It was quiet. It was always quiet when he walked through a place. His footfalls and the ragged breaths he occasionally remembered to take the only sounds in the deathly silence. The bone thin god very rarely went to the gods lands, his place was on mortal soil. His place was here, on this land where starvation had ruined the landscape and left it barren, dry, void of life. There was no one to help or hurt here. There was nothing except the sound of his paws and the ocasional rattleof his breath when he remembered to take one and one other thing, the endless flap of wide wings.
The bone thin god knew the vulture was above him and he didn't mind. the creature had joined him not too long ago, it was a strange thing having a companion, even one that mainly followed him in the hope of getting something to eat. There was nothing today, just the sound of silence. Sitting slowly he took a breath breaking the quiet with a slow, bone rattling breath and his voice. "Come down, there is nothing."
The vulture circled a few more times before folding its jet black ragged wings and plummetting to the ground. It hopped across the ground and eyed the deathly thin predator. "why come here?" the bird squarked hopping around its deadly beak pulling at the nothing of the land, digging up some long forgotten scrap of bone. "Nothing here Jaddis, why come?"
The god said nothing spreading his wings he slowly crumpled to the ground as if he were resting, his breathing stopped, in a shattering deathly breath, his lips, long sewn shut turned in a smile and a chuckle whispered from his hollow chest "Because this is a famine, this is the place where many died." his voice echoed those stone dead eyes seemingly vacant, the voice sounding from the corpse looking god despite his mouth clearly not moving. "It is a place to listen, a place of silence, of famine. a place of me." The sickly looking god took a breath and lay still as if he had died where he lay allowing the silence of the place to reform.

Sprawled across an elevated rock, Kali laid on her side, slowly dragging an extended claw across its surface. Her bone scythe lay beside her, and she stared at it longingly. She was bored, yes, but there was a rare empty feeling that lingered in her. Was her life of solitude finally chipping away at her? Or had she just not lived up to her domain as much as of late? Either way, Kali had considered finding a partner in crime in recent months; she had seen how mortals seemed to enjoy company, and even some of her fellow immortals seemed to have taken on a mortal companion.
If she thought about it, there really didn't seem to be anything enticing about being tethered to a mortal - they're needy, and they die in the end. Though, they possibly served as an outlet so immortals didn't have to have so many inner dialogues.
If it was up to her, though, Kali would far prefer finding another God or Goddess that enjoyed some of the same things that she did - flying around the mortal realm, harassing mortals and wreaking havoc. Unfortunately, she hadn't come across anyone yet that seemed to fit that bill, and the other Gods or Goddesses she had come across, she possibly didn't make the best impression on.
Ears twitching at the sound of something incoming, Kali's purple eyes slid up, squinting as they crossed the sun. She saw a small shape, listing back and forth in the air - a bird, she knew. Having been in solitude for a few days now, the prospect of another living creature lit a small spark within the Goddess, causing her to roll over and slowly come to her feet. Extending her wings, she jumped down from her perch, gliding just above the ground towards where the bird circled.

As she approached, she could tell that she'd gained the bird's attention; but, even puffed out, Kali feared no mortal bird. The thought that it might not be a mortal bird briefly crossed her mind - an unfortunate encounter with the God of Thunder had caused that. But, the probability of something like that happening again were slim, at best.
Eyeing the ground, Kali's wings shifted dramatically as something rose from the ground. It looked dead, but obviously wasn't. Was the bird waiting for it to die? Her flight path was now altered, and she began a large circle around the bird and prey in question rather than heading directly towards it. The Goddess was confused, and didn't want to rush into a situation she didn't entirely understand. As her eyes traced the figure, though, she began to understand. Though they didn't look like most, those were wings sprouting from its back.
Her circle lowered, and she finally touched ground in front of him. His eyes were unnerving, but Kali wasn't the type to be shaken easily. She dipped her head slightly in recognition, sifting through the different Gods she thought he could be. "Jaddis, my name is Kali." She grinned, showing some of her teeth. "And what can I say? I've always been drawn to unusual things." Her eyes briefly touched on the bird, squinting as if distrustful. As she spoke, her eyes searched him, looking over the sunken parts of his body.

A small spark flashed in those stone gray eyes, he certainly hadn't been so amused in a long time. She was young, youth brought with it fun and excitement, the joys of the world. He'd been young once, it was a long time ago a barely whispered memory.
"I only come to ease the passing." His dark eyes moved with life, he had always lived for his domain, that was the world he had always lived in, the thought that he could abandon those who needed him, he knew he couldn't still, as he had said, the world would keep turning even if he wasn't in it. "I can't see those who are weak suffer, that would be cruel of me a waste of the gift I have been given. Mortals have such short lives they should be allowed to live them and if I can help with that I will." He paused for a moment "So yes, I suppose I will allow the fates to keep moving me until my time is up."
"And what do you do with your extended life young one? What makes you smile, what pulls you around in this life?" He tilted his head a movement that caused the bones in his shoulders to crack and creak.

"You are a much more benevolent God than I." Kali wrinkled her nose at the thought. She wasn't really upset or anything - she wouldn't change how she interacted with mortals for anything - it was just a fact at this point.
"You know, sometimes I wonder if our predecessors did this on purpose - you know? Like, do you think they just got tired of it all and finally gave up, shoving it off on a new generation?" She glanced at him, giving a sympathetic smile. It was probably that thought that had originally led her to believe that it wasn't worth it to just 'do what she was told' or follow some unwritten rules.
"I like to spend my time enjoying myself - and seeing everything there is to see!" The Goddess bounced up on her paws from her seated position thinking about it. "Most mortals aren't worth much of my time, but I will admit, they do have some...enchanting qualities." Her head slightly tilted, letting her braid sway back and forth. "I am a fan of seeing their passion - loyalty, love!" She paused, worrying that she was getting too far ahead of herself. She was still a young and chaotic immortal, but she did still have a hidden romantic. And because she'd never experienced so many things that mortals do - having a loving family, a cause to die for, falling in love - she found those aspects all the more alluring.
"I guess my dust hasn't quite settled yet." Her purple eyes returned to the older God, poking fun at him lightly.

The elderly god watched as she pranced, expressing her joy, the way she saw the world. He supposed her domain allowed her to play with mortals, to see them in odd predicaments, after all disaster could mean anything. Big or small he was certain she wasnt malevolent, just, fun loving. He wished for a moment that he could join her, he knew technically he could,his appearance after all only reflected his domain, he could fly without membranes in his wings he could run even though the muscles over his bones were withered, he could see though his eyes were blind and he could speak even though his lips were sewn shut.
When she mentioned predecessors he laughed quietly "I wouldn't know, though I have met others who were re-born. New generations, they decide how they wish to interpret what they are. It's not for me to play the teacher." He nods a slow creaking nod.
"Have fun while you are young, learn, laugh, love, all of these things are beautiful experiences, they are not limited to mortals though I would throw caution to the wind in regards to love. I have seen many an immortal, leave, because of heartbreak."

"You know what? I will." Kali grinned, giving a slight wink. Some would say she had a little too much fun, but that was all apart of life, wasn't it? Especially out here. Maybe she learned the trait from being around mortals for so much of the time - they had to enjoy themselves while they could, since their lives were so fragile and fleeting.
"It is kind of a twisted fascination, though, with love I mean." Her smile shrunk slightly, knowing that what he said had truth to it. "Everyone wants to experience love, but with love almost always comes that pain. Who knows if I'll experience it one day, too." Her head dipped a bit; the idea seemed so foreign, there's no way she could even consider the idea at this point. Infatuation, maybe, but full-on love? That was a commitment she didn't think she could make for some time.
