Before any of the others returned to the deck, Spectra was still being handled by Arcadia herself.<br/><br/>Inside the deity, Spectra couldn't help but shudder in delight yet again as she was surrounded and engulfed by power. After her bare form was exposed, it began to change, to expand. First just growing larger, before beginning to change entirely. Wings sprouting, claws extending from her fingertips, her eyes changing to reptilian slits with a purple hue before morphing into a massive black dragoness. This form began to expand and grow as well, in mere moments she was easily large enough to dwarf the red duchess itself. Yet still, no sign of this showed on Arcadia.<br/><br/>This dark dragon form continued to expand until it began to change, change into something completely different, dark, mysterious... to most normal mortals truly terrifying and utterly indescribable. Just a side effect of being a demon and finally allowing yourself to relax enough to take a more 'natural' form.<br/><br/>"You want ME? To finally take that step..." She repeated, considering what she'd been told. "... Recent events, have made me consider..." She muttered. The idea racing through her head, all the advantages and disadvantages, all the things she feared to lose, and the possibilities she might gain. "Lord Spectra... Mistress Spectra... Goddess of transients... Goddess of love... I think Yiggy might get a bit upset if I tried to usurp that one. Then again I have thought I might be a better fit..." She mused, considering possible ideas. "I'm afraid I might prove a disappointment. As you've no doubt noticed I don't exactly strive for great battle or conquest, unless we're talking about the conquest of a heart. Hmm... But if I DID do it... The others might become hostile, I'd have to start all over again... Or try to carve out my own place, which leads to more conflict... Rrrgh... But I would be better able to protect them..." She voiced her thoughts and concerns in her stream of thought. "It's not like I haven't felt it... I've survived a long time, gathered many souls, many lovers... It's almost like it's waiting to burst, to bloom, but that changes soo much... So many fundamental differences. How does it work...? Would I choose the path, or would it find me?" She asked.<br/><br/><br/>-------------<br/><br/>Sin would sigh at Zaleila's explanation. There really didn't seem to be any downside. But, why the Hell would she want her? Just a pain in the ass bossy pirate nobody. She already has a dutchess, the daughter of a 'god' and who knows how many others in there... Why her? "Hrrm... So, what's it like in there anyway? She told me I could have infinite seas to explore for eternity if I wanted... But there's supposed to be a whole bunch of other people in there... Is it just like some big party or, knowing her, orgy in there or... I mean, when you're not HERE... What are you doing? What's it like, in there, in her?" She asked, wondering just how Spectra actually kept her promises of keeping her lovers happy once they had fulfilled their deal.<br/><br/>----------<br/><br/>Meli's eyes went wide as Valspan said he used to be a woman... She did NOT expect that. Though, it DID perhaps explain the squealing from inside... Or she was thinking too far into it and it was just natural when being probed by a living plant thing regardless. Yeah, that was probably it.<br/><br/>"Huh, no, no it's not part of a magic spell gone wrong... If anything magic is what helped make things start going right. There's a lot of different species out there, I just happen to have the unfortunate honor of being one of the smallest ones. But, a while back, I was lucky enough to stumble across the home of a mage. For someone like me there's not much we can really do but either live in the wild as foragers and scavengers or sneak around settlements and take whatever scraps we can get. I opted for civilization, not that it seems that civilized from my perspective. Anyway, I was sneaking around this mage's home. I thought I had hit the jackpot, so many supplies and no one in sight. I had loaded up and was ready to leave when I noticed one of his compendiums open on a desk. It had beautiful illustrations and seemed so unusual... Well, I couldn't help but try one little spell since all the ingredients were already right there... It didn't EXACTLY work as it was supposed to, but that hardly mattered. The next thing I knew I was floating in air and the mage was right there. I don't know if he was watching the whole time or just caught me trying to make a potion, but after putting a good scare in me, saying he would use me to replace the supplies I was planning to take, feed me to a cat, and a bunch of other things... He finally mentioned how it was remarkable that I came so close to completing the potion. He asked me a bunch of things and, well, we had a rocky start, and a rocky middle, and you get the idea. But he sensed I had talent, so he let me train and practice, even gave me my scepter. But, you know, they're more a solitary bunch... Eventually it was time to leave to learn my own methods. I think, maybe he could stand me a bit easier than others BECAUSE I'm so small. Any time he got frustrated, or whatever, he knew it wouldn't be too hard to put a scare in the little mouse girl. Of course, problem is even though I've GOT magic now, still don't quite demand respect at first glance like a traditional sorcerer or sorceress." She said, sharing some information about herself as well. "I do know quite a bit though. Bet you guys are should be happy to have a magic user in your group now." She said, not even realizing Wiska was as well. After all, she'd yet to actually see the catfish demonstrate any magical skills or affinity.
