[VOLLUS II] [2.32 MILLION YEARS IN THE PAST]
[FOUNDATION TIME: 563,043/192/02/30]
[FROM THE THOUGHTS AND WORDS OF THE ANATHEMA]
 	*MALIFUX AWOKE, SCRAMBLING TO HIS FEET, A MYTHIC SPEAR IN HIS CHEST*
 	*"What-"*
 *'...what just happened? I cannot remember?'*
 *'What trick have I been subject to? ... This is no trick...'*
 *'Where am I... What is this place?'*
 	*MALIFUX LOOKED AROUD. THIS PLACE WAS BARREN. EMPTY. DEVOID OF ANYTHING BUT RED ROCK, SAND, AND DUST. SOME FAMILIAR SHAPES SURROUNDED HIM, HIS LYIKII'D FOLLOWERS.*
 *'This is not Mokosen... This is not my Fortress...'*
 	*"...Am I Banished?"*
 *'No... My son, Ri'iiko?'*
 *'A heretic...?'*
 *'What is this... This spear in my chest- What is this... Agony?'*
 *'...No.'*
 *'...NO-!'*
 *'I REJECT THIS.'*
 *'No- What... -what is this memory?'*
 *'-THAT UNCHASTE COHORT OF FILTH! THEY STOLE MY SON-!'*
 	*"Ri'iiko- ...Defied me? For the Dryad-"*
 		*MALIFUX LOOKED ABOUT HIS SURROUNDINGS AGAIN, HIS EYES INTERROGATING THE LANDSCAPE, NO SMALL NUMBER OF HIS FOLLOWERS WERE WITH HIM. NONE SPOKE, BUT THEY ALL WERE CONFUSED OR LOST. HIS EYES CAUGHT THE SPEAR IN HIS CHEST FROM THE EDGES OF HIS VISION...*
 	*HE LOOKED TO THE SPEAR, IT HAD PIERCED THROUGH HIS TORSO. THE ORNATE BLADE WAS LIKE A PEARL-WHITE QUARTZ, GLEAMING PEARLESCENT IN THE ALIEN SUNRISE... HE KNEW THE HANDWORK OF THE BLADE ALL TOO WELL...*
 	*HIS BODY TWITCHED AND SHIVERED. SHAKING WHERE HE STOOD, A CHURNING AND MALEFIC RAGE BOILED OVER IN HIS SOUL... HE OUTSTRECHED HIS ARMS TO HIS SIDES, FACE TO THE SKY IN DEFIANCE, BURNING TEARS STREAMED FROM HIS EYES...*
