As Tórur tapped his fingers on the edges on his art pad, trying to get the piece to breath shallow gasps of life, he pondered his reasoning for coming here.<br/><br/>Tórur wasn't here for spiritual reasons- as far as that went, He liked to believe that his spirit was content and he was at peace with his current status. That didn't mean Yuanshi Tianzun, The Current Jade Emperor, would ignore a member of another religious pantheon into his society without checking why. Not that Tórur was a god, he hoped that would never be the case, but Tórur had a personal connection to the Greek Pantheon. His Mother, at least his adoptive one, was a monster in Greek Mythos- The Malicious Medusa.....at least, that was how the stories portrayed her. They claimed that Medusa hated the mortals, after she was raped by Poseidon and cursed by Athena, and could petrify the mortal races with a gaze so terrifying that it froze them to the bone.<br/><br/>If anyone asked Tórur, he'd politely tell them they were wrong.<br/><br/>For Him, Tórur only knew the kindness and love that Medusa and her family gave him- His mother liked to coil up with him to keep him warm as they slept when he was a child while she sang him to sleep, he was taught academics and combat from Euryale and Magic from Stheno, both powerful siblings of Medusa that loved to dote on him. He remembered taking care of his first Griffin when he was only eight years old with the help of his Aunt Echidna, half sister to Medusa. Along with the rest of his family, His Uncle Typhon, Cousin Scylla, Cousin Cerberus, Cousin Hydra, Cousin Orthrus, and His Brothers Pegasus and Chrysaor.  This tightly-knit family, that was before so divided, you would mistake them for a normal family, if lacking for a father figure for Tórur, but that was never an issue- His mother had enough love for that.<br/><br/>The reasoning for his travels was simple- He was not used to people. He had everything he could require at his home on Spinalonga, but he had no true connection to the outside world. He was hostile towards the Divine, he had clear enough reason to be, but he due to his upbringing with monsters, he had no true way to connect with his native species. They were complex, headache inducing, flippant, and boorish in Tórur's honest opinion. This was a race that started world war 1 over a telegram from HOW many telephone poles, which seemed to love battering and bloodying itself over for no other reason than that it could, and had this weird fascination about making weird faces and taking pictures, which for the life of him he could not understand. It was for that reason he was sent away from home-<br/><br/>He didn't connect with the Human Race. His Family wanted him to know where he came from.<br/><br/>So he traveled. Meeting the Jade Emperor was not his first encounter with the Divine- Zeus tried to marry him off to his daughter Athena, which Tórur promptly refused. He had met Bastet of the Egyptian's and Baldr of the Norse, both of whom he got along with. All in all, he had quite a few, but it was on a rare occasion that he actually got along with any of them. Hell, Bastet and Balder were almost completely on the other sides of the world! To be honest, he didn't have any issues currently with the Jade Emperor, but that was due to a lack of information and a lack of interaction more than any preference. He still wished to have nothing to do with creatures from the other worlds, they caused people nothing but trouble. He simply wished to enjoy his art and the company of pleasant creatures as he saw fit.<br/><br/>Sadly, life has a way of taking what you wish for, and completely inverting it.<br/><br/>Tórur was enjoying the silence and peace that the forest offered- The Yeti had chosen to curl up around him, likely resting and relaxing. It would probably try fishing with it's hand later, to fill it's gullet, once the berries passed through. Coinzell was merrily traipsing along it's edges of the waterfall, having a blast all on it's own, when it suddenly froze up, looking in a specific direction, and immediately flew back to it's master. It would then plant itself firmly into his necklace, charging for power, as Tórur would look down. "<b>What is the matter, Coinzell? Medusa told you only to charge yourself if you're getting ready for combat."<br/>
</b><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d"><b>"Bad, Bad, Bad! Powerful Energy Signature approaching fast!"</b></span><br/><br/>Fear- It was an emotion he barely understood, but knew that was a sign that danger was coming. Grabbing his art supplies, he relaxed the Yeti, who seemed to be looking around for this energy signature, before getting ready to construct a barrier. However, this being was too fast, so Tórur tried to use his harmonic magic to sense this signature, seeing that it was.....a fox? Heck, when he saw that it wasn't even running towards him, he was even MORE confused. What type of Fox was like this, Kitsune were native to Japan, right?! That was on the next country over! A moment later, he watched her disappear for a moment, before splashing into the Plunge Pool of the waterfall. Tórur would just lift up a finger to hold the water in it's place, before he saw the fox enveloped in light and.....morph into the shape of a human?!<br/><br/>Not only that, but a very shapely woman......<br/><br/>Was this an anime?!<br/><br/>....wait, wrong country again.<br/><br/>Crap.<br/><br/>Tórur would merely blink at the woman before.....she began undressing?! Either that or pulling really thick skin off, which was unlikely! Tórur's cheek would go pink as he just.....sat there! He was not too familiar with the opposite sex, the closest would Arachne and that was......different. Tórur would, for the sake of the woman's dignity and not wanting to be crushed by whatever magic, would clear his throat to get her attention. "<b>Uhm....Hi." </b>He said. He wasn't afraid, he couldn't feel fear, but he wasn't stupid- This woman had magical powers that could match, or even surpass, his own capabilities as a mortal. With a flick of her wrist, he could be a bloody paste on the ground for all he knew! It was best to just approach this calmly and without hostility.<br/><br/>"<b>Uhm....You don't have to worry about me seeing anything! i'm blind, heh...."</b>He said. Wow, did he really say that? Maybe his family were right- Tórur needed to interact with people more. Trying to find a way to make this situation better, he would look around, the Yeti merely shifting behind him, as he felt the<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Ffoodal.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F06%2FPicnic-Time-Newbury-Willow-Picnic-Basket.jpg&amp;hash=0628b61038ba464362d5358823d69860" href="https://foodal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Picnic-Time-Newbury-Willow-Picnic-Basket.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"> picnic baskets</a>.
