---- Tavon ---- Matteus the King’s body explodes with an aura that stretches out from him in the formation of dark green claws; each claw reaches down, breaks off into a thousand different branches of tau, and those branches rake into the skulls of everyone in the audience and prompt them to laugh even harder.

He shoots another member of the audience in the face. “Cramps,” he replies with a blank expression. My body feels unusually warm. I want to move, but I can’t. On my right, Theoria comes aglow wit
