The Grey Mist

The actions of these strange beings put Torath ill at ease, all of the talking as if he was powerless, if only as powerless as the others. The ranting of Duretep made him grin, however. He placed his sword once more upon his back, looking at the being, almost eager.

"Don't make threats you can't make good on... if we're powerless here... you can't hurt me... and I can't kill you. If we're not... don't test your luck..."


"My word is a good one, Young Dragon. There is much time for these events to traspire..." Duretep whispers to himself as he eyes the warrior and his blades begin to tell him every flaw they see in the new god.

Sirion walks over to Duretep lays his hands on his shoulders and says "Sorry my friend you can only have one realm, so eighter your city must be moved to your plane or your plane have to go and all dreaming must happen within your city.
This is to be fair and even one realm for all, the rest is for the mortals to build with or without our inspiration, off course you can place a portal to your plane in the world and try to inspire the mortals to build this city of yours around it" Sirion shows a plateau in the middle of the plate and shows a great portal made of Emerald and jade with runes of the mind swirling and intervening "this is my portal to The Emerald Bastion"

Then he turns looks at Lavaria and then over at Heliasillyel locking his gaze with the sun goddess before his next speech "Then I must speak my true worries of which is the reason for the no gods of lesser status and up walking the world rule, lets say we don't have the rule and it's years from now when creation is over and one of us have pickt up the portfolio of war and now this wargod wishes to make war together with its followers, just like you wishes to dance with yours, Wargod and its army attacks a city of knowledge, I will off course come to the aide of my followers and now we have a battle between two gods.
This could end in the death of one of us and the death of a deity always have great impact on the world in a bad way" Sirion pauses still looking Heliasillyel deep into the eyes "now I'm not saying eighter of us is wrong in our actions since war is its portfolio and civilization is mine im just saying if it was our avartars that had done the fight no world catastrophic effect would have happened"

Looking back at the lady's this time focusing on Lavaria "And if needed be there is still the option of calling a vote between the gods and if 2/3 feel the situation warrant it, action can be taken, maybe even arranging a day a year were we are allowed to walk the world can be put into this agreement with the added rule of no using powers physical or not to anything but self-defense" Sirion stands awaiting the reply.

Heliasillyel pulled back from Torath and put her slender finger on her lower lip, looking at the newcomer for a brief moment, before speaking. "I am sorry your story will have to wait Shining Champion, although I do take a liking to your title. I am called the Shining Maiden by some after all! - Heliasillyel laughed and swung around, rotating and flowing her white robe along. - I will leave you with Lavaria's charms, she seems hungry for male attention. You would do best to figure out how your power came to be. The Mist is not a place where any mortal can enter, so you are surely of the Divine now."

The Sun Goddess turned around and resumed her conversation with Sirion, with a serious expression, something seldom seen on her pretty face. "And how are we to enforce this rule? Do we all readily take a stab at the transgressor, like a bunch of unrefined mortals, and claw away at his power and portfolio like vultures when he dies? And, we are all relatively weak here, all due to different reasons, but I know the Forger's way, he is mind-numbingly pedantic in this fashion - each of our individual power at the moment is equal. - Heliasillyel paused and looked around, stopping her gaze on the Lost Prophet and the Goddess of Fire. - Plus, what is to stop anyone from doing anything? Tomorrow, Duretepp may decide to redeem your broken ways of obtaining knowledge, or dear Lavaria there may conclude that the whole world needs to bask in her fires. Do the rest of us act as enforcers and start a war of the Gods? What good then is this rule? I say walking in our true forms, while in our own domains is fine, so long as we don't abuse our power or try to do stupid things. If anyone has an uncanny urge to do stupid things this little pact here will not prove an obstacle."
 

“Yes if anybody breaks the rule there will be a tribunal of gods were the punishment is decided, what this punishment is going to be is up to the tribunal” Sirion looks a little sad about having forced the shinning maiden to be serious instead of her carefree smiling self. “and this rule will help us all better to see when one is about to abuse ones power, because there will come a day were it becomes relevant” He stops talking for a moment before finishing “you have all gotten one request this is mine, shouldn’t this new beginning be fair and even” he looks a little uncomfortable saying the last.
 

"Wait?..... Breaks the rules? We ARE the rules. It's my JOB to be destructive. The very nature of fire is to CONSUME things, weather it be the air to fuel it or the wood that sustains it. Lava for example it meant to eat rock and anything else it touches in a matter of moments assimilates it into itself almost instantly. My Job here IS to destroy so you 'life' freaks and keep the balance and go behind me and plant trees or whatever you people do that sickens me." Lavaria said the hint of annoyance in this words.

