The Mother Goddess, Angel of Light, She Who Shines Level 2
Niciel returned to the rest of the gods and goddesses after she had finished enhancing her power. Things were... lively, to say the least, especially concerning the Great Plan. There was a minor scuffle with Toun and Jvan that resulted in Toun's loss, leaving him horribly deformed. Naturally, Niciel went over to Toun, concerned for the god's wellbeing. Niciel prepared herself to perform a purification and healing on Toun, her hands and wings glowing white with her power. "Toun-" Niciel began before more conflict ensued.
Logos had began another conflict, blasting three of the gods away from the Great Plan, though not doing any serious harm. Niciel was shocked. Already things were moving downhill, before the Great Plan could even be put into action. To make things even worse, Logos had the nerve to request aid from her as well. Niciel had little doubt that someone had caused some mischief again, most likely Vestec again, but Niciel believed that violence was not the answer to this fight. Already the others were joining the fray, either defending the Great Plan, attacking one another, or both.
Niciel would have none of it.
Outraged at the idiocy of her siblings, Niciel changed form. As her body glowed bright white, her silhouette growing 4 more white wings, and her dress becoming shorter yet gaining sleeves and becoming more durable. She teleported herself into the middle of the battle, taking whatever blows were being exchanged at that location. Then she yelled in anger as she spread her arms and wings in all directions, released a powerful energy shockwave of purity mixed with wrath. It quickly spread in all directions, as Niciel was intent on striking every single being in the area.
As the shockwave subsided, Niciel yelled out, "ALL OF YOU, CEASE THIS FOOLISHNESS!"
Needless to say, Niciel was very, very angry. "We are gods, and we will act as gods, not as children fighting over a toy!" Niciel continued. "Logos, I expected better from you out of all of us. Starting a conflict with the others on so little provocation." Niciel then turned to the Vestec and added, "And you, Vestec, attempting to defile the Great Plan even further than you already have. I warned you not to take things too far." Now addressing everyone, Niciel spoke further, "There will be no fighting amongst ourselves. Not like this. We will have a peaceful resolution to this conflict once and for all."
-Niciel spends 1 Might to unleash her shockwave of power. It should leave the Great Plan unaffected, though the same cannot be said for those who cannot avoid this. Not to worry, though, the shockwave is not meant to cause significant harm.
-Niciel begins to chastise Logos and Vestec, as they are the ones who created the conflict.
So, I take it that, unless you take special care to make your Holy Sites extra protected, the only thing stopping other gods from destroying them is goodwill and the threat of political fallout. Good to know.
P.S. @Dawnscroll, give me a minute and I'll do that.
Niciel was shocked to see someone chastise her over her actions. And for it to be Vakarlon to have done it, as well. Niciel was speechless, and when she regained her voice, Vakarlon had already moved on to other things. Niciel wanted to argue with Vakarlon, but could tell that he had made good points. Niciel took some time to think about his words and her actions, retreating to a more empty portion of the void.
Regarding Slough, Niciel reflected on what she had done. Niciel had simply wanted to right the wrong Vestec had caused when he added his chaos energy into it, although the damage was not as bad as she had initially suspected. Niciel knew she had not added more than was necessary to balance out the chaos, or at the very least, she had not intended to. That in itself was not wrong. However, Vakarlon had a point when he had warned her about forcing that power into Slough. Looking back, Niciel realized that Vakarlon was right; she had not even considered to allow Slough the choice. She realized that by doing what she did, she was no better than Vestec, even if her intentions were different than his. Niciel was ashamed, then she vowed not to make the same mistake again.
With new resolve in her, Niciel returned to the others, gazing upon the blueprints that were the main source of attention in the void. Some of the others were already or had already added their ideas onto it. She studied the designs, noticing Vestec's crude designs, although there were definitely attempts to fix them and even incorporate them into the grand design. Unfortunately, Niciel still didn't know what she could do to add to the blueprint. Nonetheless, she made the effort to try. There was little she added and corrected, mainly just her own purity to help balance the chaos and ensure that things did not become too disorderly, although the more she did so, the more Niciel felt inspired. When Niciel was done, Niciel felt something grow within her. Niciel retreated and allowed whatever she was feeling to expand. The feeling soon faded, but Niciel felt... stronger. It was a pleasant and warm feeling within her.
-Niciel finally adds something to the blueprints.
-Niciel discovers the ability to Level Up, using up 3 Might in the process.
