The meeting with Nicholas had intrigued him, prompting Cadien to embark on a journey of his own. He would have to leave the humans behind for the time being, but so be it. Besides, the more devout amongst the species had already taken to praying to him - he could hear their thoughts and voices even when he was far away. They had proven to be a reliable source of information, even if that did mean answering the occasional inane question from time to time.

So, without further ado, the God of Perfection had travelled west, by way of massive leaps to propel himself over the vast distance. No doubt it was a strange sight to any observer, to see a strange white-haired human leap several dozen feet into the air, do a series of majestic flips and twirls, then land only to do the same thing again. But he made swift progress, carrying on regardless of time or weather.

He left the Highlands after a few days and found a vast plain, full of new life. He briefly wondered if this was the area Nicholas had referred to, before recalling that he had yeto cross a “large body of water.” 

So he carried on, jumping and leaping, until after several days he eventually came across a channel of water, with an island on the other side. He supposed that by Nicholas’s standards, this would be considered large enough to have trouble crossing.

Fortunately, Cadien was a god, so he simply continued leaping across, landing on the water as if it were solid ground before jumping again, until eventually he arrived on the island itself. It was a heavily wooded area, even more so than either of the two regions he had visited previously. At a glance, he could tell that nearly everything was damp, and especially resistant to fire. [color=violet][i]What would Evandra think of this place?[/i][/color] He thought to himself.

But Cadien himself had no real reason to dislike it, and so, he began to explore.

After a few days of exploration, Cadien found himself confused, and more than a little disappointed.

While the island held all sorts of new, exotic, and interesting types of life, he failed to find anything which made it inherently safer than the land Nicholas had been so determined to leave behind. Although it was day, he briefly glanced up at the sky, shaking his head disapprovingly at the ‘keeper of the stars’ who lurked somewhere up there. Then again, it could be possible that he had simply found the wrong place - perhaps Nicholas had lied about the directions, or left out some crucial detail?

Beyond possessing different scenery and some exotic creatures, there really wasn’t anything this place had to offer to be worth his time. It didn’t have any intelligent life, and there didn’t seem to be anything to the island beyond this one forest.

But as a god, he had the power to change that.

So, he did. 

Travelling to the island’s north, where the land was red and barren - seemingly too cold to support the rest of the forest - Cadien raised mountains from the ground, walling the entire region off. He sensed an unusual amount of heat beneath the earth, and that gave him another idea. He created pools of water - springs - positioning them in and at the base of the mountains. The largest of them all was in the very center; shallow at the edges, but gradually deepening to hundreds of feet as one came near the center.

They would be fed by rain, snow, and the mountains’ glaciers, but warmed by the heat from beneath the earth, providing comfort from the cold and crisp northern air. Grass then sprouted from the rest of the ground, along with some shrubs and even some especially hardy berry bushes and flowers. He populated the area with a number of small animals and insects, and even the Salamanders he had seen elsewhere on the island.

It was night by the time it was all over. Cadien sat down in one of his newly created hot springs, casting his gaze to the stars. Galbar was a vast world, and he had only seen a small portion of it. Where would he go after this? Back to the Highlands? Or should he continue exploring?

Then his gaze settled on the moon, and an idea came to him.

He decided he would go there, and so, on a whim, he began floating up to it. Yet his progress was to slow. Then, another idea occurred. 

He fell back to the ground and approached a nearby salamander. The creature hissed at him, but eventually he was able to calm it down enough for it to let him approach. He gently laid a hand on the back of the creature’s head… then, his power began to flow into the beast. Its scales turned to a dark purple, spikes jutted from its head, its eyes became like glowing amethysts, and a pair of wings sprouted from its back. 

Then, it began to grow - Cadien was forced to back away as it rapidly expanded toward him. It grew to be a hundred meters in length, with a wingspan that was twice that. The creature outstretched its wings, looked up to the sky, and roared - a sound that could be heard for miles. Then it looked down to Cadien expectantly.

The God of Perfection smiled. [color=violet]“Come now, my new companion. We have a sky to explore!”[/color]

[hider=Post Summary]
Cadien leaps his way across Toraan, pillarmen theme blaring all the way, until eventually he arrives in the Torchless Woods. He explores the area, before deciding to make a new ecosystem in the north: a volcanic tundra, surrounded by mountains, with several hot springs. He then contemplates the sheer size and scale of Galbar, before building a giant dragon to fly him to space.
