Vesuvius walked a long way but never did find whom was making the beautiful sounds. After a while of having given up on finding the being who was singing, he DID however see something else. He saw creatures somewhat like like himself. They had very broad shoulders & seemed to be made of a grainy substance. They were large & muscular. From the amount of power they radiated, he knew they weren't gods. Later he would know them as "ogres". He approached them cautiously, in hopes that they wouldn't be frightened of him....

Brazto watched with glee as his ogres set to work. They had arrived to find the hills a suitable home, with a fertile river valley providing plenty of food. For now his ogres slept in holes they had dog into the hill, but that would change soon enough. While most of the ogres would begin hunting and foraging in the valley, he and a dozen ogres would return to the forest and cut down trees to use in the building homes. Already four ogres were on their way down there, he and the other eight had stayed to seethe others off. This would be their first real journey into the valley, and no one knew what danger might await them.

"My children, let us now go back to the Singing Wood, for we will not live our lives in dirty holes in a hill. We shall build great burrows, and you, my ogres, will be as kings of the hills! Now come with me, to the woods we march."

And march they did, down the hill and into the grassland below. As he stepped through the grasses, Brazto saw the first group of ogres standing near the wood. They seemed to be talking with a strange figure, dark skinned and black-haired, wearing a shimmering suit. Brazto, very curious, moved quickly towards the group.

Vesuvius spoke to the creatures telepathically in images, sounds, smells & emotions because he knew these creatures did not kbow spoken language yet.

"I come in peace, I wish to speak with your leader. Will you present me to your leader? Let it be known that I am known as Vesuvius, god of the fiery mountain. God of the liquid fire known as lava. I see that you people are in the process of creating a great society. I wish to help by blessing your people with gifts that will help you on your way to greatness."

"Hello" Saso said "My name is Saso. I come from the desert. I was hoping that there would be others like me. I have control over the Sand. May i ask who you two are. Hopefully we can help each other if you wish."
Saso then waited for a reply.

Hakiru

Hakiru watched as the man shrank back to his normal size, he was still taller than her but only by an inch or two. "My name is Hakiru," said the young goddess, "I come from a forest of trees over in the distance." Hakiru points towards the trees in the distance. "I don't understand why you live in a land where the dirt if yellow but I am happy to meet someone who does not wish harm upon me and my people."

Arkos sat in the sun.

Wen he stopped time, no one else knew.

He could freeze any moment in time, stop the world from turning, and only Crai would know.

Even his brother couldn't notice.

His brother may have the cosmos, but Arkos had all of time as his domain.

Saso smiled "I am glad to meet you. I live in the land with yellow dirt because it is where i was made and what i am made of. I do however have a question for you. Have you been contact by the person who created you? I say this because I found out through dreams about myself and I only wish to speak to him. Also if you like you can accompany towards those mountains. I had sense another powerful force that direction perhaps we have a lot of brothers and sisters with us.

Hakiru

Hakiru had thought about the question and quickly came to a conclusion, "I was created by the being known as the Unspoken Tree, I don't know if that was who created you but I can show it too you if you like!" Hakiru had a bright smile on her face, she was happy to meet someone new. "I'd love to go with you," she said with a perky smile.

"I do not believe i came from a tree. I remember seeing in the dream being thrown to this world" Saso said "Anyways, lets head that way now we should reach it in a few hours if we keep a steady pace. Or if you like I can grow to a giant size and you get on my shoulder so we'll get there quicker."

Hakiru panicked at the thought of being at such a great height. "I'm sorry, but I would prefer to not be in great heights," she replied, trying to gather herself. She felt deathly afraid of going into the sky, because she was so used to the land and saw the sky as a danger.

