Valspan was about to respond to the feline's very inquisitive questions when something quite different emerged from a short distance away. His eyes locked onto it and his whole body went stiff as the power and sheer spiritual interference rolling off that 'thing' walking towards him made him shudder. He'd only felt a pressence like this once, when he'd first emerged from the Goada Tree. This thing...it was as vastly powerful as his own creator, maybe more so. He could tell without looking that this creature wasn't as neutrally inclined as the Goada Tree, shades of darkness dying the very air around it. It was evil in the extreme, at least to his dark eyes, seeing it's very essence poisoning the air around it. He relaxed a little when he sniffed out it's base intent though, smacking of lust and seduction. A succubus? No, something much more ancient and dangerous, but close. Had it been a more chaotic or destructive creautre, he'd probably be dead, but it seemed reasonably docile to be traveling with this group. Very strange, very strange indeed! He wondered how it tasted...ah, but he couldn't bring himself to even try to approach it, the stench of the succubus' honey sweet promise of death death and souls eternally confined within it keeping him back even as his own presence warded off spirits.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">(Spectra is a little on the MASSIVE spiritual side, at least I would assume from my other interactions with her, so a creature that can interact with both would see her in a much clearer way than most, I would imagine. Since Valspan isn't exactly a 'good' spirit, I wouldn't say he takes offense to her presence, but her sheer MASS of spiritual energy would probably make him feel like he's getting too close to a whale that might roll on top of him.)</div></div></div><br/><br/>"Marvelous! Such an interesting day this is! Someone who says I sent them to the spirit world, a mechanical being shaped like a woman, a whole plethera of different specimens' to taste and even some kind of Godling-no-demi-god? Mega demon? Alas, I've never met any so I have nothing to compare you to great one." He bent, bowing in reverence for the creature of immense power approaching with a curious eye.<br/><br/>His 'forward' eyes focused on Sin, "Sorry for the wait! My quest has no end my dear! That is the marvelous thing about my heroic en devour. I will search the world and classify everything I can find so that all Goada will be enriched with my knowledge. As for what I would do, that's an interesting question. I suppose anything, since I can't currently think of what I wouldn't do to taste as many specimen's as possible. I suppose I wouldn't attack another Goada, or let anyone into our home, but those aren't really an option since both of those things are so very far away."<br/><br/>(Description: Valspan is a two meter/six foot tall and meter/three foot thick log. His skin is flat and darker brown, almost black, and very rough like bark. From the bottom of his 'trunk' is six thick tendrils he refers to as his 'roots' which each branch into two more tendrils about halfway down. They're lighter skinned. Near the top, on either 'side' of his body, are two clumps of vines growing where his 'shoulders' would be, each vines moving about independently. The vines are green and velvety smooth and of varying length, but most are several meters. On both his front AND back are a pair of round black, glass-like eyes, which have no eyelids. They shift slightly in different directions so one can actually tell where he's looking. The pairs don't always look the same way, but they tend to. Finally at the top of the 'trunk' is a four sectioned mouth, his entire body being a stomach on the inside. The 'petals' that make up his jaws roll back when he's eating, and roll closed when he isn't, flapping about when he talks.)
