Ascension of Gods (High Casual) (Still Accepting)

If it wasn't 3:30am I'd start on the next post but it will probably have to wait till tomorrow for mine. Apologies.

To The Edge of the World...

Felmer reached out incredibly slowly towards the clearly conspicuous book but his hand stopped short as a flash of a thought flew through his mind, Could this be a decoy? Quickly turning to look at the defenceless man asleep two feet away and narrowed his eyes. What are you hiding, Father? Felmer knew that this was his only option so grasping the book firmly, Felmer inched out slowly but steadily until the surprisingly large recipe book was in his hands. The merchant opened the book and sighed realising his recklessness, he gasped; which also didn't help. Grabbing his mouth he refused to look at the priest, and ironically, hoping to God that he didn't wake up.

The Dagda

Following silently he would hear her out before speaking again but eyed the Queen warily, he would not be scorned again. The sensation of a barrier being lifted emanated through him once again but did not invoke the same reaction as the catalyst was known to him this time. He quickly eyed the wounds which had healed quite nicely except one, this had pierced the place where a mortal would normally house their, arguably, most vital organ but yet, that shouldn't matter much to a deific being but for some reason, it did. He began to wonder if they had coated the ballista with something or it had been blessed by another God. Upon realising that he had let his mind loose on things unimportant currently, The Dagda returned his focus on her again.

"My King, I must confess one of our number is in Egyptian lands, without the knowledge of any Egyptian. Thoth came to bargain for us to join them in the rise against the Romans, he left without heading the words of Fate."

Upon hearing the name of an Egyptian God the Druid grumbled, We are a proud and strong pantheon, what could we possibly need from those societal faeries that we don't have. His expression soured slightly as the Phantom Queen beckoned towards the small pool surrounded by a chill white blanket of crystallised water.

"That Goddess newly born, her powers sealed by my hand at your daughter's request. Placed in Egypt by need."

"My little Bríg told you this? To do this? She's almost as bad as her brothers but why is it that this poor soul was cast into faraway lands?" He peered into the water at the young girl, oblivious to her roots and to her purpose. "We can't just sit here and wait. Action must be taken, these decadent fools canno-"

"Do not be acting in haste, old friend."

Stopped mid-rant and halted from completely blowing up The Dagda knew she was right. The time for combat would come but that time was not upon the eager Celtic God. Not yet. He stared at the Moon Goddess for a short while, quiet and calculating clearly deep in thought; with glazed eyes he sighed before bellowing, "So, where'd that ale go?"

The Dagda

Slouching upon the roots that had pushed themselves out of the ground, his makeshift Throne. Something rustled him from his quick recuperation. A feeling, rather, a sense that some sort of barrier had been activated and there was only one being close enough to be able to do that. No. There's no way some of those detestable soldiers got through, did they? But just as it had been risen, it fell and shock filled The Dagda. She...can't have....couldn't have...there's no way a God could be felled by... He had just began to dash through the forest before realising that the barrier collapsed far too easily for it to have been breached. Unless it wasn't breached but let down of her own accord. The Dagda stopped in his tracks and smiled, "Oh, hohoho. How conniving. Will 'ave to keep an eye on this one in future." The smile faded as a quite conspicuous Raven came into sight. At its speed the bird clearly wasn't a typical avian, "Return, flying rat, to your master. I shall be there shortly." The rotund man shooed the bird away and contorted his body back into its Druid form. Easier to dash in. He spoke momentarily before getting ready to make the quick jump back. "Damnable birds'll be the end of us."

Upon landing on the cliff The Dagda wasted no time in getting answers. He moved slowly towards the Phantom Queen speaking with a tone filled with snark and crass, "Oh my, have I missed the festivities? Surely this little wassail you had should've ran on through the night." Turning to face the treeline some bits partial to orange and black as the damage from the fire had wreacked havoc to the peaceful wood, recognising that he wasn't angry at her but filled with rage from the recent battle he looked at the Queen once again and spoke calmly, "What deals have you made?"

@LadyRunic

Oh, didn't realise you posted again. It never set my alert off. Sorry about that.

To The Edge of the World...

Sorry, had everything converge on recent dates.

To The Edge of the World...

My posts may become a bit belated with the release of DS3. Gonna have my hands full with that and work.

To The Edge of the World...

@Garth It's been a pleasure. Hopefully you'll be able to return.

To The Edge of the World...

@KelewenTempting. Felmer was just gonna take the chest but maybe he wouldn't want to attract so much attention. I think he'd give the search for a key a try.

To The Edge of the World...

Felmer placed his ear against the door to Beacoms private quarters and listened intently, hearing the sound of a squeaking chest as it was manipulated; then jumped at the candle being blown out. Leaning against the wall Felmer waited for a long while before shakily pushing against the door and stopping momentarily at the groan of the door. After 30 minutes of starting and stopping the merchant finally entered the room. He loomed over the sleeping pious man before looking around and saw a chest out of place on the bookshelf. Aha, that's not going to hold literature. I doubt it's unlocked and the key is not going to be easily found.
