[center][h1][color=violet][b][u]Cadien[/u][/b][/color][/h1] & [h1][b][u]Sirius[/u][/b][/h1] [/center] Space was a vast frontier, yet aside from the occasional star or piece of debris, there was very little to obstruct a god’s sight. Aside from the moons, and Galbar itself, of course. So it didn’t take long for Cadien to locate Sirius. Spotting him hiding amongst the stars, the God of Perfection spurred his dragon onward, making a beeline for him. As the dragon flew forward, the celestial wrens began to fly towards the massive creature, their wing beats echoed through the hidden energies of the far reaches. As they did, Sirius slowly turned around and symbols floating around him slowly began to fade. [color=violet]“You there!”[/color] Cadien called out as he neared the figure, [color=violet]“would you be this ‘Keeper of the Stars’ I heard about?”[/color] “I am the sovereign of the stars, yes. You may call me Sirius, brother.” he stated calmly. He waved one of his hands, and the birds dispersed. A good thing too, for the dragon had begun to eye them with something resembling hunger in its eye. [color=violet]“Hmm… good to meet you, then!”[/color] Cadien greeted him. [color=violet]“My name is Cadien, God of Perfection and the Master of Mankind.”[/color] That ladder title had been made up on the spot, but sounded right. [color=violet]“I met one who called himself Nicholas, while I was on Galbar.”[/color] “Yes, he called out to the stars for aid, and I answered.” he responded. [color=violet]“Hmm… and you told him to go west… to cross a body of water, and find a new land where he would be safe, yes?”[/color] Sirius paused for a moment, “I revealed to him the location of a land I favored, and I gave him the ability to find it. It was across the ocean from where he was at.” Hmm… that was not how Nicholas had phrased it. So it seemed that the mortal had indeed failed to properly communicate his master’s directions. No matter. [color=violet]“Could I ask why?”[/color] Cadien questioned with a raised eyebrow. “I have plans for the region, but the reason is simple. He had fallen. He was about to surrender. He didn’t need a destination. He needed the journey.” Sirius answered. [color=violet]“Fallen, how?”[/color] Cadien asked. “Mortal life is fragile. They have strength, but do not fully comprehend how to harness it. He was restless, hungry, and thirsty. The elements would have taken him. I simply gave him the strength to stand.” he replied. [color=violet]“I am well aware that mortal life is fragile,”[/color] Cadien said, somewhat flatly. [color=violet]“I meant: what about this mortal made you favour him over any other?”[/color] “As I said, he invoked the stars. I intend to help other mortals, but I need time to prepare. There is also still much work to be done to preserve the stars.” the star god answered. [color=violet]“And what is it you are preparing for?”[/color] “I am creating a pattern, the Zodiac. It is to aid mortals understand the stars and themselves. However, the pattern requires symbols. I currently have five of the twelve symbols I require. I could assign the symbols to just anything, but that would be foolish. Such things are important.” Sirius replied, matter of factly, drawing the symbol of the whale, sheep, wren, kirin, and snake in the air. The Perfectionist furrowed his brow. [color=violet]“And you based these symbols off animals from Galbar? What do they represent?”[/color] “The pattern is incomplete, but they represent the six forces of the outer reaches and the six virtues of the stars, woven together. The whale is resilience, the sheep is the hidden push and pull between the stars, the wren is observance, the kirin is the stars undivided, and the snake is cunning.” he replied. [color=violet]“Hmm… and how does this benefit the mortals?”[/color] “One day, I intend for them to act with the virtues of the stars in order to manipulate the celestial forces, but they are not yet ready to handle such power. In addition, I am intending to better open their senses and to allow them to master their intuition, which is the riddle I am currently attempting to solve.” he answered. Cadien did not understand why the stars were needed for that, but decided not to question the strange god’s riddles further. [color=violet]“Hmph. Have you set foot on Galbar, yet?”[/color] “It is lovely is it not?” he answered. [color=violet]“It is indeed,”[/color] Cadien nodded. [color=violet]“Can I ask where precisely you have been?”[/color] “I have touched the grassland I have sent Nicolas too, and raised the Zodiac Stones there. It is an important touchstone for my future plans.” he replied. [color=violet]“I think you should spend more time down there,”[/color] Cadien suggested. [color=violet]“You’ll be surprised at how much you miss simply by observing from afar.”[/color] “I believe that I should.” Sirius replied. Cadien nodded. [color=violet]“It is good that you agree. These stars look nice, but I find mortals to be far more interesting. Now… would you have any questions for me, or shall I be on my way?”[/color] “Do you prefer the sea turtles, or the ones who live on land?” Sirius replied in his normal, soft tone of voice. [color=violet]“A strange question. I have yet to encounter any turtles who live in the sea, so I cannot say.”[/color] “Very well. I have no other questions.” Sirius replied. [color=violet]“Hmm… well, if you need creatures to base your symbols off of, consider this one,”[/color] Cadien suggested, patting his dragon on the head. [color=violet]“He’s one of a kind, and I’ve seen no creature that was mightier. On that note, I’ll be off.”[/color] And with those words, the dragon turned and began to fly away. [hider= Summary] After meeting with Gibbou, Cadien and his dragon fly to meet Sirius. They introduce themselves, and they talk about Nicolas and the Zodiac, and its purpose. Cadien asks if Sirius had been on Galbar, and Sirius avoids the question. Cadien opens himself to questions, to which Sirius asks if he prefers sea or land turtles. Cadien, confused, brags about his dragon and leaves. No Might Spent. [/hider]
