The Arc of Conflict, Saga 16: A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die

[solarbird]

Katya Volskaya's government in Russia has destroyed the omnium Koschei, and held their own against the Gods of Oasis. With no point to additional fighting, the overt war has paused. But covertly, the conflict carries on. The gods, after all, still have a plan, and will do what is needed - one way, or another.

Jesse McCree has a plan to collect millions of Euros from either Russia or Oasis in exchange for the 'hidden jewels' of the SEP - or so he convinces the Deadlock Gang. But he's not lying when he says he has other fish to fry, too. Just about when and how he intends to fry them.

Of Gods and Monsters: The Arc of Conflict is a continuance of The Arc of Ascension, The Arc of Creation, and In the Beginning, there was an Armourer and a Living Weapon. It will be told in a series of eddas, sagas, interludes, fragments, texts, and cantos, all of which serve their individual purposes. To follow the story as it appears, please subscribe to the series.
