[center][h1][color=gray] Tribulations III [/color][/h1][/center] [center][h2][color=gainsboro]Death[/color]+[color=cyan]Keyla[/color][/h2][/center] Desious spoke calmly to those gathered. [color=gainsboro]"There is no need to reveal ourselves, not yet at least. There will be a time for that revelation but not now. There are bigger problems that I need you to understand first before we go any further. I'll be blunt with you all however, something has changed for the worse and your release from exile was not my intention, but now I see it might have been a necessary incident. One happy thing perhaps." [/color]He paused letting them digest the information before continuing to address their individual questions. First he turned to Goehearth, [color=gainsboro]"Your children are not yet with me, though I cannot locate them exactly, I know they still live. Perhaps you should ask Stjerne for some assistance?"[/color] Desious then turned towards Stjerne, [color=gainsboro]"Careful friend, it seems to me that all of you are receiving your power back at different rates, I would not be surprised if there was already some Gods at full strength. It heartens me to see you helping them already, but as Zencrux has stated, do not overdue yourself right now or you will never fully get your powers back I fear."[/color] Stjerne would see that Desious made no comment on his star problem. Death paused once more, out of the corner of his eye he saw the girl began to stir. Good. He turned back to the others, [color=gainsboro]"Worry not of the Dark gods save one, Huseror. His evil machinations go back before you lot, to a time when your parents were yet young. Your parents contained him but I caught a glimpse once, in a time of cruelty, but I will say no more of that. We should be cautious, he will be plotting."[/color] Now for the question of the hour, why had he locked them out? Would they understand? He turned to Brod, [color=gainsboro]"My dear god of Creation, I have watched your works grow and live and for that pleasure I thank you. Now as for your question..[/color] Fog suddenly erupted around them, cutting Desious off in the process, he heard a gust of wings and then a loud thump of a landing. Someone had arrived. As quickly as the fog came, it left in a gust of unseen wind and standing before the party was Hiraga, and Fiala. Death had wondered how long it would take her to arrive, she was probably most upset with him, save one. He had a small hope that she would understand, but she cared about the planet far more then those who lived upon it. [color=gainsboro]"Hiraga, Fiala, welcome my dears. I am sure, like these fine fellows, you have questions for me. Perhaps now would be a good time to leave to a more, appropriate location?"[/color] --- Keyla stirred, her head was pounding, had she hit her head? She remembered... She remembered a monster! She quickly sat up, there was no monster just a group of men talking, but the old man- No, Death, was still there. She caught half of the conversation, something about a man plotting. That couldn't be a good. She slowly stood up, not knowing what to do. She noted that the aurora was till overhead, then fog enveloped the area and she heard a large gust, then the ground shook as if something had landed. Her eyes grew wide once more, had the monster returned? She backed up slowly, but what came from the quickly dispersing fog, was not a monster but two women. One looked somewhat normal with blue hair, the other was... Exotic? She looked like she belonged in a book, but one word came to mind, a Dryad. Then Death spoke again, welcoming Hiraga and Fiala. That was their names. Death said they needed to go to a more suitable location, but where would a group of people like them go? Keyla was still in a state of shock at all of this. These people looked like humans, but somehow she knew they weren't. Should she trust herself or run? Well, if she was going to run, it was now or never. But her legs once again failed her, and she stumbled and fell on the pavement with a loud umph. [@Forsythe][@Kazemitsu][@GrizzTheMauler][@Dealdric][@mercenarius]
