"Hmm? Serious... Though also isn't the mechanical sibling here to? If but in lesser form..." The body of TSU asked, gesturing to the mechanical beast like form they had left. The lantern TSU'd body held have a flicker of flame as Soldr said 'serious'.

'Hmmm ohhh that's her name?' TSU thought... But when and were did they ever meet? Ughhh why can't I see when and even where??

```hmm with your blessing i'm gonna ping everyone who was here maybe so they can figure out what they want to do and if/how they want to be part of the ritual.```

Soldr leaned against the pillar, eyes closed in contemplation. He was aware of Savarii's entrance, but didn't react. The death of his ally had made him a little less hotheaded for the moment. As he listened to Savarii, Soldr seemed unfazed when he opened his eyes, but nodded.

"Alright." Soldr said. "How many allies does he have?" He asked Savarii. Soldr didn't really care for his own immortality that much, but he also was feeling extremely spiteful towards Edon. As for Savarii's trustworthiness, it made perfect sense to him. She didn't want to lose her immortality. He turned to look at Rav'nixander.

"We'll need to get more people than he did, right?" Soldr asked.

The spider glances away for a few moments, making a show of her hesitation and being deep in thought as the catboy asks his question. This was it, no going back... She hoped they would keep up to the heroic yet pensive types she had taken them for who were looking to settle the score with Edon. The spider doesn't speak for a few moments, simply staring at the crystal deity for a few moments, which may have been a silence long enough to figure out the truth on one's own, yet she answers soon enough. "Because... I *Am* One of those allies..." Savarii hisses. "But please, before you cast judgement allow me to explain my actions..." The spider looks up towards the gods there with eyes that were filled with emotion, something that didn't sit quite right on the arachnid. "Edon has lured many young gods to his side. Young gods who, like I, could not stand against him..." Savarii hisses. "Some joined willingly, others... They had no choice. Many of us are young, insignificant compared to the god of fate and the power he carries. I knew I could not fight him in direct combat, so instead I hoped to watch from afar so that, should the time come, I may help the rest of my siblings in stopping him..." The goddess knew full well that the part of her siblings being tricked or forced to join Edon was likely not true, however, she hoped it spurned on her brethren a bit more into acting against the god should the knowledge that he was planning a ritual was not enough. She turns to Soldr and chatters. "Including myself, there are 4 others."

"When I was young... Well, younger than I was now, I was warned about a god who had eaten an unborn sibling..." The goddess hisses, her tone bearing both sadness and guilt. "But I had not known who was the culprit. I encountered Edon and foolishly trusted him as I did any of my siblings..." Savarii whispers, her voice a low whimper.

"I didn't know who... *What* He was and what he had done until it was too late. I was in his realm. A single, young god at the mercy of the terrible serpent and..." The spider trails off, its eyes flickering back and forth. "He forced me to join him. He made me suffer... He threatened me, my mortals... *My children!* I *Couldn't* Refuse to help him..." Savarii hisses. "He's too powerful for me. I may not die permanently but... I would have never stood against him on my own. He sought out the young and weak deities, those who couldn't stand against him. Those who couldn't be manipulated were forced to stand by his side. Should I have disobeyed, he would have struck me down and made me suffer." Savarii looks up at the three with a defiant gaze "You may call me a coward but... I couldn't allow such a thing to happen. If I was struck down, my mortals... My *Children*... *What would he have done to them?*" Savarii's voice breaks as she says that, expertly showing just enough pain and fear about what she was doing that it didn't seem overplayed. Frankly, it looked as if she was trying to hold it back. "I had to bide my time and watch from the side. He *Trusts* Me, I played my role... Now I want to make use of all that I learned."

"Please, I will help with a counter ritual but you must stop him first..." Savarii whispers, her voice was pleading. "Once the ritual goes through and he no longer has use of us, or should he realize it is being sabotaged... I... I don't know what he'll do to us. Some of our brethren were simply misguided, they don't deserve to suffer like this. If you promise mercy, I shall reveal to you to you the location of the ritual so that you may stop it." Much of what Savarii had said were lies and exaggerations, yet unverifiable by the current audience who was already on a time crunch.

*But... They were good intentioned were they not? Hoping to further spur her allies into fighting Edon and rescuing her and her siblings from his evil clutches~* The spider's mandibles quietly click with a distant hunger as she looks up at her potential saviors. "I beg of you..." She adds.

*There is a long pause as the crystal god takes in the information. A tense moment as processes unseen take note of every piece of information.*

"We have enough gods here in this hall. To subvert the ritual... If Edon wishes to sunder immortality and die forever. Then we might be able to make it only effect him. Removing him from the board and leaving you and the others threatened safe from reprisal."
