"Hmmm," Arstus noted from his position at the temple entrance as he continued to observe the landscape. His fellow gods have been busy since he, Adria, and Moren went to the temple. Very busy while he has done little. Arstus looked back at the temple behind him, thinking about what he had seen and the questions he still had, and turned his gaze back to the landscape. Perhaps he should add more to the world for now. He thought for a time, there is still more that can be added to the still unfinished canvas that is this world. Arstus reasoned to himself, but first. He wanted to walk among his fellows' creations before he would add something else. See what they had made firsthand. 

So Arstus made a final look at the temple, wondering when Moren would leave, but with his gaze set upon the world. He sent himself off into the world. Carefully observing his surroundings before finding a scene he did not expect. A group of mortals seems to be recovering from an attack on them by wildlife. Half were dead with fresh wounds, with some mortals crying over their dead bodies. Most were busy trying to look after their wounded, and there was a big crowd surrounding something Arstus could not see. 

But, before he could observe more, he was noticed by some of the mortals, and looks of fear and dread revealed themselves. Some of the unwounded mortals would approach him. Arstus could tell by their body language and the look in their eyes that they thought he was another threat. Arstus slowly put his hands up and spoke in a calm yet reassuring tone. "I am not a threat to you, I am not going to attack you."

Two of the mortals traded looks as they tried to figure out if he was telling the truth. They had never seen a god before and did not know if this new being was truthful or another threat to their people in disguise.                                        

But before they could say something, a smaller mortal, a child, ran up to one of the defending mortals. "Father, he needs you." The child said in a hurried tone before stopping, dead silent as she gazed with uncertainty at Arstus. Studying him, "Who is this?"

"I do not know, but they say they are not a threat." The mortal, looking at the child and looking back at Arstus in a quick succession. 

"Your people have clearly suffered enough," Arstus spoke. "I do not seek to add more misery to your lives." Arstus's words hung in the air as the child was now trying more to get their father's attention. "Father, he needs you now."

Now being pressured by his child, the mortal spoke with a guarded tone. "Fine, I believe you, but if you try anything." 

Arstus could feel the mortal's steel gaze on him and simply said. "I will not, I promise you," saying it in a sincere tone. Arstus knew that they had no chance against him. Mortals versus a god, but he is not here to cause pain or suffering.  

The mortal simply nodded and followed his child to the large crowd. The other mortals backed off, accepting Arstus's words, and slowly went off to join the crowd. 

Arstus followed, wanting to see what the child was talking about, and as he ventured into the large crowd of mortals. Each one noticed him and slowly gave way to him. Arstus discovered what the child was talking about. A mortal, clealy a older one and badly wounded. Lying against a rock. It was clear to Arstus as he studied the mortal that this one was not long for this world and his wounds seemed to indicate that he fought. He tried to talk, but another mortal, the father he met before. The father went to his side, and the older mortal whispered something in his ear before finally closing his eyes and dying.                

"What did he say?" A mortal spoke up.

The father stood up and spoke with a heavy heart, "that is it my turn to lead." 

The crowd went silent, and then soon there was talk among them. 

Arstus took a moment gather everything in. The state of these mortals, and how unfinished the world is for them. He turned his gaze to the father. "What happened to your people is a tragedy, but this world is not ready for your kind, I am afraid." Since it seems like his fellow gods thought to create not just life but sentient life in a world that is still undone. Reckless it was and unfair to those mortals who have to live in this world. Plus, who knows what else his kin will make next? A shame and the showing of gods who do not care. A bitterness started to creep into his heart. This world needs to be made full, He thought.    

But just because his kin are like this does not mean he has to. While he cannot undo what has happened, he can help this group of mortals in surviving this world. So his bitterness turned into resolve.            

"So what will we do if this world is not ready for us?" The father asked, unsure of what to do next.

Arstus spoke again in a clear tone. "Since the world is not fit for you, I will aid you in surviving in it." Arstus pointed up to the night sky and made a new star. A bright star, brighter than any star in the night sky, stayed fixed in one spot. Clear for anyone to see. "Follow that star, and you will find a place, a sanctuary where your people can be safe." 

The father and the crowd were speechless, and after a moment of gazing at the night sky, and seeing the new star. The father spoke, almost not believing what was happening. "Tha... thank you, and we will leave for this place as soon as we can."  

"No problem, justremember, follow the star and you will find it."    

The father nodded respectfully, and soon the crowd dispersed. Making preparations for the journey.

Arstus simply watched for a time before silently fading from sight and continuing his trek into the world. This time heading to the forest. Seeing what his fellow gods have made in there.
