Eh maybe fire divination, but I think that is not what Eve needs right now.

It's interesting. Thus far, we've bound ourselves to this girl and her needs. At first, we wanted to curl the world to our influence. But she wanted friends, so we gave them to her by lowering ourselves. But then tragedy. Now we're here at an important part of her life. She has to decide where to live, and consequentially, where we want to live. Anyways.

Staying here is not a wise decision. We don't know how the current chief will be. He slew his brother in righteousness, but we've no understanding of his personal intentions. He could be a good chief. He could be an evil chief. We don't know. But we do know that this is an unstable culture. These are the people that killed Eve's father and all other men of tribe. I say we forsake their society and seek out another, one not so predisposed to war and violence.

---

Here is my suggestion: We counsel Eve to the best of our abilities and instruct her and her mother to seek out the Northern Forests. Take control of Fluffy once more, and guide their steps away from the snares of those that might wish them harm.

They are afforded more shelter there, more room to run and to hunt. We will initially have less believers to convert, but perhaps we can use our influence to... Well... Make more followers. Eve's children, and their own children will be instructed in our ways. While they are young, we will expend our influence upon their malleable forms. Her children will be born swift of feet and of mind, traversing the forest floor with the agility and careful perception of a rabbit.

For I say, that if there is no Goddess of Children, then let us become one with Eve as our first child. Eventually, she shall grow older, beautiful, and wiser with our guidance. She will one day form a family, and from her shall bloom forth a new civilization, one that will move past famine and war and into bounty and peace.

Why can't we be a god of beauty and femininity? Break the gender roles.

((@birdy51, Well said. One thing, though, the new chief is definitely power hungry, maybe moreso than his brother. Look back at the conversation between George and Fluffy, "...a brother killed a father, just not the one he claimed" implies that it was the new chief that killed his father and that his little tale was a convenient lie. Hence why George was there to begin with. ))

Why can't we be a god of beauty and femininity? Break the gender roles.

Gods are genderless at their essence, it is simply how mortals perceive that they appear one way or another. This leads to interesting things like gods having multiple forms to different sets of people.

Also I need consensus on the immediate action (on the rabbit powers, and on validation of Eve's question to Fluffy).

The plan:
1: she performs some stupid ritual
2: she gains rabbit power for one day
3: she goes hunt with rabbit power
4: she sacrifices the killed animals
5: we extend her rabbit period
6: repeat
7: profit.

As a response to Eve's question you endow her with power. This drains most of the power you just received, but with it Eve gains heightened senses for 24 hours. With your remaining energy you speak to her mind directly:

"MORTAL. YOU ARE CHOSEN. FIND MY ENEMIES AND SACRIFICE THEM IN THE FLAME. THEN THY POWER REMAINS."

You also flash some images in her mind for good measure, so she knows what type of sacrifice you prefer. She goes unconscious from the strain. She awakes a few hours later, disoriented, but otherwise fine. Her senses have been attuned to those of a rabbit's. She can see 360 degrees around her, and her vision is much more motion sensitive and can spot small things from afar. Her hearing is now so acute that she can feel objects through sound, and new world of smells has opened for her.

The northern forest is a mere 4 hours away and it is not dawn yet. She steals a kitchen knife from one of the sleeping women in the camp and sets off into the forest. Fluffy hops along with her.

Several hours later, it is afternoon, and Eve has returned - blood-stained and soiled, with a dead fox over her shoulder and a dead lynx under her arm. Her mother rushes to see her, then backs away in horror. The other women are preparing food for their children, but everyone stops to watch Eve walk into the center of the village, where there is a cooking pot over a roaring fire. She kicks the pot out of the way and throws the carcasses into the fire. The others watch with astonishment. Eve collapses onto the floor in exhaustion, but mutters a prayer to you.

What do you do?

Cause the fire to burn larger and brighter than it would naturally, and produce more smoke. With this smoke and fire produce Eve's face, but as an adult and beautiful. Her hair blows in a non-existent wind and the face breaks into many smoke rabbits that bound out before each running towards a villager and dispersing into nothing.

Then tell them how we will protect and watch over the survivors as their patron diety and in exchange they must pray to us.

You accept the sacrifice. All MP restored! New Avatar*: Eve!

You take this opportunity to convert new believers. You manipulate the flame to produce more smoke, and increase its heat so that it burns white. You create images in the smoke, first Eve as she is now, then a vision of her as she could be in the future, fair and powerful, in regal robes, beneath a crown; then a multitude of rabbits forming a larger rabbit. Then nothing.

The woman and children are frightened and bewildered by the flames. Eve gets up, her strength renewed.

What do you do?

*Avatar - A mortal with whom the god has created a covenant, allowing the god to speak directly with the mortal without penalty, and, if the mortal is powerful enough, allowing the god to walk in flesh and blood upon the earth, using the mortal's body.
