When the Gods return.

Kai moved his hands to his hips and his eye twitched slightly at Lana's advice, he didn't want to listen to Saitra, he didn't doubt that Saitra knew more than she was saying, he doubted the images forced into his skull were practical jokes, and he wasn't sure how but it felt like she was purposely keeping something from him. He looked up at Lana and ran a hand through his hair, it seemed she got the easier one to talk to at least, he almost envied her, minus the fact he was a sacrificial god.
"You know I would ask but she refuses to tell me anything, says it's not fair. You see the information she has is very important so I must give her a piece of information that's just as important...I've lived as a farmer for a long time...there is nothing I've done that is, end of humanity worthy. Thus she just stays silent to my questions...least yours is open to discussing it."
"You make me sound as if I am difficult."
"You are difficult," Kai said simply.

Kai turned to face the newcomer still trying to take in the truth he had just been told about removing Saitra. It seemed the only way to get rid of Saitra was to die, or help her. He had to admit it was a hard decision to make, it seemed the woman that appeared out of nothingness had similar sentiments to him about their hosts, he supposed that meant she had a god in her too.
"I'm not sure what they really are either, these beasts," Kai said looking at the newcomer. "Apparently it's really bad. I guess yours isn't big on explaining either."
Kai looked back at Lana staring at her as he contemplated his next words, he really didn't want to get involved in all this, but this woman was the only person that could give him answers. Ignoring Saitra wasn't really an option, maybe before he had the coin but now her voice was annoyingly clear and loud.
"I have a home on the outskirts of town...but I'd like to find out more about what's going on. Getting Saitra out of my head is a good start to my life returning to normal, I'm guessing if she leaves the temple leaves and I'll get my field back."
This was all speculation but he needed some kind of hope to hold onto.
"Even if it doesn't I'm tired of her speaking in my head," Kai said. "If taking down some darkness get's rid of her I'm open to learning more."

When the Gods return.

Kai stared at the priest blinking a few times as the man seemed to explain his supposed duty, running a hand through his hair he sighed as the priest stared at him, he made no attempt to tense up or hide anything about himself, he just stared back at him with the same blank expression. What he said was meaningless Saitra had already gone on about some kind of duty, even showed him what he should be doing but digging in his ear Kai patiently waited for the one he addressed to speak to him. When she finally spoke he looked up at her and folded his hands behind head as she sent the priest away.
What an interesting turn of events, also do you feel that...it's like we're being watched."
"Nope," Kai said staring ahead.

Kai squeezed the bridge of his nose when the woman name Lana spoke to him mentioning herself and Malthael, he supposed hosts were like this when they fully fused, or maybe she was a special case, he had no idea and didn't really care. He was also pretty sure she just called him a spoiled child but now wasn't the time to deal with such things, at the moment this girl was the only one that could answer the questions Saitra refused to answer. It seemed this Lana and her god knew who was inside his head as well, that made this a little easier to explain then.
"I'm here for my melons," Kai said simply. "I suppose if I were to name something else it's answers...because my melons were destroyed."
"Would you let go of the melons, look my aim was slightly off."
"Oh yeah your aim was off, a few feet over and you'd owe me a new house," Kai said shaking his head. "Anyway...I just want answers. This god ended up in my head, she made me get her artifact and keeps going on about some great evil, or some beast or something. Look why is this god here and how do I make her go away."

When the Gods return.

Ha ha it's all good. Welcome and all that jazz.

Larel nodded in agreement with Hotaru as they headed back inside, they would just do what they could now and enjoy what downtime they had. Strange enough as he brewed the tea he realized that their current situation was pretty simple, Zenmaru wasn't yelling in his head, Hotaru was cooking nearby and his attention was focused on the tea. He blinked a few times and glanced to his right expecting Zenmaru to say something, to ruin the moment but she was quiet. He wasn't sure how he felt about it but decided not to push his luck and just focused on making the tea, when the pleasant scent hit him he felt his whole body relax, it was amazing what a good cup of tea could do. Larel only took his eyes away from the tea as Hotaru spoke, he arched his brows at her before giving a small nod, he would have added no Alari in there but he liked that list.
"Agreed it'd be nice to not sleep with one eye open, it's been a draining couple of days," Larel said sighing a little. "I hope Mera-sama's okay...I swear if Alari kidnapped her while my back is turned..." Larel said trailing off at the end.

Alari scratched his cheek wanting to tell Mera it was impossible not to mind but just stayed silent, at the mention of Larel's assumptions he gave a small nod sighing, the longer they stayed away the worst off it would get. He wasn't sure how Larel always somehow made it worse in his own mind but it would be for the best if they avoided it. Turning he followed behind Mera moving his hands in his sleeves as they made their way back to the town, closing his eyes for a moment Alari let some of this thoughts drift for a moment. There was a bit of hesitation in him but he figured if anyone deserved to know it was Mera.
"I feel like I should share something with everyone...since you've seen it anyway...especially if Larel already knows. I'd hate for him to come to the wrong conclusion," Alari said. "We can talk back in the room."

