Scanning the endless aisles of seats and masterful yet oppressive stonework, his look of awe slowly turned to one of a buzzing disappointment, [color=98ff98]“It’s so barren.”[/color] He looked down at his sandals, little sprouts of clover peeping under his footsteps. He gave the tiny plants a small smile, admiring their audacity to challenge the stone -- making a mere crack their home. He lifted his foot, a green pulse renewing the clover and edging more and more clovers to grow around it, until a small carpet of plants surrounded Illyd Dyll. With bright eyes he looked up at Cadien, [color=98ff98]“A good start, eh?”[/color] Cadien knelt down and quickly picked something up, just before the carpet of plants consumed it. The fragments of a clay doll, broken and smashed. [color=violet]“That goddess from before was carrying this, wasn’t she?”[/color] he asked in a mildly perplexed tone, as he mended the pieces back together, until the doll was once again whole. [color=violet]“Suppose she might want this,”[/color] he shrugged. Having nowhere to put it, he conjured forth a belt with a small pouch that he wrapped around his waist. Idyll’s smile faded only slightly, [color=98ff98]“Well nevermind, whatcha got there, friend?”[/color] [color=violet]“The Goddess from before. She was carrying this,”[/color] Cadien said as he deposited the item in his pouch. [color=violet]“Though, she doesn’t seem to be around any more. Probably went through another portal. No matter, I suppose. More of our kind seem to be emerging now.”[/color] Another jagged portal brought itself to their attention, mainly because a massive mound of what appeared to be fur was forcing its way through, far greater in size than the tiny tear. The fur pile swiveled, two pinkish knobs at the end of its vaguely elliptical shape twitching like mad, and a pair of violet orbs manifested at the rear of the mass. It was only when the lower half of the mound scraped open, full of pointy white cones, that they realized they weren’t looking at a mound of fur at all, but rather a massive, bat-like face. [color=Maroon] “Greetings. It appears my head is stuck.”[/color] [color=98ff98]“Well how do you like that?”[/color] Illyd Dyll gawked, instinctively setting his bag down. A few apples rolled out and the God quickly scooped up one in each hand, [color=98ff98]“How bout a lil snack for the stuck?”[/color] [color=Maroon]“Well,”[/color] the head rumbled, its purple eyes rolling around, surveying the two gods and the coliseum around them, [color=Maroon]“I am not typically one for herbivorism, but given the circumstances, I think a snack would be rather nice.”[/color] The mouth, which was easily as wide as Illyd Dyll was tall, opened as far as it could, releasing the stench of copper around the arena. With a soft ‘hup!’ Illyd Dyll carefully tossed the apples in, one after the other -- before pulling out two more apples, [color=98ff98]“Care for more, friend?”[/color] [color=violet]“Could you perhaps assume a smaller form?”[/color] Cadien asked, stepping forward. [color=Maroon]”Each time I try, the sides of my head get stuck deeper into the rift. Perhaps we could widen it? Surely that is within the abilities of us three.” [/color] Something caught Illyd’s eye as the two others began to talk, causing the curious God to wander off, bag dragging behind him. Cadien meanwhile, stepped forward to the side of the rift. He wedged his hands between the bat’s fur and the portal’s edge, then leaned back and pulled with all his might. The rift widened the smallest bit, softening around his fingers and palms as he tugged, going almost buttery beneath them. The bat shook his head like a dog drying its fur, spraying them both with clumps and clumps of fine brown fur. A single heave, and the head disappeared. Moments passed, the portal sparking and bubbling where it had been forced wider, and through it tumbled a much smaller god, this one red and wearing a great deal of gothic black and silver. He rolled to his feet, patting his fluffy hair back into place. The god’s features were a bit too pointy to be considered perfect by Cadien, but he’d be damned if he said the bat god didn’t have the best pair of mutton chops Cadien had ever seen. The god extended a clawed, scaly black hand in welcome. [color=Maroon]“I call myself Fe’ris. Many thanks for your help.”[/color] Cadien shook his head. [color=violet]“Not a problem! I’m Cadien. Quick question: do you, by any chance, recall living on a world called Galbar?”[/color] He tapped a talon against his chin, the silver markings across his body pulsing thoughtfully. [color=Maroon] “Galbar, Galbar…. It does sound familiar. But it’s been so long since I’ve seen anything other than myself, I cannot say I recall much about anything else. Why do you ask?” [/color] [color“I’m trying to figure out how much you remember,”[/color] Cadien explained. [color=violet]“I’ve met at least two gods who were hit hard by the separation. I think. It’s possible they were always like that, but if my mind is still fine and theirs aren’t, that’s a bit strange.”[/color] [color=Maroon] “I will admit, the passage of time has not been kind to me. It is likely a result of my own behavior that has caused my memory to fail me. Though it does make sense to me, that some gods would be hit harder than others. Have you met more of our siblings?”[/color] He cocked his head, russet hair bushing out more. [color=Maroon] “Like Iternis? Or Tekret? Gibbou?”[/color] His skin was already red, but it looked to Cadien that he might’ve been blushing. [color=violet]“Gibbou?”[/color] Cadien’s own eyes widened. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=031vKBPk5eA]There was a name he had not heard in a long, long time.[/url] [color=violet]“N-not that I know of. I hope she’s coming here. I mean-”[/color] He was interrupted by the sounds of crying and yelling from the other side of the arena. Another deity had emerged. Cadien’s head turned. [color=violet]“That… that’s her right now.”[/color] [hr] [hider=Post Summary] Cadien and Illyd show up in Antiquity. Cadien picks up Tree-Shaquiloneal and brings the fallen soldier back from the dead, before shoving him in a pocket. Then Fe’ris in his massive form attempts to poke his head through the portal, but gets stuck. Illyd gets distracted and wanders off, while Cadien helps widen the portal so Fe’ris can get out. Cadien tries to find out what Fe’ris remembers of Galbar, then he name-drops Gibbou. Almost on cue, Gibbou emerges from her own portal. [/hider] [hider=Might Summary] No Might spent. [/hider]
