"I do not think I would do it often but if reusing the souls for new creatures is allowed I will be doing that a lot. But, all souls are mortal unless we defy your creed to protect them from it. So even higher being would know death. So isn't that still reincarnation? I agree reincarnation should be rare. I just want your permission to be able to bring a soul to you to ask permission. I thought it best discussed before the fact."
She would stroke the egg. "As it is now, I have grown to strong to interact with the material plane directly and will be creating agents to do so for me. I wanted to use some of my chosen souls for that if it did not bother you."
Allianda shifts and nods at Baxtra's words. "I know how you feel. I have now four races under my care that are sentient. Each distinctly different."
She would wince again. "If you will give me a moment." She would start to glow bright enough she couldn't be seen as the pulses of power gain a faster rhythm. Eventually the glow fades and Allianda is sitting there with an egg in her lap stroking it. It is a multihued egg with a dominant amethyst sheen.
Everyone present could feel a demigod within it.
"Thank you for waiting."
Stroking the egg she slowly started to develop magical ideas and concrete them into actual concepts.
Abjuration: Protection and guarding magics.
Conjuration: Conjuring protective spirits or creatures to assist
Transmutation: The ability to transform yourself or other things to suit your needs.
The last magical concept wasn't really one to be wielded, as much as being experienced.
Mutations: Arcane and Nature oriented. The ability to gain different abilities through birth or other circumstances.
Once she had solidified those a shard of herself appeared and with a wave disappeared.
The shard floated outside the material plane and would make two things. One, an artifact. A deck of cards that could cause mutations and worked powerful transmutation magics.
The second was a plane. It would be named Rangi(Heaven). It was a plane that touched all other planes and the material plane. (similar to the ethereal plane) Once a week(IRL) Allianda can reset part or all of the plane like it was to start. (aka being able to undo something a god does that displeases her) Her plane as 10 "level" and within each level is a different versions of paradise or heaven. The top layer being her domain and where her sanctuary will be. Living or dead creatures can visit and this could be a place where the two intermingle. Even among a single layer it may have different versions of the same "type" of paradise. Like the "Warriors" paradise will have Valhalla along with another races version of a warriors paradise.

Veldrin consider yourself having hit your cap of 30 AP so count down from there and gain again every week
Muthadh finds the house grows to accommodate his size and she makes a chair for him. "Veldrin, this is Muthadh. Muthadh, this is Veldrin, well a shard of him anyways."
She would let their introduction happen before continuing their conversation.
"Besides your permission what restrictions would you impose? We can always tell you what we would like to do to the soul. Having it reborn for our purposes. Either to be a Hero or a legend, but that does not tell us what restrictions YOU wish to impose."
She rubbed her stomach and shifted slightly as a small pulse of power came from her.
"I could easily see taking the souls that worship me and reincarnate the worthy into greater beings. Like Dreagon, or a new creation I am going to come up with Angels. But, if you are only allowing a few then that can not be done. I want to know what your criteria are before I propose anything so I know the frame work I am working in. As a Goddess of Life, I know that we are diametrically opposed but I know we can come to some sort of agreement."
Another pulse from her and a slight cringe. "Shh, little one. Its okay." She purred stroking her stomach.
"If I believe souls are worthy enough to ascend, so to speak, to become something greater. Would I be allowed to reincarnate them and do so? With the rules of reincarnation being they do not remember their previous lives until they ascend to say be an Angel and a direct servant of their gods?"
"Every circumstance will be different. As I stated before, the god could come to you with their case for Reincarnation per person. None of us can predict exactly what we would want to reincarnate anyone for right now." Allianda said carefully rubbing her pregnant stomach again.
"Also Veldrin, if souls can not be reborn or even ascend to something else then your plane will eventually get too full. But that will be in the future. It is something to consider."
Allianda finshed her work with the gate as they watched and she cast it onto Anya. "No, I also need to inform you that The Forge Father has retreated from the world. He has asked me to pass on his teachings to you." She said and each of them would receive a small glowing bit of light. "His knowledge is contained within." She stated simply.
"Have you considered adopting the Fair Folk?" She asked Veldrin before looking at the Messenger.
"Sweety can you tell Muthadh to come here? He should meet his Father."
Allianda would conjure up a ball of light to go floating through the shadow plane leaving a mote trail back to where she was so if Baxtra stumbled upon it she could follow it to her.
Allianda could be found in the one place where light and greenery barely pierced the murky shadow. It was mostly her in the little wooden house she had created in the borrowed energy her hand gently working at the ring in her hands.
The house ever shifting and changing as the power faded into the shadow and it was "regrown' again. She seemed content with this as it allowed the "excess" power she bled off to have an outlet.
When Baxtra found her she would smile and offer up a chair. "Hello Baxtra, please sit. I just now await Veldrin so we may finish our discussion."
Upon seeing the messenger she smiled. "Hello there, how may I help you?"
Allianda waits patiently for the other gods to come to her and sighs. The lose of the Forge Father saddened her a bit. It was clear that she was saddened and her normal glow was lessened.
Thinking on it for a long while she would start forging strange ring as she thought about it. It would only be able to be activated by the mighty. It would be a shared thing among all the races. It could not be created by anyone but her. A weaving of natural materials and iridesium. Each of twist of the Ring created a new layer she imbued with magic. This ring had a specific purpose.
It looked like a merger of metal, wood, magic and stone. This ring was actually a gate. The gate itself would be placed in the center of the land called Clareian. The ring itself towered above the landscape a dragon easily able to walk through. It had strange runes along its surface not even the gods could really decipher. One thing was true it was powerful.
Unlike most artifacts that would be created this was not to be wielded in combat. This artifact sent Hero's someplace. It sent them to her moon, or if a God wished, his hero to a place of his choosing to test his hero.
This Ring would be called The Hero's Gate. This was a two way gate so those on the moon that were worthy could visit Anya. Or Hero's could return from where the god's sent them.
The God's could send Hero's to this gate to test them. Or even those they wish to test to see if they are worthy of being a Hero's. If it is the Latter, the gate can only be opened by the god not the person in question.
She looked at him and blinked. "Alright, then we go to out Son's domain. I can't remain here without destroying everything. Even your lovely isle." Seeing the plants wither and die as she floated above the ground.
" I will see you there so we can continue our conversation. Baxtra, Veldrin. I will wait for you. And Veldrin, have you considered our powers would just negate the others" She asked this before fading away.
That would be a cosmic Decree I would think. And a big deal because it also effects the GODS and would mean gods couldn't walk your plane at all.
Not just mortals which is the flavor of Most Decrees. And in a way is kinda blocking anyone from exploring it and seeing your creation.
Normally decrees don't effect what Gods can necessarily do. As in travel the planes and the like.
You also would need to gain a rank also. Since you have already spent your one cosmic Decree on everything must die.
And there are the normal Parameters for that.
Quick question. Why do you want to block her? Afraid she is going to go on a life giving spree?
This also begs the questions of outsiders whose body is their soul. So only when it is destroyed they die and their soul is destroyed when that happens? Just if someone makes things like that.
The process is long but the Llieldasine are patient. When the plant has had its fill they will indicate that and sees if they need anything else.
