I let the words of the Hollow Avatar remain in my head for a while before I brushed them aside. There would be time for thinking about all of this if I survived what was to come.
Originally, I wanted to enter the pyramid in the last loop and take the essential step to begin ending the oncoming eruption, but the presence of the Moon Fox was a complication that changed my plans, and if things went the way they should, then this madness may end today.
For the last eleven loops, the morning had meant one thing: wake to Mel's voice, deal with Orath, Rel, and Rex, and then wait for the eruption to grind.
This morning, the crater had nothing left to give me, since my channels were complete, and it was time to change the pattern, although I did wonder if Vrakth still had the Moon Fox inside his soul, or if he could become a new place to farm for the elevation of the Moon Fox's powers.
