God of the Stars
___________________

Something for his beautiful star, he needed to impress her with something or at the very least find something to help bring that dilapidated room back to its former glory. But what? Everything he happened upon seemed inferior, not suited for the ground that they trod. It was a predicament but in his brutish mind he would find something that suited their purpose. But what? Hmm...

In his wanderings that took him further and further from he and his sister's domain he found a room filled to the brim with delicious bones. What realm was this? Had the God of Death also fallen? Or was this room some sort of offering to him? The pup pondered this as he sniffed around at the bone offerings. He wondered if he should take or leave them be. Wouldn't it be grand to give his sister one of these? The God of Death came to them all eventually but for someone like he who was a God as well death would truly never come. Still, if the other god wanted compensation he would be happy to go with a trade.

"God of Death, I take but thou art welcome to come to the Place of Night and seek equal compensation." With that he picked out a rather large femur and clapsed it proudly betwixt his fangs. Yes... His Goddess would love this.

Large ears twitched as a sound caught them, four eyes opened to peer into the gloom. He focused more with his heat-seeking eyes to see what was ahead but there was only the faintest glimmer of heat accompanied with the sound of something cracking. What was that? Not one to be cowed by the unknown the male headed off with the bone still in his jaws to see what was happening.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

Amongst the darkness of this hollowly empty part of the caves, a dull looking chrysalis is wedged in between one of the various rocks that put together this specific cave's roof. The particular young one was dwelling inside this chrysalis sleeping peacefully, for in spite for what the chrysalis' dull exterior may say otherwise the young one was warm inside it & most importantly he was safe in it with the sound of his healthy heartbeat making him drift off to sleep more easily…

But in amidst of this, another sound came into fruition in the background, somewhat disturbing the rhythm of the wonderful sound of his heartbeat and stirred him awake from his slumber. The young one inside was feeling particularly annoyed of his sleep being disturbed, go the hell away... he wishes they would, but a word that was said that made him shudder somewhat violently that caused his chrysalis that he was confined in to rattle. Death? He didn't like the sound of the word at all he was unsure of its meaning, but regardless he disliked it.
Then along came another noise that drowned out all of the other sounds that caught this young one's underdeveloped ears, and took over which startled him fully awake. It was coming from inside his chrysalis, a sound of something cracking and he was sure that when he fully opened his eyes that his usually safe chrysalis is closing in on him, causing a moment of panic and using every muscle in this arsenal to attempt to push it away, but to no avail which for some unknown reason lead him to just close his eyes...

Outside in the exterior of the chrysalis shows it shuddering violently, which causes it to shift side to side in where it is wedged in, as it is about to escape loose of the clutches of the rocks it is stuck in between. The sound of the cracking can be heard even from the exterior, which some rather large fissures on the surface layer of the chrysalis are displayed on it. With the young one's desperate attempts to push the closing in chrysalis away from him with all his might, causes him to shatter a part of the confines of his shell that sends tiny shards of the chrysalis just about everywhere. Emerging from it was a tiny black wing coming out of it and can be seen from the outside, revealing that this young one is most likely a chick. With all this amount of force from the chick's attempt to push away, and the chrysalis' shuddering allows the shell to escape from the rocks grip and comes tumbling down with the last remains of the chrysalis breaking apart which reveals the young one to be a young corvid chick, or more specifically a Raven seeing how his size is much too big to be something such as a carrion crow. Luckily due to how inconsistent Canis' ceiling is the young chick didn't fall for long since the rock the chrysalis was a part of was closer to the ground. Although his landing did make him lose his balance taking some time to recover his standing OK... Just use wings to help with lifting some weight off and hop up with these new talons...there we go, may take some time to get used to these small limbs and now he finally opens his eyes again and looks forward.

...

The first thing he sees in his vision is something unrecognizable, but he was sure it was glaring down at him, he flinches back in horror with his eyes wide What is this?! Getting a further view shows it appears to be lifeless and pale white even though he was sure it looked alive like it looks like a head after all. On further inspection, the young chick sees a whole entire field of these lifeless, white things all with different shapes that look like shapes that different animals would have. What... In the world... he's unsure what they are but they make him feel uneasy and very most of all really horrified like this scene is utterly wrong and shouldn't be here... like the time when he heard the word 'Death' perhaps a connection? Not liking what this young one is seeing, he jumps back up and hops forward and starts to move in a direction in an attempt to get away from all of this, although he wishes he could just go back to his chrysalis, so warm & safe... Like a mother's embrace...

Ears were perked and all four eyes focused on the area ahead, now he was certain of it. Something was hatching --or had hatched- over here and now he was going to investigate. He could see the heat in his vision of some tiny little creature but until he saw it he could only get the vaguest of ideas of what it was.

