Ahh yes...she saw it...
This was the plane of eternal bored.
Her eyes were half lidded in a slightly tired manner as she lay ontop of a rock, not a very comfortable rock but not an uncomfortable one either as she stared up at the rather clear night sky.
Not many clouds but so many stars!
They were sparkly!
She liked sparkly things!
So that sort of made her smile and her paws rested happily upon her fluffy chest, briefly to come into contact with the necklace she wore before she peered down at it curiously.
She didn't know -why- she had this necklace, all she knew is that she always had it and not having it made her very sad.
It was her sparkly little trinket and she liked it...
All the more, it reminded her of Kazi' because of its colors.
Very nice and shiny.
With her thoughts in place she stared back up into the dark night sky, in her vision the stars started to move and dance in circular motions despite the fact it was just a self made illusion for her enjoyment.
Yes, this was a good night.

 It had been a long day of traveling for the small god and he nestled in a self-made nest to pressed down grass to form a comfortable bed. He made sure to inspect it for anything that could crawl into his hair, and also made sure there were no rocks. He had learned that lying down on a bed with a painfully pointy stone was never comfortable and now made sure to clear his makeshift beds before he settled.
Nestling into the grass, he breathed out, glad to relax and also remove his mortal guise while out here. It seemed that no one was about and he never liked hiding his appearance even if it was safer for him to not be noticed. He was much too young to face mortals, not that he wanted to talk to any at the moment. Right now, he was just learning how to be a more efficient flier and find out more about the world that he recently arrived in.
Like the stars.
Right now, he could see them twinkling above and he felt his chest swell at the sheer vastness of the sky above him. When he thought about it, he had been overwhelmed by how wide and big the world was, which only made him feel tiny on the face of the earth. Now he felt even more minuscule when he looked up at the sky above him. There were all the stars, twinkling and quite in the heated hum of the savannah. At times like this, he forgot how much he still had to learn and that he often had to stop thinking too much on what he wanted to do, and just take in his surroundings. The cool grass below him and the open sky above was just magnificent and whisked away the worries he harbored.
“ Wow..” He wished he could shine as brightly, and he breathe out, feeling awake even when he knew he should be sleeping.

At first she couldn't actually sense the Godling, but after a few moments of focusing on nothing but the stars she could feel a slight tingle in the back of her neck that made her fur briefly stand on end.
She blinked.
Ooooo she hadn't felt anything like -this- in a while...
This was a new little energy she was feeling and it made a small smile come to her features.
With a swing of her paws she ended up rolling off the rock, not particularly gracefully but still it got her off and she stood herself up to shake herself free of any bits of grass or dust that stuck to her frame.
Grass was funny like that.
But anyway, this little pin point of energy she could feel needed to be investigated...but how she would see in this darkness was beyond her, however, being sporradic of mind it soon dawned on her what to do.
The Godess' tail swung up to stip atop her head, or atleast the huge fluffy sapphire tuft that bounced atop her own fluffy fringe.
And then, all of a sudden, it started to glow.
Not a soft, dim light, but a bright glow that made her see a good few feet ahead of her as said glowing puff started to radiate small sparkles that dispersed and melted into the air as she made her way forward.
The sparkled made her happy.
So she would go seeking with a very, very happily smile.
Trotting through the grass as she peered around quietly.
"Helloooooo~?" She called out as she glided through the grass like a ship slicing through the water.

Khuluma was still not familiar of what a god felt like and what a mortal felt like. Sometimes he could notice a presence, but he was usually preoccupied with looking at something or in this case, resting, that he was too deep in thought to notice. What he did notice was a flashing light that sparkled from somewhere to his left, and startled, he turned upon his stomach and crouched low. Yawning, he rubbed his eye to make sure he hadn’t just slipped to sleep and in that way, was imagining things. When he noticed he was still very much awake, he started to worry what the mysterious light was.
To him, it looked like the stars had fallen down and were dancing about, floating like pollen out before dissolving into the air. Fireflies maybe? No. They were too bright and magnificent to be bugs. As curiosity swallowed caution, he started to rise from his hunched position in the grass, having been pressed to the ground in the nest he made, and looked up slowly. Farther head, he could see a shape, but it was dark and he could only see a vague outline of blue. The shimmering light above made it hard to see, but it was bobbing like a star that was floating above the grass.
He was shocked to hear the star called out slowly to him. Was...was it real? Hypnotized by the bobbing light, he slowly rose his head above the grass, looking to the light. “Hello? Who are you?” He said, unsure of himself.

