A Means to an End
They gathered to the
east
west of the monastery, at the foot of Ice Mountain. Inquisitors, all but one, garbed in cobalt blue robes, wielding sceptres of silver and gold. The one other wore duke blue vestments, adorned with blue silver and stars of Saradomin.
Grand Inquisitor Tolatsson handed the Archbishop the scroll of parchment, which he had rescued from the deceased Armond's chambers. It contained the instructions.
The group surrounded what seemed to be a monument to Saradomin, but they knew better. It was Armond's legacy, his final contribution.
They praised it, and they spoke the words, and it rose from the Earth. It towered tall, bulk unimaginable, cold steel and divine inspiration. Its light blinkered, and it begun to question the Archbishop.
Identity confirmed, activation was authorised. But then it faltered, energy whisking from a crack. Fortunately, something reignited. It told them of its weakness, and how to fix it. The group summoned a teleport, and whisked the machine away.
The Colossus had risen.
