T H E T R I N I T Y: the three who dared to gaze into the abyss, only to find it gazing back.
the architect: the woman who opened up the heavens, charted the stars, and loved the physical embodiment of the universe; the woman with one foot in the present, and one foot in space.
the messiah: the man whose technology brought humanity to a new age of evolution, who delivered a missile into space and saw the vast unfathomable endlessness of the universe, who will write the earth into the center of the realms in the shape of his mechanical heart.
the godkiller: the god who will be punished until the end of time, who will rain down chaos and wrath in the name of fate, who will litter the universe with the bodies of deities, who will commit the impossible and strip the immortals of immortality; loki silvertongue, loki godkiller, who will render all flesh into grass.

And then he raised his eyes and captured hers. When he spoke, his voice was broken and quiet.
“Would to God she were mine.”
