The Flutterling race are now scouring their new home. As they made an expansion in preparation for their First clutch of eggs, the drones come across a cavern full of shimmering crystals. In the center of this cave was a single large glowing pink crystal. As they approached this crystal a voice rang out to them, "My children. I give to you, your guide, mother and my daughter, Queen Crystal." With her words the crystal holding Queen Crystal shatters. Standing now before the young flutterling drones is their Queen. She is majestic and beautiful. She shined with an aura of motherly love and wisdom. her first words to her new hive are, "Go now my young find those worthy of my mother's gifts and bring them with their consent to me to learn. Let us spread our mother's love to all who will receive it." Her commands given and with nothing else to do, the young drones and fledgling Flutterlings set out into the new growing world to find those worthy of their mother's gift.

Celes began channeling his power, weaving it into shining silver wooden walls, golden vine patterns, and brilliant emerald-like leaves. Before long, he completed what was, in his eyes, a simple treehouse. Then he heard someone call for him, calling him by the title Muer'matt called him. Life-Giver. Simple but accurate, though it only covered the first objective of what he considered his mission. He descended the ivory steps to greet his visitor. "Yes, good sir. I am the Life-Giver, Celes Iridan. It would be my honour to grant this one life, but I make one request in return. It is the same one that I made of Lady Venusia. Teach him the wisdom our Father granted us at our own creation." At first, Celes appeared to leave without doing as he said, until returning with a single leaf from his house. He then placed his hand upon the statue, exhaling softly as the glow illuminated the gap between his hand and the statue. When the glow faded, Celes removed his hand and said, "Wake." He turned to this other god and gave him the leaf. "This one leaf contains a tiny amount of my power, but it is enough that his race may prosper. Tell him to eat it, and the power to govern his race will belong to him." Nether merely nodded at Celes's request. The Diamond Dog was already closely observing its surroundings and curiously staring at the simply yet beautiful looking treehouse, a small smile formed on Nether's face " Your name sha'll be... Salazar " he paused for a moment before levitating the emerald-like leaf to Salazar "Eat the leaf" The Diamond Dog looked at the leaf for a moment before eating it.

With this newest race brought to life and more of this race coming, Celes returned to what he was doing prior and expanding his influence in the forest with a single-minded fervor. He raised a hand and light shone from his palm, weaving into the forest and changing it. The wood became silver and ivory in colour, and golden vines crept about the trees. He created a city in the trees, where buildings were almost indistinguishable from the trees themselves. All of this seemed simple in Celes' eyes, but most might find this to be unnecessarily grand. In the centre of the city, he grew a single silver tree with leaves of shining gold. And from it, he took two branches, one as large as he was and one small enough to fit into his hand. With this, he shaped the larger one into a humanoid body as others had done. The smaller of the two was shaped into a dagger of sorts, honed to a sharp edge and infused with magic to remain sharp. He once again performed his ritual to bring this one to life. His own race.
"Wake."
The silver faded away, leaving a fair-skinned woman with golden hair. She wore a silvery-white kimono and had eyes of emerald green. She stared in confusion at the world around her. Once she saw Celes, however, she smiled and embraced him. "It is good to see you, Father."
Celes was surprised at Tessara's response. Like he considered the All-Father to be his own father, she seemed to consider Celes to be her father. Perhaps when he created her, he had drawn on some aspects of himself. Was this what the others had thought when creating their own races for him to breathe life into? Perhaps, though he couldn't even begin to figure out where this...wait. Of course! Venusia's love! It made sense that she'd act this way if he'd made her in his image, especially given that Venusia created love once her egg was brought to life. He returned the embrace before holding his 'daughter' a short distance away from him. "Yes, well... ahem. I have something for you. A means of protecting yourself should the need arise. 'Tis only a small token, my daughter, but it should keep you safe nonetheless." He held out the silverwood tanto to Tessara.
She accepted the tanto and bowed. "Thank you, Father. I will do my best to bring honour to you." She said, smiling at him once again. Though, she did have quite a few questions for Celes. A fact he was aware of as he gestured to his house in the trees.
"Let's go inside and talk about what's been happening. There have been a great many events that you must know in order to record history." He said as Tessara followed him up the ivory steps.

Somewhere deep in the mines of Goblinhome, Grelmark watched over his three sons. He had yet to name them. They scabbered around, ripping rock free from the walls like vultures picking apart a great carcass. Invisible, Muer'matt watched over them through a crack, as he always did. Then, a voice, like tinkling bells, let out a laugh, and a rock came free, smashing one of the goblins. Grelmark growled, and bounded over, lifting the rock off of his son. He was unhurt, except for his pride, which goblins valued greatly.
Moments later, a glowing man appeared in Celes' home. He was wearing strange leather clothes that glowed a myriad of colors that clashed with his own glow. "Hey there, big guy." He let out a little laugh. "Sorry, I'm laughing at something I did earlier. Can I ask a favor? You seem to be the go-to guy for those around here."

When the glowing man entered and approached Celes for a favour, he held up a hand to pause the lesson. Tessara had been sitting next to him, listening intently to what he had to say. Until they were interrupted, that is. "That will do for now, Tessara. Go make some tea and think on what I've taught you so far while I speak with our guest." He embraced his daughter as they stood up.
Tessara bowed to both Celes and their guest before making her way to the kitchen where Celes kept the tea. Celes himself turned to the guest, finding him somewhat familiar. "Must be very amusing. Yes, a few have sought my help, and I would wager that you have come for the same thing. You wish me to breathe life into something you created, do you not?" He asked, a slight and subtle smirk forming on his face. Even this small show of emotion was a change from his previously stoic self.

