---Ending---
“Hmph. I’m right here, ya know,” Tao said, unveiling herself from under a flickering multi-layered distortion. “Don’t be so hasty, Tia!” Tao would say with a savage smirk on her face, the air around her flickering a bit and making her image like a mirage, “I was BORN ready for this, you know, and I’ve been waiting aaaaall my life to finish this damn ceremony.” Tao had been stuck 18 for like 2,000 years now with none of her descendants or members of her clan able to tame her Spirit and the Curse that came with it. Now that she was finally home free, she wouldn’t do a thing to mess this up. “Whatcha got ta eat, Tia~!?” Tao’s eyes were vicious, like a monster, and her teeth were sharp, like fangs, but her body was poised, like a person, and tense. She trembled a bit, licking her lips with anticipation.
After the incidents with invaders seeking to enter the Veritas and defile the land, Tia, the very essence of the Wind itself would manifest back in her holy place in her dragon form; a swirling wind of faint distortion and streams of cloud encircling the floating Sky Sanctum of the Veritas and keeping it protected with her presence. Tia had been waiting patiently for Tao to stop goofing off so that she could receive the last bits of her memory and learn her place as an inheritor of Creation. She needed to recount her history and learn her final lessons, as Tia had insisted before Tao was to be reprimanded by her Father and the invaders from other worlds attacked. Though the cloud dragon’s face could not be seen, faint partings in the clouds resembling eyes would loftily loom all around the land blocked off by the vaporous body of the Dragon Queen, Tiamat. Rolling clouds like gaseous limbs would lay loosely over the constructs and architecture of the land, passing only as the presence did, as if walking ethereally. “Where is that lazy girl?!” Tia nearly screeched as she paced, lightning crackling slightly between the parting of the clouds like the mouth of a dragon, “Did she not learn her lesson before, when Orochi attacked seeking to claim the Veritas as his own? Or when her Father scolded her for goofing off? Is she still thick in the head and fluttery of heart?” It seemed like it, as most who listened to their hearts were. Yet, it was important for your heart to be speaking a good, responsible and important message to you through your feelings and not inviting you or urging you to do things that were not so. It seemed like she, like many others, had not learned how to control that heart fully. “How terrible it must be for her to be anyone’s daughter.”
The winds of the Avisora Paradisia, which were once docile and serene, would suddenly come to a stir. This would seem to be nothing but the shifting of the currents, yet the powerful winds blew the clouds in the completely opposite directions, bringing with them the orbit of each of the hovering islands in the sky. The swirling seemed to nearly be that of a cyclone forming.
From the reversed winds and thickening clouds came the enormous horned head of a beautiful woman. Her eyes were easily enough to watch over the largest of the floating islands with ease. The rest of her body, as supple and gorgeous as any fine woman, lay naked on the plush clouds like a bed, until reaching the 'tail,' which became like that of a grand serpent; Tiamat, in all her rare form. It was unclear just how long her body below her womanly form was, as it was hidden by the thickness of the clouds. She puckered her lips as if kissing the air, swirling around casually and bringing all the currents of the wind, and thus, also, the floating islands, with her.
~At the next moment, Ty would also be able to see where every single head of Orochi was located at the time through his Third Eye, and at those marks, he would swing his arm to dice each of the spots where Orochi's heads connected to the main body with the ethereal energy of the blade projected into each of those locations, since the energy that he was able to omit from the 'King Blade' was able to reach anywhere within his established Presence. This would appear to be him slashing wildly at Orochi whilst his Commanding head was moving, but this was actually to hack at the other 7 the very moment they revealed themselves in the Veritas' reality. Not only would a connected slash sever their ties to the Veritas and isolate their realities as only individual heads, but also this would also sever their connection to their tails.~
The image of the 'Prayer Beads' surrounding the Greenhouse area would 'Project' itself around Tao's neck, thus binding Tiamat at the same time with the power of the presence of this land and the Master of the Presence, itself.
