Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slash slowly approached the Love God's grounds. The atmosphere was much different than the fire and brimstone he had grown to called his home. It was almost too different, unnatural, if you will, to the Hellhound. Still he had to admit if it weren't for the concept of Love, he would have never fallen for his Goddess, and in turn never had his two sons whom he loved and cared for deeply. He had some respect for Syrridan.

"Hello? Is Lord Syrridan here? I come on behalf of my Goddess, Hexynia, to speak about the matters at hand with the Cursed." He spoke calmly yet with confidence.

Slash bowed before Syrridan as he made his appearance. "Forgive me, where are my manners? The name's Slash." He nodded before pausing. "Yes, the Cursed. Lately their Gods have appeared and I fear it will be growing troublesome. Word has it they have the ability to convert followers to their cause. Has anything like that affected you?" He knew it happened to their ally, Venezia. Quite a few carnies went missing. He didn't know what happened but when he spoke briefly to a carny here or there he got the feeling it wasn't good.

"So the Carnival God was not the only affected I see...", Slash frowned a bit as his arms crossed across his chest. "I cannot help but wonder if they are targeting certain Gods?" He questioned openly as he gazed towards Syrridan. At the time this all occurred, Syrridan was relatively new to being awakened after what Slash presumed was a long slumber. The other gods such as Venezia or Antarmurr'ss were around for much longer and had a larger following. They would be seen as threats and of course would be taken out. It puzzled him. "You seem like a peaceful God... I do not get why they would target you. Or..." It dawned on him. Well a possible answer. He unfolded his arms. "Do you think they could have been trying to bait you into the war?"

"I mean no disrespect but sometimes a warrior lies in the most passive of hearts." Slash spoke in regards to Syrridan's son. While it was surprising to hear the God of Love's son wished to fight at the same it wasn't too far-fetched. He gave a small smile before nodding his head and continued to get back on track. "I have visited the Alien God, Tyche. My Goddess wished me to tell you and any others I may cross paths with of what knowledge I was given." He paused. "It makes me feel that hiding or sitting on the sidelines is not a safe bet. The Cursed Gods as I was told were once like My Goddess and you, Lord Syrridan. Not Cursed nor shunned like a plague." The hellhound paused for a moment. "It's hard for me to even fathom still... In fact it makes my skin crawl. But something occurred and they were exiled from the plain of the Gods. They let their hatred overtake them and now seek to destroy all we love and know. While they were wronged, I fear what they are doing is much worse. Instead of trying to redeem themselves they are digging their own graves deeper. I believe.... they need to be stopped to put them out of their misery as words won't reach their ears."

"Still in the planning stages.." Slash responded with a slow nod. "We need more than one God to assist if we are to even hold some what of a chance..." He honestly at times didn't think they stood a chance. At the tail end of the recent war, the Gods were so divided it was ridiculous. Almost impossible to patch the bonds broken... if there were any to begin with. He sighed and shifted his feet a bit. "I am not going to lie to you, Lord Syrridan. What ever path we take will not be easy. For any of us. Choose to sit idly makes you a prime target to be ambushed. Choose to fight you will be out there in the fray. Choose to defend you risk just as much loss as if you fight." Rubbing the side of his face, Slash gave a faint groan. "It is a problem that will not remedy itself... But I have given you the information needed for you to better make your choices." He bowed a bit.

Slash nodded and bowed again. "Thank you for your time, Lord Syrridan. If you excuse me I should be returning to my Goddess to give her an update." He gave a small smile before heading on out to return back to the fire and brimstone he called home.