They don't know how to repair the shadowstuff but they can tend to the plant side of things. One of the Llieldasine would bring forward a stylized totem of the Great Mother trying to explain that this was her Jungle.
Once the ship was ready to take off again the Llieldasine would work with them to make a signal for when they needed to land so they could open the jungle below.
The three would once again move back together to do their last magics. Repelling the natural creatures from the flying plant so it would not be nested or eaten. Then moved back to the group.
The group of the Llieldasine near the Lorekeepers let the Wipsi take their choice among the fruit and would eat themselves.
They would point to various things telling them words of what things were called.
One pointed up to a large bird saying its name and they watched it approach the boat and then suddenly turns around with a squawk of irritation.
The ones there pointed to the ship and made a motion with their arms over their head that looked like an O. Then one, using her hands acted like the bird and ran into the bubble and flew away.
The old tree nodded and would hobble forward. Only the other two four armed women walked forward.
A couple of things the Lorekeepers notice is that they smell nice, like any flower. Their scent slowly tugging them in. It didn't influence their decisions any. It just was a pleasant smell.
The Faolchu and the Male Wispi definitely could smell them as they got close. They smelled like food. Sweet tasty food. The three women would examine the shadowstuff before they gently applied their nature and healing magics to it. Nature to speed up the natural rooting process and to expunge the few remaining creatures out of the shadow stuff. The Healing to see if it could repair at least the fungus oriented parts. They moved slowly and carefully making sure they got out all the creatures.
The ones that stayed behind talked among themselves and soon baskets were coming out of the trees with picked fruits and plants being offered to the Lorekeepers. They took great pains to point at the fruit, give it its name. And show them how to eat it as some did look inedible.
As the Lorekeepers approach more of these women come out. Each legged and beautiful. Then they see that it is a bit of a procession and they see three obviously older women in the center. These women had four arms and they seemed to be respected by all around. Each was carrying a walking stick that had a different wood. The oldest, looked like a walking tree and she carefully moved.
They walked up to the young one that had approached and she smiled up at them.
"They can not speak the language of the plants nor the language the Great Mother taught us. But I think they thought their floating plant wasn't in danger."
The old one nodded. "It may not have been in danger in their eyes but we know how quickly things change here. Well I am sure they don't want to be here long. We can see if the plant portion of their flying plant will respond to our nature magics. If not we will guard it from the animals here." She nods and would watch them come back seeing more of their kind.
The looked at the Faolchu and would stay where they are waiting for the approach of the Lore keepers.
The old tree stepped forward and motioned at their ship. She then reached in her belt and pulled out a sharp piece of obsidian and cut into her arm. They saw it leak a clear substance and she held her hand over it. They saw magic radiate in the form of green light. When her hand moved away the wound was healed. She pointed again to the ship and made walking motions with her fingers.
She looks at her blankly for a moment and then points the ship and then the ground and holds the model up before pulling it to the ground.
She then waves her hand over a patch of ground and what look like some kind of vine pops up and vaguely resembles the treetops in the shape of a dragon. Then she digs a trench around and it is filled with water.
She again points to the ship and then hovers the model over the treetops and runs it back and forth and the ship slowly sinks until it drops out of her hand and crushes the "trees" and breaks.
Points to herself and the broken "trees" and shakes her head.
"Kino, kino, kino." She repeats with a tone that didn't sound....good. She then lifts the model and repairs the "trees" before she shows them reaching up to bring it to the ground. Once it looks healthy again the trees lift it up and back into the air.
They do not see her eyes following the illusion like it should but she notices the woman and would watch her as she comes down and kneels. She cocks her head at the words hearing them and giggles shaking her head and touches the ground.
"E kore e te arero taua matou korero. Ko oro ngā koutou arero. He aha i karakia ki a koutou? Ko e te tahi mea taa ê? E kore koutou e taea whakarongo ki a koutou whakato mate nui?"
Knowing language wouldn't work she would cup the dirt in her hands and she molded a rough looking shape of their ship. She points to it and murmurs and the woman sees mushrooms and other fungi grow out of it.
She points to the model then to their ship.
She then points to the fungi and they start to wilt and die and she covers her ears as if in pain. Speaking she says.
"Rongo tatou i mate ia ratou. Unuhia e matou ia ratou ki raro, ki te whakaora ia ratou."
She then points to the great trees around them and holds up the little figure and a small tendril vine comes from the ground with some coaxing and grabs the figure gently putting it on the ground and she watches the mushrooms grow strong and healthy again.
She looks up at her expectantly as if asking did she understand.
The trees slowly let go of their prize and would rise back up to their full height. Their canopies moving back in. As the craft was covered in a strange fog like substance they watched the creatures on board scramble and bring strange beasts to the top. Silence reigned for a long time.
Then one brave Llieldasine looked at her tail and it split into two legs simular to the female Wispi. Taking her first steps out from her hiding spot.
The Wispi see the plants move and start to walk. What looked like pale skinned female moved underneath the cover of some flowering leaves. It took them a second to recognize that as hair. Her arms were a pale white and while it looked simular to them its legs looked like a plant. Almost as if it could plant itself into the ground.
It slowly approached. No weapon in hand. Its eyes staring up through the shadowy fog that covered it. No clothing at all could be seen on her as she approached. She stopped and crouched half way to the ship and started talking in a tongue unfamiliar to them. She was talking to the plants encouraging them to root. The soil was rich and moist and would help them.
Then she looked up at those on board and would speak loudly obviously addressing them.
"Tena, Ko ahau te tamahine o te Mother Tuatahi. Te tikanga matou ki a koutou, kihai i aha."
News travels fast in the jungle when you know how to listen. The Llieldasine, knew how to listen. Matrons and enclaves alike heard the news of new plants and creatures flying above. The matrons prayed to the Mother and consulted with themselves before they sent scout teams to find out what they were.
The scouts brought news of strange dark things floating above. How it sounded like it was crying out in pain and hunger even as the birds ate at it. There were also creatures flying the great floating plants. Some looked part animal and others strange but similar to them. Just with two legs.
The matrons gathered in the Great Enclave to discuss this. One, named Shianz spoke up after rounds of discussion.
"We act. We can not let those plants suffer anymore. They obviously don't listen to the world as we do so know not that they can descend amongst the Old Ones.
"What if they attack us Shianz? The Great Mother no longer walks with us?"
An older matron, her skin now like bark of an old tree, her four arms limbs slowly slithered forward. "Are we not our Mother's Children? Were we not her first? She entrusted this land to us. Let them attack us if they dare. We listen to Anya and gain her wisdom. We bathe in the light of Aroha, our mother's love. We grow even stronger with her teachings. We stand on the mother's blessed land." The old ones voice was low but spoke with the strength of the great trees.
"We would remiss in believe all that come to us will attack. We will save their floating plants first. Then, we will make contact." There was a murmur but slowly agreements came up.
"Prepare to wake the Great ones."
--------------------------
The first thing the Whispi noticed was the birds squawking and suddenly leaving at the swift turn. As their cries died out in the distance they heard nothing.
