In the footsteps of a God

JP with Omni and Winteroak

Great Desert of Skulls

The air grew hotter as god and faithful walked away from the river into the burning sands of the Desert of Skulls.

This was surreal. There, standing in the barren waste of the Great Desert of Skulls, Voah finally heard one of the Pillars speak. His voice deep and grave like rolling thunder across the land.

Stunned, Voah lingered for a moment before doing as she was bidden. She walked a few steps behind Vastad, hardly believing that after all this time here he was, leading her on. Here she was in his presence. One of the Pillars.

She noticed his muscular frame, pounding the earth with mighty strides. Bristling with unspoken power, capable She followed like a penitent in her gods footsteps.

After a few minutes they crested a Dune. Vastad looked across the horizon.

"So this is Arcadia..."

Like a sheep in tow of Vastad's quaking steps, she continued on until he came to a stop and spoke again. She wasn't sure if it was a question that she was meant to answer or if the God was merely making a note of it to himself. She remained silent, but in her head she agreed

~Yes... part of it.~

Taking it all in for what seemed like an eternity He finally spoke, His back still turned to Voah Sahnsuur.

"Your brothers and sisters' victory on the Plains opened the way for me." He said, His voice almost booming.

"I was... Surprised that my champion was not among them..." There was no tone of accusation. Just fact.
