[b][color=gray]HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death[/color][/b][/center]

Hum had been so mischievously attempting to incite his sister Illias' emotions, but this incitation failed to hit its mark apparently. Illias' request had begun to soften his hold over Life, especially considering her push for Hum to hold Death's sway. He stayed silent a moment, feeling a momentous occasion coming as he listened to Amelia, and just as he was about to speak, Hum disappeared from Edenia.

It was in that moment that Hum suddenly felt anxious, nervous even, in the face of the [i]First Father[/i], whom he had never directly felt the presence of before. At least not seeming to look directly at the shadow God's face. He felt as if he were but a pebble of sand on a beach in comparison to the entire ocean. Was the [i]First Father[/i] angry with Hum's antics? Annihilation, it seemed, was in Hum's future at that moment.

Yet the [i]First Father[/i] seemed to eventually regard Hum with acceptance, closing the shadow God's hands over the dual orbs of Life and Death. It was at that moment that Hum felt an upwelling of something he couldn't quite name, and thus was transformed into [b][color=gray]HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death[/color][/b].

A moment later, [b][color=gray]HUM[/color][/b] was standing once more in what seemed to be Edenia. Confusion overcame him before he made the connection between his sister's request and his father's words, and an impulse flooded his senses. Taking up a meditative, floating posture, [b][color=gray]HUM[/color][/b] looked upon what was distinctly [i]his[/i] Realm, and smiled, uttering a simple name, [b]Sanctuary[/b].

And there he remained, meditating, considering the next course of action.
