Snippet #1933717

Distressed. Disturbed. Worried. Njaarh couldn't quiet place the feeling, but one thing he did know. Something were happening in the north. New creations. Awakenings? Whatever it was, it only reinforced what Njaarh already figured: his people needed to prepare their defence. In more ways then one. But first, he needed to add the mentality, and the physique for it. And he would do it in a way that would his people would be able to accept, and would be adaptable to his children’s current society.

And so Njaarh set to work. He gathered wood, dirt and rock. He set to working those materials, building out of them perfect replicas of the humans he used for their image. And many of these humanoid statues he build, each of them unique, each with a purpose. A purpose which were soon to be reviled. Being a god, it didn't take him long until he stood in front of a field of these creations, but it had taken him long enough for many of his people to gather and watch his work. It made him glad, for he wished his people to see this his gift to them. He spoke, with his voice of many.

“Listen now, children of Ours! It has come to Ours attention that the world is shifting. Powers are at work, not all of them with friendly purpose, and we cannot trust them to be as peaceful and as willing to understand as us when our time of meeting comes to pass! Therefore, we have chosen to create our newest of children. They are to become thy's sisters and brothers! Now, welcome them!”

And so Njaarh took a deep breath, and his call were powerful.
“AWAKEN!”

The statues shook, and came to life, and as they did, their eyes lit up in the same yellow colour as their gods. They looked around themselves, before looking up to their god, as he spoke to them.

“Thy are the Vyrns, defenders of the Neorns. Thy are to spread out in the forests around our lands, and there build defence. Thy shall always test each other in battle, but only to improve thy-selves. In thanks for this, the Neorns will help thee with what supplies thy need, from food and supplies to armour and weapons. Remember to always help each other, watch each others back, and help each others to improve.”

After that, Njaarh followed his new creation, the Vyrns, to their forests, and helped them settle, informing them of why and how to build shrines, all while he made sure to seek out any humans in the area, speaking to them, explaining the situation and offering them to join his people. And as he helped them, he made further plans, and finally continued on to speak with one of his Overseers.

“We wish thy to travel over the salt desert to the east. Take two horses, and pack plenty of supplies. Thy will know that thy have reached thy destination when thy start to encounter followers of one of Our siblings, the one of the Water. Carry this.” and he gave the man a wooden staff, with an emerald at it's top. “This will mark thee as a follower of Ours, and that thy speak with Our voices. Ask to speak with her, or those that speak for her, and offer them this: We wish not to fight, and desire naught but peace. We hope that she wants the same, and asks that we close a deal together. If they are attacked, we will come to their aid, and if we in turn are attacked, they will come to ours. If they agree, tell them also that we should make the salt desert between us a neutral ground, a place were our people can meet and trade, and where we will both be honoured. We wish thy luck on thy travels.”

He smiled as he watched the Overseer set on his way, before returning to Jorvagn, to again speak with his people.

“We have achieved much, Children of Ours! It's time we prove something, not only to ourselves, but to the rest of the world, and to the children that are yet to come! This is what we will do. On the place were We first spoke to thee, a great temple will be built. This place will be the grandest of buildings, and we will fill it with honour, not only to honour Us, but to honour thy own achievements, as to never forget how great we will be!”

And so, he made sure to help his people with this greatest on buildings, on every occasion when he were not travelling the land, visiting his people. He felt great pride for what had been done.
