...And then my fellow Gods, Prime bless them, deliberated until the threat made itself apparent by flooding part of the forest. We have since fixed that... I think. Either way, they finally decided to lock his soul, and so, we reunited near the pillars, where Kilil had fallen. We gathered our energies and attempted to lock the beast into a state halfway between life and death.
It was impossible,
Then, we tried to heal his body, so that the seas would not die and leave behind nothing but a barren wasteland. Our plan was to then imprison him, so that he could look back on his actions and realize that he
But, the healing didn't work, either.
Finally, after
However, we couldn't just let Kilil's soul free, or it would unleash uncontrolled destruction. So, we also took the essence of destruction, but instead of infusing it into the Aether as well, which would
Not much happened for a while after that. We continued exploring the world. We continued exploring our power. We continued exploring ourselves. Legerdemain vanished, but not without scaring Kariosa some more. I think she sleeps with an eye open now.
The others, we haven't done much. But even then, there's something that troubles me. I can sense something wrong. I...
Kaaysel stopped writing (Writing! What a wonderful thing! Maybe he would teach the others, if they were nice. Maybe. Except Trelia, he wouldn't teach Trelia anything. She didn't deserve or even need it) when he noticed something staining the enormous scroll he had crafted and was currently using to write. He looked up, and noticed that it was about to rain.
"Gal'Duls you bastard..." He thought, before standing up. It was about time he moved away from the pillar he had been sitting with his back to for an unspecified ammount of time, after all. Even if the chronicle was important, and he wasn't even sure it was, surely there were other things to do now that continuing it was not possible for the time being. Leaving something for the posterity (What posterity, Kaaysel had asked himself before beginning, but decided to go through with it anyway) was not that much of a priority, when there was hardly anything in the world besides the Gods themselves and the other creations of Prime.
Perhaps, he thought, he could look into the matter that had been making him feel uneasy since they finished the sealing ritual.
With this in mind, he accessed the small hiding spot he had created below his pillar, and put the scroll inside, to keep it from getting wet. He then climbed up onto his pillar, and looked around, not minding the sensation of rain hitting his skin, he was used to that by now. He looked around, but saw no one there. They could not be very far, but they were certainly not within view. The only thing within view that was of any interest was Kilil's crater, where a lake had formed, though grass refused to grow around it. Grass refused to grow anywhere near the pillars, anyway.
Kaaysel sat down on his pillar, with his back towards the Well and the nightmares sealed above, and wondered what his fellow Gods were doing, and if any of them felt uneasy as well, in this world given to them.
This world that was no longer new.
