"Yeah, it has calmed down a bit, hasn't it? I think that means Waverider is recovering, wherever she is. As for the wall, the whole thing didn't fall, just this half. I don't think it should be replaced, to be honest. This bit can be open to trade with Mina's people. I hear that the wall has some kind of effect on some of them."

[Philote]

"If they are willing to work with those demons. I don't quite trust them myself, I get an uneasy feeling whenever I see one, but I don't have any reason to consider them an enemy yet."

"As for Hazet and Waverider, have they been found yet?"

Lily starts drawing out Murakumo, "We will repeat this once more:"

Kyouko: "Leave now or face the consequences."

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

Mina continued flying on autopilot to where Lily and Kyouko were and as she did so, she shapeshifted for three more arms. Then from the earth below her, she made metal come out and form into two katana, the Twin Fangs of Fire and Ice (-4 for Divine Artifact, +1 forFire Domain, -4 for Divine Artifact, +1 for Ice Domain). She was getting closer to the intruder's location.

As we work, I create a Divine Artifact and fuse it with my soul. The artifact, Hero's Mark, will manifest as a dragon tattoo on the body I am currently possessing. This artifact will increase my strength and allow me to connect my strength with anyone I deem heroic (-4 motes). Another Divine Artifact, Dragon's Crown, is teleported away for later and stored within the King's Treasury (-4 motes).

Where was she?

The sea goddess lay somewhere strange and warm, staring blankly at the eaves of a small house. Every part of her body ached faintly. For the longest time, she merely lay there, mind slowly working to recall why she was here. Some fight?

Was there somewhere she should be?

Who was she, again?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Nice mark, Gil. Gonna make going incognito kind of hard, though. Hey, you two," he calls to a pair of watchers drifting through the air. They come to him. "Try and find where the watchdogs got off to. One went towards the inside of the continent, the other ran off toward Gil's island."

They nodded, and left.

"There, at least we'll know."

[Philote]

"I'm a true warrior, Watchman. I'll face my battles head on. Let everyone know that I am Gilgamesh."

[Zaleramancer]

(Still at 20 motes.)

The Hag-Queen raised an eye at the on-goings. Damn idiot Gilgamesh had caused so much trouble. She didn't care about the darn wall, or even Hazet.

But the ocean? That concerned her.

The Five Isles were in a near disaster state. Water flooding and sluicing out, salt-fresh water balance destroyed, fish-folk being carried off in the waves to be hacked up by fish.. The Sea Hags were stranded where ever they had landed last, isolated from her.

And now Waverider had lost her memory..

Zaya decided it was time for desperate measures. For the first time since creation, it was time for her to leave her isles.

Time to visit a certain Shark God.

[Mik_Hael]

Ignoring the two in front of me I sit down and begin fiddling with a nearby crystal outcropping to pass the time until their master arrived. ...Up until now the crystals had seemed rather weak after the destruction of a mass of them to the south...I might as well remedy this. While the two are threatening me I imbue the crystals with two blessings, one renders it immune to curses, and the other increases its physical strength to allow it to become nearly indestructable.

The two are still glaring at me but I ignore them keeping a weary eye and begin to craft items out of nothingness as the time slowly passes by.  A few trinkets, a cross, a pair of gloves one white one black, and a set of small cylindrical trigered devices......on a whim I decide to imbue them with my devine power creating four artifacts. The cross of Mik Hael, the guantlets of chaos and order, and the barrels of void and power.

( -2 blessing, -12 artifacts, total six points.)

[Zaleramancer]

The storms continued to blast across the horizon.

Hazet sighed. He raised a barrier around them to keep back the rain and wind, and glanced at the dog.

The thought of flying left him faintly nauseated. He had never been very good at flying anyway, much less with a passenger and during the mother-of-all storms.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Mina arrives just as Lily and Kyouko are about to attack Mik Hael and learns from them the events that occurred and Lily hands Mina Murakumo.

Mina: "You disregarded Lily and Kyouko's warning. I don't care what you have to say. You are to leave now or be ejected forcefully."

[Mik_Hael]

I look up from my work and glance at the god. "Ah, so you are their master then." I stand up putting away the artifacts. "I had heard tails of the queen of demons that lied in the northern lands from the inhabitants of this world and wished to form an alliance or at least an aquaiintance with her. However, If you wish for me to leave then I shall....but first I would ask if you would like a parting gift. I have created a species of creatures, I would like to give you one of them as a gift.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Mina: "No, any creature you leave here I will destroy myself. Leave now. You are wearing my patience thin. You have 5 seconds to leave."

[Zaleramancer]

Off in the distance, on the ocean, what looked like an old lady was scuttling across the waves. A Giant Shark roared after her, trashing the water.

[Mik_Hael]

"Very well, I'll go, but I will remember your rudeness in the future." I cut a hole in space with the guantlet of chaos and walk through it to the top of my monsters head. I pat it's cranium signalling it's time to go and we head toward the land surrounded by the large white wall peeping in the distance.  

A god's presense is sensed nearby skimming along the water.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Mina watches as Mik Hael goes off on his monster, "Lily, Kyouko. That one is going to be trouble. I just know it."

She puts her artifacts back in their respective sheathes, with Lily holding on to Murakumo still, then shapeshifts to look like a Yukionna. Mina then stores the Heart of Gravity and the Twin Fangs of Fire and Ice in the Shadowscape before damping down her energies to appear to all senses as a normal Yukionna and goes back to the Demonwall by way of a Shadow-Scarred.

[Zaleramancer]

The wizened hag danced across the water with amazing agility.

"So, you aren't Bazul then?" She said as the shark went rushing past her. The titanic being started to turn but Zaya had already tired of it.

With a tut, she flicked the turning shark in the nose.

The sudden pain in it's nose made the shark suddenly decide to try and eat something else. It swam off as quickly as it could.

"Bah. Next giant shark then."

[Mik_Hael]

Watching a sea hag flick a shark in the nose I decide to ignore it for the moment and continue on my way to the continent of the great white wall.

[Mik_Hael]

........sigh, "enough." I grew tired of the dealings of the immortals, everywhere is distrust, everywhere, is fighting, everywhere, there are demons...except for my haven....sigh.

I rip open a tear in space with the guantlet of destruction and swim my monster through it back to the island. Before disembaraking towards the center. Where I grab hold of the crystal center, and begin to manipulate the crystal's growth. Crystals erupt from the ocean floor forming a large dome over the island reaching into the sky, at the top of which, several spires come together to form a castle. I take the five with tme their and rest, looking out across the world. I will not make a move, I will not assist in the matters of the others, they shall deal amongst themselves unless I am asked for assitance. In time I will prepare my races, and secure my kingdom, but not now.
