Cheer of the Spheres

There was Adnamar, Ev, and Aquaria, who in Caphie are called the Ulitar; who first made the Allure, the Spirited Spheres Ones, that were the offspring of their collective thoughts, and the Spirited Spheres Ones were with them, propounding to them themes of cheers; and they cheered before them, and the Ulitar were glad. But for a long while they cheered only each alone, or but few together, while the rest hearkened; for each comprehended only that part of the mind of the Ulitar from which they came, and in the understanding of their brethren they grew but slowly. Yet ever as they listened they came to deeper understanding, and increased in unison and harmony. 

Red Mage by Pascal EtienneAnd it came to pass that the Ulitar called together the host of Spheres from the wee ones number whose names are written: Gold Star, Sweetest Angel, Backstreet Lover, Dragonfly Girl, EquiGal, Weirdo, and Blue Magick. To them declared a mighty theme, unfolding to them things greater and more wonderful than they had yet revealed; and the glory of its beginning and the splendor of its end amazed the wee ones from the host of Spheres and the splendor, so that they bowed before the Ulitar and were silent. 

Then the Ulitar called the remainder of the host of the Spirited Spheres ones; Season Talora, D'Van Cat, D'Pocket, Myst, Contessa, Honeybee,and LadyHawke. And the Ulitar said to them: 'Of the theme of d'cheer that I have declared to you, we will now that ye make in harmony together a Great Cheer. And since we have kindled you with the Flame Imperishable, ye shall show forth your powers in adorning this theme, each with his own thoughts and devices, if he will. But we will sit and hearken, and be glad that through you great cheers have been wakened into song.' 

Then the voices of the Host of Spheres, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs cheering with words, began to fashion the theme of the Ulitar to a great cheer; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of the Ulitar were filled to overflowing, and the cheer and the echo of the cheer went out into the Void, and it was not void. Never since have the host of the Spirited Spheres Ones made any cheer like to this cheer, though it has been said that a greater still shall be made before the Ulitar by the combined voices after the end of days. 

But now the host of Spheres sat and hearkened, and for a great while it seemed that their cheer had no flaws. But as the cheer progressed, it came into the heart of Lady Archer to interweave matters in her own imagining that were also in accord with the theme of the Ulitar. Addressing the host, said she "a cheer from the collective voices will be much more alluring than a single thought." 

Thus our proud clan begin the cheer of cheers, each more preponderant than the other, until each was producing voice, vision, and clamor as one thought, but each unto their own, every day until the end of time. 

And it came to pass that the host of Spheres claimed title to the Cheer of Cheers, which was so great that other hosts were quieted, quelling in their fright of this mighty host, who once declaring that each would produce much cheer that the Universe would respond were not to be quieted by none, not one.
