Episode 6: The Shattered Ribbons
The Sunreavers returned to the Oasis carrying the unstable relic, greeted by Magister Sungazer and those who had stayed behind. Though their mood was grim after the revelations of their last mission, Axiann reassured them and pointed toward the task ahead: portals from Tazavesh were about to be opened within the eco-dome to bring in Azeroth’s armies for the final assault on Manaforge Omega. Yet before the portals stabilized, the relic tore free of Dominate’s grasp, its violet power lashing violently through the Oasis. The wards flickered, void storms erupted, and illusions of Dimensius filled the skies as civilians cowered in fear.
In the chaos, the Sunreavers rushed to protect the K’areshi and hold their ground. They braved the storm, guided civilians to safety, and fought against voidborn beasts that clawed their way through cracks in the barriers. Support casters worked to steady the relic, even as it resisted their efforts, while fighters held the line against horrors that merged into a single greater void entity. It was in this struggle that the Sunreavers first glimpsed the truth: woven inside the relic were Reshii Ribbons, conduits that drew in magic, transmuted it, and redistributed it. When the entity fell, the Ribbons flared, renewing the talismans of every Sunreaver with a surge of borrowed power.
As the void storm reached its height, the Sunreavers pressed their discovery further. Barrier casters shielded the group while others learned to channel and redirect the Ribbon’s chaotic energy. Together, they bent the relic’s unstable magic back into the Oasis’ anchors, transmuting destruction into restoration. At last the relic glowed with a steady light, the wards of the dome stabilized, and the portals stood ready for the armies of Azeroth. Though victory had been won, all knew the Ribbons’ power was perilous, draining, dangerous, and costly, and Dimensius’ shadow loomed ever larger over K’aresh.