Pure silence from the noisy jungle below. Then cracking, creaking as magics were wrought down below. The trees twisted and moved and long branches moved up an into the air with a suddenness that was surprising. The branches reached up grabbing at the ships. Curling into them and started to pull them down. The entire jungle below was coming alive!
As the first of the ships that actually got grabbed settled in the branches they would slowly be pulled down into the folding leaves of the canopy.
Below, those that stayed on the ships would see each of the ships captured slowly moved through the branches of the great trees and down below them. Looking down they saw rich moist soil cleared and their ships were put there by the trees themselves.
Some, who looked closely at the trees could almost make out faces in the bark watching them before the blinked an it was gone.
Each ship one by one was put onto the soil as silence surrounded them and the Llieldasine watched from hiding.
Allianda looked at Goya and nodded. One by one, the original gods withdrew from the world. She was saddened greatly but knew she could not keep them here. As Goya's people trickled into his forge she motioned to the shining metal. "Use that with your power on the inside and it will lock you away. I will use my power here to lock it on the outside. I will pass on your teachings Forge Father, to the others. They will be happy to know your lessons will not fade."
Once he closed his great doors for the last time she would create Iridesium and magically strengthens it locking the door from the outside fusing it within the stone. Then she reshaped the world to hide him and his creations for the rest of eternity.
As she faded to the outer realms she thought of how best to tell the others.
Many things were happening in the world and the whisps did not yet know how to travel between the planes. She would need messengers and a way for them to move.
She gathered her power and concentrated on making such things possible.
----------------------------------------------
As they approached Dragon their were four things they noticed.
The first, was the sheer size of the trees. The beach was almost completely in shadow as they approached. The trees could easily have three ships under their canopy stacked, one on top of the other, and they wouldn't hit its upper branches.
The second, was the riot of color. Trees is all shapes and colors dotted the landscape, flowers and vines crisscrossing creating a giant web of plant life that gave no real passage for large ships. They would have to go over. Even as they did the tops of the trees were a riot of color and different visual textures of leaves.
The third thing they found out was the noise. This jungle was noisy during all parts of the day. Calls of exotic animals and birds. Roars of hunting creatures. The rain and thunder. Nothing seemed to ever have a silent moment. They watched below as birds of various colors would fly up to inspect the ships. Many small or the size of large cats. Others, the size of large dogs with massive bills that tried to pluck at the shadow stuff only to drop it after tasting it not finding it to their liking and flying away with irritated squawks.
Some of the smaller ones stayed to hitch a ride as they went along happily singing and playing around. Some taking a liking to the ships and used them as nests.
Monkeys would run across the canopy howling at them until they left their territory.
At night when things did get quieter they would see lights in and on the canopy as bioluminescent trees and creatures moved out during the night.
The last thing they noticed. Their didn't seem to be any clear place to land. The trees seemed to make a giant carpet over the entire continent, including the mountain and canyon areas. From above the entire continent looked like a dragon from above with its tail curled around to its snout on the right.

Allianda smiled and would look at Goya. ”I am hoping you enjoy this gift. It took a bit to create. I must be going. I am growing to strong for this plane to hold me. You can find me in the plane of Shadow should you need to find me.” With that she shifts to the plane of shadow floating without touching anything.
-------------------
The Allianda with Veldrin quietly waited for him to consider their words as plant life grew around her eventually making a comfortable chair for her to sit in that blossomed constantly. Vines and tendrils always reaching for her wrapping around her. Veldrin could see that her power was growing. She had taken on the mantle of life and magic and even now more power was being drawn to her. Soon she wouldn’t be able to walk the material plane unless she did something about it. As it was he could feel her gather a new domain to her name. That of Magic and then community.
"Shall we take this to Abbadon? I can not stay here much longer without wrecking things around me. My power is growing." They would feel her power swell and she shifts to the Plane of Abbadon.
——————
The Allianda at the enclave would slowly work with her Llieldasine and as a long cycle was created they would make the first calendars. Making and tracking the seasons, days, months and years.
Calender:
1 Rotation=1 Day -- Starts from dawn and ends at the new Rotation's dawn. 28 hours in a day. 7 Hours in Twilight, 3 1/2 at dawn and dusk. 7 hours of full daylight and 7 hours of full night.
1 Jaunt=1 Week which consists of 7 Rotations
1 Moon Cycle = 42 rotations, 6 Jaunts aka 1 Month, as the moon goes through different phases from Young moon to Young Moon (Aka New moon to new moon), 13 of these occurs during a Journey.
1 Journey = 1 Season Year -- To mark the "celestial gods" Journey from Birth to Death. Aka the 7 seasons, homage to the first seven gods. Also is One Moon Year 13 Moon Cycles(Months)
1 Sun Year = 10 Journeys -- Every Sun year the sun changes color.
With that complete she would leave her Llieldasine and head down into the earth to check in on her Shinookas. While they were doing well they were unorganized and so she banded them together into farming communities. Establishing a society for them that consisted of family unit clans. While they traveled to trade they were mostly sedentary. Farming took work and dedication. With that they also rotated their “fields” moving from area to area to let things have time to replenish.
During this time she taught them many things. How to wield healing magics to augment their medicinal practices. She also taught them how to use their claws to great effect, more than just the basic swipes. They could be extremely deadly with them. The third thing she taught them was how to camouflage themselves to be undetected when other entered their domain. Using the natural surroundings and how their own bodies looked to blend in looking like the rocks around them.
Then she took the wisest among them and taught them to be seers.
With that she would leave them once again letting them continue to grow. Soon they would meet the Silari and she thought it best they be prepared just in case.
From there she returned to her moon and looked around. It was time to create the two new races she had been working on.
First she reached into the heart of her moon and pulled out more Iridesium. With it she started to form the skeleton of the first creature. Six powerful legs, each ending in wicked claws. The legs were short due to the gravity of the world but would be able to withstand the weight they would be carrying. The body next, strong thick ribs and a spine that ended in a long saurian tail. While the spine was horizontal with the ground over the legs, once it reached the front hips it went perpendicular making a more centaur style build. Another set of ribs and sternum supported a set of shoulders and strong arms that also ended in claws. The head was draconic in nature and had a set of razor sharp teeth designed for tearing. Stepping back she looked at the glittering creation. Every part of it was deadly and the strength of its skeleton was hard to match.
”You shall be called Dragon’s” She stated clearly as she formed musculature and scales for it. The creature stood before her flexing and moving its body walking around its claws digging into the soil as it moved. Their scales could be of any color and they were born with multicolored scales and they stayed that way until they hit maturity and they solidified into one color pattern. She gave birth to many of them spreading them throughout the moon. They fought and defeated, and were defeated by many of the creatures there but soon. One of them started to change how he fought with claw and fang. Soon learning the tricks of the trade to really cause damage. This new technique spread like wildfire among the Dragon’s and they gained the upper hands. They formed bands on their own. Hunting and thriving.
They determined leaders by who was the most cunning and the strongest. The Dragon’s developed their own honor code. One that would grow with the generations and became a part of dragon life. Injuries were common and often fatal.
~~~
One female decided enough was enough and started questing to find ways to repair the injuries of her clan mates.
