What on earth did I just read and why was it funny.
Also, apparently the Reader becomes corrupted (or, as Ix said, 'eeevil'). Hmmm... :D
Lovely silliness. I like the language, the various implications, the way the jewels were made, and the fact that I spent the whole thing going 'what am I reading?'

So, hands up who remembers the Myths of the PPC?
They fell through time from a thousand years in the future, and seem to be a mythicised account of the creation of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Precisely what sort of culture wrote them is unclear...
... but perhaps about to be more so. Another document has been uncovered from the timeslip! And after minutes of painstaking translation work, I am ready to share it with you all.
The Continuous Council is one of the best kind of myths - the sort where everything goes horribly wrong, and there are long stretches of magical description. ^_~
I know it's all terribly silly - but I hope someone enjoys it anyway.

Bear in mind, this is seen from a thousand years in the future. They could just be looking at the colours, or at the fact that the Reader 'lets people into the circle' as the Onyx Monitor (eg, Rina)... or maybe a future Theorist/Monitor did go evil. No-one says the roles will belong to these people forever, after all (and - gak! - Morgan's leaving in nine years, so there'll be a new Tigereye Castellan for sure!).
I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

I have not seen this yet and now I am the sad. :(
... not stay gone.
At the time that was written, a) she was a minor character, and b) that was sixteen years in the future! Things have changed, though... I intend to keep the fact in place, but she may well show up again.
Or, hey, maybe in nine years she'll be a non-entity again. That is longer than she's existed as a character, after all!

I do love these 'thousand years hence' myths you come up with. S'fun.
