her left stands a rather surprised and embarrassed Moonbeam. Then, silence falls, Kami staring down imperiously over the amassed populace.
Slowly, Kami stands, smiling. She steps forward to the front of the throne's platform, where something like a balcony has been placed. banners are unfurled from the underbelly of the Citadel of Tears, completely black, depicting a single red blood drop. Her voice carried with all the elegance and authority of a natural-born leader, the awed people of Hope staring. Cameras have been set up all over Hope, and undoubtedly the spectacle has been broadcasted all over the world. "People of Hope. I am Kami, High Priestess of God's Tears. I have come here to grant you the blessings that I can provide you with. I shall grant you wealth, medicine, and safety. Your world is fractured and divided. And in the name of the Lord, I am here to save it."
