You open your eyes to see the flickering light given off from dozens of half melted candles. Your gaze jumps around as you quickly take everything in. You can feel a small breeze from an open doorway, the buzzing of a computer, and... the thumping of a heart and deepened breathing. Your not alone. A quick scan leads your eyes to a older gentlemen, hunched over a thick, near-rotting book. He soon realizes that he's being watched and leaves the book to come kneel in front of you.

"My lord..." He seems lost for words at first but quickly comes to his senses. "We've long awaited this day. We have worked long and hard to bring you to this world. But please, my lord, take your time. Your people await but you may wish to find yourself a... more suitable form."

Inspecting yourself you find yourself in agreement. Your current form is grossly inadequate for a being such as yourself. But what form will you take now?

Given the elder gentleman is our only reference point, I vote we become a perfected version of him, human in appearance so as not to startle our followers.

Witty Reference has the right idea. I'm going to go with the surprisingly healthy wise old man with ageless eyes. looking for pic now.

or a child with ageless eyes.

[WittyReference]

I'd be content with a child. A beacon of Youth and Vigor, we could win over the aging rich folks in other lands with our un-aging visage!

The first time we did this, we slowly restored the youth of the guy who summoned us. Let's do that again. It would likely take some time to do that though.

I like the idea of a child, perhaps female. Very white skin, almost glowing. I think looking almost frail, as it would make our followers want to care for us and tend to our needs, rather than forcing obedience.

"Hmm an interesting choice... That will definitely endear you to the adults of your following and any potential converts.", leading through a doorway and into a larger study. Bookshelves overflowing with everything from tomes on history to glassware and bottles to even the occasional skull.

Going through another doorway you find yourself in a large banquet hall. "These my lord are your followers. They know not of your form but are willing to accept anything. Please, they are eager to hear your first words., the older gentleman nods towards a raised area near the doorway.

What shall your first words to you followers be?

[WittyReference]

"Seo a saol fada agus a Merry amháin.
A bhás tapaidh agus ar amháin éasca.
Tá cailín deas agus ceann macánta.
A pionta fuar - agus ceann eile!"

(Irish for: Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint-- and another one!)

1. I vote for us to choose a name before our people. The name I've come up with is Áinle Diaga, means Divine Hero/ Champion/ Warrior in Irish so it's short and to the point. I'm happy to take Ashling Aednat as a name.

2. I also vote that we make a pact with our new people signed with our blood. The pact is simple they will serve us body and soul for all time and we will protect them for all time I imagne the exchange of blood may have other effects.

3.I also vote to call our people Nua Camhaoir, for new dawn.

4. Provided that the above is agreed to I would like to use the speech below:

"The World turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth is itself lost in time. I my people am a memory, a memory come back to lead the Children of Earth into a new era of Balance and Prosperity. While a end may come for us, today is and forever will be a beginning. So let us begin, let us feast, let us laugh, let us sing, let us dance, so that tomorrow we do not strive, fight, and die in vain. Let the Legend come! For I am Áinle Diaga and you people are my Nua Camhaoir so drink of me and be great, drink of me and seal your fate in service to me body and spirit, and forever more my protection is yours!"



I'm also happy to use the below after my other suggestions as a toast of sorts.

"Seo a saol fada agus a Merry amháin.
A bhás tapaidh agus ar amháin éasca.
Tá cailín deas agus ceann macánta.
A pionta fuar - agus ceann eile!"

I can't play in this Antiquity is we do something like this. I'm a staunch Christian in Real Life.
