It's probably good to check the Story so far? thread under the power of claw segment, but I will try to catch you up. This is going to be brief and I'm going to skip over less important things, but here we go.

I'm going to start after the council meeting that was ambushed by Catastrophe.

So anyways, things were slightly calm for...oh, about a couple of days. The diplomatic meeting was hosted at the Resistance base (the one in Mer, I think) 

But basically the meeting failed at first.

Then Mina starts wanting to drain the power from the relics. She breaks the gem in the Crown, and its power flows into her. 

(Skipping over some stuff)

She threatens Catastrophe with it, saying the Crown was drained and the Sheild was being drained as they spoke--(which wasn't true, the Resistance still doesn't have the shield yet.)

They try to transfer the power to Alexandria it doesn't work. They find out about a riddle-- (see Trixie's thread labeled @Everyone for the riddke)-- that says where the relics power goes. 

Then the Ball of Stars begins. You can read that yourself, I'm not going write about it because that's what we're role-playing right now.

And also, this is the less important stuff currently happening--

Karune changed her name to Rose and is going insane in the woods with a wolf named Sybill and a dragon named Albero. (See Sybill's Home ~... thread)

Three travelers,named Moonlight, Kimiko, and Machali were captured by Catastrophe. They found out about some of his plans, escaped, and are being chased by an evil and most likely insane panther named Ember as they try to find the Resistance. (See I was going... thread. We really want somebody else to join us on this thread)

And then there's Lycaella and Co. I have no idea what's going on with them except that they are doing stuff with the Elites and that's probably where the Shield stuff will start. (See Hello, it's me! thread)

There we go. That was long and probably poorly grammatically correct, but...it works. 

*blushes* The Story So Far thread in the Power of Claw isn't updated at all... I kind of got busy and put a pause on it for a while, and trying to start it up again has been hard. I just gave myself more and more to do in its absence, and I haven't yet sorted out what's okay to let go of for a while.

The war isn't done and won't be done for a very long time. I haven't been on nearly as much as I should. I think I'll go fix that last part now, if I can.
