Aya traveled the world visiting the various places exploring them and visiting with her children. When she once again came upon the shore she noticed the new creatures. Making herself unseen she would walk among them noticing all males.
'Well this just won't do. No way to breed and don't even have compassion or empathy. Serrass, temper your anger. Since I know you won't listen to me I will just give your males someone to help them. ' She muses to herself before collecting the wind in her claws.
The Korvads collect gems, beautiful ones from the moon, while others collect the purest of waters from the rain clouds. The rain that shows up at the end of a storm and makes rainbows. Then she reaches out and plucks just the last flame spout from smoldering magma just before it hardens.
'Eyes called gems, and skin as soft as a winds caress. A calm and compassionate heart to sooth after a storm, but passionate and wild like fire.'
She loved them and they were beautiful in many different ways. No one just alike. She looked at each male and made a female to match and counter him.
She breathed life into them and settled them near the men and taught them how to work together and be a society.
Aya also taught them what compassion and gentleness was. She also armed them with enchantment magics. These could not be used in combat but they could be used for other things.
She gently taught them how to cultivate fields and grow crops.
Also she gave them the knowledge of the four gods and how to pay homage to the one that best suited them.
Including in this she taught them all the gifts of music and mating rituals and even how to teach also.

I was looking at that and was going to make females if you didn't mind. To give them their other half and as being the only female of the pantheon. Also was going to make the concept of love, compassion, and enchantment.
Aya's body curls up her wings surrounding her as her body slowly starts to crystalize and her ever changing winds still disappearing for a long while. Time passes as she contemplates things within the chrysalis she had formed.
Feeling the havoc wrecked on her creations she decided she should do something about it. While order and pattern was all fine and good it did not suit her at all.
With a banshee howl her chrysalis broke as she came out stronger than she was before having gained in power.
Her form now had four wings and she was even larger than before. Her scales a pale opalescence.
"I will allow you this. For everyone else I will let you hold sway. But My children and my creations will not be bound by your edict. They will forever remain free to change as they will. And add to the song how they see fit."
With a beat of her wings and a mighty roar that carried on the wind, the dragons and the small Korvads heralded her return with song and roars that echoed as her power washed over them protecting them from the divine decree. Even her flying continents were freed.
Taking her small one leaving the gem for the Sapphire architect she bowed slightly and would leave. She spread the Korvads to each of the dragon races. Giving them each their own tribes to serve them and help them gather the treasures untold from her moon.
Once again she flew freely in the air her body and wings casting a mere fleeting shadow as she patrolled the world.
Her voice raised in song as she enjoyed the freedom of the air.

I love it. Crys as for the dragons it was perfect.
To counter a decree for your things only it cost 3ap per thing that doesn't fall into the decree. You can completely negate his decree by spending your own
Her lips curled back showing sharp teeth as she smiled at the Sapphire Architect. "Ahh, it may seem small but every song has subtle notes. Not always the large booming notes like out children can sing. But the soft simple ones that the wind or the slow grinding of your earth creates. Think of it like a hidden melody. These items will create note changes without damaging the song in its entirety. Allows them to play and flex before they use your runes to make more permanent changes. So they can test what notes they wish to add."
She flexed her wings and stretched in his cavern. "And children do like to play. This satisfies it while still giving them something to hand to those that serve them as rewards. So they may share their power without giving their true power over."
She watched as the little dragon moved around studying things and she manifested a multihued gemstone and handed it to the little creature.
It studied the gem with fascinated eyes and as she created tools for it. Finally noticing the tools it would look up at the Sapphire Architect and then to Aya before it got to work polishing and cutting the stone. Soon a beautiful, but strong representation of the world was created and held up. Though the gem was multihued it now had a distinct sapphire sheen.
Aya felt a disturbance in the wind. Small at first so she paid it no mind. Then it grew until her attention was drawn downward, towards the grinding earth her own thought interupted as mountains were formed. She flew around them studying them for a time and would land on one her claws carefully touching it as not to actually harm the creation.
Pondering many things she decided it was time to pool her power and gather it to herself. She went in search of the Sapphire Architect.
"Your creations are beautiful and I had thought to create the same magic. But, your magic has a solidity to it that is befitting runes." She flutters a wing in thought. "Are our children doing well?" she asks clearly deep in thought as she moved very little. The glowing symbols on her flesh pulsed with energy. They resembled his runes in a more flowing script, but would change from time to time.
He felt her gathering power as she pulled it to her to acquire new domains. The domain of Air and the domain of travel.
"I am thinking of a way to create something similar but more temporary. At least in comparison to the earth itself. Something I could teach our children to make." She materializes some sort of blank fine material. She would write on it and he would see the makings of a simple symbol. Only after she said a word a small magical jeweled bunny jumped out of the page and leaped around for a short while before disappearing. "There is more than just scrolls. It is other Various things but I wanted to make the concept of all of their creations. I wanted to see if you wanted to make your own contribution."
Basically she is making Legendary Concept: Magic Item Creation. She is asking if he wants to claim one of the specific types, like potions, scrolls, wands, weapons, armor ect. Those would cost as a magical concept.
"I am also thinking of creating a race that mines for precious jewels and such to give our children but have determined I do not want to ruin your creation. Also, they will understand how to dive into the waters to find pearls and coral. I will make a moon they can mine for minerals and metals on and bring them back to the world. Also where they can hunt for precious things in the waters of their home." With that she started making a small race. At first they resembled miniature dragons, but then she put them on two legs and gave them a straighter spine. They had claws that could dig but also had delicate enough digits they could form tools. They still had a long neck and she adjusted their eyes for underground living. Giving them the ability to see in the dark and also sense heat. Though they were weak they were highly intelligent. She gave them a form of communal telepathy that would allow them to communicate far and wide, but only with each other.
Then she turned her attention to the sky and wove a beautiful moon, its sky a prismatic sheen constantly shifting as you watched. It had rivers and valleys and mountains. Small seas and full of small life perfect for her little creations. She took them there and would start the basics of teaching them all she had taught the dragons before she would teach them how to teleport.