Allianda smiled upon that female and to test her sent her visions of a special flower deep in Death’s Cradle. The flower had the power to heal any wound. A deep canyon on the moon. Unlike most canyons this one was very wide and open. Only a few rocks here or there. It was home to the Scythe Wings. A territorial bird that had bone growths on its wings and its favored tactic was to swoop down and slice its prey with its wings before circling back to eat what it had cut off. They came in sizes ranging from the size of a horse to that of a large Roc. The largest couldn’t hunt the lower canyon but the others could.
This was a place that dragon’s didn’t venture. There wasn’t anything in the canyon worth the effort of disturbing the Scythe wings.
The female stood at the edge of the canyon knowing this would be a harrowing journey. She motion the group that came with her to stay here until she returned. Descending into the canyon she journeyed into the territory of the scythe wings.
Days passed and her team waited growing impatient. She should have been back. When she did return they were horrified by what they saw. She was missing an arm, and two legs and most of her tail. She was carrying a scythe wing’s body over her for camouflage as she hobbled to them. It was clear she was about to die. Cradled in her bag though was that flower. Handing it them.
”Return this to our clan and plant it. It will grow and its properties will heal our wounds. Just one petal is all that is needed.” Her daughter, who had been in the group looked at her and the flower. ”Why didn’t you eat one?” The female smiled as she dropped the Scythe Wing’s body. ”Because the flower dies once a petal is eaten. Our people won’t get the healing they need if I do that.” Her daughter took the flower. The group as a whole would give her a salute. This was a dragon to be honored. ”Now hurry, the flower needs to be planted in two days or otherwise it will be gone. A brief hesitation and they turned hurrying back to the clan.
The female finally let herself rest, exhausted. Allianda would move into view. A female dragon with white scales. The female looked up at her and nodded. ”Hello Mother. I see I really am going to die. The visions you gave me were correct. I found the flower. My people will have their healing.”
Allianda nodded and touched the dragon easing her pain.
”Thank you for giving me this chance. I knew it would mean my death but it was a noble one. One with honor. Watch over my daughter.” As the dragon grew weaker she laid her head down. They both looked up seeing the daughter return. Though the daughter couldn’t see Allianda.
”Mother, I won’t leave you. I will stay with you to the end. I will honor your sacrifice, but I will not leave you alone”
The mother smiled and would reach out a clawed hand holding her daughters. Long moments passed and the daughter silently prayed to The Great Mother. Asking for her help. She didn’t want to lose her mother. Almost as if the mother had heard the prayer’s she spoke weakly. ”My life is what fuels that flower’s life. If I live it dies.” The daughter remained silent and stayed with her mother treating her wounds and feeding her for another day. Once the flower was planted in the clan’s home the mother drew her last breath. The daughter mourned there grieving deeply for the lose of her mother. Soon the entire clan showed up and built a grave for her.
When her daughter returned to the clan she was amazed by what she saw. An entire field of flowers, all the color of her mother’s scales. A deep Ruby. Allianda stood with the spirit of the mother watching the clan as they mourned and moved on. Her daughter becoming an adept healer using the flowers as a basis for her medicines. When she finally came to grips with her mother’s sacrifice she would pray to Allianda. During one of those prayers Allianda would touch her teaching her how to heal magically. While magical healing could do wondrous things she also taught her the limits and how one must be careful. Only with the knowledge she now possessed did she realize, even with all of the healing she had, her mother would not have been saved. The daughter had many children who in turned sired many more.
Time passed.
Allianda would bless a couple to have visions that would help their people and soon stories grew of a hero that would come to their people. In the line of the Ruby One. Considering how many now carried that blood it was unsure who that would be.
~~~~~~
Allianda then turned to make the second race. Instead of dense bones of iredesium she blew into them making them hollow. She gave this race a more humanoid appearance. At least in body. They had clawed feet and hands also and they had a reptilian head that was narrow giving them an almost peak like muzzle. They had hollow bones to help them fly with the gravity of the moon. Their wings were large enough to hold them up but sustained flight was difficult. Males and females were hard to tell apart to outsiders but their keen sense of smell helped them identify each other. As she formed them, she formed their society. Their society was one of honor and loyalty. They were called Samuraian. They had skin the color of stone and they often made homes in cliffs to give them the advantage of swooping down on any below. They also developed how to fight with claws, talons, and beaks. In addition they watched the dragon’s and took with them the knowledge of medicines.
Allianda then formed an order for Mercenaries. One that would travel place to place, clan to clan, to fight for those who paid them.
Allianda would gather power and once again gained another domain. That of Community.
Feeling it was time she would consolidate her power and gain the next rank of dietyhood. With that the last shard of Allianda faded from the Material Plane

Allianda smiled brightly. "I love it actually." Her voice was bright and cheerful and he watched her look at everything as she carried a box made out of living wood. He could see it trying to grow even more in her hands. She set it down and grinned at him.
"I made this when finishing my moon. I also made a sun too." She said as she opened the box revealing what looked like glass chunks inside of it. "This is Iridesium. Try breaking it with a normal hammer."
Allianda, who had spent so much time and effort on magical concepts and birth's decide it was time to take on the Mantel of Magic. Wrapping magic around her until it infused her very being and she herself became a source.
The Allianda by the sun looked around at the sky noticing the glittering lights and smiled having even more thoughts and interests light upon her mind. Then her focus turned to her lonely green moon. It was unfinished and she would have to see about that. She had been hesitant to finish it at first. But now she saw a need. There were still more animals and monstrous things she needed to give birth too. But the races of the world would find the presence of such creatures endangering every aspect of their life. This would be a moon of truly monstrous creatures.
The Allianda by the sun moved over to the moon reaching into its core making it denser and gravity on it much heavier than that of Anya. The core of the world was a dense molten metal that shone a dark purple color. Around that she built up veins of mineral rich earth full of metals and other rich veins of gems and rare unseen treasures. This was all built within the dense earth. Verdant soil, far richer than that of Anya, covered the surface as she developed its atmosphere. Once that was set the first of the plants and animals were born. All dire animals, plants, dinosaurs, and even magical beasts were started here, more aggressive and dangerous than those seen before. Regular creatures would find themselves prey should they come here. Everything grew bigger here and stronger. Trees towered hundreds of feet into the air as they grew over thousands of years. Insects the sizes of dogs were common. For a small moon it had large life. All life fighting against the heavy gravity of the world and because of this, the muscles and structure of everything’s form was designed to handle it. Everything was much slower in growing on the moon. The land masses were all continually connected, the largest bodies of water not visible to the naked eye to those on Anya. Mostly rivers and small lakes existed on this moon, no major oceans or seas to cross. Because of this, water was a commodity that was highly valued and alternate methods of getting it would have to be developed.
This was wild primordial world full of danger and life. Here she would put her aggressive and dangerous creations that she gave birth too. More thoughts entered her head as she reached into the core of the world again, this time infusing it with powerful magic. A raw mixture of Divine and Nature based magic’s giving the metal a type of life on its own. Some of it pushed through the rock and soil as it started to churn becoming a multi-hued metal. A fissure, no bigger than the tip of a needle, started to form as it worked its way up towards the surface. Allianda smiled at her new creation and wondered what she would call it.
