The GOD of the EARTH

ashes to ashes

The earth rumbled, though not quite so volcanically as it might have done. The God was aware of the injuries present on not only the monochromatic beast who was using his gift to call to him, but also the souls bonded to him. Pain was a teacher that the Earth God approved of and knew well, yet he would not cause further harm to those who sought him out. And so, as the rocks gently parted, seemingly growing the gargantuan deity from their stony crevices, the wake was kept to a minimum. There were no tremors racing outwards from where the earth yielded his body, nor any dust that rose into the atmosphere that could tax the lungs of those assembled.

The God's verdant gaze fell gently upon the white lily. It made him smile to see it placed there. With an appreciative smile, the blossom melded into the stone, creating an outline of where it had been, etched into the rocky monument. "Volterra." His voice was a gentle rumble as his gaze settled upon the gladiator. He had not expected to see Volterra so soon, for his quest had not been completed yet. He didn't mind of course, for it was rare that he had the opportunity to merely mingle with those who inhabited Helovia, rather than merely serving as a means to some end that they desired.

"You seem.." The God's voice trailed off as his stare roamed over the healing body, the dropped head, the submissive stance of the man before him. "...unwell." He concluded after a moment, resisting the temptation to merely peer into Volterra's mind and see all that was there and learn of what ailed him. But such things would likely come to light in the course of this conversation. Meddling was a vice often used by his sister. He would not fall victim to that temptation, not when he had been sought out in good faith.
