[hider=Small Collab: Escre and Arguis] The Astral Home, the core in which not only allowed life to grow and flourish, but collected the souls of the dead. It's roots extending from the center of Galbar to the outer limits called the surface. Arguis floated inside the core in which Escre called his home. He glanced around, there was not much to it, but it severed it's purpose well. Arguis would have to remember to have his people collect the liquid from the Fountain of Life, if one ever happened to appear.

Before Arguis could become even more engrossed in the functions of the Astral Home, Escre awoke. Arguis was in his sanctuary, it would be crazy to assume that anyone could sneak here.  ”Why are you here?” Escre said, his voice seemed to be coming from all angles, the place vibrated enough to create ripples in the liquid core. Arguis held up his hand, the one in which carried hundreds as dragon eggs. "Escre, I ask for you assistance. I wish to, change these dragons, reprogram them before they can be born. " He said, his face deadpan. To Arguis, this was serious, being the god of life, Escre had the ability to modify spirits. By destroying the awareness that they possessed for their father, he could have then hatch loyal to him. "Dragons pose a problem to all of us, they are extremely powerful, trust me, I would know. " He said jokingly, with a small grin on his face. 

The joke, like the explanation preceding it, moved the Great Spirit little.  [color=696969]"Dragons,"[/color] it reverberated, as if attempting to ascertain the exact definition of the word merely by intoning it, [color=696969]"A problem.  Powerful.  Power is the ability to change things.  Life has power.  Life is the domain of Escre.  Dragons are life.  Thus: no dragon is a problem for Escre."[/color] White energy arced around the warden's body in a silvery stream and coalesced into the shape of a scythe.  [color=696969]"If dragons threaten 'all of us', they will be removed, for the edict of our gods are immutable.  We are tasked with creation; any and all creations that would decimate creation threaten our purpose.  Your plan fascinates me.  The Astral Home is powerful.  If it died, the planet would die, quicker than fire could burn it or claws could scar it.  Yet you do not wish to change that.  Why would you trust an outsider over Sauranath?"[/color]

Arguis listened to Escre's rebuttal, and not to the surprise of Arguis, it proved to be positive. Escre had giving him a compelling, yet simple question. The Astral Home was the catalyst that gave this plant a heart beat, if that heart beat were to be destroyed, then it would result in a chain reaction, ultimately destroying the planet and everyone on it. His argument was compelling, the Astral Home could end the world much quicker than the dragons could. That was the problem, dragons were extremely powerful as he mentioned before. Under the ruler ship of Sauranath, who was hard to read under normal circumstances, his power could destroy everything that they worked so hard to create. "I have knowledge of many timeliness, branching out in different directions depending on the choices we make. One, I like to call the Dragons Bane, has us going through with this plan, and utilizing Sauranath's own children against him, subduing him and putting him in a state of inactivity. Uniting all dragons under the rule of someone other than Sauranath, someone much more trustworthy. The other, shows Sauranath utilizing his massive  army of children, and sweeping through the planet, destroying everything in their way. They will eventually reach the Astral Home, and you will have to make a descion." Arguis said grimly. "There are hundreds of other possibilities that I have knowledge of, but those are the greatest. I trust you because, I know you." Arguis said with a grin, taping his temple. The whole explanation Arguis gave him was, a tall tale so to speak, with that, Arguis was finished, now it was up to Escre to accept.

The idea of timelines synergized with Escre slowly at best.  What Arguis claimed was knowledge of the future, and though his omniscience could not be denied, to be so sure of events yet to occur struck the warden as insubstantial and arrogant.  To look into the infinite array of possibility that was the future, make a bold prediction, and call it fact, seemed to Escre like pointing a finger into the sky during the day and declared 'that-away lies a star'.  Somewhere in the universe a star's position almost certainly coincided with the indicated location, but still, such a feat was more guessing than knowing.

[color=696969]"Therein lies a false dichotomy.  No future, or pair of futures, can be absolute when something so small as crushing a single ant can change a future so drastically.  You will find no assistance in the corruption of another god's favorite creations from me.  Then again, you did not need me.  Your spirit sings the song of one unshakably self-centered, hungry for knowledge, hungry for control, and hungry for legacy.  Wakefulness at the time permitted me to hear the name of your continent.  Even though I have declined, you will proceed with your plan.  My assistance would simply have made your defilement easier."[/color]

Escre pointed its scythe at the exit tunnel offered by the Planet Core.  [color=696969]"Despite this you have earned no grudge from me.  If in the future we may conspire to create rather than corrupt, I would be more apt to render my aid.  Now, however, you must depart."[/color]

Escre's word did not come as a surprise to Arguis, his refusal as obvious as his blandness. His rebuttal did not affect Arguis in the slightest, celf-center and egotistical was far from Arguis. But in the universe that they lived in, they could not play around. Before they knew it, Kraken would be attempting to take over the world, Vestec by his side. Ferghus's loyalties would be divided by them all, which would ultimately lead to his death, in an attempt to stop the supply if arms. Although. Arguis's, prediction if the future was embellished, in an attempt to utilize the gods power, it was not all a lie.

"I thank you for taking time out to listen to me, I really do appreciate it." Arguis said, cutting of his statement short quickly. Their was no need to ask Escre for help on the matter any longer, he was not the only god who Arguis could get help from. Arguis took his leave, sling-shooting out of the Planetary Cord and into the sky. As he flew, he telepathicly contacted Ferghus. "Hello brother, as you may, or may not know, I am Arguis. Is their anyway we could speak face to face?" Arguis spoke and he plummeted straight down, not the slightest fazed by his situation. Unfortunately, and to his surprise, the second Arguis it the the cold, salty water, he was confused, he did not foresee that happening. He was not prepared to stop his decent, Maybe it was one of those things Arguis could not seen. Arguis glanced around, this was the ocean, is was as beautiful as it was dangerous. He was in the home of the Kraken, and Arguis simply shrugged, he decided he would take a look around, at least until Ferghus replied.
