Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 5099471" data-attributes="member: 40413">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!"</blockquote>
