Not entirely. Vanida still hates Corvus and has a reason to kill him (being a puppet of Az-Sho), plus, Corvus is the god who's come closest to dying the most, except for Udil. He's not exactly going to be willing to do that again.

No, she has a reason to hate Corvus anyway.

Also, happy now? I used part of a Mighty Act to help save the mortals.

Geez, why the hell does it matter if I don't use my Acts to save mortals? I'm the god of knowledge, not mortal saving, although clearly some people didn't get the memo.


And keep this in mind: the Corvid Moon has mortals on it as well, and a child Ancient. If anything, bolstering the strength of it's divine shield still counts as mortal saving.

I know, I'm going to go change it.

Still, there's three gods who might kill Corvus, hence fleeing. Vanida, Sabt Golgo (tasty essence, god killer cannon), and Un'Girlan.

((Actually, we're in a clearing...a guy just got thrown through a tree with a crossbow bolt.))

Corvus fled to the Corvid Moon to regenerate, and to flee the inevitable gods who would prey upon them all.

He decided to put these acts to use. Quickly.

He summoned up the power he gained and put it to setting right things that needed setting right.

With a mighty show of power, he helped Feros seal the rift.

With one act, he created the Staff of Crows, a powerful tool which took the attacker's energy and reflected it back at them, as well as concentrated the Crow's power. He needed a tool to defend himself, and he had one now, then
he looked to the Fire Giants, and realized his mistake in forcing them to live upon the moon. He decided to atone by allowing them passage home via a one-way portal to their old home on the Fourth Continent, and bolstering the strength of the Shield around the Scholar's Moon.
He spoke to them.
"I have permitted you to return home, as you may. I apologise deeply, for my foolishness.

Stay now, or leave, it is your choice. I go to do other things."

He then looked to the burning Traurig.
'No! Not another benevolent one... Not such a visionary mortal...

I will not let this happen! He shall live ON!"

With his act, he captured the departing soul of Traurig and placed it in a Crowborn yet to be birthed, as a last resort to save the Seaspawn. He would not let another benevolent one pass. He then used the energy to grant the world knowledge that had been lost to it by the fall of the world. It would rebuild, and he had granted it the knowledge to.

Teleport to the Corvid Moon.

Mighty Act: Help Feros seal the rift.

Mighty Act: Forge the Staff of Crows, a defensive tool that reflects any Acts used on Corvus on enemies and boosts his attacks, as well as bolster the Moon's shield and allow the Fire Giants to return home via a one way portal.

Mighty Act: Reincarnate Traurig as a Crowborn, and use the rest of the energy to provide knowledge of Smithing and Architecture to the world.

I break his fists with my drill.

"Calm down! There is a dying child nearby."

The body gasps for breath, clutching the pistol in his hands.

Damn. I'll edit it later when I figure out what I want to do.

Nate sighed. The Salamander, or whatever it was called, was ticking him off. He didn't even KNOW if it had spoken to him or not.
"You'd think those things would be nicer to me. I summoned them, after all."

He sighed irritably and placed his head in his hands, looking at his coursework.
"Computer science. Greaaat. Wish some sort of animal spirit knew THAT, don't I?"
He plodded on with it. It was hard, but considering Nate was good with tech in general, it wasn't that hard.

He then looked into the hole the Salamander fled into.
"Hm. I think if I fed that thing, it'd be nicer to me? It'd be nice if I didn't have a flaming lizard in my room who could kill me at any instant."

He went out, taking his allowance with him.

An hour later...

The fridge was now stocked with fruits, and vegetables with a label saying "FOR SALAMANDER" on them. It had also been restocked for Nate.

As for Nate's room, there was now a cage of rats that he'd managed to coax into it.  He also had the fortune of finding a nice (fireproof) cushion at the pet store (the cashier looked at him weirdly when he said that he needed the cushion for a 'pyromanic pet'). He felt pity that the thing had to sleep outside and he'd rather that it sleeped here, or at least viewed it as home.

He placed some bananas outside the hole and a rat into the hole.
"Might as well coax it out, eh?"

He laid back and contemplated turning on his PS2 and playing Persona again.......but then he realized.
"Hm....my power.....what else could I do with it?"

He had an idea. He wanted to see if worked.

He pointed at the floor, concentrating deeply. He had the mental image in his mind, now he would bring it in.
"Pixie, I summon thee!"

Null Act: Nate goes out and buys some grocceries for himself and Salamander. He sets aside some for the lizard.

Null Act: Nate coaxes some rats into a cage and brings them home, putting one into the warrens for the Salamander.

Full Act: Nate summons a Pixie, a small fairy known for healing and guidance.