"Yeeeeaaaaah. That sounds about right." The glowing man snapped his fingers, and his body seemed to split down the middle, one side becoming a golden woman. S/he held out its hands, and two glowing lights appeared, one red, one green. "I call 'em fey. The red one's bad luck, the green one's good. Right now, though, they're just dancin' lights." said the man's voice, like a cross between small bells and a funeral chime. "Could you find it in your heart to grant them sentience?" said the woman's, like the sound of wedding bells.

Celes looked from the glowing...person to the lights in their hands. "It will be done. Your children will be welcome in the forest." He said, holding out both of his hands to perform his ritual. The glow was less noticeable against the light from the fey, but it was there. He exhaled softly, and the breath mingled with the light, giving it that most precious of gifts.
"Wake."
That word rang once more, the final part of Celes' ritual of life. With the request fulfilled, he gestured to the table. "Please, sit. Would you care for some tea? It is a recent creation of mine and I would like to know your opinion on it."

His/her face brightened, and it transformed fully into the woman. "Yes, of course! That sounds lovely. Be off with you, my little friends. I'm sure you know what to do." The lights tinkled, and flew out the door, spinning around each other. Lady Luck sat down at the table, smiling beautifully. "So, you said you made this? I should probably start doing things like that myself. So far, I've not had much to contribute."

Meanwhile, the Man in the Mountain paced back and forth, impatient, and displeased. "Are they really the only ones to come here? I can't believe this!" He sighed, and then picked up his hammer, sliding over to a block of stone. "I suppose I'll have to make an emissary..." Slowly, he began to chip away at the stone. "He will have to be strong, and calm. Else no one will listen to him. Then, where will I be?" He continued, slowly, and steadily...

Celes nodded. "I created it, but Tessara brewed the tea. She should be back any moment, if my vision is accurate. Regardless, I have been quite busy and there is still much to do. Others require me to breathe life into their own creations, and I must pass on the knowledge the All-father left me to Tessara. Quite a bit to do." He said, answering the question but not quite stopping.
Tessara returned with a pot of tea and a cup for Lady Luck, to which Celes half-grinned, almost as if saying "Told you". She set the cup in front of the glowing woman and poured the tea before taking her own seat with Celes following suit. After a moment, she cleared her throat and politely asked, "Are you one of Father's friends, madame?"

The woman chuckled. "I suppose so. We can consider each other friends, right, Celes?" She took a sip of the tea, and hummed a little tune. "Oh. I should teach them that. Wouldn't that be nice?" she said, giving the elves a small smile.

Crystal's Main Hive: Crystal moves about the hive tending the now newborn eggs. She helps with placement of the newborn Flutterlings and sets up her Throne room. It is in this throne room where all will be taught to use aura magic. Out In The World: ( Windbreaker's and laserbolt's Characters. Will respond to each reaction individually.) The Flutterling scouts are out and about looking for those with the potential to learn of this magic type. They are also scouting out potential allies and what would be possible enemies. They come across Celes and his home. The Flutterling waits for Celes to finish with his other guest before approaching. ( laserbolt's Goblin Characters and all other characters. Will respond to each reaction individually.) Another lands near the goblin caves. He is one of the more defensive types. He approaches the opening with a chance of warm greeting. An aura of non-aggression emanating from him. Three more find the other hives. They check the hives and head back to report their findings. A representative from each hive is with the scouts. Scouts from the main hive land before all other characters and groups of beings, bringing with them greetings and an offer to learn of Aura Magic. |

As the gods and goddesses create and fill the world with beings in their images, another goddess in isolation from the others assembles the foundations of morality and judgement amongst mortals. She does this through a "miasma" spell which briefly embraces each and every mortal in a dim night blue shroud that, for most, will leave them with thoughts of self evaluation and of pondering their future actions in a moment of silence.
Once the shroud fades, each mortal may resume their previous activity or further ponder their new sense or morality, whichever they may choose. It matters not as the goddess who just blessed or cursed mortals with morality will be watching over each of them, judging every action they take.
---------------------------
In an excluded location at the coldest location in the recently created world, Aoella begins creating a tome of which will include the names of every sinner in the gods' realm, mortal or not...

Friend. An interesting word, and one that Celes hadn't before considered. It cut through his stoicism and gave him pause for thought. After a moment of thinking, he smiled. "Yes, of course. I would be honoured to call you a friend. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to remember your name. A shameful and regrettable happening on my part." He said, the smile fading as he grew disappointed in himself for not remembering his guest's name.
"Father, perhaps formal introductions would help solve this problem. A lesson in courtesy and proper manners to teach my people in time?" Tessara said, placing her hand on Celes' shoulder as he mulled over the idea.
"Of course. How rude of me. My apologies, madame. I'm afraid that today has been quite busy, even for one such as myself." Celes said, mentally berating himself for his uncharacteristic lack of manners, even though this may well have been the first time he took time from his mission to socialize with another deity for no reason besides simply talking. "It may well go without saying at this point, but this is my daughter, Tessara. The first of the Elves." He gestured to Tessara beside him, who stood up and bowed respectfully before returning to her seat. Celes made a mental note of her actions to put forward into a proper code of conduct.
