"The world cannot exist without balance. And we are balance." Drachjya-Lortu was more than a little angered by this new goddess. "I have several questions. Why have you called us here?" Asked Drachjya-Lortu. "If you are the godess of reality, why have you only just appeared?" continued Drachtessa-Lortu. "And what are these events you claim to have set into motion?" Finished Drachzalon-Lortu.

"And more importantly," growled the Supreme Lord of Eternal Balance. "Why should we not just kill this obvious pretender, go back to what we were doing and forget that this shadow ever existed?" He was ready for a fight, and it seemed obvious to him that this so-called godess of reality couldn't be... well, real. After all, reality hadn't just come into existance, why should she?

"Because my dear Balance, you are no longer needed to tend the scales. Ha, and your a dragon, amusing."She said, voice blank of emotion, she obviously didn't like her own joke. "By the way, your scales are magnificent, you truly are the lords of dragons, I will give you credit for that, and for that, I will answer your questions. I have called you here for absolutely no reason other than to introduce myself. I have only just appeared because, well, I'm not actually here, this is a projection, but I have only just appeared because I have been hiding with the rest of the Court of Shards. The events are secret, it would be boring to reveal them. Anyways, I have begun to lift the mask that normal Mortals have had on them since their creation, and now, well, now chaos ensues. The gods of Maddness and Insanity should enjoy this, I also added a bit of terror, fear, phobias, etcetera. Well, I have to go now."She said, disappearing, quite literally.

Edit: Changed "norman Mortals" to "normal Mortals". 'Mortals' is still capitalized due to that being their official name as a group of races, in this roleplay/

Tochen raised his hand from the piece of cheddar he had been eating only moments before, and asked "Excuse me, miss creepy reality lady." He then disappeared for a moment and reappeared in his seat wearing the outfit of a 90s editor.

[Rocopurr]

Veariloo just stared at Xeria. She could have made a snarky comment or two to the fellow Goddess but decided to remain silent for the sake of acting like the young, innocent child she pretended to be. Veariloo looked up at Ranun then at the other deities. "We might as well catch up since we're all here, right?", she suggested.

[Prusseuss]

Rjakurrgarah just,well,grinned at her statement.He walked over to Tochen,putting him under his arm.He then said," So brother,are you ready to cause some horror and terror ? "

[Joshulia]

Rjakurrgarah just,well,grinned at her statement.He walked over to Tochen,putting him under his arm.He then said," So brother,are you ready to cause some horror and terror ? "

Tochen snapped his fingers and a horde of cheese based demons armed to the teeth appeared behind him. He laughed maddly and "Why yes, I am, little brother!" And with that he through his block of cheese across the room at the child goddess. Why? Because he can!

[Doranos]

Amsus
"Chaos? War? I like it." He bellowed "But I do not like the sounds of this new goddess," He said crossing his arms.

Ranun
"Agreed I feel a change coming on, but Veriloo is right, let us catch up with each other while we are here, and we might as well begin making plans for whatever this storm is" Ranun said slapping the cheese out of the air before it could hit Veriloo, "and I suggest the two of you behave yourselves." Ranun said disdaindfully looking at the two brothers.

Ranun said disdaindfully looking at the two brothers.

Tochen was rolling in his seat with laughter, him, the god of maddness, behave? Now who was mad? He summoned another block of cheese, guda this time, threw it across the room, and then he began summoning more cheese, with which he pelted the other gods with.

Ranun said disdaindfully looking at the two brothers.

Rhakuggarah simply walked up to to Ranun and flipped him the bird.He then said,to no one in paticular," I AM GOING TO EAT YOUR CHILDREN !! " He then started eating cheese and blood.

[Doranos]

Ranun didn't know what he was thinking when he said that and sighed, he gave up.

[Juroain]

Xeria was in a marble room, similar to Olympus, all around her numerous Gods and Goddesses, 11 others to be exact, all together 12, six Gods, six Goddesses. "Our plans have been set in action. This time we will not fail. Have you made arrangement with our contacts?"She asked, looking out the window to see utter darkness, outside was water and creatures of the deep sea.

"Yes, mi'lady. The time is closing near."He said, Xeria nodding, her skin turning clear and cracking.

"I am going, for now. Watch our home."She said, shattering into millions of pieces of glass, which somehow started to melt into water, which simply went through the floor, after going through the proper filteration processes, of course, they didn't want to dirty their home.

