[QUOTE="Tokiwong, post: 144924, member: 961"] [b]Finding the Path[/b] [i]Talindra paced softly aside the dark brooding deity, which was Iuz his small frame form dwarfed by her tall lithe build and willowy appearance. He continued along the long dark hall in silence, “Why are you following…” his voice no higher then a whisper… Talindra paused at his side, “I was waiting for an acknowledgement of my existence, mighty Iuz…” she looked out from the hall towards the dancing flames, chaotic and powerful, they surrounded the whole of Chorazin. She looked at the flames, “You came to my world as a conqueror… why did you stop? You claim to be a God… a creature beyond the ken of us mortals… so why did you stop your onslaught…” Iuz sighed, “It is pointless.” “Pointless?” Iuz turned his full fiery gaze upon her, “Pointless Lady Talindra, I have fought and scrapped for a millennia… for longer then sometimes I wish to remember… and what do I have to show for it… Godhood…” he chuckles, “bitter consolation it cannot stem the pointless void growing in my being…” “You are remorseful then?” Talindra replied confused. “I feel nothing, going to your world was a mistake upon mistake born out of greed, blind greed and a hunger for power… I could have taken that offer and crushed Oerth into dust… I damned that world once why not do it again… but to what end?