"Telling me, a higher being of tremendous power, what I can't do is seriously going to piss me off VERY quickly." the fire queen uttered. "On a good note for you folks though is that even though I CAN do it, doesn't mean I don't have the smarts not to. Consequences are a real pain in the ass." she added before she smiled once more at Torath with a perfect smile.
 

Helliasillyel sighed and ran her fingers trough her light blond hair that was ever waving around her face like an amorphous crown. "Well not that i agree with Lavaria's barking, but she has a point. It is my nature to inspire my people, to urge them to be creative, impulsive and passionate. I teach them to be good, I help lost souls redeem themselves, I am forever intertwined with their destiny in a very direct manner. Such is the way my Sun Elves live and I am that which provides the means, while they provide their faith and love."

Heliasillyel Nuevyar floated above and sat cross-legged in the middle of the nothingness, radiating light as she spoke. "Sirion i see your concerns, but you must understand that we will not slaughter each other not because we are forbidden to enter the earth in our full power, but rather because it will have inevitable repercussions, like Lavaria said. Limiting ourselves to Avatars will solve nothing, and what you want to avoid may yet transpire regardless. This is only complicating matters with more laws and rules, which if i quite frankly, find suffocating."
 

"Avatars? What are you talking about? If I want to wander around, I will full well do so. I will agree not to initiate hostilities with you all, though I make no promises should you attack me..." Torath said simply, not liking the idea of people forcing him to agree to restraining his own action simply to avoid some possible future scenario.

"All I seek is a sanctuary for myself and the warriors of this new world, if I am to be helping in it's creation. A place where warriors of good faith may hone their skills to uphold their beliefs..." he commented on the creation. At
Helliasillyel, he shifted his glance awkwardly at the mention of leaving him to Lavaria's 'charms'. While he did not dislike any of them... save perhaps the ranting one thus far, he wasn't sure he was wanting to give any 'male attentions' to any of those present either... he was still attempting to sort things out.
 

Lavaria chuckled lightly, her voice whimsical and for once happy.

"You have a warriors spirit my large, dark, and handsome friend. said Lavaria as she winked softly to Torath. "Even *I* would not try and impead your ways unless it served MY greater good to do so. Much like *I* would not want to be limited here. I am here to make myself a realm of pure fire and heat that *I* may live in as I am not able to return to me home plane. If too much constriction is rained upon me, I will refuse to hold my end of the bargain. This is to be OUR world, let us all be happy with it." the heated fire queen barked again with a sense of annoyance in her voice yet this time she showed some of her skill in the arts of diplomacy to remain mostly calm and make a good solid point.
 

Sirion walks over to Duretep lays his hands on his shoulders and says "Sorry my friend you can only have one realm, so eighter your city must be moved to your plane or your plane have to go and all dreaming must happen within your city.

"I don't think you understand exactly, I have a realm but The Metropolis Lucid will be the same realm it will not be two. Here I will say it in a way you understand." Duretep says as he puffs out his chest and begins talking in a mock voice of Sirion "Once someone enters the gates of the Metropolis will be within my realm, the first dreaming will be within the walls of the city. Now the true dreaming... the true dreaming will be through the my gate that rest in my castle, they minds of mortals will go through the gate and into the true dreaming, so you see I still follow under the rules of my pact of imprisonment and your... vague and seemingly...ineffective, good job." Duretep says straight at Sirion ",understood?"

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!" Duretep yells after Heliasillyel speaks of what he might do. Duretep raises his blooded hand up in the air so all can see it "I made a pact, one that I do not wish to break the moment we get down to our world. I am not the one to worry yourself over at this moment, look upon our geust to pass judgement. He h already went against what we have created while the entire time that I have spent working with you I have done little to arouse suspision, all I have wanted is to be prepared for every circumstance that may arise. I fbeing prepared scares you than you may wish to rethin your postion in this pantheon." Duretep says calmly and coldly to all that are present.
 

Sirion looks at Duretep “oh I understood you first time, it is you who don’t understand a realm can no be on two planes, that makes it two connected realms, so I suggest you move your castle into your realm and leave the portal as a gateway”
Sirion looks over at Chrextes “now I know why it will take 12 aeons, to help I will remove my suggestion of no gods walking the world, Instead I would then require that a metal be put into this world, a metal with the ability to in the hands of mortals to slay a god, I don’t require that there be much of it just a little here and there, so when the mortals are tired of the gods tyranny and meddling the have some way of standing up to us” Sirion looks down taking a deep breath knowing well the verbal attacks coming after this request “And to make sure none of us removes this metal it will be hidden from us and there will always be so much in the world that it could be made to a 100 swords, if some is removed or destroyed, then some normal metal will morph into the godsbane iron”
