Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mmmhmm, Ra. God of everything. All the other gods, and everything underneath." At least, that was how RA saw himself, and Kia was his Bennu. She had to agree. "He'll come back. He has to come back. By any means. Then we'll get him back to power, right Tiegan?"

"Yeah. Sure." Tiegan seemed to get a bored look on her face, a dull and pained look, like she'd heard this speech before. She focused on the book or tried to. She honestly thought it was a bunch of crap. He might have been a god once, but she seriously doubted it was the same this time.

"Because I was born to serve him, and he was already here waiting, but then... well, one of the other fa'e killed him off. I guess it was his fault. He tried to take a body that was already claimed..." Kia felt a bit odd admitting that. She'd only found it out while trapped in Egypt, but it made sense, and it gave her some purpose. After all, she wasn't smart, and she didn't have friends now, plus only one of her daughters was talking to her, so having a purpose was something of a relif. An obsession even. And if Ra wanted to be reborn NOW then she would make him come back. Somehow. She wasn't sure how and was starting to get desperate. Something had to work. "It was a mistake. Every fa'e was born for something. I have to bring him back."

She paused as she glanced at the book in Tiegan's hands. Kia wondered suddenly if the fa'e library had something on this. She hesitaed, just a moment though, thinking.

"I guess I'd die without forefilling my purpose..." That seemed a bit unsatisfying. Kia frowned. She really didn't like the ideas she'd already had either, which usually involved 'vacating' a body of a soul so that Ra could have it. How did you make a body though? "I'm going to look for something, I will be back."

She stood up and headed into the library on her own, quickly, distracted. Making bodies. This would take all of her reading skill.

"She thinks about it all the time." Tiegan lowered the book as she watched her mum leave, muttering lowly so that Kia couldn't hear. She wrapped her arms around her legs, resting her chin on her knees. "He's already started to gather people, how weird is that? Strangers turning up, apparently there to worship him. They always seem annoyed or sad when he isn't there yet. There's tents all over the backyard now. I know she seems... obsessed... but she wasn't always like this. About bringing him back. It's only the past year that she started to get like this... I noticed, because I'm only home on weekends."

Kia bit her lip as she tugged books out and stared at them. She hated that the ones that could help had a lot of words, and the ones that were for kids had pictures. This made things a little more difficult!

All she needed was a body, or a way to make one, so he could live. Was that so hard to find?! A body... a body... a nice body. If there were organ donars, why weren't there body donars? Should she grab one that was donated to science?

She fumbled a bit as she moved books around, dark eyes scanning it as fast as she could read it.

"It is a bit, yeah." Tie smiled the first real geninue smile of the day, as she felt a bit of relief that someone was finally seeing it the way it was. Crazy. It was crazy. It made her uncomfortable, even, and she knew they were getting up to things in that half built temple that would make a grown person blush. Something about 'tending to Ra'. "They've started to build a temple. I stay in the woods more now just to avoid it."

Tiegan left out the part about 'tending to Ra'. He was probably traumatized enough by the nakedness, he could be spared that.

Kia tugged out a book on Alchemy. Pictures. Fantastic. She smiled and went to sit in the library, saving her having to travel backward and forwards, attempting to read the words. After a few seconds she grabbd a dictonary as well.

"I don't have to! I just chose to because it's more peaceful. I have animals there. It's safe out there." Tiegan shrugged. It seemed totally natural to her to go out on her own a lot. She always had, and no one had ever really been able to stop it.

"Don't you go out on your own?"

"They're not that bad... as long as you have a warm place and food. I found this cave. It took a bit but it's all set up now." Tiegan tugged her legs against her chest again, looking back outside. She guessed she could understand. It was a bit lonely out there sometimes. But it was peaceful.

Kia came and flopped back down next to Tiegan, the book still in her hands. She was staring over it carefully. This was interesting. But difficult. She'd need Tiegan to read parts of it to her later when the other fa'e wasn't there.

"How is the pudding?" She asked, barely listening to herself, eyes lost in the diagrams.

Tiegan shrugged as well. She could outcool him. Picking up the book she pretended to be reading again, glancing from Mik to Kia for a moment. They were alike in some ways, with the wings and stuff. She hesited, suddenly reluctent to talk in front of Kia in case Kia decided to do something embarrassing, before asking carefully, "So... what can you do? I mean, as a fa'e?"

She was curious. She was human, after all, totally boring compared to what the fa'e seemed to do.

Kia was flipping through the pages as she listened, distracted. She had to go find someone who knew about this stuff. It was interesting but it was a bit much for her...
