Lyah squatted down to Vizlin's level. "My name is Lyah, I live in the village you rule - ehrm.. used to rule."She smiled awkwardly and stuck her open hand out."I don't know why events unfolded as they did, but I'm sure you were put here for a reason. Maybe if you come with, and help me collect these bounties, you will find answers. I heard there's a special prize for the winner. If you assist me I will share."Lyah knew she was taking a leap of faith, she knew next to nothing of Vizlin, except that he was generally seen as proud and cruel. But she figured the gods had plans for him, otherwise he'd be off to a more fitting place. Wherever that may be.

Erä stood by as Lyah spoke to the golden tusked pig.
"You will need a more fitting form, if you are to help my kin."
Once more Erä pointed his spear at Vizlin.
He began to grow. His skin bubbled and changed, his snout shortened and cureved down.
The pig's squeels bevcame the screams of a man.
Shapeshifting is no painless process.
This all lasted no more then seconds, and when it was done, a man stood between Lyah and Erä.
The man looked like Vislin's former body, but different. Younger, stronger. Less fat.
"I grant you the form of your prime in life. Your form will be but a shell, for your true self, is that what you just were."
As this man opened his mouth to say something, Lyah could see the two golden teeth.

The cat struggled silently, but was unable to escape from the girl's remarkably firm grasp. For some reason, the cat knew that this meant trouble, and not the kind that she liked. Looking around to make sure they couldn't be overheard, the cat said: "I know a great game, and I'm sure you'll love it."While the little girl walked through the alleys of Travel's End, she was too preoccupied with the struggling cat to notice a minor change in her surroundings. Nothing remarkable to the mortal eye, but significant in the eyes of the Gods: she had been transported to the Realm of the Unlikely. Here, they wouldn't be overheard talking, and Vryad could unveil the plans to the little girl.

Zaya bit her lip.
She was not surprised her cat had turned out this way, after it had talked, it could just as well have turned into a winged white horse with light refracting behind it's path.
But this was better. She did not like he responsibility it offered her, all this talk about gods,
hen again, it did offer her the power to mess with others, and never go hungry.
"I do want to have some fun"
She dropped to her knees and looked up at the black creature.
A wide grin on her face and her eyes sparking with malevolence,
there was no shroud of kindness left.
"I like you kitty, and I want to stay to have fun."
She raised her hand and touched the creature's nose gently.
"I want to play your game"

The cat cried out in surprise. This wasn't the plan."What the... hey, stop that!"

Zaya was surprised to say the least, but she was young enough to know talking animals were real, they were in all the stories.
Not that anyone had ever told her a bed time story, but she had listened underneath the windows of the children in town around bedtime.
"Oww we are going to have fun playing little kitty!"
Zaya started making her way to the edge of the fairground, the same quiet place she led that dumb boy.

In the past minute, Vizlin had been chased by wolves, lions, bears, and even an very angry pigeon. In fact, the pigeon had been one of the most mean because it had blocked his only path the the light between the trees. But after he had gotten his leg stuck between the roots of a scary looking tree, he had been certain it was all over. But then a shadow had appeared and pointed a spear at him, and he nearly fainted. The sound of wind rushing through leaves in an endless chant filled the air, and Vizlin knew it to be a command. Bidden to speak, he did so, unknowing of what was in store for him. "I was the Mayor of Travel's End, Lord of the common people, and Leader of the rabble. They listened to me when I spoke, and they followed my commands without doubt. And then the Gods came and brought chaos to my order. They took my power and my life from me. They cursed me, spit on me, and threw me off my own balcony! Then there was a die and a voice, and next thing I know, I'm being chased by lions!"Tears streamed down Vizlin's cheeks as he finished his lament.

The Keeper of the untamed looked down at the pitiful creature.
"You were not meant to live in my realm. yet here you are.
You were sent by chance, not strength or devotion."
If Erä's current form had a face, it would be smiling.
"I will grant you a chance. The opportunity to go back, and make a choice."
The wild wanderer took a step back.
"However, there is a condition.
You can return to the mortal realm, but you will stay by her side."
Erä had stepped to the side and was now pointing to Lyah.
"You were sent to my realm, so you are mine now, and I command you to accompany Lyah, my kin.
You do however have a choice when you are back there.
You can search for revenge, to punish your killer and the one who sent you here,
or you can change your ways, be a better man then you were."
Erä held his spear high, and then plunged it into the soft ground.
A small pool of reflective water welled up.
"Come, little one" he said upon the pig "Come and see."

