The show did not take long to start and expectantly Öde looked to the glimmering surface of the mirror. As sparks leapt into life his breath hitched and his body craned forward, looking, searching for something that would not come. Images swirled among the miniature lightning, a fine display all its own, but then it died and fell quiet, godless, the boy could not help but feel the hard rock of disappointment settle inside his gut. The sensation seemed to permeate all of them, adrift on the static charged air, so volatile it turned stale with the lack of anything significant.

Well, maybe not anything. Öde certainly found it rather interesting that their supposed god-speaker hadn't been able to summon the deity. Perhaps he was not such the favored one after all? This gave Öde a renewed sense of hope, and he smiled slyly to himself, tucking his head to help hide it. Good news for him after all, perhaps.

Then of course there were the images that were portrayed, a senseless display of magic to Öde. Triumph, bloodshed, discovery - that was a daily occurrence. What mystical knowledge was that? Their Haruspex spoke up after a moment, but his interpretation did little more to uncover the veil, suggesting to Öde that the priest had not gleaned anything special from the experience.

Of course Öde had never participated in an event like this before. He was not privy to the knowledge that the gods did not always appear, or that their messages were often encoded. After all his god had come, his god had spoken directly to him. So all he saw in this was Ashamin's failure, and it pleased him in as much as it disappointed him. He had wanted to be in the presence of the immortal lightning, the father of time and the creator of their icy castle. Not today though, not today.

Deimos spoke next, as stoic as ever, but certainly perturbed by the dismal display before him. His words were as strong as a leader's should be, but hollow without the wisdom of his godly court. They seemed dismissive, and with that Öde flicked his tail, preparing to leave.