Nothing made her smile like sparklies, they were so shiny and glittery and...sparkly.
And sparklies were awesome.
Yay sparklies!
After a shake of her head that consequently shook the glowing tuft of fur upon said head, she finally went back to focusing on the task at hand which was to find that little spark of energy that made the fur on the back of her neck still tingle.
She wondered what energy it had, if a godling at all.
Maybe she was just sensing somebody who was imagining really really really really really, at this point she had to pause for a mental breath, really really hard!
However these thoughts were shaken as soon as she heard someone, or something calling out to her.
Sounding rather unsure.
Did the energy not like her?
She hoped it didn't...
With a rather tentative step she began to move closer, her tail stretching a little further from her forehead to lighten up the path before she saw an outline. A very small outline. What was that?
She peered at the thing infront before eventually she found a small, golden godline sitting in the grass and blinked her prysm eyes at him.
..Ohhhhh...that would explain it!
With a brief smile the puff of light disapeared from her tail and she stared at the Godling with huge, curious eyes.
"...Hi there." She said softly, hoping not the frighten the little creature.

The other was in fact, not a star, but just as much of another world and holding just as much stunning power as one of the members of the cosmos above. Khuluma had no idea he had been speaking to a large goddess else he would not have been so cautious, but he was learning to be more and more careful in the mortal realm. He was a god, yes, but a very new one and hovering balls of light still made him feel that he needed to be careful. Who know what other supernatural things were out there that he did not know of and was not prepared for.
When the light went out, he had been stunned a moment, having to let his eyes adjust from the sparkling light to the darkness once more. As he pawed at his eyes, he saw a smiling goddess of the softest petal blue splashed with ripples of dark blue and spots. Her hair was wavy and her expression cheerful, but her wingspan was massive, making Khuluma feel small in comparison. She must be a very good flyer, he thought. Upon her chest was a dangling bit of jewelry in the shape of a heart shimmering in many colors and for a moment, caught his eyes. Khuluma always had a eye for jewelry, and liked to see all the beautiful additions he saw on all the gods he had met. Some were dazzling on their own, and others had bits of gold or gems on them, like this one. A pretty something for a pretty goddess.
Looking up, he pulled himself from his slightly crouched position to look up at her. “Hello. I didn’t know I was speaking with a goddess. Hi. My name is Khuluma. I'm the god of Rhetoric. Who, may I ask, are you?” He asked, looking up at her. He wondered if she was the goddess of stars, and would have said he thought she had been one, but didn’t want to be seen as a fool. Stars didn’t flutter above the grass. Really! What had he been thinking?

Oh goodness, wasn't he absoloutley lovely!
If Buni' had been more knowing of the little God she would've been inclined to run one of her paws over his luxurious mane, it looked so soft and sleek! Tilting her head briefly she didn't actually hear his words at first until she snapped back to reality and smiled at him again brightly.
God of Rhetoric...what was Rhetoric?
She pulled a face as she pondered this but the brightness soon return and she flumped onto her backside, her back legs kicked out to the side in an almost cub like manner as she gazed at the little creature.
"Who am I?" She started with a small smile. "I'm Bunika'Mwenzi! Call me Buni or Imagination...Godies and Goddess ladies normally call me Imagination, I think it's silly."
She moved to flop onto her stomache and raised a paw to rest it upon her cheek as the other lay on the ground calmly, those prysmatic, multicolored eyes staring at him happily.
"After all if you have a name, why not say it?"
She was getting a littl of track from what she wanted to say...what -did- she want to say again? Her ears flattened in bermused thought as she tried to think, small, literally buzzing orange question marks with tiny bee wings fluttering around her head before they popped and disapeared.
"Oh yeah!" The strange female said, confirming the voice in her head as she looked back to the little wonderous golden God, her wings tucked firmly to her sides and making her seem much smaller.
"What are you doing out here all alone, little Khuluma?"

Imagination. Wow. What a domain. To think of all that everyone could imagine, the root of ideas, the spark of thought, and here she was, the goddess. Imagine seemed such a large and important domain to have, that he was blown away by the very idea of having such a domain. Could a god be jealous of a domain? Well, he certainly was feeling a bit of envy, and he watched her with sparkling eyes and a widening smile. In awe, he almost didn’t hear her name, and nodded. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Buni.” Khuluma liked formalities more. Treating someone by their domain was like calling someone by their hobby or what purpose they served and took away from the person. He liked his name, even though he had no idea who or what gave it to him, and didn’t want to be called Rhetoric for the rest of his life.
Buni was a very animated person, and he watched her move about in a very entertaining fashion. Her ears back, he tilted his own head, wondering what she was thinking. He wished people spoke more about what was inside their heads. From what he could tell, she seemed to be thinking hard about something, and suddenly he saw little bee-shaped marks flying around. Surprised, he reared up, ears high atop his head, before he watched the little figures pop out of existence. Was this her power? Could she create whatever she felt? AMAZING!
When she asked him the question, he was still dazed, keeping his eyes above Buni’s head in hopes of seeing more. Where did they come from and where did they go? Shaking his head, he looked back to her. “I’m traveling. I’m on my say looking for other gods and goddesses. That’s why I’m happy I saw you. As for why I’m alone, I just am. I’ve always been alone, unless I meet someone. No one else was with me when I appeared at the God Haven, and no one I have met has seemed to be a member of my family. I talked to a god. Limbuko, the god of pleasure, and he said some gods don’t have families. I think that’s my case, but I’m not letting that stop me from finding others like me on my own.” His eyes traveled to her head again, but he thought it might be rude to expect more, and went back to anchoring his eyes to look at Buni. Being distracted wasn’t good for talking, and he knew that.
“Why are you alone, Buni? ”

