Where Heaven and Hell meet, there stands a gate that has fraternized with eternity.
It is the very existence that cleaves good from evil, the pillar of the realm, yet still trembling as though struggling to hold the balance.
TT Snow is one of the Hellas who resides in Hell. She has no memory of how she came to be there, nor what she was before the beginning. Heaven often describes Hell as an undeveloped land, a primitive corner of the realm. Yet to TT, there is no real difference. Whether in Hell or in Heaven, life remains the same.
She lives and that alone is what matters
She favored peace and quiet, but fate had other designs.
The Great Assembly of the Living, convened once every forty years was approaching, and TT would be required to attend. To her, it was both an intolerable nuisance and a strangely trivial ritual. Yet the Assembly would be held at the Gate, and no living being could refuse its summons.
To be absent from the Assembly was to be absent from the Holy Cycle.
The Holy Cycle is the eternal rhythm of existence itself, the turning order that binds all living beings to the realm. To be removed from it is not merely exile; it is the quiet erasure of one's right to live.
Thus, if one wishes to continue existing in this chaotic realm, the requirement is disarmingly simple: attend the Assembly.
