The Grey Mist

[Rathan]

Lavaria shakes her head softly..

No no no.. and once more NO. I will NOT agree to leave that amount of power in the hands of Mortals. If something needs to be in place to make you happy oh keeper of the balance then I suggest giving ONE being that each of us create for this world per generation the power to speak for it's people. He or she may talk to us DIRECTLY and if it is the will of our people to toss us from the world we created for them." Lavaria said softly as she sighed, compromise was not something she was used to but at least gave it a shot.

A chosen one of some type that will speak the will of our beings populous. And their words in this manner MUST be..... law." Lavaria said as she hissed at the last word she spoke. If they wish us gone from their domain, then we will be honorbound to leave for a year and a day. This I am willing to agree upon. Who is with me here?" said the fire queen looking for acceptance on this matter.

Heliasillyel put her hands on her hips and eyed Duretepp as a mother would her naughty child. "You are a god of madmen and seers, who know when a voice in your head might tell you that the pact you had made is null and void. I still appreciate it and will uphold it... Anyway I used you as an example, no need to get excited."

As Heliasillyel pranced off she froze as she heard Sirion's next words. The Goddess simply burst out in laughter as she turned around. "PFFFFFFT HAHAHAH! You - she literally glowed as she laughed. - you must surely jest, or Duretep's madness has contaminated you. No even Duretepp would not suggest such random folly. Give mortals the means to slay Gods? The very beings that have created them and care for them? Mortals, even my own Elves, are flawed by design. This cannot be changed. They fight over gold, power, out of lust, anger, or simply because they can. Half of the time they cannot keep a king on his throne without someone trying to cut his throat! How long will it take for one of their ilk to find this metal? They are crafty, they will surely find it, defeat whatever is guarding it and extract it. Give a mortal the opportunity to slay a Deity and take Divine Power for himself? We will have idiots with magic swords and dreams of grandeur knocking on our doors every day! And what good will that be? It's like giving children the power to kill their parents when they refuse to let them stay past their bed time!"

"You ask that I hand someone power over myself? Surely you are not so foolish. Should I discover such a metal exists, I will began a war to purge the world of any such threat to our existance. You wish this to avoid conflict but it will CAUSE conflict. Your measures will simply incite more chaos and battle than even I would desire..."

Looking at Lavaria with a little smile “see that’s a good idea that I can accept, one mortal of each race will have the gift to banish the gods, off course the mortal must see the god to be able to banish it away from the world for a year and a day, but it must not be one of each generation it must be so that if the gifted one dies the gift instantly carries over to another of same race, to avoid slaughter of these chosen ones by aggressive gods and their followers” Sirion stands waiting.

Heliasillyel's eyes darkened with a more crimson colour now that her frustration grew. "Have you all gone mad? Be at the whim of a mortal? Mortals killing us or banishing us? Nowhere else in the multiverse do such travesties exist! Gods are Gods, and mortals are mortals, you are trying to equalize that which is inherently without balance! I will not stand for this and my patience is wearing thin!"

"If I have the right to banish and keep at bay those I wish not within my own realm, why should the beings of our creation not have the same right?" Lavaria said softly, her first glimpse of non-cruelty from her thus-such.

"If we don't give them the ability to fend for themselves on occasion, what's the point of even creating them here at all?" the fire queen continued. "We have lived each of us thousands of years.... what is one year and a day if they happen to get it into their minds they need us no longer? They'll be back whimpering and crying when the first sign of trouble comes calling and you know it." Besides.. do you not know me by now? I love tossing in a bit of randomness into the equation." Lavaria said as she smirked then she paused a moment to think.

"I seem to remember a doorway when I came to this place somewhere. Perhaps if you can find it again you'll have a place to go if you don't like it?" Lavaria added with a wide smirk.

Lavaria turned to Sirion with a nod. "That is more fair so no other God or Goddess can target the deities chosen one."

"Sirion, I am afraid you must cease and decist this madness, you are making me look sane which might start making people start asking questions." Duretep says trying to get Sirion to show some emotion. "Now Sirion my old boy, who will be in this tribunal of gods. I'm guessing you would want to be inside of it and then why should we trust you judgment? The fact of the matter is the way that we have created this place, one of us dying will end it because we all play very crucial roles, well yours seems to be to bother everyone I don't know how that helps." Duretep says as he senses that he has found a chink and he wants to exploit it as best as he can. "The world can't function without all of us so you worrying about us killing one another makes as much sense as calling Lavaria's relationship with Young Dragon commited, it's total folly. I think we will all come down to the conclusion that we need each other to make this thing work ,like you need me to be at your best."

