Lords of Creation (New Story Thread)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kagehana: "Interesting. But are all the regulations in that book?"

[Zaleramancer]

"Unless they've added to it when I wasn't loo-" The Sorceress pauses.

"Did you feel that? I felt something.. far off."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kagehana: "Yes, I did. It felt like the emanations mistress gives off when creating something though she generally mutes it down and so do most other gods. Whoever it is, it feels like they're declaring war!"

[Zaleramancer]

"It feels familiar.. Like someone I should know." Amalia said, book forgotten.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kagehana: "It might be the god who created your race, but that's just a wild guess."

[Zaleramancer]

"Perhaps." Amalia said, seeming to be lost in thought.

"Er.. Could I excuse myself for now? There are people I must inform of this development."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kagehana: "I guess we'll then be returning to inform our mistress of events if she hasn't already heard or felt the emanations."

[Zaleramancer]

"May your journey be swift and uneventful!"

Amalia hustles off towards a large looking building.

[Philote]

Motes Left: 9

"Don't judge by the power you see before you" Yojimbo says as the ground rumbles below him. "You will be brought lower than you have ever been before if you face Gilgamesh."

The ground continues to rumble and Earth begins to surge upwards below Yojimbo's feet. He rides the mountain higher and uses the force of its creation to launch himself into the air so that he can fly back to his continent. (-2 motes)

Things had not turned out as Yojimbo expected, but the thrill of a battle more than made up for it.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

The Shadow-Scarred quickly slip into nearby shadows back into Mina's territory. They quickly report all that occured to Mina and she takes some time to think before responding, "I'll send a contingent of Yukionna and Yukiotoko to the Free Cities. I'll have that be a sign that I'll aid the Free Cities in times of trouble. Now, Kagehana. Please look into that mirror over there. If you pass the test it gives you then you can fight and do things with your full potential unlocked."

Kagehana: "Thank you, mistress."

She walks over to the mirror and looks into its depths before stiffening in surprise and freezing in place. Mina gestures to the three Shadow-Scarred before saying, "Bring me a Yukionna and a Yukiotoko. Make sure that they are the best of their race at controlling ice and snow as well as physically the strongest and fastest."

Hoseki, Akako, and Kizuato bow then quickly leave to do Mina's bidding.

(Total: 4 motes(Just for reference))

[Zaleramancer]

(Also at 20 motes. I should start expending at least two a day on these folks)

Zaya was so shocked by what she saw that she dropped her food bowl.

That idiot had gone and provoked Hazet. A god turned to wrath is a terrible thing.

"BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES! EVERYONE DUCK AND COVER! SOMEONE GET A MESSAGE TO THE SEA-HAGS IN GILGAMESH'S LANDS! TELL THEM TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!"

[Zaleramancer]

(20 Motes. Again. <.<)

The Undines had alerted Coral to the sudden awakening of Hazet within minutes of it happening. After dithering for awhile, the goddess decided to take this up with Bazul. They were hoping to merely attempt to calm Hazet, until their mistress descended upon them, demanding to know what was happening to make so much noise.

"So this guy is going to attack someone? Eh.. Let him go then. He'll only skirt my turf anyway." Waverider had said.

She began to drift away, when something occurred to her.

"Wait- who was it you said he was attacking again?"

Both Coral and Bazul nervously told her, "Gilgamesh."

"Wasn't that one of those trespassers?" The Goddess said with a mildly gleeful tone.

"Er.. Let's not do anything rash, Mistress." Bazul begged plaintively.

His words fell on deaf ears.

"Get the Undines together. We're going to offer up support to a new ally."

[Zaleramancer]

Hazet boiled over with fury. The divine curse bit deeply into him, filling him with a desire to conquer.

His form continued to grow. With a few ever-expanding steps, he stood outside his city. Carrying his mighty spear, the god walked across his lands and towards the sea.