Tavon winked at Lyah. "Welcome to the family my champion." He went over to her and took her by the hand. "Since your my champion now, I suppose I should give you some powers. How about I give you the ability to bend the shape of nature to your will." Tavon grasped Lyah’s hand tightly and she could feel the warm energy flow inside her. She started to see the plants around her differently. "This should be enough, but as my daughter let me give you something special. You should be able to handle it with me as your father." With his other hand he touched her forehead. Another kind of force started to stream inside her. A more primal energy. "This should give you the ability to change other energies into nature energy."Tavon took a step back and looked at her. He saw the energies mix up with her own energy. "Let me give you a warning about your new powers, don't try to use them at their full capacity right now. They are very tiring to use. Over time you will grow more accustomed to them and they will get easier to use.""So now that is done, let's get something to eat and maybe you can tell me more about your past. I want to know how life has been for you." He snapped his finger and a wooden table with chairs around it appeared. On the table were all kinds of food and drinks. There was mozzarella and winter fruit salad, beetroot carpaccio, apples drenched in honey, roasted meat, cold water and wine of godly quality. "You're dining with us brother?"

Suddenly, Vizlin was in a dark forest. All around him he heard the sounds of animals. A twig snapped behind him.""Vryad turned back to the world of the living.""

Erä had been silent while his brother and niece spoke.
It had been a strange meal. Erä was not used to personally dealing with people besides the other gods, and his animals, of course.
This girl, this demigod, confused Erä.
Erä ate, standing besides the two, sitting seemed silly.
Suddenly, Erä heard something, a small sound, coming from his forest.
He took a step back into the shadows, and he was gone, leaving the two to talk.

When he stepped onto the soft woodland floor, he witnessed the following:
A pink, fat, little boar ran past, squealing like he was being gutted already.
From the direction the boar came from a small pack of wolves emerged, they were not even hunting, just toying with the pink creature.

Erä raised his hand, and immediately, the wolves stopped, looking very distraught their plaything had been taken.
The wild God followed the squealing creature, which was not hard to track, if you consider the sounds it was making.
The boar had gotten his hoof stuck in a cluster of roots, and was frantically pulling on it, only making it worse.
Erä got a closer look of the little beast.
It was small for a boar, but considerately well fed, he was nearly hairless, so he almost looked like a farmer's pig.
His small tusks were golden.
Erä was amused by the crying creature, he pointed his spear at the pig.
"Speak" he commanded "tell me your tale, for you are not of this place."

A small black cat sat near the pyre, glancing up at the little girl who walked past. With a sad expression the cat followed the arc the cake made, how it flew into the flame, and was instantly burned to a crisp. The girl had made a sacrifice without intent. The girl was scruffy, though well dressed, and obviously trouble. The gods would scoff at a champion of her stature, of her demeaner. She didn't even believe in the gods.But that's the thing about gods; even if you don't believe in them, they can still believe in you.The cat made a path to intercept the girl as she rounded a corner. Away from the fires. away from prying eyes. Away from the center of attention. The cat noted how another thief made a speech on rejecting society. He too would have been interesting, although he was way too certain of himself. Besides, this girl could be trouble. The cat loved trouble. It's the primary reason she was chosen to find a champion for the most unlikely of deities. Chosen to guide, train, empower and distract the champion. Mostly distract now that she thought about it.The cat stopped right in front of the girl, in an attempt to trip her.

Zaya saw the cat, even before she started walking.
She had gotten quite good at acting like she didn't see small animals, it was easier to capture hem that way.
This cat however, acted almost as if it wanted to be caught, moving so close to her own path.
When the cat was close enough for zaya's liking, she lunged, grabbing the unsuspecting animal by the neck.
"Come with me little thing." she whispered to the cat with the sweetest voice she could muster.
She smiled, but in her big eyes, a spark of malevolence glimmered.

Zaya walked through the fairground, content in her warm clothes and with a filled belly.
She was halfway her fifth cake slice, stolen of course, when she walked past one of the smaller pyres.
'I'm filled up anyway.' she shrugged, and she tossed the last half of the treat into the flames.
It was just a jest, she didn't believe in Gods, only in her own abilities.
And besides, if they were real, why would they pick a stray like herself?
But what if one did? Zaya let her mind wander as she stopped to stare at the flames.

Erä looked at Tavon. He had a child.. that meant in some way, Erä had a child as well.

Lyah stepped off the edge confidently. Instead of a long drop into a fiery pit, she stepped onto soft grass. She was almost getting used to this.She stood in the garden and tried to make sense of what she saw before her. The figure standing before her father was beyond description.Not so much a person, or a creature even. The shifting forms caught the light in a way impossible to understand to mortal eyes.Lyah realized that, if it wasn't for the divine blood that ran trough her veins, the sight of this entity would have driven her to madness.As she stared into the impossible she thought she recognized something. Not an image, a feeling. A feeling of calm, something natural and true.A similar feeling to what seemed to echo of her father.She drew the conclusion that they must be the same. This was the true form of the divine.A shiver went down her spine.Maybe it was her heretige, maybe she was starting to get used to understanding the impossible, but something gave her the courage to speak."H-hello. I am Lyah... Are you my uncle?"

Erä instantly took a form understandable to mortals, that of the bronzed hunter with the beast's skull.
The lord of the hunt felt something he did not feel very often. Surprise.
This mortal had seen his true form, without going utterly insane. Would she be able to understand his voice?
'I.. I suppose so, child.'
Erä looked at Tavon.
He had a child.. that meant in some way, Erä had a child as well.
Emotion was not something the Wild Wanderer was used to.
