[h3][i]Eloreon & Anath Homura[/i][/h3][/center]
[hr]
The great colossus had traveled east from the scorching desert, still carrying the seed of humanity across the new world after completing several deliveries to other deities. Anath Homura stood upon its crown, her one-eyed gaze upon the horizon, and she could see the sprawling forest spread out beneath her. She could see the myriad of mundane flora and fauna, mingling with various living creations suffused with greater strength.

For this time on their journey, the red goddess and the colossus were accompanied by a few Gedhe’iwak, those skyfaring creatures of considerable size that resembled large fish found in the sea. They were a curious and docile sort, soaring along the winds of the strange storm surrounding the colossus, similar to how their kindred would swim in the sea. They scattered when Anath Homura had reached her next destination, and came to a halt above a clearing in the woodland realm below.

She leapt from her perch atop the crown of the colossus, and descended towards the clearing where another god awaited her. [b][i]“I am Anath Homura. I have come offering peaceful greetings and gifts to bestow upon you.”[/i][/b] She said, as she alighted upon the green earth, and she looked to the lion god that stood before her - Eloreon.

“Oh. Kindred. It is you. You caught me in a moment of reflection.”
“What are you doing here, kindred?” Eloreon asked, still lost in thought.

Anath Homura gestured to the colossus levitating above the land, and explained. [b][i]“I am delivering dormant vessels among the pantheon. These vessels shall become humanity, shaped and defined by the Divine. Do you accept my gift?”[/i][/b] She inquired.

“Oh, sorry.”
“The gift is appreciated. However, what do you expect in return?” 
“Is this actually a gift?” Eloreon asked curiously. 

[b][i]“It is freely given. In return, I only ask that you adhere to the Sacred Path. I ask that you do not stray towards annihilation.”[/i][/b] Anath Homura answered.

“Sacred Path? What is this?” Eloreon asked, once again with a curious spirit.

[b][i]“The set of cosmic changes that will eventually free us from the prison that is the Eternal Cycle of Return. It is difficult to describe with mere words or ideabstractions.”[/i][/b] The red goddess replied, radiating a paradoxical mix of absolution and uncertainty.

“Perhaps. I do think that perhaps a permanent remaining in this Cycle would be best.”

[b][i]“Hmm?”[/i][/b]

“If you’re talking about the universe being cyclical, I concur.”

[b][i]“I intend upon shattering that wheel, and freeing myself from this system of slavery.”[/i][/b] Anath Homura said firmly. 

“Ah. Well, that would be good if it could be done. Let us endeavor to fulfill this worthy cause..”

[b][i]“Then do you accept the gift of humanity?”[/i][/b] She asked.

“Indeed. I will thus return the favor one day.”

With her hand, the red goddess reached out towards the colossus. The sky shook as the metallic beast stirred and swiftly disgorged thousands of dormant vessels from the numerous openings and orifices across its exterior. Carried by conjured wind and water that gently cradled them; the slumbering statues safely descended upon the land, and were then arranged in intricate spiral rows surrounding Anath Homura and Eloreon. The horde of primordial humans now awaited only the touch of the Divine which would wake them.

[b][i]“It is done.”[/i][/b] Anath Homura declared solemnly.

“So it is. Thank you, kindred. What do you say to enjoying the finest wine from the finest, well only vineyard?”

Anath Homura averted her gaze from the lion god, and looked to the trees that stood tall all around the two deities. [b][i]“I do not partake in such consumption.”[/i][/b]

“Very well, if you would likewise enjoy a feast of some sort, I will prepare one of you at another such time. Thank you for your gifts!”

Anath Homura bid Eloreon farewell after asking for him to visit her home in the future, then she jumped high into the air before alighting upon her usual position atop the colossus. With another delivery complete, she resumed her travels across the world to spread the seed of humanity.