Cryana drifted across the world, looking for some other life. The yellowy men she had encountered in the vast sands had been amusing, but had soon turned her away. She wandered the lands, trying to find the secret of creating life. Everywhere she went, she brought the blessing of snow and ice. She came to a small clearing, populated by a strange creature. It had a body of a woman like her, but with serpentine hair. It was beautiful. She loved the way it's scales shined like the ice of her home. She asked where its creator was.

by **Ism** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 3:43 pm

Brazto approached the strange man. As he neared, his ogres turned and pointed him out to the man, who turned as Brazto came closer. Power radiated off the man, Brazto quickly realized he was for the first time face to face with another god. Brazto found that he felt strong kinship with this being, a smile formed as he greeted the stranger.

"Greetings friend, let me welcome you to my domain, the Haven Hills. I see you have met my children already, I hope they have not been to bothersome. The little rascals have much to learn you see? I am Brazto the Earthshaker, Lord of Struggle. Who might you be?"

Saso understood her, so he replied "Ok we should be there in few hours. I'll lead the way"

Saso then started to walk toward the mountain. He felt happy about meeting Hakiru, he finally knew someone in his family. Hopefully the force he was about to meet was nice as well. After 4 hours of walking they made it to the mountain.

"Are you up to climbing the mountain? The force is on the over side of it. If you want i could grow and it would take very little time for us to go and meet the force on the other side. I promise that it isn't that bad being up so high." Saso said while smiling

Even after the 4 hour trek, Hakiru was still a bit fearful of the man. While he was clearly of a kind heart, she still couldn't stand the thought of being so high up. "If it's okay with you I can leap my way to the top, if you want to grow to a large size and work your way up it's okay." After this she began to make great leaps working her way to the top of the mountain.

Yami

The forest she lived in had grown, but as it grew it became more and more twisted. From the trees, thick and twisting bramble grew and began to cover the forest floor, choking other plants to death. Yami didn't mind this but she was a bit annoyed by the occasional cut she got from the thorns.

Soon the earth in the center of the forest began to shift. At first walls began to rise from the ground, the walls were made of gnarled roots, stones, and dirt but were protected by the thick bramble, which looked slightly more dangerous than the rest of it which grew around the walls. Then a small keep rose, the turrets covered with thick bramble but the walls of the keep were made of various stones from the earth, held together by a mortar like substance. Inside, the keep was lit by bizarre torches that burned blue, the fire emitted a dim light that reveled the location of various things inside of the keep.

Yami took a step inside and was fascinated by the size of the structure, the interior was bare but the size was greater than that of anything she had a memory of. As she explored the interior she found a large bedroom which contained a bed of great size in addition to a few empty containers. As she explored the keep, she found various empty room but one stood out to her. It was located towards the center and contained a large throne made of stone. She examined it and decided to sit in it. When she had leaned back on the chair, the sounds of an great stone being moved shocked her. She leaped out of the chair and tried to find the source of the noise.

As she made her way to the source of the sound a new sound penetrated the still air. The sound of feet shuffling along a floor. She peeked into the room and was amazed by the creatures that shuffled around the room. They appeared to be Hana but at the same time they were not. They wore blank expressions and were made of gnarled roots. Along the roots were thin streams of the purple sap that was used to forge her own body, and in the center of their chest was a glowing purple light. Fascinated by these creatures, she took a step into the room. When the foot landed into the room, all of the creatures turned their heads and looked at Yami for a second before getting on their knees, bowing to her.

At first, Yami was surprised but soon an evil smirk appeared on her face. It was at that moment that she realized she was more than a lost soul, she was the new queen of a kingdom of darkness. And it was at that moment, that Yami realized she could rival, or even surpass, the power of Hakiru herself.

"OK, i'll see you on the other side." Saso said as he grew.

Once he was large enough to grab on to any ledge he started climbing. After a couple minutes of climbing he got to the top. He saw a group of figures standing around. One had a glowing face, then there was one large greenish figure surrounded by smaller green figures. He got down to the bottom of the mountain. He then started to shrink the his normal size, which was about the same size as the Large green figure.

He then called out saying "Hello over there, My name is Saso. I've been travelling for a day because i sense strong forces hear. May I ask who you are?"

A few minutes after Saso reached the top, Hakiru had finally reached the top. Instead of focusing on what Saso was up to, she looked around the world and was amazed at what she saw. The endless, ever changing world around her.