And Aya was more mad you were insulting her and your own children. Think of it like another parent saying your child is incapable of learning but my weak child is so much better.
You were saying things that she believes are false. You insulted her when you said they couldn't learn when she had taught them so many things(Like any good mother who teaches her young), which you basically said was pointless Lots of points went to those things so she got angry.
Aya shakes her head slightly at Serrass. "You are foolish to think just because they are strong, they will not know fear. They will not know growth. I don't care if you make these creatures called humans but I am done with the insults you give upon your own children and my own." Her cloud started to darken and turned into a storm as she leaps off of it and took to the skies.
"I will see when you make them but right now there is no need for my approval."
She would wonder off on the winds watching her children and thinks on something. There was a Sun, standard generic thing it was but none the less pretty. There was the earth its own masterpiece even with all the other gods dabbling. There were the stars the beautiful jewels that they were. The oceans from above indeed look magnificent even if their Lord was who he was.
Her ire was reflected in the weather. She had worked hard on making the race and modeling them after herself and the elements of the gods. Only then to turn around and have her children insulted.
Aya had not finished her plane, or even started on it but she needed to be in the right mood to create it. This was not the time. Continuing to fly she would stare at everything analyzing it looking to what she wanted to teach and or do.
"I never said I was for them. I just was talking. I didn't once say I was in for it. You insulted my children after all. I must take that into account."
She floats on her cloud.
"After all, what is the benefit of having such creatures now. Why not let our dragon's enjoy ruling the world for a while? They have just been born after all."
"There will always be disruptions in the song it seems. We like to create and play on your beautiful creation. But it is possible this race could add to the song in a melodic way. As it is I believe Serass is wrong on all but one account for the dragons. They can invent, they can explore and the air ones do often. They are Flawless I will agree with." She huffed her wings flexing as she folded them against her side.
"We would have to teach them, just like I have with dragons. Teach them how to contribute to the song. Though, I am doing the one mostly teaching at the moment."
"They are intelligent. Far more intelligent to most. But that doesn't mean they can't learn. Why do you ask such a thing?" Aya asked as she landed back on her cloud and floated over Serass to listen to what he wanted to do.
"So Serass, Ruler of Water, what is it that you wish to do?"
"Who says there are any virtues." She joked and would grab the little flapping dragon and draws on it lightly also and plucks one scale off of it. Once that was done she would sit them together before inhaling and then breaths on them gifting them with long lives. She encased each of them in an egg and then multiplied them before speaking with them. Passing on her knowledge to them.
Even adding another thing to the mix. Mating rituals. Each dragon to entice a mate had to do certain things. Air dragons would show off their mastery of aerial acrobatics and strength along with sculpting a good cloud nest.
You guys can change these for your dragons but I figured add these in and see what you thought
For Earth Dragons, it would be the ability to carve through the earth and do it right. To make great works of art and still be able to defend the nest.
For Fire Dragons, mastery over flame and prowess in combat. Able to hold the best nesting grounds.
For Water Dragons, The mastery of the water and ability to control their portion of the oceans. Water and aerial acrobatics added in to show off.
She sang to them as they rested in the eggs, that time used to absorb the knowledge she was passing to them.
AP SPENT:

Once the knowledge was passed on she would take the eggs. Starting with the Water Dragons, She placed them in the ocean where they would soon hatch. She then slid into the earth slowly placing the earth dragons in the various caverns and caves being careful in her selection of which ones. Next Aya placed the Fire Dragons along the volcanoes and such before spreading out her own Air Dragons. Once they all were placed she would let out a roar that they could all hear and they all hatched at the same time, full aware of their surroundings and with all the knowledge that had already learned while in the egg.
Aya would look down at Serass lazily. "I am still waiting on Magnus for our dragon's. I wanted them to be first born into the world but alas that is not to be. There are other things skittering and running below I think." She flicks a tail and puffs softly to turn her cloud and make it float a different direction.
"But The Sapphire Architect gave me shiny stones to play with in the sky while I wait." Looking up at the glittering jewels she smiles.
"I think I will make the concept of Navigation and Astrology using the jewels as guides...hmmm what shall I call them. Sky Jewels. Yep I shall call them Sky Jewels. My pretty shinies."

Aya got her reply and smiles. "Pleasure to know your name Cryrsanidun." Her voice was sing song and distracted as she floated on one of her dragon clouds humming and singing.
Her wings stretched catching the sun as she rolled off of the cloud and dropped before spreading her wings again to catch the wind. Picking up the little figures of dragons in her claws she would wait on the lord of flame to finish his own work as she got on about making the weather on the planet. She took Serass' storms and would build them into the weather. Her wind carrying and effecting where water and heat moved. What was cooled by ocean breezes or warmed by the volcano's heat over great distances.
The weather didn't follow a pattern or a flow of any particular type, but it was there and it was always constantly shifting.
Feeling lazy again she would turn her attention to the crystaline world and would land looking around. She was on the opposite side of the planet and saw the darkness stretching on.
"Hmmm this needs some beauty. Cryrsanidun, may I have some of your most beautiful jewels. I want to decorate the dark sky with them. Something constant that glitters in the night sky and can be admired as much as the world you have created."
If you suggest your hot springs Idea Magnus in character I think it would work to continuing on things. You hadn't responded in Character and I think that is what he is waiting on. Remember no god knows what you spent AP on unless it directly effects their creations. So explanations IN character help.
Aya listened to Serass intrigued by the idea. "Oh, storms to play with and be as violent or gentle as I wish. That sounds wonderful. I was thinking of creating a concept called Wesser(Weather). Where across this great earth there is rain, and color ribbons, also drought and times of great cold. Though I was going to ask our Jeweled Lord of the Earth if that was okay with him. I will happily take the storms though. And maybe even make magical weather if magic is created." Chuckles happily floating on a cloud. Grinning she gathers them up and makes a nice bed.
"Clouds should be dense enough to walk on and lay on for Air dragons." Hanging her head over the side she sings down to Cryrsanidum.
"Oh Lord of the World Called Jewel, I do not wish to be mean or cruel. So for you consideration thus, will you let weather effect the world created by us?"