A woman with blue skin rose from the waters to greet the approaching titanous god.

"I'm not one for long speeches. You want to smash Gilgamesh, I want to smash Gilgamesh.. So how about we smash him together?"

The giant god barely paused to acknowledge her.

Do What You Wish. I Will Not Strike Your Servants If They Aid Me. 

The goddess shivered at his hollow voice and dove beneath the waves.

Hazet continued his advance, wading through the sea as if it were a shallow pond.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Uburra-Namall looked at the others as she mulled over what being to bring into her own ranks.

Until she had her own company, they were certainly enough to keep her giggling. They could all be so stubborn, so angry, so self-motivated...a couple could even be described as childish.

If only they had love in their midst...

[Philote]

This was Gilgamesh's expertise, Glorious conflict. It had taken him no time to get the gears of war turning in his nation. The Shardmind send out their telepathic messages, the Genasi were summoned, and most importantly the heroes were gathered.

The divine servitors formed at the edge of Gilgamesh's border, creating a wall of warriors with their ghostly bodies. Behind them, Gilgamesh, Bahamut, and Yojimbo stood in the direction of the incoming Hazet.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"WHAT!?"

The Watchman had been startle by the sudden reappearance of a watcher. He had been going about his business, making sure all of the Dragonborn slaves were freed and on their way back to their homeland. He had just seen to it that the last load of the night had started it's journey and was ready to hit the nearest pub* when the news had arrived. Hazet was awake, in place of his palace stood a mountain, and he was on his way to this island Because Gilgamesh had pissed him off! All in all, not the type of news he enjoyed.

"That pig headed, backstabbing, warmongering little snot!" The Watchman cursed and burned with rage,"You just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you King of Heroes?" he asked to the air. He didn't care if Gilgamesh heard him.

"And to think," He exhaled, calming himself, "I'm still going to take that fool's corner. Such is life in service to the people. Watcher?"

The watcher did it's level best to stand at attention.

"Spread the word to as many as you can that war is on the way, and they should prepare. Call more watchers to assist you. Any except the 5 I ordered to watch the witch. I'm going to see if I can head this off."

The Watcher flew away towards the remains of Hazet's palace, praying that the God would not be to angry at the sight of him.

*Not to drink. Physically incapable. He just loved pubs, and the atmosphere within them. Also, he wanted to but everyone drinks because it made felt great.

[Zaleramancer]

(I'm combining Hazet and Waverider's posts.)

The towering God was seen far off in the distance.  However, far closer was the roiling waves. Towering waves had begun to crash into the land and a storm rapidly approached.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Undines began to rise reluctantly out of the water. As their tails touched land they changed into feet. The now bipedal Undines continued forward, darting through the forests. Their leader, the reluctant Coral followed them bearing a new weapon, a sword of pearly sheen.

(Hazet: 16 Motes. Waverider: -4 Motes (Divine Artifact:Pearl Sword. It allows one to control large amounts of water.)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

He flew past Gilgamesh's army, and as he did saw Hazet himself. Towering over him like some sort of, well, angry god.

'Sovereign" He called to him, "It pleases me to see you back on your feet, it truly does, but I question if this is the right course of action for you to take."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other side of the Island, something kept pace with the Undine's leader. The watcher tried to speak with her.

"My lady, I beg you reconsider. You don't want to do this."

[Zaleramancer]

The towering god scarcely noticed the approaching Watchman.

Once his attention finally diverted to him, he spoke in hollow tones.

Greetings, Watchman. I Trust That Your Day Is Eventful.

[Philote]

A telepathic message reached Gilgamesh. "So those of the sea are attacking as well? What could their purpose be here? Redeploy some troops to reinforce the spirits at once."

The ghostly spirits stood next to each other along the border, their shields raised to block incomers. The shifters in the area performed the rituals to summon the genasi. As the soldiers arrived, they stepped into the ghostly spirits, combining with them to fortify the border.