[Kostahn]

The flickering form of Tsurates seemed to solidify. It was now fully back in this universe. The soulless hole on its mask-head turned towards the ridiculous god which yelled: "I am going to eat your children"... Pah, like Tsurates would, or could possibly have children. It was sexless, no offspring for it. A block of cheese hit it and it shook its mask contemtuously. This wasn't Chaos, this was randomness. It knew what chaos was, heck, it was a god of chaos, these ones... Mere shadows of what it could accomplish.

Of course, mindless showings off of power were pointless in places like these would only show that it was immature, and chaos was too powerful to be immature about. A spike stabbed out of its belly, shooting back in, another spike ripping out next to it and the train continued up its body. The deity's eyes floated around, examining the happenings of each of the gods up close, as well as taking in the images of the gods as fully as possibly, regarding decency as an afterthought. Strange that they all adopted these human personas. So much easier to remain in a divine state as it did...

[Rocopurr]

Catching up hadn't worked well and resulted in Torchen and Rhak something (Veariloo still couldn't remember his name) being their usual selves. They had always been this way, never growing up. Veariloo was a child, but she still knew how to behave. Sighing, she decided to bring up a serious matter.

Veariloo cleared her throat, "Listen up! Xeria seems like a real bully!". The girl frowned and put her hands on her hips, "I bet she's up to something bad. We should try to stop her before she causes a disaster. Who's with me?". Veariloo wasn't the brightest and had no idea how to stop the Goddess, but she knew that together her fellow deities could stop Xeria from causing too much trouble.

[Jormengand]

"I, for on... three, certainly am," Stated Drachjya-Lortu. "I don't like the sound of whatever she thinks she's doing," Opined Drachtessa-Lortu stubbornly, "And she certainly can't be a good thing, for any of us," finished Drachzaron-Lortu.

(OOC:Sorry for short post, tired and trying to multitask.)

Tochen threw a block of cheddar at the god and said "Oui, what exactly is she doing? Is she even a she? Or perhaps something like weird squishy thing up there, nodding to the god of chaos. The he sat back and began to munch on, yes, more cheese.

[Videssos]

A little distance away from the other gods, a vaguely humanoid mass of darkness burst out of thin air, flickering and swirling, seemingly moving with an unseen will. The roiling shadows coalesced into a tall figure in thick armour, engravings in the dark plate burning with an ethereal blue fire.

In this particular instance, the horned helm that Sakalthôr usually wore was missing, revealing the visage of one of the Lord of Shadow's more human forms.

Sakalthôr glanced at Veariloo, having heard something of the ongoing conversation. "For some reason, I have a sense that challenging Xeria might not necessarily be the wisest course of action. Definitely not if you're unaware of her full scope of abilities. Of course, you could attempt to oppose the aforementioned goddess without thought, but I'm feeling generous enough today to inform you that it might not be the most intelligent decision. The consequences of choosing sides amongst beings of our powers, generally tend to be extreme." He paused momentarily, before adding, dryly. "I just thought some of you might like to know that."

[Jormengand]

Parrying Tochen's impromptu cheese, Drachjya-Lortu turned to Sakalthôr. "Forgive me if I already know the consequences of gods taking sides. Perhaps it comes from... well, being the god of balance? D'ya think? You know, whenever something like this goes down, it's always us who have to sort it out. And it's not a nice job, trust me."

"In any case," Continued Drachtessa-lortu, drawing a line on the ground and then a massive circle next to it with his sword. "She's already on a side. So if we're a lot weaker than her..." Drachzaron-Lortu took the moment to start drawing several smaller circles on the other side of the line, and continued, "The best thing that we can do is oppose her." Drachjya-Lortu took the moment to draw an "approximately equals" sign across the line.

Tochen nodded, leaned back, and threw a block of cheese across the room, at the newcomer who had just show up. He yelled after it "One musn't be late!" Then he broke out laughing, again.

[Videssos]

"Indeed. If we were to challenge her, we would best increase chances of success by forming a divine coalition; combining powers, strengths and intelligences together. Thus, the likelihood of our being able to match, if not potentially overpower her, would be much higher."