Iridesium, for its iridescent, clear sheen, was a living metal that was completely natural and grew on its own, fluid when it wanted to be and when properly worked could be forged into powerful things. The only thing was, once removed from its connection to the source of Iridesium, it would slowly harden into nuggets and ores that looked like iridescent glass. When re-forged, needing heat well in excess of what any other metal would take (even adamantine), it could be used for magical weapons and armor that glimmered in the light. Though transparent there was enough color and sheen you could notice the intricate work and colors flooding through it. Far from fragile, it rivaled adamantine for density and hardness.
This metal is an amalgamation of Iridium, Osmium, magic, and adamantine. First two being actual elements. Also while touching the source it is like syrup and mercury.
Once this was done she gathered up some of the glass metal and would head to find Glubokaya. As a master forger, she believed he would enjoy this metal. Heading underground with her treasures in tow she would knock on his door loving the changes she had seen on her way in. Excitement filled her as she wondered if it would inspire him to make things.
------------------------
As the Allianda at the Enclave, she sat there she started marking the passages of the bright lights, the rotations of the celestial bodies the image of a matron learning the passing of time and studying the effects of the bodies on the world. She listened as her Lieldasine discovered the tides that had come to be with the Gardening Moon’s sudden growth and darker color. It would a need a new more formal name now.
AP SPENT:
15/15
5 AP Gain Ability - Source of Magic
2 AP Create Magical Concept -- Iridesium (Divine/Nature)
2 AP Create Moon -- Finished the Moon and fill it with monstrous life
Allianda smile. "Your decree did say with your blessing. Hence, why were wanted to talk to you about it. I am not thinking that every soul would be reincarnated. Though, it does mean Abbadon will get full eventually if only new souls are born. Since souls are immortal they only get one chance at life currently. I was thinking about those souls most worthy of our attention. Hero's and Legend's. The ability for them to come back to life and be reincarnated should the need be there."
"I am not against death, for it gives room for more life. I just think rebirth should be available to the worthy. After all, technically rebirth has already happened. You have a son now Veldrin. With your decree he died and as I was walking across the graves of the Llieldasine mourning their loss when one, a strong soul, was effected by my life energies and gained a new life as a god. He takes after you." Allianda said softly.
"It is actually brought up the thought in my head." She shifted her weight smiling as he sat above them looking down on them.
"Immortal souls will grow weary of their time in Abbadon eventually. Some that are by the sides of their gods may also. If those souls prove truly worthy I would advocate their god could come to you and ask for them to be reborn. You could even ask payment for such a service since it is your decree. It makes the gods hesitate and chose wisely. For those in Abbadon, I am sure you would be best suited to judge. But eventually that would be many. Which brings up my second idea. The Fair Folk, created by Mekkar and oath takers of the world. I was going to suggest you adopt them and allow them to serve as your judges in the afterlife. Since you have your Reapers in the Shadovar. They could be your judges and help take the work load off of you."
Allianda smiled at her exuberance and waited for her to finish. "Also, there is more to it. Reincarnation was more my aim. A new life for the immortal souls. I understand resurrection would require your say with the cosmic decree. The souls would not remember their time in Abbadon nor by our sides while mortal." She paused to see his initial reaction. There was more to discuss but this was first.
Also, if you two don't mind I would like to pick up archery, natural weapon combat, and Sword training as advanced concepts for a race I am going to make soon. I will happily trade Advance concept for advanced concept and do collaborations. I just figured the first two really fit a nature goddess like myself and sword fighting is to pay homage to the character that inspired the race I am about to create.
When you make armor and such I would also like to discuss having it for this race. But that is for later times.
The Allianda floating above the world would look at her baby the sun. Sometimes babies didn't wait and this one had been eager to be born so she hadn't waited on her son to follow.
He was busy anyways working on his own projects. It was probably best to leave him be and let him finish. At least this way there was a sun to help him.
Floating back to the sun she would touch its spongy texture and strokes it instilling positive energy in it.
The seasons would be born from the waxing and waning of energy in the moon. Cycles creatures would feel subtly and it would influence Anya's plant and animal life. If the other's decided to make suns to help influence the seasons then it would make things even more dynamic but that was their choice. Nature would eventually find a balance.
Taking a deep breath she would float there just watching for a long while.
---------------------------------------
Baxtra 1
"Yeah, but have you taught them war yet? Or are they just aggressive? War...is not something as a mother I want. But, that being said it is unfortunately a good population control." Sighs softly as they watch the one that was injured be healed but some of the damage was permanently scaring.
She would watch her mope and recover and her mother's strain at the dueling guilt and anger at what had happened. Moving forward, invisible to them she would touch the one who was injured. As they recovered their eyes falling upon things and their thoughts going into wondering why things grew with careful cultivation. Months passed as she watched the sun and the moon's. Noting the subtle changes.
In the Matron she would insert the thoughts of none magical healing and developing that.
Eventually the child would recover and in her weakened state would start experimenting with how cultivation works and failing miserably to start, having no practical experience. Just as she was about to give up she developed a hard core and buckled down to keep trying.
At this point Allianda smiled and winked at Baxtra. "Children can learn though." She would become visable and approaches the girl as a Llieldasine plants growing where she slithered. Seeing her the girl went to pay homage and Allianda stopped her.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Grow things. I am to weak to gather things and I don't want my mother to always provide for me." She admits squirming under her stare.
"Show me what you have figured out." She would sit with the girl giving gentle advice and helps her plant her first crop as the season of gestation started. "Teach your people what you have learned. It will help your people."
She nods taking things to heart and would do so spreading farming and cultivation to her people. It took a couple of years for it to catch on but eventually it did.
The Matron on the other hand, had thrown herself into the process of learning none magical healing and first aid. It only took some mental guidance and she would eventually teach her people the concept of medicines and its uses expanding on their already robust healing magic.
Allianda again went invisible and moved to Baxtra. "The meeting of our races should be interesting. I also wasn't saying to stifle their curiosity. Just don't make it so easy to satisfy. If they work for it, it will be more rewarding for them."
------------
Veldrin and Baxtra
She would again knock wondering if Veldrin was even in.
Alright I broke a rule. I made post stating that I had invited Muthadh to come see the suns birth then proceeded to finish the post on the birth without stopping the post and getting his confirmation of decline of the offer. And posted that Once he followed the actions would happen.
I apologize for that Muthadh and I will try not to do that again in the future.
Unless you post to the contrary I will act as if you had not been there.
Cycle of seasons. Basically a cycle is like a year for us so the sun changes color every 10 years.
Rotation is a day
7 Days to a week
6 Weeks to a Moon Rotation, (new to new moon) aka a month
13 Months to a year.
Each season is 78 Days and there is a total of seven in a year.
I like the ideas so far. I don't want to just name things day month year.
I am hashing this out before I share the concept of a calender with everyone and give the final description on my sun and its influence in this. Mostly for my own amusement I will admit.
Oh and everyone gets to name at least one month! All your own to name. Just please something tasteful.