Sorry for the length on that one I wanted to get a firm intro in.

When the Gods return.

Kai had learned quickly and at a young age that there would be days when the world seemed against you, in such circumstances it was important to have a positive mindset and tackle such issues with determination and tenacity. Standing on his small farm, the bright sun shining high in the sky a cool breeze brushing past him, ticking the skin not covered by his overalls. A day like this was a perfect time for things to go wrong. Staring ahead his watering can in his left hand pouring excess water onto his planted melons he found out very quickly today was one of those days. A rectangular shaped structure made of old yellow brick had planted itself right in the middle of his field, towering over him and his simple home nearby. His gaze moved down to the crushed vegetables the structure had crushed with it's arrival and his mouth twitched to the side as he looked back at the building. The object that had crushed most his field and his dinner for the next few weeks was a temple, the type that had been appearing as of late, places where artifacts of the gods rested. The gods had destroyed his crops and there was little he could do to fix it.

For a while now Kai had heard whispers in his dreams, had caught the visage of a woman in the corner of his eyes as he worked his field, from the moment he woke to when he slept he felt eyes upon him. He figured it was his imagination and paid it no real mind, but staring at the large temple he supposed whoever was trying to talk to him got impatient. Thus leading Kai back to his earlier lesson, there were days when the world seemed against you but as he turned and walked away from the temple he realized that today was not a day to tackle this issue, he was going to nap and pretend it wasn't there.

Regretfully the screaming in his head kept him from going through his day, the voice in his skull had gotten louder no longer whispers but a voice, and an annoying one at that telling him to enter the temple. The whole matter was giving him a headache and though he ignored it until night fell he found it hard to sleep with the continued yelling it seemed the only solution to true slumber was to heed the voice. With little other choice Kai entered into the temple, moving down narrow passageways, grabbing a torch off the faded wall for light as he delved deeper into the musty temple until he came across a large room, with a single bridge leading to a center altar. Avoiding the temptation to look down into the darkness below he stepped onto the pillar rising out of the shadows below and approached the small altar with a single coin resting on it, the moonlight cast down onto the coin from an opening above and Kai stared at the coin for a moment.
"Take it."
The voice was clear in his skull and Kai blinked realizing what this was, an artifact of the gods, and item that would give him immense magical power. Knowing this he started to turn around only for the bridge behind him to break apart and fall into the darkness below, his eyes twitched at this knowing it was the gods doing and with a heavy sigh he turned around and reaching forward took hold of the coin.

---

"Yes I would like to buy some vegetables," Kai said holding out Saitra's coin.
The screaming in his head caused him to bring a hand to his head, he had yet to fully become Saitra's host, refusing to activate the Artifact no matter how much she asked him, she had revealed her name when he took the coin and he informed her that he was going to get the gold back that he lost. Regretfully no one recognized the coin as any real currency as it wasn't and some ran away from him, though Saitra wouldn't explain why. She spoke to him repeatedly telling him to activate the Artifact, to gain immeasurable power but he declined and he realized very quickly that this coin was almost stuck to him, and she was already bound to him but he refused her power to fully cement what he considered a parasitic relationship. His attention moved to a gathering of people moving towards another one of the temples, Kai's eyes narrowed slightly and he went to follow the crowd, if they were moving to see another host than maybe they could give him some answers.

Kai had gathered his simple outfit upon leaving his home pulling the hood up as he walked into the temple, Saitra informed him that asking questions here would be meaningless, minus the fact that he spoke in a monotone voice with a light tone, making him sound uninterested in almost everything, it would be hard to take him seriously, the god here wasn't going to answer his questions and she doubted the host would. Kai ignored the voice in his head and stood in the crowd waiting for his turn, he said nothing watching the others rely on someone else to do their own jobs, he closed his eyes tired of watching it after a bit.
When his turn came up Kai walked forward lowering his hood as he raised his head and looked into the eyes of the woman.

"...I can feel Malthael here," Saitra said from within his mind. "The power coming from that girl, she is definitely the host,
a message to her is meaningless, we should just-"
"Malthael I'm not here for any blood sacrifice, I got an annoying god in my head that won't leave me alone. My fields have been destroyed and she's bound herself to me. I'm here to ask you how to shut her up. Don't really care about this coming evil or what have you, I just want to work on my farm."
"Are you insane?! Do you understand what you've done. You've asked for something while giving nothing, there is no balance in this!"
"Would you shut up about balance," Kai said looking sideways. "Where's the balance in my broken melons, pay me back damn it."

When the Gods return.

Saitra

Name:Saitra, Goddess of Karma and Fortune.

