No, I just take a while to post Caesar.

@Dwarfguy2: Personally, I think you should be a little more descriptive. Give a little more detail about what Elan is doing. It doesn't have to be as long as ours (I just happen to have a verbose way of writing), but the more we know about what your god is doing and about his creations, the easier he will be to interact with.

Maybe it isn't. But it'll do for a stopgap measure.

He brings a very nice contrast to Luna. Their debate is very interesting.

EDIT: You trying to give us a hint? Or just telling us to hurry up?

Eh, I live in Arizona. I'm used to it.

As Luna rested from the act of creating her own star and world, she gazed out, watching her brothers and sisters shape their own worlds. She watched proud and noble Gheranathon populate his world in a flurry of activity, bringing forth strong and mighty beasts of both flesh and the elements, and blessing some with the gift of thought. She saw the empty night sky fill with numerous points of light, glittering like her beloved crystals, bringing a beauty to the night sky and bathing their worlds in a subtle magic. She observed the creative Natus bring two trees of vast power into existence on his world of natural beauty. Even the merry Elan created a small world for himself.

“The void is becoming a place of beauty,” Luna said to her fellow deities. “But there are too few here to appreciate these wondrous works.” Luna again went to Aether, and looked over the shimmering lands. They were beautiful, but they were barren. But it would not be so for long. Taking a handful of the crystalline sand, Luna shed a drop of silvery blood on it, filling the sand with life. She tossed the living sand out over the shimmering plains of Aether. Where each grain of sand landed, slowly, roots began to grow. Tiny plants sprouted up from each grain, varying in a myriad of different ways. Some grew into tall, mighty trees, with white trunks and large dark green leaves to feed off the gentle light of Maia. Some were small ferns, with long silver grey trailing leaves, coating the ground. Some grew up on stalks, bearing flowers like gems and nourishing fruits like pearls. Some clung to the sides of the crystal mountains, and grew long vines with flowers of deep blue. And many more besides.

Luna took up more sand, and shaped them into two forms. They were tall and graceful, with white skin and hair. They bore fair faces, and long pointed ears. She put blood in their veins, and breathed life into them. She made them into male and female, to be a companion to one another. Luna blessed them with thought and wisdom, and bade them to rise.

“Awaken my children, and live. Join me in this young world, and share in creation.” Luna bade them. And thus, the Aether elves were born.

Act 1: Create varied plant life on Aether.
Act 2: Create Aether elves and bless them with intelligence

The Fae of an Empath - To feel the pain of others. To truly see the minds of others. If that wasn't terrible enough, they run the risk of their sense of self being lost - cast away to drift amongst the crowd. This leads to weird personality-amalgams, that are usually terminated humanely. Also, they suffer a lot from psychological disorders.

And that's why Joseph spends so much time alone on the island. But Isolation brings it's own host of problems.

Fortis, it's a good guess the escaped slave is in the hidden room (ie. he is). Do you wish to try and gain entry, and if so, how would you go about doing so (ie. would you bring allies, bring the expedition first, do it at night, or what).

He'll want to gain entry. He'll try and convince the other empaths to come with him first. Then the expedition, possibly making the bargain to come with them if they help him. If he had to do so alone, he'd wait for the Link to leave first and sneak in while he was away.

Struggle and try to escape the creatures grips and get out of the river. Scream for help once able.

Quietly Luna awoke within the emptiness of the void. As her awareness grew of the vast nothing surrounding her, she saw the black sun that gave a strange sort of light to the space. Its harsh light was too bright for her, she much preferred the darkness, but there was none of that either. There was simply nothing. But this did not disturb Luna, she saw the great nothing as a canvas, her fingers the brush, and her will the paints.

She moved to a point far from the black sun, until it was just a twinkling star in the sky. Satisfied, she reached out, and took a bit of the ether in her hands. She molded it, compressed it, and formed it until it took the shape of a many faceted jewel almost perfectly spherical in shape. Into this she breathed her power, and the crystal began to glow softly with a gentle light. She named it Maia. And Luna was pleased.

She had a gentle light much more to her liking, but she wished to make more. She took more of the ether in her gentle fingers, and more and more, shaping many crystals. Some huge, the size of mountains, some tiny, like grains of sand. These she set in motion around Maia, forming a great ring of matter circling about it. The great ring formed the world of Aether, the shimmering lands. Luna took form and walked upon Aether’s plains, surveying her creation. And Luna was pleased.


Act 1: Create crystal star Maia.
Maia is very dim, producting a soft blue light. It's light would be only enough to produce evening or twilight like light on worlds near it.

Act 2: Create Aether, the shimmering lands.
Aether takes the form of a ring of land around Maia. All the land, so far, is formed from crystals, the mountains are huge ones, but most of the crystal are tiny, forming a shimmering sand.
