Now Anath Homura soared across the shimmering skies as she watched the myriad of the recently arrived all summon strange and wondrous changes in the world. Changes that were both beautiful and brutal in equal measure. It was only the beginning, and yet all of it caused her to reminisce. She wondered whether it was foolish to repeat herself by attempting to create more mortals as gifts to the Divine, considering the cruelty inflicted upon the innocent that she had witnessed in the past, and the ache in her heart when she recalled how she was forced into forsaking the majority of her children to annihilation. She had subtly created souls that would inhabit the aspects of the world and preserve the memories of those that prematurely met their demise, except souls remained unseen and lacked creativity. She still sought to see farther upon the Sacred Path which would require further faith, and so she finally came to a decision… Soon she would recede into her realm as intended, but before that - she would go on a pilgrimage and deliver her gifts across the land to those that would accept them. The red goddess called upon her otherworldly strength and began to construct that which would carry her smaller creations along the journey. Divine power coalesced ahead of her and manifested as a metallic colossus resembling the equine creatures that had yet to be created in this iteration. It was an immense mechanical beast of burden, and designed to hold its cargo within the confines of its hollow chest accessed via walkways built across its exterior, along with various openings located sporadically throughout its form. It was inert in a state of silent stillness, currently empty as it levitated above the land, but that changed when the remaining half of the ritual resumed. Excess energy of the spell seeped through the contours of the colossus, and materialized among the many crevices and cavities found within. With experienced precision, Anath Homura summoned the elements and merged them into living beings - beings similarly shaped to herself, but blank and awaiting characterization at the hands of those they would come to worship or despise. The bodies of these primordial amalgams that would eventually become humans were nestled safely into the heart of the colossus, ready to be transported now that the ritual was complete - The colossus itself stirred and strode onward like a thunderous storm upon hearing her unspoken command. Then Anath Homura alighted upon its crown and proclaimed to the world: [b][i]“Humanity shall once more be reborn, dormant and dreaming until their fires within are rekindled. Forged from the essence of the cosmos - ever malleable to the desires of the Divine, and capable of change and cultivation. Speak with me, and receive my gifts, for I have begun my blessed travels…”[/i][/b] [hider=Summary] Anath Homura decides to travel across the new world and bestow the gift of humans to any deity that accepts. She creates an animated artifact called a colossus as well as the slumbering vessels that shall become humans. Then she sets out to start her journey.
