[ when the feed turns on, there is a man with large white wings standing too close. he squints at it quizzically before moving back with a frown that barely mars his beauty. his wings flap erratically behind him. ]

My sister, Leanne, seems to be missing. I have searched everywhere but she cannot be found. I — [ reyson bites it off, frustrated before taking a deep breath. ] — I will assume she has returned home as I know there have been cases of people . . . leaving. And I have no reason to suspect foul play. The Gods have deemed it so.

[ but, oh, it is a bitter pill that for a moment his face cracks from the effort from it. but reyson has borne worse. ]

Perhaps . . . if you could, please share some words or prayer to your own Gods to watch over her. Or share me stories of your deities. Are they kind? Cruel? Are Gods strangers to you?

[ hmm. ]

I would still like to hear it.

...We created Zodiark to ensure that life on our star would continue. That it would not be erased by the disaster we faced.

Was He kind? Perhaps not. There is a difference between kindness and compassion, and at times, one must make an unkind decision to be compassionate - to be harsh in order to prevent further suffering.

That is what I believe Zodiark is.

A strange god indeed.

Though perhaps not dissimilar to our Goddess Ashera.

[unsunderworld]

Oh? What nature of goddess is She, then?

[heron]

She is the Goddess of Balance. During a war, she sunk the rest of the world save for a single continent.

Interesting. There was a goddess of balance in Meracydia, some three thousand years past, who too had a connection with destruction. If you cannot balance the scales, then return them to zero.

[There's something a little chantlike in his voice as he summarizes the Sophic dotrine.]

I cannot help but wonder if your Ashera thought the same.