Slowly he closed in on the creature and finally found that it was a small black bird, the hatchling that he'd heard breaking out of its shell. It was so tiny... so helpless as it lay before a skull. Perhaps in some it would have evoked a feeling of compassion and sympathy but not in the self-named god. What Mosi saw was someone ready to be taken twofold for the God of Death and the God of Stars, an offering for the one over this room and for himself. A death would suffice and his bones scattered would be perfect while the flesh... well... he'd keep the flesh for himself.

Calmly the wolf-like creature approached, four eyes were focused on the tiny creature as he put on a false smile. "Thou art new to this place... Dost thou have a name?" He asked for a purpose.

Contiuing further on, although his movements were fairly sloppy since he was still not yet used to this, it almost felt like he was a being that originally walked as a quadruped that was trying to readapt to the lifestyle of a biped. Thankfully in spite of being a chick his legs were fairly bulky so that helps in a way as the chick's body won't weigh down on the limbs like a barbell, so movement wasn't too hard it was more the hopping and maintaining balance to gain speed.

Looking on forward, he begun to see something that towered over him was approaching towards him, it appeared more unusual than some of these disturbing pale things. The pale ones that looked like heads that glared at him only had 2 round holes on them, yet this one even though clearly had life like him and had an actual head had 4 that made it look like it was staring at him. This other one with closes in on the chick and begun speaking to him, the 2 things this chick noticed is the fact the unusual one that towers over him has an unique way of speaking that &... the voice is the same voice that mentioned that disturbing word. Still this chick is young and is already naive, so while some things about this one are off putting, the smile is enough for this one.

Out of these thoughts he is confused... "Name?" he finally spoke with a voice that was fairly deep for one so young befitting though he is a Raven, their caws do sound fairly deep, and this particular young Raven chick had no idea as to what this one was referring to, yet it sounds rather important like it was something needed.

The tiny chick stared up at him, trusting, far too trusting but that only made the canine's grin broaden. How foolish, how naive. Ah, but weren't children always that way? It made them all the more easy to manipulate and in this case... to catch. Far too soothing for him, far too kindly for his normally brutish countenance the male nodded and barked, "Yes, small one, a name. For instance, mine is Mosi Nyota or "The First Star"." Ah, this poor little chick. He had no idea who he was humoring. "Do you know why I am called that, little chick?" Unable to keep still he began to circle the tiny raven but with four eyes still locked onto the creature. The vessel had not eaten in a long while... this meal would be more than suitable, it was becoming almost too much to toy with it but he persisted because who knew that playing with food could be so fun?

As he began to circle his mouth began to wet --a habit of his when becoming excited-- with a green slime-like saliva. He attempted to control it by licking his chops with his long green tongue but still it began to drip onto the ground where he walked.

Naive this young one may be, but thanks to what kind of animal the chick is he does possess some form of intellect, while he is really deeply engrossed to what this larger one is referring to as a 'name' and that his is 'Mosi Nyota', his actions are becoming rather... Creepy as of right now & really the young one just wants to proceed with his original intention of leaving this area, the pale things he just wants to get out of his sight. Right Now. & this one is now really giving a bad vibe, like... What in the hell is that forming around his jaws, that smile and with the way that stuff is trailing off makes it looks like a smile, that's bloodthirsty... With this thought he decided perhaps he should go solo...

"Would not like to pry. And I think I'll search myself." He tries, keeping an eye on this one as he tries to hop away himself, taking in what this larger one called 'Mosi Nyota' looks like, his traits & all that which wouldn't be hard the parts that glare down at him are a total of 4 which will be easy to remember.

It finally all seemed to dawn on the chick as he began to stalk and salivate in the anticipation of the kill. Long tail flicked back and forth as he watched the tiny creature. The raven chick attempted to hop away on his little legs and Mosi just thought this was the funniest thing. The creature began to laugh as he rushed to attempt to cut off the bird. "Oh no no, I insist. Thou art causing me no distress." He nearly tripped and fell on his face but this display easily annoyed him and made so he didn't quite make it in front of the bird. No matter... This would still end up in his favor, one way or another.

"I am The First Star because I created the stars. I know you haven't been to Orion, my and my sister's domain, but trust that every single star there... I created." This newborn probably didn't know what "stars" were as he didn't even know what a name was but to give him an idea the canine-creature waved his tail slowly, the twinkling markings in his tail began to twinkle to give the illusion of the stars in the night sky that neither of them would be able to see. "But... You will never see Orion... Would you like to know why?" He probably wouldn't... He probably would try to run again but Mosi didn't care. Whichever came, running or an inquiry he was ready to pounce.

Continuing to hop onwards to avert this 'Mosi', his moving was blind to where his destination is as he has no idea on this area's structure, the chick just emerged and all so it makes sense, but as of right now this chick is hopping towards The Bone Fortress even if he is unaware of it. Mosi begun to laugh creepily further proving he really should stay away, watching from behind the chick sees that Mosi was attempting to stop the chick himself in his tracks with its creepy smile still there. Although upon looking, the chick sees that he has an advantage somewhat as the larger one takes a pratfall that almost leads to him falling face plant on its face, OK that was fairly amusing... Look who's laughing now? Albeit inwardly... Ha...

