The ring had been secured.

Well, as secure as a ring of loose ice, stone, and salt could be, floating in a vast empty void through which any god like himself could freely roam.

But it would do.

He needed a place. A place where there would always be shade against the sun. The sun was his creator's creation, and no doubt one his creator did not wish for him to interfere with. But this was not interference. It was merely a shelter. A shield. One that ultimately only covered a small portion of the world. Besides, there was beauty in darkness. His maker had to understand that. Otherwise there would be two suns, or the world would have been flat.

It was time to get to work.

He shifted into the inky black mass, and then began to expand himself along one section of the ring, filling the gaps in between the chunks. Then, he focused. A wave of black energy shot down the ring, generating a field of darkness down the entire length, and extending a fair bit beyond the ring's actual width as well.

This field served a dual purpose. The first purpose was to serve as a tether between the chunks of the ring, so that they could not be easily ripped away. The second purpose, however...

The second purpose was to serve as a shield against the sun. At night-time, there would be no difference; allowing the moon and the stars to remain visible. When the sun rose over a section of the ring, however, the shield would activate, and blot out its light. The heat and the energy would still be allowed to slip through, so that the vegetation below would not wither and die, but most of the light would be stopped. The sun itself would remain visible, but as a pale orange rather than a bright yellow fire; no brighter than the moon itself. This would in turn allow the stars to remain visible as well.

Constant night. And one that would not be completely without light, nor deprive the world of the sun's heat. Yes, that seemed fair.

[color=black][b]"I name this the Black Ring,"[/b][/color] he announced, to no one in particular.

Satisfied with his work in the sky, Zelios finally descended down to Galbar.

There was other work to be done.

[hider=Post Summary]
Zelios enchants Galbar's ice/salt/rock ring that has formed along Galbar's equator, and decides to name it the Black Ring. It is basically a ring of a black gas-like substance, with chunks of ice and rock floating in it.

The Black Ring has two functions. The first function is to fix the ring's position in orbit, making it harder to move - naturally or unnaturally. The second function is to serve as a shield - blocking out most of the sun's light until it is no brighter than the moon. It does not block out the lights of the moon or the stars either. However, it doesn't stop heat or energy. This makes it permanent night-mode along Galbar's equator, without any of the drawbacks one would associate with such a state (aside from reduced visibility.)

Satisfied with his work he decides to head on down to Galbar.