Background:Saitra is the confident and obsessive Goddess of Karma and Fortune, she believes in equality in all matters, good and evil, light and dark, consequences and reward. She has little patience for any that break or ignore these rules, though admittedly she tends to mess up on her own when it comes to the balance of things, always questioning what is truly good, and what is truly evil. Saitra's involvement in mortal affairs is unknown but the assumption is due to the situation she seeks to restore balance her own way. Due to her obsessive nature however it's advised she never get involved with humans directly in any form, thus any that know her know better than to go anywhere near her relic. Those that don't know end up a victim to her strange whims.

Power:Saitra allows her host the ability to mess with the positive and negative aspects of others, more specifically living things. The host is able to pull the positive or negative aspects of a person into themselves as energy and make a copy of the subject, this act does nothing to the subject, due to Saitra’s limited power however it’s impossible to make copies of anything she’s not formally connected to, thus only her host is affected by this. She doesn’t permit more than one copy as well as that can mess up the balance of things. She can also be extremely picky about who the power works on, she forbids it on other hosts since their Karma is hard enough to manage without extra problems.

Artifact- A single coin: A coin with a lotus on one side and a prayer wheel on the other. The coin itself alters the karma of the host, making their positive karma negative and vice versa, it has no real use to anyone else.

Kai

(Respect to Parashi)

Positive Kai

(Respect to Daenarys)

Negative Kai

(Respect to Ovos)

Name:Kai
Age:23
Personality: Kai is a kind but strange young man with a stone face and an almost expressionless disposition, he can be difficult to read at times due to this but he is an honest man with a sense of humor, though his habit of not showing how he feels can make him seem more serious than he actually is. Kai is generally lost in thought over one thing or another, accustomed to daydreaming through most of his days, this can cause him to miss simple things at times, though he has a very straightforward focus, almost tunnel vision causing him to put all his energy into a single action allowing him to deal with any problem with a strategic mind.
Bio: Kai grew up in a simple house as an only child, he grew up a peasant and the moment he was of age he got to work to try and help provide for his family. Though he had a mild curiosity over magic and blades both took time to learn and his parents were more focused on keeping their livelihood than learning magic and training in the sword and Kai followed in their footsteps. Earning everything in his possession he constantly worked on a farm expecting to be a farmer for the remainder of his days. Saitra however had other plans for Kai, for some reason she chose the peasant boy with a mean right hook to be her host, though Kai isn’t exactly keen on the idea.
Abilities/Skill: Manipulation of Self- Aside from having being able to throw a punch Kai is able to call out the positive and negative aspects of himself manifesting them as summons to fight for him. The power of his summons depends on the amount of Karma he’s drawn in or accumulated and as he fights it drains from him, he is only able to use one summon at a time and can only carry one pool of Karma in his body at one time as it manipulates his own Karma. (Can’t have two positive or two negatives after all).
His artifact helps him switch it, but he loses all Karma of one side, meaning whatever summon is out vanishes. He also can’t drain Karma while his summons are out.
Positive Kai- The physical side of Kai, his positive aspects comes out and fights up close and personal with a flurry of blows and strikes, the summon is powerful and quick and almost acts on its own when active, which is good for Kai who has little formal training in fighting, this does reflect in his summon but it makes up in that weakness with strength and speed, it takes hits for Kai having a strong form. The summon is an almost mirror of Kai in personality.
Negative Kai- The Negative side of Kai is the ranged side of Kai hurling concentrated energy at things from a distance, it is weak to physical attacks as such Kai has to protect the summon himself as it can’t fight without magic. Unlike his positive aspect his negative aspect uses far more Karma meaning it can’t stay out as long but it’s ability to fling powerful magic makes up for its short time out. His negative side is quiet and bashful unlike Kai.

Oh man I know that pain, for me I can see the whole thing in my head, you know beginning to end, and all the build up and I get so excited but that I just want to skip but I stop myself going "No without the buildup there's no character...just hold back."
Almost every time.

Got the weekend off so I'm catching up on stuff now.

[Mizos]The Tides of The Past[SanaChan][Take Two]

If I could put into words the amount of interesting (good and bad) that had happened over the last two months...well I'd probably have my own book out as that would require true literary genius. Firstly I am formally back, not just popping in. My trip is booked, hours reduced, and my fingers need to work some magic.

[Mizos]The Tides of The Past[SanaChan][Take Two]

Bah I can work with that.

On that note sorry for my delay Asana, i've been on and off but it's been a pretty interesting couple of months.
Kind of wish I finished college when I younger, older you get the more responsibilities are there. Still I wouldn't give them up.
That aside my final tests are on the 29th after that I'll have an abundance of free time, I've also been preparing for an out of country trip as well and that's basically one, minus extra work shifts I should have more free time.

I appreciate your patience as always Asana just wanted to say that. Expect a post either the end of the week or next.
