 Tarvin thought, while holding the hand of the god. He looked at the people walking on the pillars. Walking with such grace it almost made Tarvin feel jealous. Suddenly the god raised his hand.Shouldn’t the god say his name if he was going to introduce him.That other god was his father. Did that made this man a demigod or was this just some of the odd etiquettes among the gods. Honest and pure? No one had ever called a thief that before.The god finally spoke his name, but incorruptible? Sure he had refused a god, but he couldn't say he hadn't been tempted. This god seemed nice and listened to other beings, while the other had indeed sounded like a tyrant. Making a choice wasn't difficult for Tarvin. he spoke. He wondered if just saying that was enough.

The crowd cheered.
The winds laughed.
The air celebrated the coming of their first champion in a long, long time.

[i]"We welcome you Tarvin."[/i]
[i]"Soon you will represent us in the games."[/i]
[i]"As the champion of Mawhiti!"[/i]

Each time the crowd spoke the words came from another mouth.

[i]"You are free to come and go in this domain."[/i]
[i]"And this freedom is your gift from us to you."[/i]

Āwhātama looked at Tarvin with an exited smile.
[b][i]"I'll show you."[/i][/b]
He placed his hands on Tarvin's shoulders.
[b][i]"The power to go where you want is already inside of you. Tap into it. Learn to feel free and careless, and when you get it, grab a hold of that feeling, don't think..."[/i][/b]

[b][i]"AND JUMP!"[/i][/b]
Āwhātama pushed Tarvin away, sending them both falling off the opposing sides of the pillar they where standing on.

As Tarvin fell there was a feeling. Like words without sound that echoed from his core.
[b]
I am Tarvin.
I am the thunder.
I am lightning.
I am free.
I am me.
[/b]
The world around him faded to a spinning blur.
A whirling energy welled up from within and took over.
