Ella frowned and sat down against the wall. She bit her pinky to keep herself clam.
Cecilia jumped awake from a nightmare. She meowed with a said tone as she went back to laying down.
Myia rolled her eyes and got back up. She left with a quick movement.

"Yeah, no," Ophiuchus said flatly. "I'm surprised you still know who you are anymore." He shivered slightly as the man laughed. Honestly, the people of this era lack subtlety, he thought morosely. "And unfortunately, as much as it bores me, it's stated specifically in a contract that I'm obliged to serve the higher powers in assisting them in keeping the order of power in the universe in check," the Serpent recited. "And unless things turn around soon, you'll have disrupted the flow of power, and I'll have to butt in."
((Ophi is one of those people that loves the perks of his job, but not the actual job.))

"Subtlety? Subtlety!? You know nothing of what I've gone through. I came to be just as our dim little species evolved. And what do you know of the flow of power? Serpent, I am power. I am the Cronos of this day and age. I am the fear that inspired every legend, every scary story, every myth. I've waited just under a million years for this day, and NO ONE shall take this from me."

The Serpents only response was to blink in surprise, before crossing his arms and looking up at the man. "Oh?" he countered. "Our dim little species? You've already knocked yourself down a few bars just by saying that. And quite honestly, in my few experiences, one sentient being holding so much power tends to lead to revolution." Ophiuchus grinned cockily at the man. Like he was going to back down from a fight this big. "And I can't believe it took you a million years, that's rather slow. What ever you plan to do had better be worth the effort." Ah, whoops, there went his big mouth again. Already doomed, might as well hurry it up. "Well, as long as you don't screw up the universe, I suppose you aren't important enough for me to care."
((Is there a way to get a feed for this thread, so that I get notified whenever there's a response?))

"Loathsome cold-blooded snake, try several hundred years. Although I have been living for nigh upon a million years, my intellect did not spark for some time. But when it did, oh were there changes. I am the inventor of agriculture, civilization, legality, royalty, warfare. I am the source behind everything we humans take for granted. I was every single pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, well except for Cleopatra, but in her case I needed a patsy to take my place as I knocked the Empire's legs out from under her. I was the spreader of the Black Death, I was William Wallace, Genghis Khan, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ivan the Great, Peter the Great and even Ivan the Terrible. I was Rasputin, I was Ho Chi Minh. I was George Washington and I was Napoleon. You name the historical figure, and either they were my puppet, or it was me myself. I am the great equalizer, I have kept this world in check for countless millenia and once again something must be done. You have no chance Serpent, turn back now. Or better yet, join me as your descendant did."

Although the first and the last comment sparked anger in Ophiuchus, he knew the man had a point. he calmly regarded the people around around him, and though about the people he had met in the few weeks. "Well, it would depend," he said seriously. "There are historical figured who have worked for the good of people, and those who's purpose was to gain power. While the intentions might have good..... Never mind. Morally gray area." He waved his hand, as though to shoo the statement away. "What matters is what you're going to do NOW. Unfortunately, some of your lovely speech fell on deaf ears, seeing as how the last ten centuries never happened to me. So please enlighten me, who's going down and how hard, and I'll consider your offer."

ike, koy and kai had seance moved out of the way of the god. "this is what were up against? how the hell do we beat that?" kai said looking straight up at the god as it burned brightly turning the sky and scenery red.
Ike had been observing the fiery god. "this thing is pretty huge ... well might be out of your god killing capability's kai." he scratched his head thinking. "you know what I have no idea."
koy stood behind the two. "I don't think a bucket of water is going to work on this guy." she frowned think of ways to try to stop the god as well. "im completely stumped."

"North America, eh, that is to say the land far to the west of here, across the ocean, is gone. The United States' incessant greed and inhumanity saw to that. As for Europe, much of it will be spared, as will Africa. Mainland Asia shall be burned, as will much of Japan. All other places will either succumb to flooding, or rebirth the human race as what it once was."

((That's a lot of messages.))
((From now on, I say we use Esmerelda as a gag character, the one ALWAYS get killed, but somehow manages to come back to life? Maybe her power is immortality or something. It'd be hilarious.))

Ophiuchus thoughtfully processed the statement, turning it over several times before speaking again. "No."
"First off, in your cleansing ritual, you washed away more than just dirt, metaphorically speaking. Secondly, where you have spared people, more pockets of sin will spring up." Ophiuchus frowned. "It's not that I don't agree with you," he said, "But that your methods are much too abrasive. Overkill, to be blunt." Ophiuchus, despite the fact that his existence was probably in danger, couldn't help but to pick at the plan, whether it was already executed or not.
"You are going to stand here and tell me that you did not find one person worthy of being spared in the areas you destroyed? That there is not one man in the global south who has not succumbed to greed and sloth? I know I'm a hypocrite, but you're no better. Plus, you torched some of my kin, and I'm a more than a bit upset over that."

"Those that I deemed worthy have been spared. I am a God of War, but I am also a God of Creation, and I am in dire need of those few good people to bring about the return of the old ways. I shall ask one more time Serpent, and I shall put it bluntly. Join me, or burn."

"Burning, burning. Whatever happened to a good old club to the head?" the Serpent lamented, stalling for time. "Allow me to reiterate - I happen to share a similar vision, but I support a more hand-off approach. And speaking of old ways, what makes them so great anyways? I guess I'm going to get burned then, because as surely as I'm standing here mouthing off to you, I disagree with your methods. So ******** you, and have a nice day!" With that parting comment, Ophiuchus disappeared in a small whirlwind.

"Blasphemy!"
In a blaze of fire and rage, everything around them vanished into ash and hell. Nothing was left but the raw shape of the land, covered in a thick blanket of ash beneath a black and red sky.
Was this an illusion? It was already known that Riser was a master of head games, but how could he create something this vivid to so many powerful people?

kai, ike, and koy stood a bit back from the blazing behemoth. "you know guys I think hes mad." kai nodded not sure what else to do. "is this guy a god, or a titan of some kind? I personally can't tell"
"im not sure kai but get ready with that silver wing form again." Ike folded his wings against himself watching the god wearingly.
"Ike i have no idea how i triggered it." kai said honestly.
"WHAT! you know that's what i was counting on to win the battle?" Ike growled in frustration.
"calm down Ike im sure he will be able to use it when the time is right. you have to remember hes not like ..." she stopped herself, and looked back at the god.
