Meanwhile...
Elsewhere in the universe, a darkness is brewing. A consciousness that should not be allowed in the universe is gathering her forces and slowly wriggling her tentacles of influence into pies across the cosmos. Lady Styx is stirring.

Already she has sent out her Darkstars. The wandering zombie-like missionaries have been drumming up followers for her among the weak willed of the universe for a while now. Oa never noticed with their heads up their own asses. Now her long-term plan is starting to come to fruition, and a good fortune she had never expected has come to pass.

* My Lady. * said the Darkstar, reporting back to Styx as he had been ordered to do. * Oa refuses the power of their fellow spectrum members. Oa has let its ego make it weak. *

* Good. Find out more. In the meantime, bring me more flesh. * she replies. Yes. Now is the time for her to make her move, to collect the flesh of her followers and start the reformation process.

Lady Styx can almost taste the blood on her teeth, already.

Somewhere else in the universe, a certain half-bred alien stands before his superiors, wearing an intense expression.

"...I know what I am doing." he insists. "I know what the consequences could be. I understand that this is not a regular request. Please understand that if this were not such a dire time, I would never ask such a thing. I do not belong in Sector 5 anymore. My heart and my home is in 2814 with my family. If this is what I must do to be with them, then this is what I will do."

The elders of the Blue Lantern Corp regard him, their expressions thoughtful. One speaks up, "What if your plan doesn't work? Are you willing to gambol everything?"

"Yes." replies Avalon without hesitation. Any of the elders that know him well know that look, his jaw is set, his eyes hard. There will not be any dissuading Avalon from his chosen course of action.

There is a moment of silence, as each Elder considers his or her opinion on the matter. One by one, they all turn back to Avalon to give him their blessing. "We Hope that your plan brings you joy." says one.

Avalon doesn't respond verbally, and instead steps forward, using his left hand to draw the blue power ring off his right hand. It is offered to the council of Blue Lanterns, balanced in the center of his palm.
