The Grey Mist

[Voda Vosa]

The colective mass of creatures crawl over the pillar, each critter biting, each plant boring roots into the ice, tearing (13) small bits of ice off. The minions also swarm around the pillar and try to destroy it.

[HolyMan]

As the mass of creature's tear down the pillar, Ubariya and Heliasillyel move off towards the east. The rest of the group finishes the destruction of the giants that remained and the area around where the pillar stood is littered with bodies and fragments.

Ubariya and Heliasillyel move quickly to wear two of the glaciers meet, not unlike the fingers of a hand. They see a small form lying upon the wind blown plains of ice. And scoping it up they carry her back to the others.


[sblock=OOC] Time for some RPing finally I don't think I will insitgate another fight till I get the Dmg Red rules down and maybe change that fire resistance as well. Threads all your again.[/sblock]

 

[Myth and Legend]

The Sun Goddess gazed at the frost-covered form of what seemed to be an uknown deity, that oozed both a very familiar energy and yet mixed it with something foreign to Heliasillyel. In her true form, the Elven Goddess would have called this being a gnat - a fledgling newborn Deity that still had to earn it's place among the heavens.

But in such new world everyone seemed insufficient, whatever their history might have been. Yet this was no Goddess that Heliasillyel knew of, despite the features of her face being strangely familiar.

The Smiling Maiden embraced the girl-God and poured warmth in her being, removing the frost and cold from her form and empowering her with the strength of the sun. Heliasillyel was careful not to explode with too much light, least she cause her sister great pain for a second time. "Ubariya, you are much more familiar with motherhood and children. What do you make of this being?" asked the sun Goddess with her melodious voice. Heliasillyel was ancinet but in many ways she was not omnipotent, which was quite befitting her desire to explore new aspects of life and her existence. It would be utterly pointless to exist with unlimited knowledge.

 

[Shayuri]

Almost immediately the gods and goddesses assembled noted something unusual. The golden radiance of Heliasillyel painted the melting snow in shades of yellow and orange, illuminating everything around in like hues. The young girl in the snow also grew brighter...but she gleamed with a silvery color entirely unlike that of the light striking her. The brighter and warmer Heliasillyel's light, the whiter and colder the light that shone from the girl's skin.

Additionally, and stranger still, the girl cast no shadow. None whatsoever.

Then she inhaled a breath, and her eyelids fluttered.

For the second time in her existence, Silhouette awoke.

The experience was oddly similar to the first time. Awareness was incremental, with her first becoming aware of coldness, and then warmth. The source of the warmth was now as it was then. And now, as then, there was a place in her center where the warmth did not, could not, touch. But it was enough.

She opened her eyes and found herself enfolded in light and flesh...light made flesh. Held fast in strong, but unknown arms, Silhouette immediately started struggling and squirming. Her escape charm kicked in, and she suddenly slipped free of Heliasillyel's grasp as if she'd been slicked in grease. This allowed her to tumble unceremoniously to the ground...which she did.

On looking up from her sitting position, Silhouette saw several others there. She was sure she hadn't seen their like before, in her world or in the mortal world, which could only mean they were from the Far Places; the worlds at the edges of her own realm, that she had not yet crossed into and explored.

Two of them were immediately familiar to her, as well. The Bright...and the Dark.

She leapt to her feet and planted her fists on her hips, confronting them with a grin as bright as Heliasillyel...but with a hint of her other mother's dark mirth as well.

"Travelers!" she cried in a voice that rang like little silver bells, melodic and jangling, "Wanderers! You've saved my life, and for that I owe you." The word of obligation came out as a startled little growl, for she found that the debt was a bond, and she loathed being bound. These were firsts for her as well.

"So tell me what you'd have of me," Silhouette told the gods, focusing on Heliasillyel, "and we'll have done with it."

 

[Myth and Legend]

Heliasillyel was amused at the child-God's squirming and boastful nature. She also noted her visage and the silvery light exuding from her form, more apparent now that the Sun Goddess had regulated her own emanations.

The Elven Goddess threw no shadws, quite naturally as she was a source of light, but this new Deity seemed to possess a similar quality to her form. But the correlation that had become apparent now gave her a hint as to what this being might be.

