[color=598527]Parvus[/color] ____ As Parvus walked, ocean water eventually gave way to land. Consumed by his thoughts, he did not notice immediately. He continued to walk to the western shore of the peninsula. He examined the barren region. He reached into the ground, grabbing a chunk of stone from it. With his hands, he molded into a stick. His travels eventually lead him to the southern-most point of the western shore of the peninsula. His thoughts were elsewhere, and he nearly began to shape the earth before his eyes glanced back to the rock stick he was carrying. His eyes turned to the ocean, eating away at the rocky shore. He cast his thoughts of war and destructive gods away so that he could focus on the task at hand. He imbued the rock stick he was carrying with life and tossed it into the ocean. When it landed, it began to grow into a mangrove tree. It rooted itself into the shallows, and as it did, more of its kind sprouted. He took a leaf from his hand, crushed it into dust, and threw his fist into the ground. The rocky surface gave way to mud. As soon as the ground softened, grasses appeared over it. Reeds, mangroves, and other salt-tolerant plants grew within the marsh. Waves broke against the roots of the mangrove trees, but the ocean water still flowed into the muddy ground. The insect god felt his energy wane, and he grew physically tired. With the remaining vestiges of power, he conjured animals from the mud. Insects, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and birds emerged from the waterlogged landscape. He examined his newly formed marsh briefly. He then began to walk towards the Fel Isles, slower than usual. While his mind was preoccupied with thought, his foot dipped behind the water. He shrugged this off and eventually walked into his garden. Laying under his apple tree, he contemplated. [hider=Summary] Before (0MP/4FP) Current (0MP/0FP) -2FP Minor Landscaping -2FP Small Ecosystem, the Salt Marsh After his encounter with Asceal, Parvus becomes even more consumed in his thoughts. He travels to Atohhekwoi, and as he is walking and thinking, begins to plan out an ecosystem. Distracted by his thoughts, he nearly turns the ground to mud, before having something to prevent it from washing into the ocean. He focuses on the task at hand and creates the salt marsh. After filling the salt marsh with animals, he is tired and sluggish. He returns to his place under his apple tree and contemplates how to proceed. [/hider]
