Lords of Creation (Story Thread 3)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Kimi simmers slightly before coming to a conclusion. Tiebil starts, "You little! I'm going to-"

Kimi: "Tiebil! Stop! We can wait until Brynhildr leaves on her own, I'm sure. It'll be 1 against 6 then and we shouldn't have to worry about these ones then. So are we allowed to leave on our own? Hmmm?"

Khadai giggled coyly, "Go wherever you like, mortals."

Nasta snorted, "Not like our permission was needed for you to roam about our lands before."

"Now, Nasta, be nice." Khadai fake-scolded Nasta, before turning her attention back to the mortals, "I'm sure they've got no grief with us. No, no grief at all. In fact, I have a feeling we could all be very good friends. Now, if you'll excuse us, newcomers, we'll be escorting Brynhildr back to where she's found a new home; among the Centaurs. I would welcome you to join her, but...well...nevermind."

With that, they disappeared into the winds, Brynhildr vanishing right along with them.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Everyone falls to the ground having been released from the illusions, it is a little while before Mashi says, "Aaaargh, Gods! The ones back home aren't that ironfisted! How did they find us so fast?"

Aguinas: I'd prefer not to find out how, but we should leave these lands and wait for Brynhildr to leave."

They all quickly agreed and headed back to the boat they'd 'borrowed' at Mina's ports and set sail along the coast.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

As the goddesses reappeared at the door of Kaita and Fidion's home to drop off Brynhildr, Khadai answered the Succubus' question before she could ask it.

"I helped you because I know that there is use for you...alive. But don't be alarmed. I'll be more than glad to spare you. For a price."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Brynhildr: "So what is this...price?"

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 The Seven-Sin goddesses crowded around.

"Stay." Khadai clasped her fingers together insidiously, "Simply stay on this island. Go wherever you please on this land; explore any forest, play in any meadow, we will avert foes from your path. Jissei will lay no curse on you. But, by all means, do not leave this place. The way I see it, your pursuers will grow tired of waiting for you to leave, until finally they can take no more. Wanting so badly to please their goddesses, they will come to me, wanting to know how to gain jurisdiction...And from there...they will be mine."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Brynhildr: "Is that so? I won't be leaving anytime soon, so why not. I agree to the deal then."

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Very good, very good." Khadai looked to her handmaidens, "Alright then, girls, let's get on, shall we?"

The Seven-Sin Sisters voiced their agreements.

"So...I guess we'll be seeing you, Brynhildr."

And the goddesses were gone. Right in time for Kaita and Fidion to come to the door. Kaita asked who the heck Brynhildr was talking too, and then invited her back inside for some apple tea.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Brynhildr accepts and asks, "So, what do you all do generally here?"

Gilgamesh met with Anima at the edge of the Watchman's continent. Thanks to the Grand Mind, the Major Spirit had been made aware of Gilgamesh's request.

Anima's domain of power was tapped into and the energy flooded into Gilgamesh to fuel his new design. It was time for Gilgamesh to have a proper kingdom, one that outclassed any mortal design. The blueprints were laid down, a grand design that would take up the essence of a plane. The Plane of the Kingdom was born (-12 motes, Create Plane).

Now for the tool that would bring his design into reality, the Astral Tether (-12 motes, Create Divine Artifact). This tool would bring sections of a plane and fuse it with a section of reality. To accomplish this though, the Divine Artifact would have to be fed Divine Energy before it could activate in order to have enough fuel to fuse the two realities.

Gilgamesh would give command of the Divine Artifact to Anima while he was away and name himself master over Castles and Kingdoms as he prepared for his kingdom's construction (-6 motes, Gain Domain).

Mina walked into the temple dedicated to her in Spectropolis and used the portal formed earlier by Illusia and the others to travel to Gehenna. Once there, she looked at the changes that were made and accepted them before thinking of what to do next. She had several Divine and non-Divine Artifacts, a Plane for her Demon domain (Gehenna), a Plane for her Youkai domain (Plane of Spirits), and a Plane for her Shadow domain (Shadowscape). Now, it was time to make a Plane for each of her other domains. For her domain of Light, Mina created the Lightscape, to be the opposite and balance to the Shadowscape (-12 motes, Create Plane). For the domains of Fire and Ice, Mina created the Plane of Opposite Balances, to represent how the two domains counteracted and perfectly balanced one another (-12 motes, Create Plane). The customization of the Planes Mina would leave to her pantheon, but it would hopefully be just as good as they had done with Gehenna and the Plane of Spirits.

