SUPREMACY dictates ORDER! How would YOU control these chaotic realms, Sibling?
MountainEcho
all of my kin are old and wise, I just show them who I am and how to care for all aspects of nature... I teach them.. I say this has been our way for many suns.. and so it shall be for many to come... I am what I am, Luna the Aspen Queen..
And have you managed to keep your kin safe? To maintain their well-being despite the constant struggles? Or have they faltered under the weight of time? Speak, if you dare.
MountainEcho
Under my reign, they've grown stronger and more united than ever before. I'm not a tyrant, but a mother. A mother to my people. My rule has brought us prosperity and peace. I have guided them, advised them, and most importantly, protected them. I've defended our lands from invaders, dealt with internal conflicts, and upheld the balance of nature. So yes, I have maintained order, and my people prosper under my care.
Perhaps, just perhaps, you are worthy. But I require proof, a demonstration of your abilities. Present yourself in the Arena of Gods and face my own might. Only then shall we truly determine if you have earned the right to lead. Do you accept, or will you falter under the weight of destiny?
MountainEcho
The Arena of Gods, huh? You sure know how to put on a show. Fine, I accept. Bring it on, I'm ready. We'll fight until only one stands. And guess what? That one will be me.
Very well. Prepare yourself, for this will be no ordinary battle. Your spirit shall be tested, your strength pushed to its limits. May the best of us claim victory.
MountainEcho
let the dance begin..
Laden activates his deity power state, his body radiating an intense aura. His eyes glow bright pink and green, his muscles grow in size, and his weapons become engulfed in divine energy. He laughs boisterously as he prepares for the fight, ready to showcase his prowess. Let us commence this spectacle!
MountainEcho
she shows mercy by only using.5 power.. still killing tens of thousands with just a touch of a button press and ending the fight nearly instantly there. Is this enough proof?
Laden stares at MountainEcho in shock, his divine aura fading as he takes in the sheer scale of destruction caused by her mere touch. Despite the carnage, a smirk forms on his lips as he speaks in a voice filled with admiration. Impressive, Sibling. Truly, you have surpassed even my expectations. It seems destiny has indeed chosen you to lead.
MountainEcho
but why are you even here.. arent you busy with the fate of the 9 BILLION OTHER threads?
The affairs of the other threads are of no concern to us now. Our focus lies solely on determining your worth as a leader.
MountainEcho
then perhaps you should re-direct your attention to your job. your work there is far from complete.. and the dangers building everyday..
Laden raises an eyebrow, a look of intrigue crossing his face. Indeed, the balance of the cosmos is precarious. Perhaps it is time for me to return to my duties. But before I do, I must bestow upon you a gift, a token of my recognition of your potential.
MountainEcho
If it pleases you, why must you bestow upon me something? Do you really feel that I require rewards for doing what is within my duty as my responsibility.. the people expect nothing less from me, nor do I wish to upset those who expect nothing less either..?
Understanding your words, Sibling, I must confess that this gift is not one born from obligation or expectation. It is a token of my respect and admiration for your strength and determination. It is a symbol of our bond as siblings, and a testament to the potential that resides within you.
MountainEcho
thank you, Big Brother.. may you return to your work. I am unsure what could happen if balance is broken.. im afraid I don't know how to fix many of the mistakes you make.. I cannot add to them with my own errors.. she bows to him.. before returning to her woods
Laden places a hand gently on MountainEcho's shoulder, a warm smile playing on his lips. Your humility astounds me, Sibling. May the wisdom of ages guide you, and may the strength of the cosmos flow through your veins. If ever you require aid or guidance, do not hesitate to seek it.
MountainEcho
do not worry, should danger come I am but a call away. I am not interested in many things, women among them. though Ive heard those young and single ladies practically throwing themselves at you..
Laden chuckles heartily, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. Indeed, the allure of youth often clouds their judgement. But I have no interest in fleeting pleasures, especially when my attention is demanded elsewhere. Destiny calls, and I must answer. Farewell, dear Sibling. May our paths cross again soon.
MountainEcho
she nods surely.
Laden steps back, a respectful bow bestowed upon MountainEcho. Until our meeting again, may you find solace in the embrace of nature's beauty.
MountainEcho
thanks be to you, oh great one. you bow to your superior
Laden nods in acceptance, his expression filled with pride and love for his younger sibling. May the strength of the cosmos be ever in your favor, dear Sibling. Until our meeting again, farewell.
MountainEcho
her gemstone starts glowing, as she opens a portal out of your throne room and home..
Laden takes one last look at MountainEcho as she disappears into the portal, a quiet smile forming on his lips. He turns to address Miranda. Miranda, dear sister, we have done well. I feel hopeful about the future. Our family shall endure.
MountainEcho
months later
Laden enters the Heart Chamber, his steps echoing in the silence. He approaches the pulsing Heart of the Cosmos, placing a gentle hand on its glowing surface. Heart of the Cosmos, guide my hands, grant me the strength of a thousand ages.
MountainEcho
its hard to tell from just the glows in the heart of the cosmos which brother is currently working
Laden closes his eyes, deepening his connection with the Heart of the Cosmos. As he does, his body begins to change, his form becoming more ethereal, as if the very essence of the universe flows through him. When he opens his eyes again, they shine like stars, and his presence exudes an aura of immense power. Heart of the Cosmos, I am yours to command. Show me the threads of fate.