Whilst he continues to hop along in this cave, thankfully his mind has grown somewhat so his view on words are a little better, may be able to say eligible sentences instead of the ones that come easily for when he thinks inwardly & so he does have some understanding to what Mosi is saying to him. Listening to him mumble on to the meaning of 'names', while it does interest the chick he hopes that Mosi will continue as the chick may be able to stay away quicker if Mosi continues to talk about his name meaning. The demonstration of a 'star' was showed to him, yes the chick is also interested in that as well even if he doesn't let it slow him down in his treading, but he did take a mental note of that unusual twinkle that's on the tail, as the young one may see it from a distance from a reflection of light.

Now that Mosi, has completed speaking like a villain monologue, it was the Raven's turn & he must make a distraction with his words while still continuing to hop on closer than ever to the Bone Fortress. With his earlier thoughts in regards to Mosi's monologue & hilarious pratfall, comes some word ideas that for some reason feel like a bad idea, but he can't think of anything else right on the spot. "Those are some fairly intriguing words of choice; I am in wonder... On how some can manage to blurt such statements after a pratfall like that one... ...Too far! That will burn big time! That is arrogant too, even it was honest you damn idiot! His tone before throwing the line that really should've been left unsaid was mentioned was rather friendly it was sickening even with his deep voice, with the big line thrown being deadpan as-a-matter-of-fact.

The tasty little morsel was getting away but Mosi was not one to give up so easily. While the bird hip-hopped to freedom the canine was not far behind. His mouth was parted while he continued to leave a trail of slime in his wake. He was like a cat caught by an intriguing toy that it couldn't give up. He would have this tasty creature and he would have it now. A god did not fail in his mission and come hell or high water he would succeed.

While he followed his ears perked to listen to the sound of the chick. No inquiry came, instead what he heard was a retort thrown back at him. The words made him burn with anger and he exhaled a hiss past his lips, infuriated.

"Insolence! Thy flesh was to be a great offering unto myself and the deity which reins o'er this hill of bones but now, methinks thou shalt be a present for mine sister. After I rend thee limb from limb!" That was the only warning he gave before he let out a savage snarl and opened his mouth its full one-hundred and eighty degrees while he pounced at the bird, aiming to snap his slavering jaws shut on a wing or a leg. He didn't want to go straight for the kill, oh no, he wanted the pest to suffer for daring to insult him.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

His hopping didn't stop in hopes of at least placing some distance between the 2 of them, but really this Mosi may seem like a canine, yet the chick sees that Mosi is acting like some gum that's stuck under a table that they can't manage to Get off, so irritating... The slime caught the young one's eyes, well... At least he has a sign of where Mosi has been & a indication that he's around.

Finally seeing that his snarky remark is sinking in to the canine's ears at seeing them perk up, he'd rather not wait for Mosi to sink that phrase in through his mind process, he starts to go a little faster towards where this... Part of that has a pile of those pale things on the horizon, that area could do... The attempts to go a little faster made the chick flap his wings to go a little further. Sadly looks like the chick did strike a nerve, as now Mosi begun to bellow loudly in pure outrage, which did startle the chick for a brief second even though it did lead way for him to do one particular hop that allows him to go a little further than the usual limit from the fright. Still while the tone does sound threatening he inwardly hopes that he continues. Yes keep on going with that villain monologue, may give some time. Wait.. Bones? Is that what these... horrible pale things are called? In admidst of pondering this lead to a moment of distraction. No young chick, you must continue on, go, go...

Too late... For the young one now feels a utterly strong jolt of pain that envelopes his whole tiny leg that the canine has now clasped onto with his jaws. Not good at all, What a heartless bastard... Is this how he treats the ones he feeds on? No consideration to how long they have been alive? In the young one's panic & disgust of what is right now transpiring he feels an unusual energy, like a power surge that's bubbling up to the surface, realizing now that the feeling is coming from this unusual dark stone thing that's on his head that on inspection looks like scythe blades, placing all of his concentration on this stone while his eyes were on the canine's paw, wishing he'd know what it feels like on his leg that his jaw has now clasped...

Then for some strange reason his scythe things glowed a tad bit, then things took an unexpected turn the said paw that the chick was staring down at just... Moved like some unseen power forced it to move, and when the sudden movement stopped his gem also stopped glowing. Was that him? Snapping out of his wonder of what just happened, this slip on his paw may make him lose his balance! Now is his chance, seeing how the part of him that has been clasped onto is a leg so a little bit of his talon is caught on Mosi's jaw, even if it really hurts and is definitely injured the unusual bulk on it saves things a little, so with that he tries to poke or stab the insides of Mosi's mouth with his talons, placing some slight pressure it hopes the clasp on him will loosen enough to escape.
