After his little stunt last time, she certainly had no reason to trust him ever again. Niciel was certainly unwilling to accept the invite in case of a possibly disastrous face-to-face meeting, but with the mention of Slough needing help, she couldn't bring herself to say no. Even so, it took her a while to finally come to accepting it and teleporting to the Deadwood Sepulchre. A number of Gods and Goddesses had already arrived, whether by Avatar or in person. There was Jvan's Eye and Astarte's lingering essence, and Niciel could even feel Vowzra's powerful essence coming from the cocoon of bark, suggesting that he had appeared as well. One quick look at the cocoon was enough for Niciel to tell that there was no need for her to help Slough now. She couldn't even tell if Slough was actually inside the coffin, but considering the nature of the situation, Niciel doubted that there could be anything else inside it. However, even though there was no need to help Slough, Niciel felt bad for the deer goddess. Niciel realized that she had been spending too much time on her own problems with the Angels, so much that she had neglected the other Gods and Goddesses to the point of nearly forgetting a number of them existed. Niciel intended to make up for it, at least a little, by helping out in her own way. Raising an upturned hand, Niciel concentrated her power, creating six green Life Wisps that revolved in her palm, all of them more powerful than the ones Niciel had at the Nice Mountains. Then, Niciel drew from each of the orbs a bit of power and created the Orb of Life. Were it not for Vowzra's barrier, Niciel would have given the Orb of Life to Slough immediately. Despite that, though, Niciel had an idea. Placing the Orb of Life on top of the cocoon, Niciel created a barrier of her own around it, weaker than Vowzra's, but definitely powerful in its own right. It would fade almost immediately when Slough would be freed, and the Life Wisps would present it to Slough as a gift. Niciel pondered the idea further, wondering if it could be perfected further to ensure that it would not go awry, and decided to call upon a few nearby Wisps to ensure that the barrier would hold until the time was right. The Life Wisps would revolve around Vowzra's cocoon, waiting for the time to come, while the other Wisps would revolve around Niciel's barrier that held the Orb of Life, ensuring that it would hold and alert Niciel through the Orb of Escry should something go horribly awry. Satisfied, Niciel looked at the cocoon one last time before returning to the Nice Mountains in a flash of light. [hider=Summary] -Niciel wonders if it is a good idea to trust Vestec's message, and eventually decides to come. -Niciel arrives, a little late to the party, but there all the same, and notices the other Gods and Goddesses that had come (and left) the Deadwood Sepulchre. -Niciel comes to the conclusion that the cocoon Vowzra has made for Slough is enough for Slough, but still decides to help in her own way. -Niciel creates 6 powerful Life Wisps and an Orb of Life as a gift for Slough (-8 Might, 1 Might per Wisp and 2 Might for the Orb), and creates a barrier to house it in until Slough leaves the cocoon and/or the cocoon disappears on its own (-8 Might). -Niciel calls upon a few normal Wisps to safeguard the barrier, and Niciel finally leaves.
