The Second of the aeternalist angels, Sachitel had always resented her position as such, as though chronology makes her less valuable than the first. Everything she did is "second," from her rediscovery of Classical Thaumaturgy to her empire, the Second Aeternal Society. In the convoluted mythology of Aeternalism, Sachitel was assigned the role of "consort." Yet the writer of these myths, the sixth angel Sydiah, placed herself at the apex. The second angel resents her for this. The first angel, Zaphenim does not seem worthy of the rank. His thirst for power was foolhardy. For Sachitel is not worth mentioning the others, the timid one or the boisterous twins. Sachitel felt as though she were just one part of a set, reduced from the most cursed woman in history, empress of an arm of the galaxy, bane of Eos, to a deuteragonist.

Sachitel's reign of terror began in 1487 CE, by the traditional calendar. She recognized no such calendar, centered on Eos' rotation. She lead armies of magi and crushed so-called "civilizations." Their trinkets and spacecraft rendered trivial by raw magical might. When she entreated The Benefactor, that ancient spirit gave her the greatest army of magi the universe had ever seen, all Tannjens transfigured through some unknowable method. Her army looted worlds as far as Florathel, shoveling a great deal of their loot into The Benefactor's maw as payment. When it was satisfied, Sachitel's campaign ramped up further.

Without an understanding of physics, she gathered philosophers and wise men. She wanted to create a garden for herself, a proper monument. They advised her, and over decades, her magi hurled comets at Zushilo. They brought in billions of slaves to purify the poisonous soil and their dead bodies nourished it. Compasses functioned on Zushilo which the wise men said made it a good candidate for terraformation. Indeed, Zushilo remains inhabitable to this day, but Sydiah turned Zushilo, Sachitel's crowning achievement and earliest terraformed planet in the modern era, into her capital. Sydiah's empire, Sedrua, had their mark all over it. All the wars they put it through, all the bombardment they couldn't stop, all the development that paved over Sachitel's world. She'd have rather never returned to see it in this state.

Sachitel was one of seven individuals that Octarch Eleleth resurrected using the Anabasis Engine in 9637 CE. Though her memories were unclear, as they were sourced mostly from the collective unconscious, she had no experience cooperating. Since a very young age, her every command was said to have been from God. Disagreeing meant death, so there was no difference even if Sachitel hardly felt holy herself. What she felt as she emerged onto that stage, Eleleth examining her and commenting in his grating Zythyn voice, was small. Thaumaturgy had advanced by leaps and bounds—Eleleth would have been perhaps a low-ranking officer in her magus army, but his technique was so refined that he could do as he pleased to any of them. She felt small, not inferior, but younger somehow. Eleleth was overjoyed when Sachitel lashed out at him because of this—immediately he subdued her as the crowd cheered.

Sachitel trained hard, but modern thaumaturgy did not come easily to her. Zaphenim grew immensely powerful, however. One day, he sat down in Eleleth's office and reclined. He ruled Aurothiya since that day, atomizing anyone that had anything to say about it. Sachitel slipped into her role as consort and got some amusement watching her "peers" squirm under Zaphenim's thumb. When he decided that Aurothiya was not enough, he began picking fights with surrounding nations. He got the war he wanted when the Confederacy of Borealis and the Imperator's Church declared war. The resulting War of the Ancients was a chance for Zaphenim to fight the greatest magi of the age, though many more went after Sachitel and the others much to his dismay. Sachitel nearly perished several times. During Aylathiya's Ignominy, Zaphenim started taking on the greatest spirits of the age, leaving Sachitel to rule in his place. He came back, bloody and missing limbs, and Sachitel smiled down on him.

Sachitel was later arrested, though she put up quite the fight. Imperatrix Lorelei Avana-Drusus sentenced Sachitel with one count of treason, thirty counts of war crimes, and one count of sexual assault. That last one puzzled Sachitel until she realized Zaphenim must not have died after all. She wondered if they'd give Zaphenim the same charges.

"A funny thing this modern society is," were her last words. She got the usual treatment for treason, a scorching hot replica of The Imperator's Crown. Since the Imperator contained a powerful spirit within, that of Mars, they could withstand its immense weight. Fifty-thousand Kilograms bared down on Sachitel's head and neck. She had the worst fate for traitors executed by this method, strong enough for the crown to slowly sink rather than to crash down like a guillotine. Though it was over quite quickly.

