Daudi, robed in midnight-blue and crowned with silver, leans forward, his voice trembling as he studies the shifting symbols on the dais. Isaya, her emerald cloak trailing along the polished stone, exchanges a glance with Daudi, confusion etched on her face. Baraka, the youngest yet fiercest of the new supreme trio, stands at the dais’ center, a golden aura radiating from him—an energy neither Daudi nor Isaya have ever witnessed. "This power... it is beyond the reach of mortals or divines. How can this be?""We have crossed the threshold, Daudi. We are no longer bound by mortality," Baraka declares, his eyes reflecting galaxies.
Baraka channels his newfound power, his palm alight with fire that neither burns nor consumes. Ushindi, loyal and steadfast, bows his head, shadows flickering across his determined face. The magic settles over him, and his form shimmers—caught between worlds, made semi-immortal by Baraka's will. "I feel the change, my emperor. Life and death now walk beside me, not ahead," Ushindi whispers, awe-struck.
Seraphine clutches her staff, its gem pulsing with anxious light. Thei, armored in obsidian, steps forward, voice trembling between disbelief and accusation. "Baraka, you stood at our side, once.

The old trio, torn by awe and sorrow, hesitate between old allegiances and the new order. "Existence itself is mine, but I will not rule with tyranny. Stand with me, or fade into memory," Baraka proclaims, the universe shimmering in his gaze.
A hush falls over the world as word spreads: Baraka is emperor, the divines have a new master, and the old ways are gone. Seraphine lowers her staff, tears glimmering, as Thei and maelis bow their heads in acceptance—or perhaps defiance—of the new existence. The age of mortals has ended; the reign of the immortals, with Baraka at their head, has begun. and kaelis the third member of the old supreme trio now appears and he also bows before the new supreme trio