3 AP Forge Land-- Dragon Clouds - This "land" doesn't touch the earth but instead resides within the sky. It is made entirely of clouds the move through the streams of air and dissipate and reform randomly. A cloud will not dissipate if someone is on it but if that someone leaves it just might. Even if an inanimate object is on it the cloud will stay formed holding the object aloft until it is removed. The land is textured and soft feeling pleasant to walk on. Plants do not grow here as there is no earth but pools of water and ice do form sometimes in its divots providing water.
Aya is trying to help though it isn't much. Your tantrums can be the first earthquakes if you wish even. You can even request of the wind that all earth washed away be picked up and brought back, ala sandstorms are created, also mud, and muddy waters. You are allowed to strike back in a way. You can even make the first swamps trying to keep the ocean and rivers from eating away at some of your coastline areas buy using plant life to slow it down. Remember when creating land you get a FREE create mundane life to go with it. As the mod I allow you to use this the populate the world with plant life and simple animals(ex. gerbils) as you see fit.
Right now we are basically setting up natural cycles of the world. It is my world to a bit remember.
Aya would accept Serass's gift, taking the water in her hands to form it into a dragon. Longer than others, with fins along its tail and back. Giant wings designed for flight and a thick tail for swimming. Their webbed claws also helping as their wings gave them excellent underwater maneuverability. Her clawed hands tracing delicate lines along its surface slowly infusing it with just enough power to hold it together as she gathered the others. She would breath the breath of Life into each of them together. Plucking one scale off of it and putting it aside for a greater creation.
Seeing how upset the god of the earth and dirt got at the god of water's changes she holds back and amused chuckle as his frustration is channeled into a work of art. As the wind bore it to her she marveled at the beautiful creation and her winds blew across the earth bring a glorious song and disturbing the still waters making them froth and toss. She plucked one scale and set it aside for a greater creation.
"Thank you. She is beautiful." Again she traced her energy over it to preserve it. As Magnus altered the earth again making volcano's she felt the air warm and she puffed out a breath across the world using the heat to gather the water up in the wind and made the first clouds to carry the water across the world on the currents of air she had created. It wasn't much but it did take some of the water off the earth and time passed.
While she waited for Magnus to add to their creations she spent time grabbing the clouds and sculpting a dragon modeled after her. Pale scales at first until she saw the first rainfall. The glittering light of the sun went through the watery mists creating colors that delighted her eye and the scales changed to reflect this. Her dragons of air having shimmering scales of color. Long elegant necks and a pair of delicate horns. Wide nearly translucent colorful wings to catch even the lightest of breezes to soar above the clouds. Plucking a single rain drop she hardened it like the crystal of earth and gave it an inner glow like fire and pressed it into their foreheads. She smiled happy with this and stared at the creations after plucking a scale off and put it aside.
Thinking on it as she hummed and sang, she would need to give them gifts. Taking her time she created a couple of concepts. The first, a written language. One where they could communicate even if not face to face. Second, a spoken language. Something where they could communicate with more than pantomiming and roars. The third gift she decided to give them was the concept of Wind instruments. The fourth Music.
Happy with this she waited for Magnus's essence.

That would be fun. Heh, just getting settled in my new area so posting will be hit or miss with me. You guys can continue if you want. Remember you guys get your own plane to design based on your element.
Well your elemental dragon will be your own to design. He designed the water based ones. Your dragons could have the ability to burrow, fancies gems and metals to eat and breaths out an acid that eats through rocks.
Aya would look at the planetoid and would take a deep breath the swirling mists she had been stirring up into her mouth. Turning her head towards the planatoid she breaths on the planet kicking up wind. Instead of blowing past it swirls around it until a solid atmosphere is created with winds and air blowing over the planet.
Turning to each. "I wish to create a race in my own image but I wish to give them the gifts of the elements. May I take a bit of your essence each to create a race called Elemental Dragons. Their will never be many but they will be masters of their elements. Blessed by you three and birthed by me."
This means everyone donates 1 AP and Ill spend 2 and everyone gets a say over dragons. Also below is the format AP spending should be in.
AP Spent:
1 AP to Finish the creation of the planet since it only takes 5 points
2 AP to Starting the race of dragons
1 AP to Join Pantheon
I am good with sharing their creation. Modeling them after my form and you give them the gift of breathing fire. Ill even fork over 3 of the 5 points needed for them.
Also, I will donate to the creation of the world. Who else will?
Aya looked between everyone and her wings glowed brightly as as she flapped her wings stirring up the energy around them.
"Then who will build it? I can give it wind and sky. Our Crystal friend here can build its soil and earth, you its oceans and rivers. Magnus, the heat and fire that it will have. If we all donate to it we can create it and it can be born." She starts singing pulling energy to her, tempting it to surround her.
Movement heralded this creatures rise out of the primordial moving energy as great wings began to make themselves known. Flying up and out with a howling roar of triumph. Glittering scales of all different hues adorned the dragon's body. Swirling symbols covered its flesh glowing with the new power it's body held. Circling above it notices the pillar of flame and comes down hovering close to it.
"I do not know." The voice while loud was also soft, and the wind coming from its flapping wings fed the flames as its voice twisted through them.
