Though Dominus was of a controlling, stern demeanor, Amare was kind, gentle, even encouraging to her children. The High God and Goddess looked down at their children quietly as Aquaria spoke, taking note of the changes in fate. A Massive war would fall under Praelior's domain, though tampering with fate was a serious offense, and one that Dominus would not tolerate quietly. Thus, the High God looked towards his child.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"><b>"Explain yourself, Praelior, why have you chosen to incite war among the Humans?"</b><br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000">Praelior would remove his helm and set it down, speaking up in annoyed voice. "<b>It wasn't as if I was left with much of a choice. Our food reserves this year have been...inadequate. Over the course of winter, many would starve to death, so I incited a few conflicts to have them gather the resources from the stores of other pantheons, lest we lose all of our humans to the coming winter. You can thank the weed for that." </b>Prealior said, his voice barely hiding his disdain for the younger god, though this was not uncommon- Praelior and him never saw Eye-to-Eye.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4dff4d"><b>"That is not the only issue of note regarding our youngest siblings sphere of influence." </b>Sanita spoke up, leaning on her staff as she gestured around. "<b>The herbs required to create the cures for mankind have begun to wane unprecedentedly. Without the Medicine to adequately treat the illnesses afflicting Mankind, the successful birth-rate for the winter months has dropped staggeringly."</b> Sanita said, before hearing Aquaria mention the piercing question- Where was the young God?</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d"><br/>
This did not go unnoticed by Amare, the Mother Goddess gazing among her children, before speaking up. "<b>A Good Question- Where is my son? He never this late to a meeting." </b>She said. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">Dominus raised his hands towards Tantam's throne, as if to call the God forth, which he had the right to do. However, to the shock of everyone present, the only thing that came forward was Tantam's item of authority- His <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicwandstore.com%2Fimages%2Fstaves%2FWizard_Staff_Flower_2.jpg&amp;hash=efbfebfc09f74e1a14a52c4df9f7bf16" href="http://www.magicwandstore.com/images/staves/Wizard_Staff_Flower_2.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Walking Stick</a>. Now, only a item being summoned meant one of two things, both bad in this case. One? The Young God was dead, in which case his throne would crack in half and his domain would die. Two? The God had left his domain, thus was out of reach for Dominus to control, and without his intervention to guide and angle the growth of his creation, it would begin to wither and die. As the throne had yet to crack, and no disaster of such a scale had been seen, then it was clear it was the latter scenario- Tantam had left the realm of the Feravai Pantheon.<br/>
<br/>
Dominus watched his wife pick up the cane before tightly gripping it to her chest, as silent tears began to spill- One of her children was out of their domain, Void knows where, and it wasn't unclear why- Among the Pantheon, Tantam was never really given the respect owed his position, Sanita, Versutia, Cafrac, and Prealior being chief among the instigators of an altercation and an insult. Dominus and Amare had hoped this problem would fix itself without their direct intervention, though clearly that was a mistake. While Amare reacted with sorrow, Dominus was furious. Even though Tantam was suffering, Dominus believed that Tantam had abandoned his responsibilities as one of his children, and considered the act one of pettiness and childishness. He needed to be returned home <i><b>immediately</b></i>.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"><b>"So the little weed finally took off- Good Riddance."</b><br/>
</span><br/><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"That <i>'weed',</i> dear brother, is the reason that the farmlands and herbal gardens have been doing poorly- Leave it to Tantam to screw up something this badly."<br/>
</span><br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000">"So YOU fix it, dear sister, aren't you the one in charge of Magic? Surely you can replace him."<br/>
</span><br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d"><i>"No-one is replacing my child!"</i></span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">"ENOUGH!"</span></b><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"><br/>
Dominus voice would quiet the hall, as the High God would begin to stand, before gesturing for Versutia, Cafrac, and Aquaria to step forward. He would then hand the Walking Stick to Aquaria "<b>I hoped this would not require my Intervention for this childish game to cease, but clearly you must be reminded of your positions as Gods- While I assess this damage, you three have one task- Find Tantam and Convince him to return home. I cannot command him here, as he resides outside of my influence now. Do whatever is necessary to bring him home. Your failure will mean the end us of, I<i> trust </i>you all will remember that." </b>Dominus said, before slamming down his hammer. "<b>I must now go with my wife to staunch the lands bleeding- This Meeting is dismissed."</b></span><br/><br/>~~~Island Sanctuary~~~<br/><br/>Tantam's sanctuary was a Paradise to all those he had brought to it. Tantam decided long ago, with the advisement of Laurel, to only bring those that desperately needed to be saved from the hands of cruelty, thus not overstepping his bounds with the other pantheons. Farm animals in sickening conditions, hunting or hound dogs that were repeatedly poorly by their masters, cattle that was over bred and starved, he brought them to this sanctuary in hopes that they could live in peace here. To those who chose to be granted a human form, he gave them tasks specific to their origins- His Hunting Hawks and Hounds, they served as soldiers, savagely protecting the land that granted them peace. Chickens became farmers, Cows and Bulls builders, Sheep and Rams Weavers, Bees worked in commerce, his home became the home of many who chose the simple lifestyle.<br/><br/>Best of All? Tantam had grown in strength and power over their worship of him- They called him<i>Tacere Hospes- </i>The Quiet God. He preferred it to his old name.<br/><br/>Tantam's restful sleep was disturbed by the one reminder of his old life- Laurel Thorn. Tantam had gifted her with knowledge and abilities well beyond the Mockingbird-turned-Human should have, thus her displays of magic and mysticism were seen as the blessings of the Gods. Though Tantam was the God of this Isle, He still had rules to follow, and could not directly lord over the humans, thus Laurel ruled in his stead- Queen of the Island of Thorns. The sight of the clover brought a smile to his face, as the God sat up and walked with her, holding the small plant in his hand, before placing it in his pocket. "<b>That I did- Come, let us continue with your lessons, Laurel."</b><br/><br/>She was his voice of reason, the one he went to when he felt he needed advisement. It was strange, wasn't it- A human advising a God? Void knows how his siblings would react if they heard that tidbit....<br/><br/>Tantam would approach a clearing, before holding out the seed to a blueberry bush, turning it in his hands. "<b>Though you mastered the craft of the Salmonberry Bush, the Blueberry bush is trickier- A single misstep can easily turn it into Elderberries or Blackberries, so follow my lead carefully." </b>He said, before holding up his hand as the seed began to glow.<br/><br/><i>Forget who you are,<br/>
Your Inner Strife,<br/>
There's Berries to be picked,<br/>
In this world of life.</i><br/><br/>Tantam would release the seed as it embedded itself into the ground, before the soil would glow, and a sprout began to grow, until blossoming into a bush in full bloom. It was these moments, watching the look on the face of his Disciple, that he forgot what drove him here, and enjoyed the serenity and peace that his Island sanctuary brought him. He felt at home now- nothing would take this away from him. He was here and he was here to stay.<br/><br/>Sadly, it appeared that the fates were not done trying to tamper with his life yet.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="1192" data-username="@Mercy" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/1192/">@Mercy</a>
