The bioluminescent rainforest trembled with primitive life, the canopy serving as a shield against the heavy rains to allow life to prosper despite the torrential downpour. [color=bc8dbf]"Alright, my children. It is time for you to join this new world and grow. Grow and expand, and due me proud."[/color] She waved the Fangs of Calamity as she pulled the human souls from within the Realm of Heavenfall, reworking their bodies one after another. Soon enough, the rainforest below filled with the horde of servants made in her image, a collection of arachnid entities born from the modified souls of humanity. Some were fully arachnid, massive spiders of unusual characteristics, while others had the upper bodies of humanoids that were similar to Seele herself- matching her prideful form. Slamming her spear into the ground, she gathered the energies she had been accumulating, absorbing them as she made use of the divine power to enhance herself as well as disseminate her gifts and workings into the lands of Heavenfall. The powers of Calamity flowed through her, and she knew this power would serve her well. Briefly, her body pulsed with energy as cracks spread across her skin. The flickers of energy lingered before dying down and the cracks rescinding as the new power stabilized. It was just the beginning, but it would do for now. She watched as her new people scuttled about the rainforest, finding themselves in a new world and new life they did not yet understand, driven only by their instincts. She would not interfere for now- she would give them time to grow without her immediate intervention, leaving Lyra to care for them and ensure their safety against more mundane horrors that might lurk within this growing world. She leaned back and gazed up at the dragons that had begun to roost below her spear, brought by her visiting dear friend- beings that would become part of her domain. For now she would simply leave them be, and let them gather their treasures and return it to the roost below Heavenfall. They would serve their purpose in due time. For now, she turned her eyes back to the Aranea, her children- they would be unified in purpose, unified in mind. She raised her hand as the storm began to rumble around the valley, her divine power crackling as she grabbed at their minds, pulling at them like threads of silk, weaving them together into a beautiful pattern, each individual becoming part of a greater whole, each reinforced by their ever-growing family. And as the Aranea's eyes glowed brightly with magic, infused with the blessing of their Sovereign of Pride, Seele smiled. The first step completed. [hider=Summary] Seele makes her fancy new race, the Aranea. Details to be expanded upon. She takes on the mantle of Calamity. She infuses the Aranea with a blessing of unified mind, a hive mind that allows them to share their thoughts telepathically instantly, as well as becoming shared in their ability to resist effects on their minds- affecting one mind must defeat the whole. Lyra is also included in this hive mind. Seele is the overlord of this hivemind, and may lend her mind and thoughts to it but always may block things from it if she so chooses. [/hider] [hider=MP/AP] Seele Starting: 5MP/5AP Seele spends 3 MP to take on the Aspect of Calamity. Seele spends 2 MP to raise the human souls into a new form of magical life known as an Aranea, a species of multiple caste-based forms that take the forms of varying arachnids. Details to be added. Made in her image, applying the discount of Pride. Seele spends 5AP(Discounted from 10AP) to add Lyra and the Aranea to a hivemind that Seele is the overlord of, enabling them to share thoughts, emotions, memories, intelligence, and mental fortitude. This mighty blessing is so powerful due to its connection to Seele herself, enabling them to benefit from the astonishing power of her divine will- when she so chooses. One may equally think of this effect as a curse due to the overwhelming will Seele may influence through it to guide the Aranea and any other that become part of the Hivemind. Individuality is reduced but not destroyed by the Hivemind. [/hider]