Okay so for now
1 Rotation=1 Day -- Starts from dawn and ends at the new Rotation's dawn.
1 Journey = 1 Season Year -- To mark the "celestial gods" Journey from Birth to Death. Aka the 7 seasons, homage to the first seven gods.
1 Sun Year = 10 Journeys -- Every Sun year the sun changes color.
1 Moon Cycle = 42 rotations of the World, as the moon goes through different phases from Old moon to Young Moon (Aka New moon to new moon)Ala 1 month, 13 of these is a Journey as it includes 7 seasons
"Take this advice from a mother. If you give your children everything they need and they do not grow on their own. They will grow weak and expect everything to be handed to them. Now this isn't true of all children but I have seen it happen a lot."[b] She motions her to follow her disguising themselves invisibly. She would walk through her own people and motions to a Llieldasine languishing while others worked the forest to gather food and build their shelter's for a coming storm. [b]"A child of a matron. Her mother had spoiled her so she has never really had to work a day in her life. She was always taken from place to place and didn't have to do much."
"Now, her muscles are weaker and she has never had to put much thought into things." They watch as others complete their tasks and move off happily to do other things giving the Llieldasine a bit of a wide berth.
"Because of her attitude of things should be handed to her, she is not well liked and for that it will eventually be her undoing. She had the potential to be a great leader but has squandered it for luxuries."
She would point out predators in the shadow. "Llieldasine are extremely vulnerable to predators because of their scent and wonderful taste. Also, since they forsake fire for it hurts them so much they do not often scare off predators."
The predator's soon come up stalking the llieldasine who seems not to notice. She is attacked, her arm bitten as she is attacked and barely dodges a second going for her neck. A few more harrowing movements and bites and it looks like it is almost over when the ground erupts and swallows the creatures whole as a second Llieldasine comes into view a twisted mask of rage on her beautiful face. The earth turns to acid eating at the predators as they try to claw their way out and the four armed matron picks up her daughter who was hanging on the edge of life.
Allianda swallows hard as every instinct in her had told her to step in. The matron would heal her daughter enough to get her to the healers where the specialists could take care of her.
"You must chose carefully about giving your children something that makes things so easy for them to travel. They won't learn the hardships of travel. Nor all the wonderful creatures they can tame and learn to control on their own. They already have the best. What is the point of taming anything else." She smiles. "I think your ideas are wonderful actually. I just want to caution you a little in giving your children to much." She smiles and kisses Baxtra's cheek.
Are the Dineros what you named the hounds I gave you? The animal? If you are giving them more intelligence to make them a sentient creature then you will pay the cost difference. And are the Silari in the Llieldasine area? I thought they were on your islands. By the way an Enclave is not a valley. Its usually a WELL guarded secret of the race. Though they can be encountered out in the jungles that cover a lot of the continent Dragon. Think of Dragon as a huge Overgrown area. Everything is bigger and larger than life in many respects. You didn't write any interactions or statements they had met my race yet so don't know how they can learn from them. Plus, whole language barrier thing.
"My children are more than I ever hoped for. They give me headaches and they give me love. A mother loves all her children equally even if she favors others." Looks at her and smiles. "I must be willing to sit back and let them be themselves sometimes."
"It would be interesting to see all the gods create a sun and pick a season to influence. I would think Veldrin's would be a cold sun but I could be wrong."
She motions to the hound standing beside Baxtra. The one she had created for her. "Do they not work? They are your's to do with what you want. You can make them intelligent if you want."
She thinks on the second. "Why only six days. Isn't that taking the joy out of discovery and travel if they race everywhere? My planet I would consider very large (Jupiter size). It shouldn't be marginalized as just land to cover in great speed. But if you continue with that I would say flight is your best bet. It would have to be something quite significant to fly such great distances in so little time and be able to carry such weights."
-------------------------------------
Baxtra and Veldrin
Allianda looks at the door of Veldrin's sanctum and knocks louder this time. Maybe he was sleeping, or thinking really hard.
"I am not saying those that have served us must leave our side or anything like that. You never know, some souls may want to go live again on their own prerogative. Anyways, if Veldrin doesn't claim them then I will adopt them into my own set of Oath Taker's. Will have to think on that one. There is no need to lay down laws for interactions. Doing so stiffles the races. As it is right now no race has met another. All are on their own islands and areas. I will be changing that soon. I will give birth to multiple races that will stretch from continent to continent. While your race is travelers and have the ability to glide. They have not traveled much yet but they are a young race."
BY the way you are free to write things on your races actions and the like here. That is a huge part of the story.
Allianda at the Llieldasine would look up at Baxtra's return and motions for her to sit beside her overlooking a gathering of Llieldasine as they discuss the fact the Enclave has gotten big and it was time to expand into new territory and start a New Enclave. There was still much time before they Populated Dragon, her continent but she was fine with that.
"You see only two paths but I see many. You can do both at the same time. Build your passions and gain power. You will find that as you build you will be building along a theme because that passion grabs you. If it leaves you that is okay and you work on something new. But you will find while building you have built a ..... reservoir of power to build upon should you come back to it or gather it together. I myself could pool my power again and a gain more domains but I am hashing out something so that can wait. But I have made sweeping changes to the world and wish to influence and add seasons to the world. I also am going to make the concept of a calender. To track the rotations of the world and the seasons. I am making exacting measurements watching my Llieldasine work and play. Since they are the most influenced by my light."
Looks at her and smiles. "I apologize I am rambling. I say build your concepts and see if they have a natural flow that guides you to gain power. But do not go too heavy on either path. Find a nice balance. As a builder and mother I soon will be giving birth to more races and I needed the extra power with which to do it. It is the reason I gathered the power I did. But I chose to build what I wanted, not what I needed to gather power. It just tended to fit into the domains Healing and Nature so I took on those mantels. Also, I didn't make the sun out of fire because I thought you would like to make one out of fire. Maybe give this place two suns. One that rotates around the other and ignights passions.... during the season Of Celebrations maybe. And During the Hardest season, maybe I Veldrin can make a black sun that cancels out the positive energy of mine and makes the world cold."
-----
Baxtra 2
As Baxtra 2 stopped at Veldrin's Sanctum to knock on the door she saw a Shard of Allianda there waiting to be given entrance too.
"Hello. Oh and to answer your questions about Rebirth, I do not wish to make it hurriedly. It is why I asked you to come with me and to discuss it with Veldrin. He knows best how he wants to handle the souls and I thought it best to discuss it with him while we hashed it out. I was thinking true rebirth, a new life and a new chapter for their soul. No weight from their past to hold them down, no memory. And they would have a new form and a new life. That does bring up an interesting thought. The Fair Folk will need to be adopted. I was thinking of seeing if Veldrin wanted to to help use them as judges for the souls.
Allianda smiled and moved from her spot next to the sun and moved to Anya. With a gentle touch she started to rotate the planet and as she did so she swept her hand over the landscape altering the plants and animals so they may adapt to the new environment that the sun now had created. Some of them became night time creatures, while other day, some twilight creatures.
The Allianda still with the Llieldasine, would watch them as they first experience sunlight and see their expressions of fear and then Joy when they felt it warm them. She let their bodies take in the energy and get stronger for it. She should thank her daughter Baxtra for such a thing and turned to see she had left so she could not. It warmed her heart as a mother to see this.
