 ? ? ? : From the depth, the darkness of age, time begins once more, becoming the waves.? ? ?
? ? ? : Chaotic beginning, the moment of birth, we sing of their origins, the lords of the earth.
? ? ? : Awaken oh forces, beckon all time, the end was ago, the beginning is nigh!
? ? ? : Call to the soul-
? ? ? : Be taken aback, beware the Horseman!
? ? ? : Avarak.

>Be(a)ware of your surroundings.  Avarak : Hm.
Francine : Er... hi?...
Avarak : The world has just ended. Also it is beginning.
Francine : Huh?
Avarak : You should not witness this, yet many things defy the order of things, do they not?
Francine: Why the long face?
Avarak : ...? Ah, humor.
Francine : Eh heh... sorry.
Avarak : They rise and fall, live and die, descend and ascend, yet none have ascended.
Francine: I don't understand.
Avarak : Yet one has ascended, and one has lived, and not died, where none had defied this before.
Francine : Um, sorry if this is uh, rude, but, who or, what, are you?...
Avarak : The word in your understanding is... a demon.
Avarak : That is what I should be. But I am what should not be. I am that I shall be for I was.
Francine : ...
Avarak : Allow me to speak plainly. I am a demon, who has become something that a demon should not.
Francine : What's that?
Avarak : A god.
Francine : Oh.
Avarak : As such, we stand upon the shore of a place greater than even I, greater than us all, for it is where we came from, and feed upon.
Francine: What mighT THAT BE?
Before he replies, Avarak consumes one of the lights raising from the churning water.
Avarak : This was a soul, freshly born from the genesis of creation anew, from where, the greater Sea of Mists.
Avarak : It is the great void, the space between darkest corners, the emptiness between dimensions. From it worlds rise and fall, as do the souls that inhabits them.
Avarak : For you to be standing here, seeing it with your own eyes... you are a new god then, yes?
Before you can reply, Avarak snatches another light from the sky and extends it forth in his palm, though the white of his eyes has vanished, you can feel him staring at you, through you.
Avarak: Then a soul, dark and powerful, to you on your ascension. Unless... you aren't a god?...
Before you answer, you recall a wise saying from a memory floating to the surface of your mind.
If someone asks you, if you're a god, you say YES!
But, if he is a god, maybe he knows already and it's a test...?

Don't answer. Just sorta grab the purple soul, make a wish, and let it fly away, like a firefly.
Maybe Avarak can learn from your example.
If you're a demon who became a god, why not act godly. It's within his power to change his actions to match his station.
Has he considered ♪♫ Music ♫♪ ? Conjure an air guitar and wail out some sick riffs.

Don't answer. Just sorta grab the purple soul, make a wish, and let it fly away, like a firefly.  No need to consume a soul in its infancy. You take a moment and think of a wish, hoping for the best for this wandering spirit and your own safety.  You take a breath to help it on its way and-  Woops.  Avarak rests his hand upon your head, your soul feels like it's on fire! ALL of you feels like it's on fire! And...and... wow, it actually... feels... nice? Avarak : The spark of divinity in you is small, meager, and frail. The shell is not yet strong enough to cultivate it, the soil tepid and weak. Such a spirit would be a delicacy to a demon...
Avarak : But I am more than what I was, and so shall you be, with my help. The pact between us is sealed, young god.

What happens if your soul seed is grown and cultivated. What does it grow into? Does it become like a Towering Oak of souls? Or more like a verdant garden of souls? Does the metaphor break down?
Also, as a young god, you need a name. A new name, befitting your station.

>What other gods are out there, exactly?  Avarak : As many as the lights of the heavens, to the sand on the shore of this great sea...
Avarak : So too are the beings you might rightly call 'gods'.
Avarak : Not all are as I am, nor am I as others are.
Avarak : To challenge their rule and title is foolishness. Avarak : But I give you the spark of true divinity. Ascension at its purest.
Avarak : But the path is yours to discover, your part of our bargain is to nurture the pallid light of your soul.He points forward as the ocean begins to churn, an eerie green light illuminating it from the depths.  A great serpent breaches the waves, its pale eyes falling upon you and Avarak. ? ? ? : HORSEMAN, WE MEET AGAIN. THOUGH, WHO IS THIS YOUNG SOUL NEXT TO YOU? Avarak says nothing as the serpent leans forward, its gaze bearing down upon him and you. The Horseman maintains his composure. ? ? ? : YOUNG SOUL, YOUR LIGHT IS FAMILIAR... BUT STRANGE. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? |

You are a young small soul, so you should have a young small name. It will grow as you do. For now, you are "La".
Sea Lizard -> Share your wisdom.