Buni was completely unaware of the amazement she caused in the little Godling and simply took the pleasure in listening to him, her bright eyes watching him with the same innocent curiousity as her ears perked forward and raised her paws to leisurely rest on both her cheeks. Little Khuluma already intrigued her so much...she still had no idea -what- Rhetoric was but he was a lovely little male and probably brimming with cubbish imaginings.
The thought made her smile brightly.
As she listened to him she leisurely let her tail flick back and forth up in the air behind her, examining him as he spoke. He was a nice color, even in the blackness of the night she could make up the golden hue of his fur and as her tail flickered she focused on the color, small sparks of light shooting from her tail about the same hue as he was before they melted to the ether and from existence.
This went on for every flick of her tail before it paused.
Family?
She pondered briefly, a brow arched as she sat up on her paws.
She recognised the word...she had family...one family, somewhere, Insanity wasn't it? A pout came to her at her hypocritical mind, calling someone by domain, how silly of her, but she really couldn't remember the name of Insanity...it had been so long.
After a moment she looked back to the Godling as she heard his question, lowering her head slightly as she peered at him as if she'd wondered how he got there in the first place and then smiled.
"Buni is alone...because Buni can't remember the name of her sister." No hint of sadness of melancholy was in her voice, just a sense of confusion. "And because the God of Awesome has gone away..."

Again, Khuluma was mesmerized by her tail, now seeing that this was probably what had caused the sparkling light from before. He also noticed it was a darker blue color than the rest of Buni, before it busted into starlight. He wondered if Buni had the power to create stars, and felt saddened to see the little bits of sparkle die away like extinguished fireflies before being wrapped up in seeing more. As the tail swayed, his eyes moved and he found it hard to keep his focus. Luckily, Buni was not talking at the moment, so he took the luxury in watching her tail instead.
Back and forth, dazzling colors. Buni sure was an animated goddess, from the way she moved and seemed to fidget about, her wide, merry expressions, to the little stars and symbols she could create. He wondered if this was her power, and if so, how she figured it out. What else could she create and was she conscious she was doing it?
When Buni spoke, he shot his eyes back up to her, blinking some of the stars from his eyes. “Ah, that is a sad thought. You should met her and find out. I know if I had a sister, I would look for her. Family seems like a nice idea.” family felt permanent that not knowing a sister’s name when you knew you had one sounded sad. Buni however didn’t seem all that troubled by it, and was still very happy. Hearing there was a God of Awesome made him very interested. “God of Awesome?” God of Awesome? A God who caused awe? That must have been some god. “Are you related to the God of Awesome. From what I see, you are pretty amazing.” There was no denying that he was in awe at many of things that Buni was showing him. He could see Buni being born from a God of Awe. “Gone away? That sounds sad. But….Gods are immortal?” He didn’t get it. How did a God of Awe die?

Death? That was a sad subject, she didn't get how it had come to that? She furrowed her brows in ever so slight confusion as she sat there before tilted her head forward as she peered at the little Godling curiously.
Did Kazi' die? Her 'God of Awesome'?
A small smile came to her muzzle and she shook her head.
"No, no, not go away forever," She started with a soft, bright tone. "He just hasn't visited me in a while...Buni misses Kazi a lot."
She briefly stared out over the dark horizon, it had really really gotten dark hadn't it? With a brief yawn she closed her eyes and small, sleepy 'z's, literal letter z's floated from her eyes with a soft, pale blue color before seeping into the ground and she looked to the Godling.
Didn't he need sleep?
Such a tiny cub.
With a movement she circled him briefly before laying her huge, cornflower blue form next to his tiny golden being and sheltered him with one of her huge wings. Briefly she pondered why she had such large wings, but the thought passed.
Now onto immortality...hmm...were Gods immortal? She raised a paw to her chin and briefly arched a brow in thought which was quite humorous with Buni's animated features before she looked back to him.
"God's can...be hurt...I think..." She thought very loudly. "But if they're not hurt, they live very, very long!"
As usual, the bright smile was still there and she stretched out her paws lazily before tilting her head up to stare at the sparklies with big, wide eyes.
"...The sparklies are lovely tonight..."

