[Part of the Kotamayu series]

"The Spear lit up the night sky. Aliens looked up at the glowing streak as it halted above their tiny world, ready to convert the first of the Armada."

He could feel all the world. He could feel all the worlds. In his mind, he knew where every star rested for thousands and thousands of light years. He knew many of their names. He knew which ones were awake.

To see all these things was a wonder like no other. To wander unhindered across the Heavens with his mind, The Bishop felt truly free, even when serving under the contract of another more powerful being. All these stars and planets and their patterns across the darkness meant more to him than his simple life on Earth ever had.
His love for his work, his now such simple dreams, even his passion to cook had all simply vanished with time. Vanished as he changed from an ordinary human into an extraordinary demi-god. 200 years had passed from his death into his amazing rebirth.

His attention turned to a moon. A tiny satellite spinning recklessly around an uninhabitable planet of storm. And it was there, on that tiny planetoid, that he saw what he had been looking for.
<I've found it.> The Bishop indicated to his master.
<It begins then.> the other voice responded coldly.
