 After having learned from being banished and scolded about 'how to properly approach a gods territory' Antarmur'ss chose to send a small wisp of a shadow to the edge of the claimed domain of Chiyoko. The wisp was barely larger then a washcloth, thin and relatively translucent as it wiggled across the ground like a serpent. As he kept it close to any shadows cast on the ground, it took a while before he located a place suitable enough for him to call out from. "Goddess Chiyoko. I, Antartmur'ss, request the honor to speak with you dear lady." His voice murmured out from the wisp before he made it rear up and stand as tall as he could manage at this time.

Chiyoko idly sat in her temple, creating simple illusions to occupy her time. With such little followers, there was not much to do. Sensing something though, her ears flicked as she dispelled her current illusion. Soon enough, she heard the voice coming from outside. Antarmur'ss? She thought questioningly, never hearing of such a name. Curious, she stood and exited the honden she was in. Looking around, she soon spotted the little wisp. Slowly, she headed toward it. Surely this wasn't the Antarmurr's that was spoken of. "His request is granted, but is such an odd creature needed. I do welcome company despite my remote location. So please, grace me with your presence." She told the little wisp, her tails swaying softly

Antarmur'ss watched as Chiyoko came out from the curious dwelling and approached his little manifestation. Her question about whether his little wisp was needed caused the Darkness god to frown where he lingered in his sanctuary. Not in insult. Oh no, but in frustration. Were he stronger his little sending would have been...well... a bit more impressive then this pathetic squiggle of shadow. The wisp faded shortly after the permission was granted to him to come himself. In it's place, a vine like tendril sprouted up in it's place. Curing and winding up and over until it formed a archway that resembled a morning glory vine, sans the actual flute shaped flowers. The space within the archway shimmered with a murky mist. From within, Antarmur'ss stepped forwards. He lingered within the general area in front of the archway, then performed a slight bow to Chiyoko. "Lady Kitsune I believe it is? You must forgive me if I do not know much more about you. You seem to be quite the elusive Goddess to catch glimpses of." He spoke with a small smile touching his lips. Standing up, he glanced at the honden, then back to the foxy female. "I hope I have not called upon you at a inconvenient time?"

If she had offended him, it was not her means. She had just meant that sending a messenger her way wasn't a requirement to come see her. When the wisp faded, she just watched silently, placing a finger lightly on her chin as soon a tendril sprouted and grew in front of her. She studied it's behavior and movement, finding it quite nice and it made her wonder if she would be able to recreate it in her illusions. Soon enough, a gate of some kind formed from the 'plant' that had sprouted, ears flicking at the shimmering mist. Her bright blue eyes watched as the dark figure emerged from the mist and soon bowed to her, in which she bowed her head in return. "Lady Chiyoko will do, Lord... Antarmurr's was it?" She asked gently. "No need to apologize. As you have said, I have been scarce, being new to these lands. When I am more acquainted, I will venture out more." She explained softly, noticing his gaze shift, but said nothing of it. Shaking her head, "no inconvenience at all. Please, what brings you to me temple?"

"Lady Chiyoko it shall be then." He quietly replied with her correction. He lifted a hand to cup his chin and placed a finger along his jawline. He needed a moment to consider exactly what he was going to ask this woman. Yet with how weary he was he doubted he had the skill to be subtle and manipulative. So he merely shrugged his shoulders slightly. "The truth of the matter is, Lady Chiyoko, is that I am under siege. My followers are in danger of losing their homes,a nd I am seeking any aid I may come by to help save them. I would rather be visiting you to ask about getting a drink and simply learning about each other. This is hardly the first impression I wish to make upon you."

She smiled softly at the correction and nodded. He seemed to be pondering something and tilted her head slightly. Her tails flicked as she listened intently to his request of aid. It was quite the dilemma for, both, him and herself. After he finished, she remained silent for some time in thought. Finally, she let out a regretful sigh. "I am truly sorry to hear of your trouble Lord Antarmur, it is unfortunate. As much as I would like to give aid to a fellow deity, I have so few followers, I do not wish to put them in harms way. Gomen nasai." She bows deeply to him, before adding, "but while I may not show my presence in the battlefield, I am still willing to lend some help. If things do become so dire that you and your followers have to leave your land, you are free to recede to my temple for a... temporary reprieve. I can provide my illusions to hide your presence, but due to your power and your many followers, it will not last long. I regret I cannot do more, but I do hope that it is enough."

The Darkness god lifted his hand and he made a small gesture towards Chiyoko as she would finish making her offer of sanctuary for his followers. "Your generosity is not unappreciated Chiyoko, so I hope you will not take my declining as the act of a affronted man." Lowering his hand he looked at the kitsune goddess with a rather somber expression. "Your desire to protect your followers by inaction will not serve you at all Lady Chiyoko. This war will come to you once it is done with me. Oh, there may be one or another who are targeted first, but do not doubt this fact. Should our home fall, I already have preparations made to see to my followers safety and protections. What I am merely attempting to do is stop this wave before it wash's over my domain and over into the rest....in addition to trying to preserve the homes of my followers." Antarmur'ss shook his head slightly and stepped back towards the archway he had erected. "Even if I were not prepared, I would not wish to tax your strength protecting us, after all...if it comes to this conclusion you will need all your strength to protect your own followers. Weakening yourself to protect mine would hardly make sense."

Chiyoko listened to his words, especially as he mentioned that if it goes through him, it could be hers soon. The goddess nodded her head at this. "I am well aware, but perhaps by that time, my number will have grown. So, for now, I will decline your request for help." She said, giving him a respectful, but apologetic bow. Before he left though, she added, "but, if you ever come to dire straights in this war, do not hesitate to send another request. Then, then me and my members will come to your aid. Late, hai... but as the term I have heard, every little bit counts."Yousei Akki Sorry about that Akki, Chiyoko's muse died for awhile