She turned back and watched them slowly adapt to this new thing. They wondered what it's name was and what to call it. Instead of telling them a name she let them hash out a name happy her creation had inspired such talks. After all creation in all its form and the inspiration of it was part of her portfolio.
They talked for months and names such as 'The Great White Orb', 'Sol', 'White Flower', 'Monstrosity', and even some very interesting combinations of vowels. None really satisfied her until she heard a young seedling of a Llieldasin called it 'Aroha'. It was the word they had given to the feeling of love. She listened as the young one explained.
"It should be called Aroha. Like our mother it is warm and not harsh. It also comes and goes, it watches over us but also leaves us to our own devices. Steady so far and we know in our hearts it will always be there. It gives comfort and reveals predators. But expects us to be able to defend ourselves when it goes away. It gives us strength that lasts through the night. I feel Aroha when I look at it. The aroha our mother gives us." The seedling stood proud as she gave this explanation and the elder Llieldasine all conferred and talked it over. It was a couple of days but the name the Llieldasine gave the sun was Aroha.
She would visit the seedling disguised as a Matron and would talk with her and tells her. "I will watch over you young seedling. You will grow to do great things. Follow your heart."
Thank you. I had headed off to sleep before asking about the seasons here and if they should have a cost. And I woke up due to being overheated I think. I was also going to make the concept of tracking time and making a calender. Thanks the new sun and making a cycle. Wanted to hash out seasons though.
ALSO BAXTRA, Did you see Allianda ask you the question about the concept of rebirth and talk to Veldrin with her? I wasn't sure because I had kinda posted quite a bit.
Still adjusting to new time schedule so kinda wonky at the moment.
Edit: This is for mods and Players, Should I be able to add seasons to Anya for no cost since I am creating the sun which will determine when the seasons happen?
"Muthadh, I noticed your clouds are loosing energy. I have decided to change things up a bit and create an energy source that can spread light across the multiverse. Plus, it was time that change come once again. Do you wish to come watch." Smiling he saw her stomach swell as she glowed with light. Careful not to touch the plant life here, in case her presence disturbs Muthadh's delicate balance she headed back to the surface and waited to see if he would follow. Once he followed she would rise into the nothing and move some distance away as she started to glow brighter and brighter her stomach swelling more and more as her pregnancy progressed.
"In honor of your beautiful luminescent spheres this two shall be a sphere and its colors will change with time. Since this is its birth we shall start with white light and have it gradually go through the spectrum of color every ten cycles of seasons." She rubbed her belly happy she was getting close and she gauged the distance.
"Unlike my other creations this one will not be habitable but will be seen and enjoyed. It will supply light and warmth. With its birth I am going to alter Anya and have her rotate so one side gets no more light than another." Seems to muse on something "What do you think of the concept of Seasons. I was thinking Seven. One that is Gestation, where plants and animals produce young within themselves and in the earth. Second, is Birth. The time when the natural world starts bursting with life. Third is Growth, the time when the young get strong enough to go out and learn from their parents or for young plants to start learning how to soak up the sun. Fourth would be Celebration, a time when life is in full swing and times are good, this is when breeding and seeding for the next year is done. Fifth would be Migration, preparing for the seventh season animals migrate to better places and plant start to bear their fruit and seeds. Sixth would be Harvest. A time for sentient creatures and animals, to harvest plants and animals and for seeds to drop to the earth and dig deep, all preparing for the coming seventh season. The Seventh Season, the season of Hibernation. It is the roughest season and tests all creatures to see if they had prepared. This gives the earth time to rest and recuperate while seeds and animals get ready for Gestation and Birth. Each of these season a bit of a homage to each of the original gods. Oh, I could name them after the gods but I think my simple names will do for now. After all, the simple things get remembered most usually. A season would last....lets see...78 full rotations of the planet. Full light, twilights, and darkness. I should probably speak with the other gods that helped me birth the world. I would be effecting our creation after all.
As she floated there she started to shimmer as her form was enveloped in dazzling white light. Then the light grew brighter and brighter until it slowly faded. Floating there, for all to see was a white sphere radiating a brilliant white light. If Muthadh reaches out to touch it he will find it spongy in texture and warm to the touch. It was brilliant and hard to look at up close but if he shaded his eyes he could see the prisms of color hidden inside in layers. Almost as if it could shed a layer and in doing so would have a new color
Looking at her son she would pull him off of his knee. He could tell she was more powerful than before.
"You do not need to kneel. Just will a little bit of your power to me and you will be tied into the pantheon. With the power created from other's joining there should be a seat of power that can be created from it where we chose to put it."
Allianda listened when Veldrin spoke across the multiverse and would nod to herself. The gears turning in her mind and soon she had an idea she would need to work with but it would require the Lord of Death's permission. The flow of power burst from him and all gods felt the birth of a new plane.
After all, with her touch, their son had been reborn. This was something Baxtra would take great interest in. "Baxtra my child, would you be interested in talking with Veldrin about creating the legendary concept of Rebirth with me? It will take his permission as we are taking the souls of the worthy dead and giving them new life."
Allianda concentrated and would split two shards from herself.
One went in search of her son. Searching the jungles of her continent she then went continent to continent smiling at each enjoying all the plants and animals and the delicate balance nature was able to maintain on its own. First she visited the Crystal Lands before heading to the land of rolling fields and hills. Not finding him she pushed on and saw a storm cloud on the horizon. No that wasn't right, it was a shadowy cloud that looked so different from what she was use to. Flying up she would suddenly feel the creation of another plane. Shuddering as she felt the power ripple through the universe at the creation. Moving toward the floating islands she noted the original life no able to be supported with the new environment of shadow and would make adjustments tweaking here of there. Eventually after that work was done she would stumble upon the cavern and find Muthadh concentrating in the center of the island's heart.
When he was done she spoke. "I am forming a pantheon for the mortals to follow and recognize. I would ask if you wish to join it."
Her second shard went to Veldrin's Sanctum politely knocking on the door. "Veldrin. I have started a pantheon and wished to know if you would like to join it."
Allianda would concentrate and draws power into herself growing more powerful her body bursting with energy as she gained significantly in power.
AP Spent:
2 AP - Gain Deity Rank
2 AP - Found Pantheon
Turning she would look at Glubokoya and Veldrin's Avatars. "I have decided to consolidate my power and make a Pantheon that the mortals can follow. Would you wish to join?"
"As a mother I would ask temperance but I won't restrict your creations unless I really see a need. Just think about this. With your decree you force all creatures to feel emotion and show it. They don't get a choice in being reserved or having...what is the term... a poker face. Or if a mother is angry at her child but doesn't wish to scare them and have a collected face they can not any more. I am of the type if you believe that it will cause issues, talk it over with the other gods and get their opinions. That might better help you shape what you are doing."
Shifts her weight and smiles.
"You have also forced the other gods with the way your decree is worded into doing the same. And forced creatures that do not understand to react to such things."
Gathering power into herself she takes on new domains.
AP Spent:
34/39
3 AP Gain Domain - Healing
3 AP Gain Domain - Nature
Allianda would move and guides everyone to a simple area away from the mortals. Even motioning over to the new god, the beggar prophet.
