"On the topic of afterlives: Talios, may I have your permission to create one for my followers?""Just tell me what you have in mind, and I'll probably approve it."
"Correction: I haven't made an afterlife yet.""Don't worry, I will happily guide your lost followers to an afterlife where they will be appreciated."
"Suffering is how our creations earn their afterlives! Oh wait, we haven't made afterlives for our creations yet. The tick after next tick, then.""This one is truly deficient. The afterlives are older than mortal life, than the Creation of the worlds themselves, you fool."
Just kidding. Mostly.)
"Why do you call me that?"Talios stands up and dusts himself off, his crook and flail return to normal.
"You are truly a worthy opponent Devil."
And so are you, Reaper.An unassuming seed quickens into life, sprouting into a small seedling, growing at a rapid pace into a sapling, a small tree, a average tree, a large tree, continuing on and on, ballooning in size seemingly without end until it filled the horizons. Sylvan had awakened within Creation.
Sylvan uses one ichor to create the Eternal Forest, the afterlife for worshipers of Sylvan and the default afterlife of trees. Upon the death of a tree, it is reborn as a seed within the Eternal Forest, soon sprouting into a new seedling. Each tree in the forest has sufficient space, nutrients and sunlight to grow to its maximum potential. Non-tree worshipers become a tree of their choice. All who enter the Eternal Forest immediately become trees.
Sylvan uses one ichor to transform as much wilderness as possible, that isn't already, into thick lush forests of mundane trees appropriate to their environments, but with a preference for larger varieties (e.g. giant redwoods or clonal colony trees such as the quaking aspen.)
Sylvan uses all his Essence, Flux and Essence and Flux caps to incorporate himself into the world, becoming the Biggest Tree.
(I hope making lots of forests is fine with everyone. I may make a custom species, still brainstorming it.)
YOU! RIGHT HERE! BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF THE CONCEPT OF SPEAKING! IF YOU DARE TO SPEAK GIBBERISH LIKE THESE IDIOTS I SWEAR I'LL BURN EVERY SINGLE TREE IN EXISTENCE AND SEND THEIR SOULS TO BURN ETERNALLY IN HELL!
Now with that done, allow me to introduce myself: I am Zenurion, god of genius and villainy, but everyone here call me the Devil, for a reason of course.
