“Pfft!” Astus nearly choked as he drank a glass of tasty saltwater, “What the hell is this? It tastes so good! Nothing like the crappy tasteless water we had before. Damn, we really have to meet this new colleague of ours, Astus. Salt was their name, don’t forget.” Astus reminded himself, crushing the glass in his hand and throwing the debris into the deep waters below him. “Y’hear that, Water God? You better learn from your junior and try to put some spices into your water. How else do you expect us to be able to eat it?” 

There was no response for a while. 

“Hey! I saw that, that wave looked kind of angry. Don’t you throw that attitude at me just because I’m telling the truth, Water.”

After another while, Astus shook his head with a smug grin on his face. “Listen, if you’re going to act so stuck up, then I’m out of here. BYE BYE!” He said and flew away

Astus was flying through the skies absent-mindedly until he flew face first into a cloud. Curious, he opened his mouth and took in a big mouthful of the gas. He chew into it, then swallowed, and then groaned. “Why the FUCK is everything made of water?! This one isn’t even salty like the one below, it just tastes like old, crappy, insipid water! Astus, mark our words, no one shall be forced to eat crappy water in our presence. NO ONE.” He declared and spit a glob of liquid flames down towards the ocean.

That’s when the very fabric of reality threatened to tear and he found himself falling down into that same ocean with a stone-cold face of exasperation. 

Minutes later, after resurfacing, he realized that it had been the birth of two of his colleagues that had caused the ruckus. He’d give them a piece of his mind later for sure.

Couple days later, Astus found himself staring at the same molecule of water for an untold amount of time, sitting mid-air on an invisible stool and drooling his liquid flames into the ocean. After a few more long hours, he poked the molecule and watched it come apart into its base elements. “Neat. You’re wondering what would happen if you did this to something more complex, aren’t you Astus?” he asked himself, to which there was no response as he sighed. 

“We should one hundred percent get a bottle of wine…” Astus sighed, then perked up and shook his head. “Huh? Where did that come from? The hell is wine, even?”

Astus watched as a massive explosion made Galbar tremble and shake. He saw the kilometric waves that spawned from it, and after having one smack him in the face, he floated mid air with his brow furrowed. “Copycats, huh? We did make the coolest entrance, so this was to be expected… Well, you know what they say, Astus. Flattery is the greatest form of imitation…” 

“...Aaand, that crater might come in useful for an operation or two in the future.”

“Wow, that IS a pretty big tree, huh.” Astus said as he admired the massive tree that had just sprouted on Galbar. Slowly, his signature grin came back as he closed his eyes and nodded to himself, arms crossed. “Yes, yes, the branches will be a good source of wood after we figure out how to easily reach the branches.”

“WOOO! Now that’s what we’ve been waiting for! Yeeeah baby!” Astus cheered, flying in loops as he watched the creation of land. Numerous times he repeated the name of his favourite colleague, Voligan, under his breath so as to not forget it. After the deed was done, he immediately made his way onto the fresh land and laughed as his feet touched proper ground for the first time in his existence.

He laughed and laughed until he fell to the ground and tears of (very hot, flaming) mirth gathered at the corners of his eyes. Then, after calming down, he fell asleep with those same tears trailing down the sides of his face.

When he woke up, the ground was covered in grass and shrubs and trees had grown around him. Fruits of all sizes and shapes and colours grew from the flora and he was assaulted by scents he had never smelled before. It was glorious! 

“Oh lord, we are going to have a GOOD time now that we have more than just crappy water!” 

As soon as he woke up, he explored the land. He tasted, smelled, saw, touched and listened to all that he could find, until he settled for a spot located at the base of a mountain. There, with his hands, he dug an alcove and built a sturdy chair out of rock (it was literally just a rock, he didn’t actually build anything). That would be his base of operations, his headquarters. He would bring progress to the world from his seat of power and ensure that a lot of cool things would see the light of day.

Now, he just needed people to do the dirty work for him.

[hider=Summary]Astus just does Astus things. This is a compilation of his reactions to the events that happened after he made his entrance. Towards the end, he’s set up a soon-to-be base of operations at the base of a mountain.[/hider]