The Gorgon turned around, and nervously looked at the magnificent being. "My creator, my father, he likes to call himself, is Qogaldir. The Lord of Beasts, some call him. He's out collecting the other children. He's planning on taking us on a 'trip' he says. You look kinda like him. Your presence and all. If I may ask so politely, what might you be called?"
A booming sound is suddenly heard over the ridge. Something like large footsteps.
"Ooh! There he is! Come, talk to him yourself."
The massive figure is carrying many different varieties of creatures in his arms. Specimens such as Cerberus, a hound of tindalos, an ice wyrm, and a creature that looks like a kraken but with a rock shell are among them. He sets down his children, tells them to behave, then shrinks to a reasonable size for a conversation.
"Ah! You must be Cryana, right? You were talking with my little Medusa? Such a cutie she is. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Let us be as brothers then, sons of the Earth itself. I accept your offer of an alliance, and vow that should you ever be in need we shall stand by you, and you will always be welcome in our Hills. But you have spoken of gifts, Vesuvius, and I would have them, though my ogres and I are simple folk, we have little to offer in return."

by **Terranubis** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 7:46 pm

"You helped create my home. That in itself is enough of an offer. I shall present the first of many gifts right now." Vesuvius held his arms & hands out in the direction of his home. Concentrating his powers, a little while later a table sized black rock comes into view. It is being carried here by a tendril of lava. The tendril lets the rock down in fron of Vesuvius & begins its trek back into the volcanoe's mouth.

On the flat platform of black rock is a a strange shiny square thing of an orange redish color on stick of the same shiny hue (you would later call it bronze). It was encrusted with green peices of stone in certain areas (emeralds).

"I see that your people are currently limited to using stone & wood axes for cutting trees. I saw that stone & wood axes break very easily. Even more alarming are the amount of injuries suffered from using brute force to bring the trees down. Your creatures are big & strong, but still, they deserve better. This substance is much stronger than stone or wood. It will make better axes. Shall I demonstrate?"

by **Terranubis** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:08 pm

"Wait, I think I just heard somebody call out to us. I think we should see what they want."

"Saso you say? I am Vesuvius. What is your purpose in coming here to us? Do you come in peace?" Vesuvius called out to the voice. Simultaneously he grabs the axe just in case. He hadn't even known why he grabbed the axe. You could say Vesuvius needed something to grip tightly. After a split second, he relizes that if it hurt trees, it might hurt other things too. He felt a strange presence go into his system. It was something he had felt before, back when he had thought to make his suit. He had felt the need to protect himself for some reason. This was not something insignificant.... This was not the last of this behavior the world would see....

by **Ism** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:37 pm

Brazto looked around, and as he turned he saw a large being made of yellow rock, or maybe it was dirt? It was hard to tell from this distance, but it was looking right at their group. There also seemed to be smaller figure behind the yellow one, though it seemed less interested in the group.

"Hello there strangers, I am Brazto, lord of these lands, what is your purpose here?"

by **Matta** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:46 pm

Saso notice that the one known as Vesuvius was holding an axe and seemed prepared to attack. He prepared to form a weapon on his hand to defend if need but he did not morph it just yet. All Saso really wanted to do was find out about Crai.

"Nice to meet you both, I do come in peace, I'm not sure about Vesuvius who's seems ready to attack. Anyways, my friend and I were just exploring. I had felt a presence of a powerful force. You see, I've had dreams of a being creating other beings, so i set out to find more of them. I believe we all were created by the same being, I hear him speak his name in my dream, his name is Crai. Have either of you come into contact with him or no?"

by **Terranubis** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:53 pm

After hearing the part about coming in peace, Vesuvius drops the axe & says "Yes, I have encountered Crai. He created me, he is my father. I have indeed spoken with him"

by **Ism** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 9:18 pm

"Crai? I know only that he awoke me from my slumber in the heart of the Earth, and I saw him when I first dug my way to the surface, though we did not speak to each other."
