*As Arcen returned to camp, Sakura would becon her over to her side, not worried in the least about the Nargacugas skeletal left arm, but she was prompt to address the lack of muscle as she oppened her maw and crunched her shoulder clean off, there was living meat in that, and the Love goddess promptly swallowed that up as well*, "gululp...mmmh, confused beloved? Do you remember what I told you when you were reborn?", *Sakura patted her belly*, "You can no longer die as a mortal, not truely, when you fall, your bond to me through marriage will drag you back to my womb, this bond will snap and swallow any force that tries to with hold you from me...you should have kept going my dear, you could have experienced more that way...but, you "are" fresh out of the Soul Cradle...Either way, another lesson for you arrives as we speak, check your arm again, it should be good as new."<br/><br/>*Indeed, without realizing it, Arcens arm would have regrown after Sakura bit it off*, "All Hanaryuu can regenerate but divine Hanaryuu like ourselves, can do so quite rappidly, but flame will halt this, so remember to remove burned flesh, whether caused by fire, lightning or light, we are still physical beings unlike Archa and Torarie. Thus we are tied to physical themes such as burning and poisons. I will oversee your training from here on out...if Archa hits you like that again I might rip her in half...and then this whole campaign will sink like a coin in the Gold River." *The pink goddess showed no facial sign of anger, but her voice quivered in an unsettling way when she mentioned slaying Archa, there could be no mistaking it, Sakura was keeping a mask on her emotions, a trick of those practiced in charismatic games and politics, on the inside she was probably exploding with anger, but she kept it bottled up for now.*<br/><br/>"If you wish to play with the soldiers, go ahead, I can heal any damage you might inflict, mental or physical, just dont rip out their souls, that's a different story. You'll be tempted to gobble down a few souls I'm sure, the hunger of a fresh god, to fill their inner haven, its a hard thing to suppress. On that note, ones inner heaven usually takes the form of your idea of paradise, it changes as you change, we can explore it later if you like. Maybe we can even find you some occupants"<br/><br/><br/>-=-=-=-=-=-<br/>*Archa in a word, responded to Kuuja's questions in a 'grumpy' fashion. That burst of energy was indeed suppressed by Sakura, the love goddess without moving had muffled her impact and tethered Arcen to herself through Chlorokenisis, or plant manipulation, as Arcen was plantlike in form now, she could influence the Nargacuga directly. In simple terms, sakura had pumped a huge quantity of energy into Arcen just before the impact, and when Archa struck the Nargacuga, the energy was released to slow her down...she wasn't happy about it either*, "I'll fix the mountain when I'm through with it Kuuja...", *she snapped at the Eldrich one*, "As for Arcen, we have not the time to tease her capabilities out, we must shock the newborn into maturity...can you imagine how the other deity's will react when they learn of her ascention? Assassinations, Rebellions, Havoc among the Heavens", *a grizzly monsterous grin drew up the curtain of Archas lips showing her thick white teeth and the golden glow behind them*, "its going to be a delicious age, a war banquet so to speak, and you will benefit greatly from the chaos to come." *Archa knew Kuuja was essentially a vulcher on her battlefield. He was here to benefit from the war, but she also suspected alternative agendas. He would eventually burn through his host, as such he would always be on the lookout, but there were many things an Eldrich god could be interested in. The corruption and manipulation of other gods, the opening of portals, and opertunities to indoctrinate mortals into their cults, all of these were plausible motives, but Archa was unsure of which or any he was really up to*