The Sun Goddess's face was now frozen as she tried to contain the rage that was boiling inside her. Nothing good had ever come of her losing her temper, and now was not the time to behave like a spoiled child. "Lavaria... My dear... Are you saying there is no point to any mortal race previously created in the multiverse? Because no other Deities have done something nearly as stupid as the things suggested here. We have lived for thousands of years, some of us more so than others - she eyed the fiery queen with contempt. - but that does not bring reason to any of this. Mortals can be corrupted, this is a sure as the fact that their flesh withers and rots. An imperfect being cannot be trusted to hold any form of power over a Deity. Maybe if your subjects weren't mindless elementals you would understand."

[sblock=Rathan]Umm since you lack any entries on worshipers, dogma and so on i just went with fire elementals. Let me know if i should edit.[/sblock]

Ubariya has since the time Sirion first made his pronouncement remained quiet. In fact, she seems to have taken a step away from the group and the grey mist swirls around her as she again steps forward to speak her mind. This is the first time she's drawn attention to herself since Torath joined the circle of deities: Her unclothed body is full with imminent motherhood and she is beautiful though nowhere near approaching the beauty of Heliasillyel or Lavaria. What beauty she has is all the more jarring for the non-human elements that make up her body: the four spider legs that emerge from her torso and hips alongside her human legs; the two large spider eyes that dominate her face and the six, no... five human eyes just below the others. One eye has clearly been violently removed and recently; blood still stains her face but the jagged skin around it has been pulled and stitched closed with a white thread. And Torath notices she stands taller than all the assembled deities with the exception of the One and the Many.

"Welcome, newcomer, to our ranks. I am Ubariya, the Weaver Uncaring, the Mother of Unclaimed Souls," she smiles but without emotion, "and now, the Lady of Seven Eyes. Our purpose, if you haven't already divined it, is the creation of a world of our collective own. Clearly the Forger snatched you from wherever you were and brought you to our conclave to join in our purpose. I believe I can accept your request for a fortress and a plain of battle to accommodate your warriors.

What I cannot accept," she looks at Sirion with callous disdain, "is any of the proposals that you have put forth, Brother Sirion. One of my main purposes is to walk somewhere new, somewhere not as... predictable as the walls and webs of the Black Chasm. I cannot limit myself in this fashion at this time. Perhaps later I will grow weary of walking amongst our creations and seek this out for myself but I cannot agree to this now.

Nor can I accept the creation of some 'godsbane iron' that could bring about the death of one of us. Would you take my dominion from me and hand it to mortals? Beyond the offense I might have taken from this, and I refuse to take offense because you are my Brother, is common sense. None of us are fully omniscient nor know the mind of the Forger. It is dangerous to sow the seed of our destruction when it may already exist. I know death better than any of you and even I cannot see so far as to see any of our deaths. Perhaps Chrextes has seen it but he seems reluctant to speak on that matter.

And this 'Speaker' madness. Exiled from our creation for a year and a day? Truly, to us that time is inconsequential but would you ban Heliasillyel and put our world in darkness for that time? Banish me? Do you know what the world would be like if no creature perished for the space of a year?

No. There must be some other thing that you want. If it is within my power to grant it I will do so as long as it does not endanger my future!"

"Yes mortals can be corrupted but so can gods" Sirion looks disappointed at Heliasillyel "and are you saying just because no other gods have done it before that we shouldn't that we should just make a copy of what already is, and not something unique" Shaking his head and mumbling "so much for new beginnings" he walks over to Duretep "Off course I would sit on the tribunal and so would all other gods, as it would be the best way of judging what would be best for the world, and as You and others already have proven by hurling insults and treats there will be conflict, so we would need a way to solve these without destroying the whole world in the progress" he tilts his head "and why would this bother you, since you already have expressed that you would only want to dwell in your own realm" looking over at Ubariya "It will only be the true form of the god thats exiled and only from the world not our own realm, Heliasillyels sun would still be in the sky and you could still send your servants to claim the souls, we the gods could even walk in form of our avatars while our true form was exiled" Sirion walks into the middle of the flock "you have all gotten you first wish of creation granted, I have put up 3 choices now and you won't grant me one of them"

"how shall we be able to co exist and rule together when you cant compromise, ill even be willing to hear any counter offers for my suggestions or reasonable ideas for my boon, but I will have a say in creation"
