Proof that you don't need Vulamera to do [i]anything.[/i]

[b]"Your new creations are rather crude, Zephyrion-"[/b] Astarte turned toward her fellow God and shrugged after raising an eyebrow at him, [b]"They're like big Deepwoods animals."[/b]

[b][color=Gold]"Crude?"[/color][/b] he gushed back with an odd combination of joking indifference and contempt seeping into his tone. [b][color=Gold]"They are sublime! Masterpieces! Look at me, Astarte: I am no creator god. And yet I have still made these beings that are mighty and stout. In defiance of the wretched Vulamera, I also designed for them a grand intelligence using only my own wit and powers. What better way to ridicule the Foolish One and denounce her uselessness to nature itself than to take it upon myself to fulfill the void in responsibility that she leaves in her absence, and fulfill this role even better than she might?"[/color][/b]

Zephyrion's tirade was interrupted by that first being stooping down to find a rock and chew on it. Beneath the thing was a snake that lashed out in fear and bit the giant in the toe. The thing only stared stupidly down at it for several seconds, seemingly not even in pain, before stooping down to snatch up the snake and devour it as well.[/quote]