"You can tell us your name and how you came to be on this world. I require nothing for saving a being from the cold, it is what is expected of me and what i exist for, among other things. You seem to cast a peculiar light, not unlike that of Ubariya's Mirror that we both created." The Goddess gestured towards the Dark Mother below her, as she still floated some thirty feet in the air. "And addressing us as mothers seems to indicate you knew who we are. So then, are you a prodigy of ours?"

Heliasillyel looked at the girl-Goddess with an intense, golden-eyed stare, but smiled brightly as she spoke, her hair still floating around her face as an ever shifting halo of gold and orange.

 

[Shayuri]

Silhouette grimaced in spite of herself. They wanted knowledge. She could spin gold from the snow, or diamonds from the leafs of trees, but knowledge was power, and it was eternal. A name coerced had power that a name freely given might not. She wasn't sure, and it worried her.

"My name is Silhouette," she replied, and because the debt owed was life, she felt compelled to elaborate a little. "It's the word I chose for myself when I was born in the dark of the light. The very first thing I chose." Then, because her duty on the subject was fulfilled, she decided to obfuscate things a little. "I'm a reflection on the mirror, mothers, or maybe it's a reflection OF the mirror? But then what mirror is reflecting the mirror to make me? Maybe mirrors are all anything ever is, and we're all just different reflections of one thing standing in the middle...forever gazing into its own navel."

"As for how I got here..." she shrugged. This was safer ground, though she was a bit wary to tell them how to find her own world.

"I chased a wolf through wood and over mountain and river. A great white wolf, with thick bristly hair and golden eyes the color of fresh honey. At first when he ran, he left paw prints, so I followed him. He learned to run without leaving tracks, so I watched for marks on the leaves, and spoor. He became as a ghost, leaving no hair in branches, tearing no leaf...so I followed his scent." She wrinkled her nose cutely. "And when he finally learned to wash away his scent, still I followed him. Up a mountainside where ice and snow leaked out of strange cracks in the ground, even though it was far too warm for them. The wolf dove into the cracks at the end of the world to elude me, but I followed still because he was my prey and I would have him."

The godling shrugged.

"And then we were here, in the cold. And that is how I came to be here. It's been an entertaining adventure. I suppose I have you to thank for it...mothers." She nodded at Heliasillyel and Ubariya.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Even as The one and the Many releases the spirits of the elemental planes from their material manifestations, he crawls down the shattered pillar. The mass waves towards the talking goddesses and assumes the shape of one of the shambling mounds next to him, but of a considerable size. This is the first time the other gods see The One and the Many in any recognizable shape besides the mass of creatures.
He towers above them, his arms made of strong vines coiled around other vines, and his "foot" one group of messy roots shifting as he moves. In what could be his chest, shines a pair of green hollow eyes.
"What manner of creature is this?" he asks.

 

[GlassEye]

Ubariya watches the interaction between Heliasillyel and Silhouette. She is silent and somewhat wary of this new, young goddess. In her experience mothers and daughters never got along and she wondered if it would be the same here. If this 'mother' thing was more than just a ploy to invoke their sympathy. Nonetheless, Ubariya smiles and greets the newly arrived goddess.

"Welcome, Silhouette, to our new world. I'm sure you know it already," and here Ubariya shoots a cold look at Heliasillyel apparently not pleased with the freely flowing information that comes from Helisillyel's mouth, "but I am Ubariya, the Dark Mother. I find it only fair that a name should be given for a name." She smiles but there is little warmth in it. "Any other debt can be discussed at a later date. Since you seem to be in little danger now that you have been brought out of the cold..." She shrugs and continues to watch Silhouette until the One arrives.

"A new goddess," she says to the composite god of plants.

 

[Rathan]

Lavaria could care less what or who the found below... slowly she used her fiery rays of lava to steam and melt off the glacier bit by bit near where the pillar once stood... slowly above the rest the cavern would start to fill with warm water and steam... she would make sure this pillar would have no place again in which to rest....

"You fools should exit the cavern soon before I fill it!" the fire goddess barked as she yelled into the cavern.. her tone almost playful this time...

[sblock=HM]If she does this enough for long enough perhaps Lavaria could create the rivers of the world?[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

"The ice is to heavy on the top of the world you must melt most of it, get it to flow around evenly, or it may cause the globe to collaspe in on itself."

The Forger's voice again seems distant and weak but booming none the less.
