The Grey Mist

"I asked for mortal forms for my soul-eggs and dangerous mountains where my followers can commune with me," snaps Ubariya, "NOT ways to bind, exile or kill the rest of you. You want a say in this creation? Then ask for something that doesn't infringe upon my right to interact with this world."

Heliasillyel sighed and resumed the form of her own Holy Symbol, radiating a purpousfuly dim light. "So be it Sirion. Your desire is for the mortals to have some form of control over us, should one of us prove to be an oppressor or despot that needs banishment or worse. I will agree that from each generation of each sentient race, we promote one Speaker, similar to a Petitioner. The speaker will be chosen by us, so as not to have mortals grabbing at the power such a position will undoubtedly provide. The speakers will be allowed to summon us, all of us, in a neutral demiplane created for that purpouse alone. There, they may plead their cause, and afterwords we can have your proposed tribunal. Of course, should any one of them be foolish enough to abuse his power and summon us for trivial matters, personal gain or other, we will be able to remove him from his position. This way the mortals are ensured the voiced opinion which you value, but are not granted the power to fling us out of the Prime Material or... kill us. - The eighteen rayed disc that was now the Sun Goddess spat out with contempt. - What say you to such a setup?"
 

"Fine fine. Lets just get this mess over and done with as I bore of the subject now. The terms seem fair and at least give the mortals a 'sense' of power. I agree with the terms sun goddess." Lavaria said softly as she completely ignored the sun goddess previous statements to her a short time ago. They both were in fact deities and didn't really have to answer to anyone as to what motives drove them to want what they each wanted.
 

"I will agree to the terms Heliasillyel has provided, except that I will choose my own speaker, and should he abuse his authority, I shall give his soul to the Weaver Uncaring." Torath nodded, satisfied with this.

"I return for granting a mortal the ability to summon me and possibly cause sanctions against me, all I ask is that every decade we hold a grand tourny somewhere in the world for any martial minded creations of ours to test their skills in an environment which will be suitable for all."

"Hmmmm a grand melee. Lavaria says softly with a bit of a smile...

"Perhaps it's something more than one deity can offer her followers in. Color me interested tall, dark, and war-like" Lavaria adds as she winks once more to Torath.
 

"I'm sorry but that won't do, firstly it sounds allot more like guidelines than a hard rule" Sirion shakes his head "And secondly asking the mortals to speak up about our fallings and threatening them if the do, doesn't seem like a system that would work, they must be free to use it without fear of what will happen to them, their family and soul" Sirion turns towards Torath "the tournament could be more it could be a time and place were the best of all came and competed about being the best in their field, who is the best in melee combat, who can make the most beautiful song, who can lift the most, run the fastest, solve most riddles and so on" A glow shows in Sirions eyes "This is not a requirement you need state of creation, It something you could just sponsor you self and ill gladly help even if you only want the martial part" Sirion stands a moment with his thoughts going into the future watching the battle of dedicated warriors and monks trying to find perfection in the moment of battle, He is not even aware of his mind forming the mist in front of him into the figures of his imagination fighting without a sound.
 

"Come up with something else, Sirion, or we'll vote on what you have proposed and move on. This bickering wearies me and I want the Forger to build our world. Decide which it will be, Oh Master of the Emerald Bastion."
 

"Well then here it comes my next try in getting a boon for creation" Sirion looks serious as always"We make the Codex Divine, a set of laws we must all obey.
Each god suggest 2 laws for the codex:
a law must not favorite or penalize a specific god, portfolio or element.
a law must not be automatically fulfilled by any of the gods just by being themselves.
a law must not be about other laws of the codex
afterword when each have suggested 2 laws each god can object to 1 law stated by another god, the first law suggestion of each god that become objected is automatically removed the second and last suggestion requires two objections not to enter the final Codex Divine." Sirion looks around but before the objektions can begin he continues "the punishment for breaking a law of the codex divine would be decided by a tribunal of all the other gods to at least a sentence of one year and a day confinement to ones own realm"

"This way the rules are created by us all and you can stop the rules you cant live with, will this be accepted"

"All this talk of laws and rules suffocates me!" Heliasillyel growled with frustration, as she distanced herself from the group and began contemplating the alternatives to mutual cooperation.
 

Lavaria growled softly under her breath. Her eyes shined a deep red as she glared at Sirion in discontent.

"I've had enough law holder. If you want these 'laws' then fine, have them held true in YOUR realm. I will not go against everything I am and have been because you have decided that we need them. Your suggestions are more YOUR speed and need than mine. You would not readily agree to my more chaotic nature anymore than I with confine myself to yours. Period. I will not speak of this any more. You want laws and rules, you have them in YOUR realm and TRY and hold them true on the realm of the planet, just as I will uphold my hold on chaos in my realm and unleash it on the planet just like the rest of we deities will with our own brand of nature."Lavaria said with fury and anger in her voice apparent.

"I suggest the talk of making ANYTHING regarding rules and regulations be stricken from the planet itself and individual ideals be held true in each of our OWN realms leaving the planet pure and free to do as it normally pleases as well it should be." the 'heated' goddess added brashly before actually walking off with Heliasillyel, she was just as frustrated as the sun goddess was with all this law talk and nonsense.