With Gilgamesh's work done, he was free to move as he pleased and entertain himself. Since the Watchman was part of the reason for his delay in the tournament, Gilgamesh would go and see what business the Watchman had gotten himself into. Thus, Gilgamesh departed to barge in on the meeting at the heart of Spectropolis.

"I just knock. If that not work, we take steps."

She walked up to the door and knocked carefully on it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Shuffling is heard inside the house, but nobody answers the door. Someone is clearly inside.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Slowly Aox 's swings become less clumsy and more accurate.

[Zaleramancer]

My point of origin. My Mortal home.

She seemed to shrink slightly.

The place where I committed my greatest folly. My worst crime.

====================================

"We can move her later, I guess. She'll be very upset when she gets up, so perhaps you could keep some of your more durable minions there to keep her from depopulating your city."

He sat in a chair, which transformed into a delicate looking chair made from dark wood. Gant's seat was slowly transforming into a comfortable looking seat with expensive cushions, while the other boy sat in his chair, which morphed into a beat up looking bean bag chair.

"Oh, awesome. I haven't seen one of these since we vacationed on that one world." He settled into the seat and continued, "What was it called? Stone? Rock?"

"Perhaps it was Dirt. My memories are still fragmented." His dark haired twin offered.

"Such a pleasant vacation."

Madame Gant laughed, "I doubt it was pleasant for the people there."

The brightly-clothed boy gave her a questioning look.

"Remember the big metal boat that you wanted to paint? That iceberg that needed to be in just the right spot?"

"Oh. Right. But.. Remember the city you sank?"

"They insulted us!"

"Oh please shut up you two! We haven't even introduced ourselves."  Said the more quiet twin.

Madame Gant rolled her eyes before looking over at the Watchman, "I am Madame Gant, the Goddess of Information. The brightly clothed air head is Tez, God of Magpies. The boy who just insulted me is Dez, also God of Slyphs. Both are also the Gods of Whirlwinds."

Both the twins waved.

Gilgamesh walks in to the meeting room within Spectropolis, striding past the Watchman and the others that had gathered. With a wave of his hand, ten chairs gather around him on the northern side of the room. Forming into two rows of five, Gilgamesh takes a seat in the center of the front row and the chair changes into a large dragon styled throne. The chains around him change into thrones as well, but styled simply until the rest of his pantheon had time to claim their seats.

"I see that we have some new Divine Blood in this world."
----------------------------------------
Anima returned to Gilgamesh's continent and raised the Astral Tether. Holding the Divine Artifact by the claw on its end, Anima began to channel Divine Energy into it and a chain appeared to rise out of the top before the chain disappeared into another Plane.

The charge entered the Astral Tether and the first section of the Plane of the Kingdom emerged, the Curtain Wall. Divine Energy traveled around the shore of the continent, raising it up into a castle's wall. Large doors lined the edges at the continent's ports as well as a massive gate on the land bridge that connected to Crav's continent. The energy wrapped around the continent until it reached the mountains the Watchman had made and they too rose into mighty walls to divide the continent. The paths and caves through the mountain preserved as corridors and rooms within the walls (-6 motes).

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The Babysitter

She looked around again. She sat down. "It took me home, too. So, what happened?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Watchman

The Watchman winces inside at the mentions of sinkings. They were those type of god. At least the dark haired one seemed to have his head on straight, but you could never really tell.

"Well all of my people that could handle a god are away right now, so I think I'll be there personally. Now, I was wondering how it is you all-"

At that point, Gilgamesh makes his entrance. He would smile at what he did with the chairs. Was that a show of power, he wondered?

"Ah yes, Gilgamesh. This is Madame Gant, Tez, and Dez. I haven't quite gotten the name of the young lady in the bed, but I expect she's the type to introduce herself when she wakes up. Assembled, this is Gilgamesh."

[Philote]

"That one is named Sonia I believe" Gilgamesh replies "It seems Yojimbo has learned of her for whatever reason."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"Good. You're getting better," Sora remarks. "You're going to want to practice that several times each day. When you have nothing else to do is generally the best time as well."

Koneko: "Mmmmm. I remember how bad we were at Swordsmanship at first. Didn't you almost knock out the teacher on accident, Sora?"

Sora: "That was not me! You're the one who had problems like that!"

Koneko: "Ooops. My bad!"

Sora looks back at Aox, "Hmmm. So you're from the god Crav's lands, the lands of the God of Crafting. Please tell me, is there a hero there who is a blacksmith? I'm having problems forging a pair of gauntlets for Koneko and would like some advice."
