Sirius reentered Antiquity. He had noticed the presence of many gods, and for the moment he didn’t want to involve himself with a crowd of gods. Glancing over the unfamiliar terrain, his sense fell over another portal which he quickly moved towards. He steeled himself, and passed through the portal. Immediately after entering the oceanic realm, he softly called out, his intention carried by divine will, “Hello… I am… Sirius. Is one of … kin of the lifeblood… present. There are matters … that should be discussed.” The primal vastness that was Klaarungraxus ascended from the inky depths towards Sirius. Six huge, glowing eyes lowered their gazes to properly see the deity for themselves. The many-minds of Klaarungraxus pinged back curiosity; its form was small and soft, like the children of those mortal races made by the more gentler gods. Bipedal and at least visibly endoskeletal, as Gibbou and many of the gods the Old Growth Below had spied on in antiquity. A fascinating, if readily limiting structure. [color=0054a6]”Tidings of currents soft and bountiful, Godling Sirius,”[/color] came the Great Devilfish’s reply, rumbling in Deepspeak that shuddered through Sirius’ mind, [color=0054a6]”We are thee who is Klaarungraxus, distant kin so strangely made. What matters hath found wriggling purchase in thine mind’s matter that requires our attentions?”[/color] Sirius responded, “Greetings … Klaarungraxus. There is the pressing … matter of our expulsion from Galbar. The pattern … it is incomplete.” [color=0054a6]”Pattern? With finite measures only so many rotations can be formed to match one another; what pattern doth thine refer?”[/color] Klaarungraxus seemed to sink inwards then, leaning towards Sirius in the depths of his realm with considerable curiosity coursing through his tentacles. “The Zodiac… The stars, they were without… order. I ensured that they would … be preserved. I finished most of the work. I just need to finalize it.. And make it accessible to the people of … Galbar.” Sirius replied, unnaturally still. The experience of being within this space was odd, and he considered if this is what Galbar’s ocean was like. Klaar stared at Sirius as the adolescent looking deity with curiosity; his mindseye turned to those glimmering points above the waters, hanging in the sky alongside the One-Good-Orb during the darkest nights. They were admirable things, admittedly, but Klaar had seen little time to truly admire them. [color=0054a6]”Zodiac? Stars? Hmmm. Preservation is unnecessary in all things, but needs of others always flow away from the needs of one. But . . . mortals will benefit, and thus, it must be made so; how might I assist?”[/color] “Firstly, considering our … banishment. I need to … inquire about means to circumnavigate it. Secondly, considering … mortals, I have created … a small region to draw celestial … energies to Galbar. I now require a … method of … spreading it across Galbar and making it so … that mortals can more readily access it.” Sirius replied. [color=0054a6]”Aaaah; it is solutions you seek. Worry not, four-limbed-kin, for I hath solutions to offer. With one tug I pulled forth mine limb and granted it a portion of my power. That small fraction of mineself traverses the realms far more freely than I; perhaps your limb separated could do the same? Or, something else, I imagine, would serve amply to thine goals.”[/color] “I thank you … for your wisdom.” Sirius stated. Sirius and Klaar had a long discussion about the nature of the zodiac and of deepspeak and telluric energies, and Sirius agreed to make a bridge between the zodiac stones and Ko, before formally dismissing him and returning to his realm [hider Summary] No Might Spent. Sirius and Klaar have a conversation, with Sirius acquiring information about their banishment and how to further progress the Zodiac. They talked, and then Sirius formally left before proceeding to return to his realm to create an avatar. [/hider]
