your blood burns white - hot with enough rage that you are fortunate you do not see only red as you hold this damnable creation in your hands-- what remains of it, that is . soaked in the melted snow and ice of spear pillar, the shattered pieced shine like a handful of gemstones-- or perhaps like droplets of crystallized blood ... that ought to be more akin to its nature and intended purpose . your faith does not culminate in reverence of almighty time and space, but you feel keenly for the hundreds and thousands wronged by the attempt to bring their gods to heel with this .

you always had your suspicions ... after cyrus was dragged to the distorted world there was the question, insidious and lingering: what happened to the chain ? had his followers requisitioned it before they were hauled off to their cells ? had it been destroyed and simply simmered out of existence ?
the question is answered, but somehow it does not bring you any peace of mind . the burden again falls to you, carefully placing each shard of the chain into a small packet, and when there are no more shards left to keep hidden from the world, the packet is tucked away into a pocket within your coat .
it is the fastest that alpheratz has descended from the pillar, and you are grateful .