Sakalthôr's gaze flicked to Tochen as he launched some more cheese and made a nonsensical comment. Clearly that idiot-god will prove to be nothing more than a liability in the future. It would probably be wise to keep Tochen out of these schemes, lest he inadvertently mess things up. Shadows swirled and eddied around Sakalthôr's physical manifestation for a moment, and he became indistinct, flickering in a manner akin to a faulty television screen, solidifying barely an instant after the cheese had passed through him. "Who said I was late?" Sakalthôr asked, his voice faintly mocking. "For all you know, I could have seen everything that came to pass, from the shadows..."

Tochen laughed, the god made himself shadow...that was cool. He said "I said you were late, and for all you know I could have your position monitered at all times. Captain!" A large cheese demon approached him, "Yes, sir?"
"Keep an eye on this shadow."
"Yes, sir."

" I have been here since time immemorial.I am fear.I am insanity.I am terror." said Rhakurrgarah,the air around him fluctuating.

[Videssos]

Sakalthôr chuckled faintly. "You can't catch a shadow that does not wish to be seen." The Lord of Darkness glanced at the cheese demon for a moment, amusement among the emotions that flashed in his dark silver eyes.
Sakalthôr turned to regard Rhakurrgarah, when he spoke. "Good for you. As for myself; there was once a time when naught existed but Darkness. Darkness was always there. Long before Light, and after, too, with Shadow."

Tochen nodded and said "Nighttime. That's when shadows are 'captured'. And cut it with the dramatic speech will ya? It'd be annoying if I spoke like that." He puffed out his chest and said "I am Tochen, god of madness, it has been around for centuries, lurking in people's mind, feeding off their dark fears. See? Not as fun."

[Kostahn]

Tsurates took this moment to enter the conversation: "But how could you know it is darkness if there is no light to comare it to?" it asked "Darkness is part of light, light is part of darkness. Your claims of superiority are amusing, but misguided" its eyes focused on all the gods at once. "We could defeat Xeria with ease if we work together, however I see little point in doing so, and this theory happens to focus around the fact that this 'Xeria' has no allies of her own". A feathered shape burst out of the hole in its head, before flitting into the marble-like flesh of the deity itself.

It looked to the god summoning cheese "You are no god of chaos, simply a god of randomness." it said darkly, allowing all in the area to understand. "A god of chaos causes ruin and destruction, but also helps creations of others, if only to cause further ruination on their part." it added "I killed many a dorf by turning their livestock into viscious terretorial beasts. It killed other creations of mine, but that was nature, you are not natural, you are random" If the deity had eyelids it would have scowled "Chaos is natural, order is instated by unnatural organisms, and randomness is an insult to both order and chaos" it added, spike punching out of a limb as if to punctuate a point.

It spun its eyes at Tochen "Suit yourself" it muttered, the message never reaching him "Still, madness is better than randomness" it added, symbols floating over and being decoded by only Tochen. "I know a god called Dynobius who specialized in nighmares too... Before the gravity was instated, all the dwarves with nightmares floated off to Arro, never to be seen again... Very interesting" It shook its mask, and looked around at the rest of the gods.

He puffed out his chest and said "I am Tochen, god of madness, it has been around for centuries, lurking in people's mind, feeding off their dark fears. See? Not as fun."

"In the night, Shadow becomes Darkness. And thus, is still within my domain." Sakalthôr paused momentarily, before adding. "It doesn't really work with you, anyway. You don't really suit those kind of speeches. And I was merely replying in a like manner to Rhakurrgarah. Seeing as he decided to randomly state how long he thinks he's been around, and what he represents."

When Tsurates became involved in the conversation, Sakalthôr turned to regard it, his face devoid of any visible expression. "It is only natural to come to the realisation that what is now called Darkness, was before Light. Though it simply was, before Light. And thus, one could only recognise either for what they are, by the fact that both Light and Dark are present, and oppose accordingly."

Sakalthôr lingered for a moment, before continuing. "Indeed, there are many possibilities regarding Xeria. And since she is apparently the Goddess of Reality, it would not be impossible for her to simply 'create,' allies. Or for that matter, manipulate reality itself against those who oppose her. These are merely a few reasons among many I can think of, that one should not brazenly charge into conflict against the aforementioned deity."

Tochen nodded "Tis true, in company I am the funny one, all be it, random, my brother is the creepy one. I prefer to be chaotic, when gods aren't about, pesky ones at that, actually." He sat back summoning a goblet filled with, not pepsi, but coke. He couldn't even digest it, but it still tasted good!