-''Sachitel's limbs were scorched and singed upon contact with the otherworldly membrane. Recoiling in a sort of fear, she saw her hand melt before her eyes. Her ebbing, bony hand gave way to her Aeternal essence. Moving back to mend her wrist, The first Mother stared at the membrane with an estranged curiosity. Her face contorted to a contempt grimace as she scolded the [[Sinister#The High Warlock|mass]] in front of her. How could she have received such harm from a mindless creature? Left hand springing back to life, Sachitel's attention shifted back to the chimera's skull. She would never pass on the opportunity to take its Aeternal Energy, much like how she wrung dry a [[Ivory|previous firmament]].''

-''Worried over her now gory body, she moved her body back and protected her hand as much as she could. Stretching an arm out high, Sachitel sunk it back into the fiery organism. Jolts of pain somehow shot through her body, as if her very spirit was corrupting. Like boiling water, Sachitel's very form evaporated in the face of the High Warlock. The light scarred her face and she cowered in agony. Pained, divine screeches rang across Cosmoria as Sachitel squirmed to remove her arm. Feelings of regret and shame flooded over the Angel's mind as her hand tore clean from her now stubbed arm. A cauterized, necrotic gash crawled its way up her body, stopping only upon the boom of the raspy, primeval voice.''

-''The timeless membrane shimmered with a great red sheen and drummed like a beating heart before becoming as black as the space around it. Sachitel could not help but feel like a child in the wake of her new revelation. Looking down at her left arm, she saw a new six-fingered appendage. More so, it was by the hilt of a zealous Amaranth sword. The length of the blade was inscribed with a strange yet familiar text. It read as so:''

Everything she did is "second," from her rediscovery of [[Classical Thaumaturgy]] to her empire, the [[Second Aeternal Society|''Second'' Aeternal Society]]. In the convoluted mythology of [[Aeternalism]], Sachitel was assigned the role of "consort." Yet the writer of these myths, the sixth angel [[Sydiah]], placed herself at the apex.

