The God of the Earth felt the chill of winter pass through the bond he held with the mortal earth. He smiled at the change in seasons, glad that nature was able to take hold again. The great stallion bubbled up from the ground like water, taking shape into the gigantic draft. He smiled as he saw Midas and Ktulu. The pegasus was a proud and noble creature, and Ktulu had carried and protected his son dutifully. Another was among them now though, the poor, wretched creature who clung to life in death. The God of the Earth nodded to him before addressing Midas and spying on his treasures.
"You have found everything that I need to create your armor." He said, thinking about how to attach the pieces to the pegasus's form. "Remain very still, Midas. Remember that without help, you cannot remove this armor. Flight will be more difficult when you are wearing it as your wings are not fully equipped to carry more weight than your own. In a season's time, you may return so that I can tinker with the armor to make it lighter and easier to remove. However, you must bear the burden of your choices for now." With a deep breath, the God of the Earth began to shape the metal; the sound was grating, like a million nails on a chalkboard.
The pieces began to take shape. Metal plates like scales aligned themselves perfectly to Midas' body, stacking and then working into place. It was an articulated shell, adorned with beautiful, gold filigree and tied into place with large strips of leather. In a few moments, the armor was complete. With a single thought, the metal plates moved, stacking and shifting until they were simply a heavy, ornate collar around his neck. "Since you found Ktulu to aide you, you will be able to make the armor cover your body and shape into this collar with but a thought. As you notice, the weight does not change." The God smiled just a little, seeing his first battle hardened creation come to life with mixed emotions.
