Terminus
The Halo Spire
Far above the metropolis and the stacked stratum of city that lay below the upper cloud veil of Terminus was the restricted airspace of the super powerful tycoons of Terminus. Towering peaks punctured the cloud veil to be freed from the skyline of the common to the starry heavens that made their new view. Atop the highest spire was the private and well guarded Halo Spire of the Heirophant. Publicly it was listed as the residence of a Bank which was then hidden in registrations of other larger conglomerate to obscure its data. Floating down from the highest layers of Terminus' atmosphere was a lone shuttle. It dipped into the reef of spires and zigzagged across the window panes until it reached the lower docking bays of the Halo Spire.
Inside a former Miralukan Jedi Knight, draped in a long high collared white tunic with gold trim and her eyeless sockets covered by a thin silver lace with a golden thread embroidered single eye on top. This was Au'Rus Rhaeyns, first of the Serpahims of the mysterious Ordo Pius Dea. Seated beside the pilot of the shuttle the Miralukan watched the landscape through the lens of the force. In the previous months, the faithful had been called a First Communion was opened. Now with the Order established and removed from the shadows as its former self, the clandestine network of rebels known as Outer Haven, they could finally reveal themselves to their brethren.
Our force is small but strong and resolute. Au'Rus contemplated. Time will tell if the rconstitutions of our brothers and sisters of the other Orders are just as determined.
"Commander, we are ready for docking procedures." the shuttle pilot said through his mouth piece. Au'Rus nodded, resting a hand on his shoulder she let her side pilot seat and made for the unloading bay in the shuttle. As the shuttle locked into its port hatch, the hissing of mechanical panels announced Au'Rus' entrance into the lower lobby of the Halo Spire's several tiers. Soldiers plated in Pius Dea Armor saluted the Seraphim and first commander of the Legate of the Deam Host as she passed by.

"Hail, Sister Commander!" the soldiers recited. Au'Rus' raised her hand in a gentle wave and plead them at ease.
"Hail to you to dear Battle Brothers." Au'Rus replied. Passing the soldiers she entered a hyper lift that shot her straight up to the viewing dome of the Heirophant. The viewing dome had a reinforced window paned ceiling that looked out into the sparkling skies above. Here above the veil there was no pollution from the grime and muted grim lights of the metropolis below, here they were closest to the sublime brilliance that nature interpreted from that of the Deam, the Goddess.
Marching to the stepped platform the Heirophant was standing atop Au'Rus bent the knee and began to brief her master on the days proceeding events to come.
"Master, the representatives of the other sister Orders will arrive shortly. My shuttle's coded beckon has guided them to this location." said Au'Rus.
"I know, Seraphim." the Heirophant whispered. "I sense their presence. Like bright flames in the deep."
"They are indeed impressive. But will they listen?" Au'Rus questioned her master in sincere but critical inquiry.
"They must. If they are to survive what is to come." the Heirophant growled. Turning he motioned for his most trusted ally to rise. "We will do our best to have them understand the purpose of this gathering. The Goddess demands all of her brilliant flames' attention. Even if some of her children have been led astray by other ambitions and concerns."
"Have the guests be guided to the Convocation Hall and prepare the amphitheatre." Heirophant commanded, "Astraal should already be there with her attendants to greet the representatives." Au'Rus bowed from her upper torso and moved to rendezvous with the High Oration of the Order, the voice of the common folk who make up the Order's civilian operations and faithful congress.
Watching his Serpahim depart, the Heirophant spun on his heels and marched back to his Grandmaster's throne to seat himself and watching the holo-projections which translated the approach of those from the New Jedi Order, Jedi Academy and Silver Jedi who had confirmed their travel to Terminus. As he thumbed the touch screen buttons embedded in his seat he pensively glared at the approaching vessels.
Galactic Republic, Galactic Alliance and the Silver Sanctum Coalition the Heirophant hissed in his mental analysis. Ever since his exile from his home world in the core and the repeated persecution of his religion by the Primeval and even by those of his lightside brothers and sisters, he had been watching them. Some for longer than others. Those of the faithful had been once apart of secret enclaves apart of the Ordo's previous existence as the mysterious Outer Haven Network. They have been watching and listening, feeding the Heirophant news of their exploits.
Groping the very end hairs of his silver bear the Heirophant closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh. Hmm. We shall see. Won't we. He breathed another heavy exhale, as his rarely unleashed lightside powers poured from his soul and out of his flesh. A brilliant and powerful light energy felt the space around him in invisible grasps calling to the Goddess. We, shall see.
