It had been a long, almost unknowable time since last Protoss did battle against Protoss in quite this way. It had Artanis drunk on grief as he stalked through the harsh landscape of Shakuras, the psi-blade at his wrist humming a song of tragedy and war.

( All around him, templars were dying. )
And for this one instance in time, he was, at last, terrified of the future.

Kerrigan had heard rumblings for quite some time now. Since before Char, actually, somewhere in transit from Braxis. Still, she was a little surprised to hear that the Protoss had broken up their fledgeling alliance quite this soon.

Sitting on the thick flesh floors of the overlord she'd commandeered for this mission, Kerrigan tilted her head at the communication eye. It might be vital that she act soon...

"...prejudices have driven them to perpetuate the Conclave's sins against us. Even now, Aldaris and his loyalist templar forces are preparing to attack our Citadel." The Matriarch, Raszagal, at work. Nice.

"I can scarcely believe this." That was Artanis's voice once more. The young Protoss had been doing well in the ranks. "As if the Zerg were not enough! Matriarch, are you certain of this?"

"All too certain, young templar." Raszagal's creaky old whisper. "Executor, as Matriarch of the Dark Templar and custodian of this world, I hereby order you to terminate Judicator Aldaris, and quell this untimely uprising without delay! There will be no dissent among us while the Zerg are poised--"

Kerrigan pulled the plug on the comms. She didn't need to hear anything else. Aldaris, the little self-righteous creep, had obviously gone snooping around where he shouldn't have. Oh well.

It was nice while it lasted.

With a single command, the tiny Zerg ship disentangled itself from the Protoss war fleet and drifted, invisibly, to the planet below.

"May Adun forgive us." In New Antioch, Artanis wept.

"Executor," Artanis spoke, his mouthless face an insistent presence on the viewscreen before her, "The Uraj is secured and after two weeks, the UED has finally given up the chase. We are currently holding perimeter orbit over the planet Char. Zeratul, have you locked onto the location of the Khalis?"

( The Protoss and their little magic crystals... )

It wouldn't be long until they'd secured the Khalis. Kerrigan made sure of that; she knew the area like the back of her hand, and they really didn't have the time to waste.

Midway in, she sent a little mental call out to River, just to see how she was doing, and Kerrigan would not hate herself for the sentimentality of it.

[ mostly 'stablishy, but open to

( 'Explain something to me, Zeratul.' )

( The mission went more smoothly than he'd anticipated. )

[ some dialogue taken from StarCraft: Brood War mission 4 ('The Quest for Uraj') again, NFB, ooc-ok, la la the works and relish. the last one for now! ]

To say that those present were giving their-- guest-- a wide bearth would be... a massive understatement. Kerrigan's immediate personal space was so empty you could almost hear the crickets chirp. But she didn't seem bothered.

( Of course not. )

The air resounded with the noise of Protoss aircraft slicing through the air, their cannons aimed and firing. The Zerg screamed back a twisted echo, answering ammunition with poison and sharp spines that cleaved the sky in two. They had been fighting for three full hours, and the Protoss's tactics seemed to get bleaker by the minute as more Corsair spacecraft hurtled hard towards the ground below. Three hours, and the once-peaceful Dark Templar homeworld was now spotted with craters, debris, and blood.
( Below, three Dark Protoss waited. )

Back to Char. That had been the Overmind's grand plan for her. Back to hunting straggling Terrans who were already hopelessly lost on the planet's volcanic surface.

If she were the type, she would have bristled. As it was, she was merely taking a short walk before entering the Overlord that would take her and River right back there. The idea of 'walks' was alien to the Zerg, of course. Most of them didn't even have the minds to conceive of such a thing.

She enjoyed them thoroughly.

She was already several long strides on her way back when she sensed the other presence, and halted. Something... shrouded. That was strange. Alien, even to her perception. "Who--?"

And suddenly, the Protoss stood before her. Darker. Bluer along the edges, and shrouded. "So you are the abomination," it-- no, she-- spoke calmly. "Very well."

"Come to keep me company?" Kerrigan asked, claws springing to life before the sentence had crawled out of her mouth.

"I am here to squash you, much like the rest of your kind," the Protoss returned, her eyes glowing a bright blue. "I am Raszagal, but you may call me your end. I will not have this travesty festering upon the home of my lighter bretheren."

"Well, Raszagal," Kerrigan almost hummed. This would be interesting. "You really got a way with words..."

Eyes of a Tragedy

Easily amused, huh?