-|image1=Sachitel.png}}The Second of the [[Angels]], '''Mother Sachitel''' taunts her brothers and sisters high above the caste of her kind. [[Mother Sydiah|Sydiah]] and [[Father Zaphenim|Zaphenim]] are the only contenders, and they are fools at that. Sydiah became the Empress by mere chance, barely able to wrangle an unstable, dying nation for power. Her idiocy is what spurred its downfall as well. On the other hand, Zaphenim is an arrogant brute of strength. His recklessness for power nearly ended his life before it even started. Purposefully subsuming your own plane into the [[Lux Aeterna|Aeterna]] does not bode well for tact after all. The timid one, [[Mother Ohko|Ohko]], isn't worth Sachitel's time while the two renegades [[Father Rinayo|Rinayo]] and [[Father Isayo|Isayo]] are but eyesores. In her eyes, Mother Sachitel is the peak of her peers, the only example of a pure [[Spirits|Aeternaborne]].
-Despite the rivalry with her peers, Sachitel remains by their side. To a degree, Sachitel does respect her Angelic brothers and sisters. In her eyes however, she is simply better. Besides, Sachitel always has disdain for those who are not her siblings or subjects. What else could there be to love besides squishy slaves or her family? In the end, Sachitel is staunch believer in the Angels' divine right to rule. A perfect future being one where the Aeterna is cherished, understood, and revered by all.
-According to Sachitel, Aylathiya's societies are hardly societies at all. Nay, they are but arbiters of the galaxy's downfall, wringing dry its remaining resources. Barbarians, she believes, triumph over Aylathiya like a festering plague, performing naught but incessant infighting. It is up to her to show them what '''true''' living is, returning to the way of the [[Hedonist Worlds]] and connecting Aylathiya once and for all. The best way for mortals is to live off hedonistic fantasies, where they can be out of the way from the ones above them.
-Its known that Sachitel is conspiring with Sydiah, working to eliminate one of the latter's [[Vurilia Jutopati|last remaining children]]. In fact, every child of an Angel is a flawed being to her. She believes the children of the Angelic elite are nothing more than tools of the gods, pawns to be used as they see fit. As she kicks back and enjoys her paradise, these children should be building statues and palaces, not ruling by her side. Their immense defects bring them down to mortal levels, reducing them to blabbering, manipulative bastards. Some of them are [[Thaumaturgy#Thaumic Illness|literally insane]], devising their [[Sedrua-Triumvirate War|schemes]] on the fly without any thought given to the consequences. Sachitel believes this is why they can never truly understand her vision; they are not worthy of it.
-=='''Origin of the Angel'''==
-Sachitel's rage for the wider Cosmos is derived by her own mistakes. At some point, she toyed and even respected individual mortals, placing far too much mental work into polishing their lives. Upon the Aylathiya's unification, she bid her people farewell and took to the skies, touring Cosmoria. For thousands of years Sachitel bore witness to incredible sights, feeling small yet somehow grand in the universe. Untamed wilds were all that surrounded Aylathiya at the time, untainted by the hands of anyone, a type of paradise she genuinely forgot. Returning to Aylathiya one last time, Sachitel sojourned across many nameless worlds and constructed varying monuments, messages, and vacant "cities" of stone and iron. Reveling in the power of creation one last time, she sat, pondered, and partook in her own pleasures for several ages.
-What followed was less of an itch and more of a gnawing sensation. It didn't matter how long Sachitel waited. The desire to create, build, and craft never ceased. She stood at a mental crossroads. On one hand, she already left the mortals to their own toils. Her purpose was complete. On the other hand rested the thought of endless creation. What said she needed to stop, after all? Sachitel took to the stars and gazed upon a peculiar, [[Sinister|crimson domain]]. Maybe she could create there, in private.
-Innocently following her senses like a curious child, Sachitel stumbled into a realm of past sins. A strange landscape of colossal, dark crystal ligaments coated the entire world like a scratchy, unruly blanket. Curiosity now piqued, Sachitel advanced. On the crystal sphere, Sachitel found herself lost. There were no landmarks, no roads, and certainly no signs of habitation. Sachitel continued onward though, following her intuition as she always did. She ceased however, upon hearing the nettlesome voice of something.
-'''''"You are lost. Not even one as high as you can find a new purpose. Like a caged animal."'''''
-Sachitel looked around. No one was there. Then again, Sachitel was prone to tricks of her old mind. Age did not bode her well these days. A loud intrusive thought? Sachitel turned to her true feelings and confirmed that she was just playing tricks on herself. She ought to return to the Aeterna one day, to soothe and heal herself. Sitting down, Sachitel looked across this world with a lack of interest. What even drove her here in the first place? There was a soft, subliminal tug to this most strange of worlds. She figured it was her curiosity but once she thought about it, she realized that it was not her own doing. Perhaps this world had an entity like her in the midst? There was a deep, nagging feeling as if the back of her head was being gazed at.
+Sachitel's reign of terror began in 1487 CE, by the traditional calendar. She recognized no such calendar, centered on Eos' rotation. She lead armies of [[Magi (Cosmoria)|magi]] and crushed so-called "civilizations." Their trinkets and spacecraft rendered trivial by raw magical might. When she entreated [[The Benefactor]], that ancient spirit gave her the greatest army of magi the universe had ever seen, all [[Tannjens]] transfigured through some unknowable method. Her army looted worlds as far as [[Florathel]], shoveling a great deal of their loot into The Benefactor's maw as payment. When it was satisfied, Sachitel's campaign ramped up further.

-Aghast, Sachitel stood and yelled back, irritated at the interloper. How dare it try to bribe her? How dare it?

She felt small, not inferior, but younger somehow. Eleleth was overjoyed when Sachitel lashed out at him because of this—immediately he subdued her as the crowd cheered.
-"Whatever you think you are, you're not my ally! Nor do I know you!" Sachitel shouted. "By extension, you don't know anything about me! My [[Father Zaphenim|father]] won't like you, and neither will my children! Leave me alone!" Sachitel exclaimed, ignoring the tug of her instinct.
+Sachitel trained hard, but modern thaumaturgy did not come easily to her. Zaphenim grew immensely powerful, however. One day, he sat down in Eleleth's office and reclined.

+Sachitel was later arrested, though she put up quite the fight.

That last one puzzled Sachitel until she realized Zaphenim must not have died after all. She wondered if they'd give Zaphenim the same charges.
-The feeling of being watched pierced through Sachitel's brain. Something physically hurt inside of her and she didn't know how. She wasn't made of anything ''corporeal'' per se. Boiled down she was the ultimate conglomeration of the Aeterna's energy. How did she feel something so foreign? Sachitel refused to give in. She couldn't. That would be foolish. Ignoring it was all Sachitel could do.
+"A funny thing this modern society is," were her last words. She got the usual treatment for treason, a scorching hot replica of [[Imperator (Cosmoria)#Crown|The Imperator's Crown]].

-'''''"I have been watching you for millennia, Miss Sachitel. Turn your back and you will deny your destiny. Face me now and I'll walk you down your true path. The Aeterna will be pleased."'''''
-Steadfast and mentally sound, Sachitel stood straight and turned her eye.
