Magic Story: Hour of Glory by Michael Yichao
The Hour of Glory was to be the moment where the gods proved their worth to the God-Pharaoh. Instead, three forgotten gods appear, their purpose ominous and unknown.

Hey w-wait

None of this uh

Nnnnone of this seems like Glory at all

In fact

If it weren’t for the displays of individual sacrifice and courage on the part of the brave people formerly called initiates who now fight for their lives instead of for their god-granted termination

We might suspect that this Hour of Glory has not brought any glory to the world of Amonkhet in any reasonable sense of the word

It would seem as if someone

Possibly someone with big up-pointing horns and a foul sense of humor

Caused these prophetic Hours to bear intentionally ironic names

In order to weaponize the people’s very hope against them

And in effect to laugh

Down at this world that once worshipped

And in many cases bizarrely still worships

His own purported

Glory

….That’s messed up

”Hour of Glory” is Michael Yichao’s story this week, part of the Hour of Devastation storyline!
