[@Lmpkio] Dirka looked at her brother with a cheerful smile. [color=#9400D3]"And why is the Crusader all unhappy with me? I've gone and let you be! So listen up, chum! I got something, a gift of magic..."[/color] She spread her hands and butterflies and wisps flew through the air before dissipating. [color=#9400D3]"And knowledge. So quite being taut as a drum. Anu's got some of my college! Enough to cause harm, but not enough to cause alarm. And to counter, I've got a little trick for you to do, if you promise me something. If I reveal a [i]nasty[/i] secret to you, Iva, and Naswaru, will you A not judge me and B keep it secret from other gods? Pretty please?"[/color] She had a cute begging face and look, with two wisps doing something similar for extra effect. She was only a few feet away from his throne. [color=#9400D3]"It's only a small favor. And you'd have leverage over me! But I simply need someone to get it off my chest to, so...PPPllllleeeeaaasssseee?"[/color] [hr] Terzotz looked at the corpse. He gagged. [color=#808080][b]"No thank you, me'lord on the meal, but if you have no need of it, have an easier way to dispose of it. And thank you for returning my gem, lord. My conductor is right, some of the darker gods are the nicer ones.[/b][/color] He held the dark gem in between two shining claws. He looked at it greedily. [color=#808080][b]"Also expect a visit from my lady soon. She is giving gifts to her favorite siblings."[/b][/color] He admired the gem while waiting for the god's reply.