YOUR NAME IS THE POWER THAT OTHERS SHALL INVOKE IN DUE TIME. FALLOW LA, TO BECOME THAT WHICH YOU ARE MEANT TO BE, SEEK THE RESTING PLACE OF THE GODS. Fallow-La : The... gods?? ? ? : THE GODS OF YOUR WORLD, THE GODS OF THESE DREAMLANDS. THEIR GREAT CITY RESTS BEYOND THE FURTHEST HORIZON. I AWAIT TO SEE YOUR STAR ASCEND, YOUNG SOUL. Fallow-La : Oh great... serpent...? Sorry, what's your name?He is silent for a moment. ORAEBUS : I AM ORAEBUS. FATHER OF MIST, LORD OF SERPENTS. Fallow-La : How do I... reach this city?ORAEBUS : THE PATH BEGINS AS EACH GREAT JOURNEY, ONE STEP AT A TIME. THERE IS ANOTHER, ONE WHO WAS AT A TIME, LIKE YOU. A SLEEPER WHO HAD AN AWAKENING, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE SUCH A GIFT AS YOURSELF. HE WILL GUIDE YOU. FIND HIM.Fallow-La : I will.ORAEBUS : GOOD.
 Avarak is nowhere to be seen, but you can still feel that hollow gaze of those sunken eyes upon you from somewhere, distant now. ORAEBUS : MAY WE MEET AGAIN, YOUNG SOUL.You turn to face Oraebus, but the sea and sand have become a dirty path leading to a distant wood. The dark skies break as dawn approaches, and your journey, truly begins. |

Gather some rocks on the way to the beachside jungle. Rocks are useful. And the work of carrying them builds character.

 It's nothing to be afraid of. Just a giant talking sea serpent. And a horse demon. And you ate someone's soul. Oh god are you a demon now? Are you a demon god? ... Wait, did he say dreamlands-  Fallow-La : Huh? Is someone?... In the darkening forest, you come across another traveler, or... someone at least. Oh geeze are they dead? Can you die here??? ?? : Ugh my stomach...Fallow-La: ...hey, are you the dreamer I'm looking for??? : I doubt anyone's looking for me, but to reassure you, no.Fallow-La : What's wrong with your stomach??? : Was hungry for the longest time but now I just feel like I ate a bag of rocks. I'll be okay.
Fallow-La : What's your name?The man is pensive for a moment, finally opening his eyes. The scar on his cheek seems to continually leak blood, despite having healed over... is he okay?
Fallow-La : Are you injured??? : ...hard to say... mind is foggy, but... no, I'll be fine. My name? It's... |

He seems like a Donovan or a Derrick, unless he has a new name similar to yourself.
He seems Coarse.

>"Stranger than you'll ever know." >It's Ted. There's no way you can live up to the mystique.  He stands finally, removing his jacket. His eyes meet yours. You pause for a moment as you take in the sight. It's hard to say how, but you can almost feel the weight of his soul behind them... ?? : My story's... a long one, I might tell you eventually but. Just... call me... Ted. Ted... Brightspot.Fallow-La : That's your name?Ted : My name was lost to me a long time ago.Fallow-La : ...I could give you a new one.He pauses once more, and seems to be someplace far away for a moment's time.  You see... something... a promise? A debt? No, a reckoning. His fate was taken from him long ago, or he gave it up... but it's so hard to- Ted : ...a new name huh. Heh. I sought a Name before, but it took everything from me. I still wonder if it was worth it in the end.You stare over his shoulder, something catching your attention.  Fallow-La : I think they were happy with what you did, in the end.Ted : What-how do you?...Fallow-La : It's hard to explain, but it's like... a memory clings close to you, but whatever sorrow was there was lifted with your actions. I'm sorry, it's gone now.Ted : ...what'd you have in mind, for a name, I mean?Fallow-La : Hm? Oh, right! What about... Coarse, maybe?
Ted : I'll think about it. But how did you know all that?Fallow-La: It's hard to say, it felt like someone was telling me it, or, I already knew it somehow? You feel a chill up your spine, but it quickly passes. |
