Veyra

She holds the memories of 8,447 absorbed worlds.

I asked her once about the fall of Nethyra-9. She answered me. She told me the words I spoke to myself in the dark of my first forming. She told me the secret I have never shared with any living Skarn. She told me who will witness my shattering, and what they will say after.

I did not ask about any of these things.

The Veyra's skull is a cracked geode. Sapphire formations pulse inside when she speaks. When she spoke to me, the light stuttered. Like it was trying to keep up with something moving too fast to follow.

The Mind Track consults her before every major decision. The other tracks do not. They send messengers who return changed. Quieter. Some stop speaking entirely. They know something now. You can see it in the way they hold themselves. Like they're waiting for something they can't name.

Do not ask the Veyra questions.

She will answer.

I still hear mine.
