[b]Meanwhile, deep inside the Vault of Glass[/b] Grixis and his Blades entered huge expanse that once belonged to the mighty Axis Mind, Atheon. Now only the broken machines of past, present, and future lay here. Men'kaar and Calvik broke off and went to the left of the room, while Vôlik-Dal and Stronix went right. But he went forward, jumping across to the small platform and onto the other side. He landed on the stone ground. He looked up at the two collections of crystals that arched upwards to make, along with the floor, a triangle shape while he walked up the steps. They seemed to have lost their glow over the year. But that would change. The Blades came and took their places at his sides. All the while, they looked at the giant, broken frame before them. "[i]This is the Times Conflux[/i]?" Spoke Calvik, breaking the absolute silence of the chamber. "Indeed, it [i]was."[/i] Grixis responded. Then he walked forward toward the broken Vex. He ran his clawed hand down the arm of it's glistening white body. He continued until he was standing where it's head was. Such a shame, a once mighty being, brought down so low. His train of thought was interrupted when Vôlik-Dal spoke. "[i]My liege, the guard that we placed at the entrance are speaking of three Guardians forcing their way into the Vault."[/i] He was quick to respond. "I know. But they cannot stop what happens next." He knelt down and placed a hand on the white chassis, before his entire arm took on an ghastly shimmer of Light and Darkness. "Let us begin, shall we?" At his touch, the Vault responded. It knew what he was trying to do. And surprisingly, it did not resist. All around, Vex units that resisted the Hive now took their side with them. The crystals above him now glowed with the energies of Light and Darkness. "[i][b]You were once a force to be reckoned with. You once held the title of Times Conflux, and kept the balance of time in check. Now you lie broken, shattered, destroyed by the warriors of Light. Take back your mantle. Rise from your slumber, claim the Vault of Glass as yours once more, take your revenge on the world!"[/b][/i] At his words, the giant frame began shift, it's left arm that was no longer there, now replaced with Light and Darkness in the shape of its original appendage. It grasped it's weapon, and rose to it's full height. It looked down at him, and bowed. "[i][b]Welcome to the world once more, Atheon, Bane of Time[/b][/i]."
