Johanna calmly inhaled, hands on the controls of the Rein Weissritter as the arms parted as a certain sea for a certain prophet, the Sphere moving into its rightful place autonomously, she watched, observed, felt. Heat came from it, even as it moved towards her it pulsed with light in pace with her pulse. Her hand reached upwards, resting on her chest. The rhythm of anticipation, the quickening of her own pulse as the sphere drew closer.

The wound that had never happened in her chest as material inhuman in nature had intermingled with her existence, in that way the Rein Weissritter was a perfect representation. The visage of the known infected and infested by the 'other', unlike her its connection to the keepers of balance was obvious for any who knew of them, for any other its other components were a mystery. And now, with the Sphere of the Curious Goat taking its rightful place she was whole, in her hand she held the key to the universe... No, she had become the key to the universe. A key that fit any lock of mystery, the skeleton key of answers and truth. She needed but look for mysteries and answer them, premier among them the pieces greater than the whole.

The illogical conundrum of the whole lesser than the sum of its parts, the Spheres themselves.

The Goat, The Lion, The Maiden, The Sheep, The Scorpion, The Gourd, The Fishes, The Ox, The Scales, The Archer, The Twins and even The Crab.

Most of them, she figured, had made it their mission to unify the pieces into their whole. And if not that, they would gain this goal within short notice. Hers was the opposite now. Oh sure by collecting them all she could become a God, but she wasn't recruited by her new masters to be 'God'. Such a thing must sound like a frivolous thing to them she reckoned, no. Instead they wanted to know about the spheres and she would collect information for them and for that purpose the parts mustn't become the whole.

As her thoughts went on the room warped, shifting, her eyes falling on its new rectangular decoration, eternal darkness like a sky without stars framed the white rectangle yet in spite of its presence in the 'room' it was not the thing that drew her immediate attention, no, that would be the chill down her spine. For knowledge forced its way into her as it would be doing a lot more soon. The waves had been defiled, the protective barrier shattered with the clumps of flesh barging into it.

A second of contemplation, curiosity at what the tide of black was but she already knew enough about it to sate that immediate curiosity, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Like the hungry maw of a sleeping monster waiting for any hapless fool to walk in and get swallowed, and she, she had already been threatened by a wave of red on this day. Thus her interest in this wave of black was limited, no.. No instead.


Death, doom and darkness made way for the rectangle of light, of white. Standing in eternal contrast to the rest of the void consumed by the tide as it rushed towards her. Perhaps it was a trap, perhaps it was salvation from this place. Her heart began to race, not out of fear but excitement at what lay behind.
As it did so the green sphere on the Weissritter's chest joined her heartbeat, her curiosity pointed her in one direction and if it was a trap she would find her way out of this she was certain.

Somewhere deep inside she felt as if this rectangle was not the doing of Gragios and its cohorts however, but rather a creation of the subconscious self as means of exit. This place worked how she had imagined it to, her thoughts held weight here even the ones she had without knowing about it. And of course as everything here was now done after the acquisition of the Sphere there were eleven more to check up on. As such departure had been on her mind.

So the demonic knight took flight, seeking passage and protection from the white rectangle and claiming it as hers.

The Filth would not touch her, she had other matters to attend to. A control group to establish for comparison to the other spheres as well as many... many other plans. As such the key would unlock the 'door'.