Through the synchronization of each of the Shinsangels and the Shinsanities, the subduing Prayer Beads that were once only on Tao and Tia's necks would be projected also around the necks of the severed dragon heads of Orochi, preventing them from being able to grow back, as well as establishing a set dominant influence belonging to the Tensei that would prevent Orochi's regeneration without first overpowering the binding forces of the sentient beings fighting against his presence within the Veritas. Though he was assimilated with the Veritas, the realm was fighting back against him, and therefore gave him a power struggle in addition to Ty's Presence as a while that were the individual wills and consciousness of the 7 Shinsangels that protected the Veritas. Thus, in order to overcome the Veritas, or even have any sort of control over any part of the Veritas, as well as the ability to regenerate any of the lost heads, Orochi would have to overcome all 7 of the Shinsangels.
~Each tail was slung at a high speed toward the respective targets, which were the 7 headless nubs of Orochi and where the dragon spawn were probably still wriggling about. Each spiritual hurricane was cast down upon the Veritas like a paintbrush upon paper, where the true artwork could be colored in fine detail by each tail working in tandem to create a greater story, now, and not working against each other individually. Through harmonizing with Orochi, the tactics of how each head and tail worked in harmony would be applied immediately to the 7 Shinsangels, as well. From there, through that connection, Tiamat would be able to paint each of the heads of the Veritas upon the headless nubs from where the Prayer Beads connected and assume complete control of the hijacked body, as well as each of its tails.~
"Thanks, Tia~!" Tao screamed out to her Tensei Spirit, which was the Kyuubi (Nine Tailed Fox) that was designated to watch over her for 2,000 years. As the Spirit of the Wind, it was the very air itself and was the atmosphere of the Veritas, and therefore freely altered it as was seen fit. "AWRIGHT, now I've got 7 whole tails that can just do whatever the fuck they wanna do..." Tao would say as she wriggled each of them about, and each of the other Tensei got into motion. "And they work, too... So that means..."
~Realizing the amount of power she had over the entire Veritas simply by herself, Tao felt, for some reason, a sense of responsibility to take her duties as a Priestess seriously and finally responsibly take care of these exorcisms correctly came over her. She understood her role as a Priestess, as well as why she failed at driving this curse away for 2,000 years. "... Tao has been a bad Priestess... Nyaa..." She sniffled a bit, suddenly feeling remorse for having put so many people through generations of torment at her expense, especially as a rampaging demon, including to her family. "Tao was not prepared at 18, as was promised... But... Tao is ready now..." She did not understand what it meant to be a Priestess before, and was very swiftly swallowed whole by the very powerful fox spirit that tormented her family that sacrificed her to it. She suddenly remembered that they had no choice but to give her up, and even now, she was prolonging a curse that had been going on for far too long. Therefore, in order to completely break the curse of the nine tails, she would take her place in life as the Priestess she was supposed to be and paint delicately with each of the tails as thought they were calligraphy brushes. "... Tao must have control, too..." She crouched over onto all fours, maintaining balance, then lifted her hind legs up into the air, as if ready to pounce. At that moment, each of the essences of the 7 Tensei, including herself, which were within each of her tails, would be able to be used to her will. Each tail brushed upon each land of the Veritas and spread upon the canvas one of the chosen guardians to protect the land from danger. The enormous tornadoes serving as her tails would suddenly stop swirling and disappear in the wind suddenly becoming calm, and immediately afterward, Tao, herself, vanishing.
*WHOOSH*
Tao took control of all of her 7 Tails at the exact same time and linked together each and every one of the 7 Shinsangels and 7 Shinsanities through the body of Orochi, and then immediately fought back against Orochi's power as well as prevented him from having any form of control or eligibility to establish or regain control over his pilfered body and tails. "Now that just leaves the head, right Tia?!" The head of Tiamat, though it belonged to the dragon, was a title that Tia, Tao's Spirit, had named for herself at the time before the true physical flesh of 'Tiamat' appeared. Therefore, 'Tia' was the 'Spirit of Tiamat' whilst 'Tiamat' herself was the actual Original Being that Tao had embodied the spirit of, and now faced in terms of the actual body. Tao, already having the Spirit of Tiamat inside of her, would be able to actually fight the dragon herself now for control of the body, title and authority over all that Tiamat was as Dragon Queen. "Tao is gonna make a 'Wind Goddess' worthy story this time!!!" She was also going to have to paint over her old work, since it wasn't very good, in her eyes. It was fortune of being a Scribe, like her twin was the Narrator.
*Note: Because the Tensei are also writing the story, some of them have special specific powers to influence the actual story itself.