Being relatively new and also traveling alone, he had no traveling companions and very few interactions between gods aside from talking. He liked talking, but very few actually touched him. The only experience he had was a gentle nuzzle from Koya, the goddess of the past, which he still tenderly held dear. When Buni moved to settle herself next to him, he instantly thought of the goddess Koya, and how soft and warm she had been when she pushed him with her muzzle. It had been such a brief touch, that having Buni settle herself next to him was something he was surprised by, but he remained still. Looking up at her, he noticed how much larger she was to him, how soft her pelt was as it brushed against his, and moved in and out with each breath. Funny that gods needed to breath at all, considering they were immortal, but he was happy for it. Breathing, he could take in her scent, warm, spiced, but different than the male gods he encountered, and her large wingspan casted a deeper shadow over him that was not scarly like those farther off had been. This was a soft, protective darkness that made him think of the soft comfort of sleep or being in a secure, closed space like a comforting den. Breathing deep, he gave a wide yawn, noticing how tired he now was beside her, and he moved a selfish and hopefully unnoticed few inches closer to her. He never noticed how exhausted he got when he talked with someone and if he could keep a conversation going, could go on for days while ignoring his needs. Right now, those seemed less important, and he would try and keep himself awake just to talk a little bit longer with the goddess. He knew that meetings like these were so few and far between, and that it could be over too soon.
Smiling, he almost forgot about the grim topic that was brought up, but Buni didn’t seem disturbed by it at all. It was good that Kazi, who was apparently the God of Awesome’s name, was not dead but just not around. He wanted to ask why he wasn’t here, but knew it was impolite and Buni was already moving on to another topic.
He knew gods could get hurt. His flying lessons had been rough on him, and he got a few bumps and bruises from the ordeal, but he didn’t think that if he got hurt too badly, he could pass on. By the way she phrased it, he wondered if he got hurt too much, if he would just take a long time to recover or never recover at all. The “I think” told him that Buni wasn’t sure either, so he didn’t press the matter.
Whether it was because the topic was actually depressing Buni or because there was just better things to talk about, they were back to talking about the stars. Khuluma was too tired to keep pushing for more information on whether or not gods could die, how hurt one had to be, or asking her if Buni had any children (Buni felt motherly to him, much like Koya had). Looking up with heavy eyelids, he smiled. “Yes. They are pretty. They’re so simple, but I could watch them all day. I like how they sparkle and seem to move. They make the night less dark. I like that.” Khuluma sometimes found it scary at night when he was sleeping alone. The godling set his head upon his paws as he kept his eyes up at the stars, before giving another yawn. “You’re very warm. ” he admitted with a small smile. “I like that. Hmm…it’s much nicer to watch the stars with someone else. Isn’t it?”

At the sight of how tired the younger Godling was, something sparked deep in the large Godess' chest, something almost...maternal? Possibly? No it was milder then that.
It was more like the sense an older sister would have for her baby brother, that sense of protection and she slowly drew her wing to curl it as best she could around the cubling, as though she was tucking him in.
He was a very sweet little thing.
"It is." She said answering his words as she allowed him to draw as close as he liked.
The comfort of the growing warmth in the ever escalating cold of the night was very nice and it allowed the huge female to let out a soft, delighted murr as she lay there and grew steadily more comfy.
As her comfort grew, soft, gentle blew sparkles leisurely floated from the tuft of hair as she lay her chin gently upon her paws and took to watching him with her rainbow colored eyes which now softly glowed in the darkness.
Her smile directed just for this little one.
"Khuluma is sleepy?" She asked in a soft tone as her ever curious eyes gazed at the little wonder now tucked up delicately in her large wing.

His eyes were up at the sky, watching stars twinkle, before he let his eyes slide down lazily to see Buni staring back at him with a soft smile. He smiled back, wondering why she was smiling when she was only looking at him. At the mention of if he was tired, he slowly shook his head. “No. I’m not sleepy yet. I can stay up with you. And he cut his sentence short to close his mouth and let another yawn pass. He wanted to stay up with Buni, and talk all night, but he also too immense pleasure in how warm she was and how comfortable her wing was against him. Right now, he felt safe in saying that this was the most comfortable place in the world, and he moved a step closer to falling asleep, and his eyelids grew heavier.