"Alright, all gods can travel. Fly, walk, swim, and climb anywhere they want. Also, you can teleport to any place you have been or seen. You cannot enter someone's sanctum, IF you find it and know where it is without first asking permission." She shows this by floating above the ground.
"Secondly, should you create something, then you will know when something effects it. This doesn't mean you can see and hear everything your people do. It just means if another god effects your creations you will know."
Brings her hands together and they watch an orange, insectoid creature resembling the nymph stage of a cicada. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has six pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pupils.
Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as tochukaso grow on this creature's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time, and grow from spores that are doused on this creature's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host creature's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the creature's actions. For example, the creature drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life.
"This is an example of how to create. You focus your will into making something whole. Now, you can create anything you want, but to make it permanent you must put a part of yourself into it." They all feel a slight surge as she gives the plant creature life. Suddenly hundreds of them show up around them and they flock around Muthadh Ealaidh. The one in her hands, bigger than the rest moves to him and crawls into his lap.
"These are simple plant creatures. They are not that intelligent but I gift them to you Muthadh. So you can study them and how to create. Also, to give you company." Smiles warmly.
Turns to Baxtra and power surges again as a a quadruped, canine Pokémon. It has orange fur with black stripes along its back and legs. The fur on its muzzle, chest, belly, and tail is cream-colored, as well as an additional tuft of fur on top of its head. It's coat is noticeably longer on its chest and tail. It has gray eyes, a black nose, and large, round ears. Its forepaws have two visible claws, while its hind paws have three toes each. Each paw has a brown pad. Purring it rubbed against Baxtra and swatted at a mushroom creature that came to close seeking Baxtra's attention.
"I make animals and plants for the gods that are unique homages to each. So even if they fade those creatures will live on." She shifts and looks at the beggar and would make a very unique creature. A quadruped, mammalian with a dark blue to gray body covered in white fur. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a sickle-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs.
"This creature can sense when natural disasters are to happen and will try to warn the races it is nearby instinctively, though unable to communicate." She sighed smiling. "You may name these creatures whatever you wish. Now, any other questions?"
"Follow me." She said leading those at the forge to her llieldasine enclave.
The group standing in an Enclave of the Llieldasine soon sees a second Allianda walk up and touch hands with the one already standing there and they merge into one.
"Now that we are all here. Baxtra, Muthadh, this is Glubokaya Gora, the Forge Father. I know there is another fledgeling here if he wishes to show himself." Smiles looking around. This is for you Beggar god. You can come up and introduce yourself
"I always appear to them as a mother and gently teach and guide those who wish to listen. Over time enough listen and pass on the lesson. There is always an adjustment period. Such as using fire to cook things. Took a while since Llieldasine do not like fire."
Allianda smiled as the other gods showed up at the graveyard.
"Alright, now you have questions and wish to see my people." She masked her presence so the mortal's perceived her as just one of there. The Llieldasine were tending the lands nurturing it. While you could see them they hid the area they lived and communed. The graveyard was out in the wilds far from their actual living area. They lived off the land taking only what they needed.
"I have more I need to teach them. But I must do it slowly and patiently. To much can flood them and some things can overwhelm them. They move and act on their own. They take the knowledge how they want and use it. Even if I am their creator there are other gods they can worship."
"Then you can meet me at the graveyard of the Llieldasine. Muthadh concentrate on the graveyard and think if walking and being there. Then start walking and you will find yourself there. I will let you try this on your own first." Allianda moves away a bit to allow him to try on his own.
Looking at Baxtra she smiled. Once everyone had gone there she would do the same.
Allianda smiled as the two talked and she just relaxed focusing her attention to her shard at Glubokoya's forge and her creations. Listening to Baxtra's request after she described her race she chuckled.
"Farming tends to be seasonal and sedentary. If your race is constantly traveling farming may not be for them. I have only taught the Shinoka's farming as of right now. They live underground. I haven't had time to teach it to my Llieldasine just yet. It might be better to do trading if your people are more nomadic." Smiles and looks at her.
"Medicines also take patience. Though, I have an idea for that. If your Silari can find rare herbs and items they can trade for medicines and such. Give me time to deliberate sharing such information.”
She would watch as Muthadh focused and pulled the shadows to him. ”You are learning. It will take some getting used to. I am still dealing with the fact life springs up around me even without trying. Now to navigate. Simply think of walking to a place. You don’t even really have to know exactly where you are going at first. Say, you want to go to the Dead Isle. Think of walking there and start walking. As a god, you have a type of “short road” that you can walk if you focus yourself into going somewhere.”
She would smile as they talked with each other. ”Someone is walking among the Llieldasine. I believe it is the new god that brought a strange new race to Anya and is possibly responsible for the new red moon. Unless it is yours my dear?” Allianda addressed Baxtra with that.
”I do not know, all that happens, but if it affects my children then I will know.” She straightens herself rubbing her stomach.
”Shall we go see who is walking among the Llieldasine?”

At Glubokoya’s Forge
”Well, it seems we have at least three different fledgeling’s added. Would you like to meet them? You can separate a shard of yourself and travel with me as I return to myself. This goes for you also Nunya and Veldrin. I think it is best we properly introduce ourselves to the ones stirring things up.”
She chuckled and flipped him back upright. "This I have decided to call is space. Well, because there is so much of it. But if you push your will you can affect your body as if you were standing on Anya."
Allianda smiled at Muthadh and nods. "Yes a god my child. You are newly born and it is normal to be disoriented. As for the why," Her shoulder s shrugged gently.
"The multiverse needed new life and so it promoted its growth in you and the other new gods." She gently stroked the creature and smiles.
"Oh, they may seem like they have a new grasp but like anyone with new power they like flexing it not realizing the new havoc they are causing. It will always be like that. Life is never static. As for Sanctuary, you can create yourself a sanctum. A place of power that is your domain and your power is strongest there."
When Baxtra returned she smiled and reached out stroking her cheek. "Dear one, you are passionate and quick to do things. It is your nature, but temperance will aid you in your en devour. You, created a cosmic decree without even looking to see what you are forcing onto people is actually there. There is more stirring on this planet, my Anya tells me everything. Including the birth of your new islands."
Shifting she stretched and taking their hands they felt themselves shift and they were floating above Anya looking at the world as it was, with the new moon orbiting it. "Interesting, a new moon. I will have to explore it and see what can grow there."
"Tell me of this race that now rests on Anya. I would like to know what they are and their purpose is. To create legendary life is a great thing." She lets them float in space and would look around. "Now, my children what are your questions."
She looked at Baxtra. "As to answer about being to open, it is both a strength and a weakness. A strength, because it gains others trust, a weakness because that openness can be used against you."
"There is a second new god born, this one from the multiverse itself. You are not alone as a younger god." Smiles and would feel the influence on her creations and sighs. Well, it seems she would be busy for a time as the concepts shared flooded her mind and she studied each.
With a smile she knew some strong healing magics could help with the madness but not all of it.
Seeing the second moon rise she would study it and nods to herself. She would have to visit but she wasn't going to leave her child here.
