Rootthelucario's Story

Lilith nodded vigorously, "Seconded, we might want to wait until Chandra gets done with the core though"

"I don't get it. Why do we need heat in the planet when we have the sun I made?" asked Mrs Leotard.
"Ah, but it would appears that someone may have accidentally covered the sun with clouds. You were so caught up in making the sky and weather, you did not try to include them all together." Roothor pointed to the sky, which indeed covered the land in cloudy darkness.
"Well, I'll go fix that." Mrs Leotard flew up into the sky and, concentrating, created a system; a code, almost, where random weather events would happen. The luck seemed to be in their favor, however, and the sky parted to reveal a shining sun.
Soon, the snow on the ground melted. Chandra came back up from the tunnel, which sealed behind her. "Done," she said. "Now what?"

"Lilith was thinking more about what would happen during the night", Lilith confessed to Roothor, while Mrs Leotard was creating the system, "What use is it to grow plants during the day, if the cold of night would kill them,"

Chandra came back up and Lilith welcomed her back. After that she turned to Roothot again,

"Speaking of which", she said to him, "Is Lilith free to grant sentience to any of your Creations, or would you like for Lilith to ask for your input first?"

"It is possible to have a joint control over sentient life. I can create them and dictate how they will be physically, and you can do likewise with the mental or sol traits - since that seems to be part of the aspect of your domain." Roothor paused. "However, you do raise a valid point. How will we keep life alive at night?"
"Well, my core should have a good enough heat to keep plants and underground creatures alive," admitted Chandra, "but and aboveground life? Not so much."
An idea struck Mrs Leotard. "On the moon, I'd created a sort of mausoleum for our former leader - and I guess the father, or ancestor, or past incarnation of Roothor - Root. Perhaps we could expand on that, and build an entire palace for us all! We could build great braziers to keep warmth and some light during the night!"
"That sounds like a fine idea," said Roothor.
"I like the brazier part," said Chandra. "Okay, I guess we're doing this then!"

"It's a deal", Lilith said to Roothor, "Although Lilith reserves the right to ask you to make me one, if she ever gets an amazing idea for a being"

That's not to say Lilith strictly needed Roothor's help, if she really wanted. It has been stated before, but Lilith is, by nature, a spirit entity. She doesn't actually need a solid form, but can take one if she wishes. Likewise, she could first create the soul, and then give it the ability to take physical shape. This would only be needed for the first couple of the species, before they'd have to procreate the old-fashioned way.

Ofcourse this would make the first of the species practically immortal, for as long as Lilith allowed it, but she wouldn't particularly have had a problem with that.

This was all a moot point though.

"Oh, oh..., and Lilith requests we use Seraphfire for the braziers", she said, proud of herself for the idea.

Seraphfire was gentle golden flame, which emitted heat to those in need, even at a distance. It didn't need any fuel to burn, and also wouldn't injure any being, safe for the irredeemable ones. If one had redeeming traits, the fire would work as a cleanser instead, burning away the sin. It would be perfect for both the purpose of warming the earth, as well as help act as a security system.

That was not the first reason she thought of it though, although they were the reasons for her to share her initially whimsical idea. You see, Seraphfire sings. The sound it makes sounding different to every being, but it always has an uplifting effect, whether it was things like soothing anger, or inspiring hope.

Phoenixes could also be born from this fire, but that was neither here nor there for Lilith, who merely remembered it as miscellaneous information.

"Alright then," said Chandra. "Let's get to work."
The gods flew through the Earth's atmosphere, which would protect any life on the planet from the harmful rays of the sun. It was really just a big ball of lightning, and didn't radiate off too much heat, but it, along with the heated temperatures, would keep the world at a normal climate, akin to Spring.
When the gods landed on the Moon, made of dirt brown clay and darker soil, they got to work. Mrs Leotard created an atmosphere akin to the Earth's, in which the fire could thrive. Mrs Leotard wasn't exactly sure that Seraphfire would need oxygen to exist, but she wasn't taking any chances.
Roothor went over to the temple area to go see his father/ancestor/past incarnation. (OOC Note: Godly family blood ties are a b****.) Meanwhile, Chandra had crafted a large palace of marble, iron and gold. The large spires touched the sky, and it looked completely marvelous. She'd also made a bunch of gold and bronze braziers. Chandra called to Lilith, asking for some help in creating the Seraphfire. She could create mundane fires, but it would need Lilith's Sol powers to become Seraphfire.

Lilith bounced over to Chandra, giddy with excitement. She didn't question the fact that Chandra didn't know how to create Seraphfire, since it was only slightly useful in smithing, when one wanted to purify corrupted ores.

"The first thing one needs to know about Seraphfire is that it isn't limited to being created by certain race or anything, it depends on an individual's disposition whether they'll have any luck in creating it. It's just easier to be created by Gods, since knowledge of the true nature of things is... well... in our very nature..."

She paused, "In fact, one could even say that in gaining the Insight of the True Nature of the World, and the Release of Self, a mortal ascends into Godhood, making it in fact, only useable by Gods, but Lilith thinks those are mostly semantics."

"Seraphfire is the Culmination of Life. It is Hope, it is the Will to Continue. It is Joy, it is Love, it is Passion. It is the Reason of Existence manifested as a fire."

"Okay, well let me see if I can make this 'Seraphfire'..."
Chandra inhaled deeply, eyes closed, holding her hands over the brazier. They began to glow with a gentle warmth.
Suddenly, bright golden flames sprouted from all the braziers Chandra had built. The shot into the sky, surrounding the moon in an aura of light and heat.
"Great job, Chandra!" Mrs Leotard said, giving a friendly shoulder clap to the surprised-looking fire goddess. "I better go find Roothor now..."

* * *

Meanwhile, Roothor stood back on Earth, looking up at the newly formed moon. It was time to do his part.
He had mixed feelings about seeing the former ruler of the gods, Root. Sure, he looked a lot like Roothor, but Roothor was not exactly sure what that made him. A son? A reincarnation? A descendent? Or some new god that just happened to look like Root?
It was a moot point. Whatever he was, he was.
He opened his hand. From it dropped a tiny amber seed. It fell to the ground, and immediately life sprang up. Grass; trees; ferns; bushes; mushrooms; moss; all sorts of plants and fungus. He could not create animals yet, as he would need Lilith's help for that. For now, he enjoyed the tall trees, the ripe fruit.
Under the sea, in Gregorias' kingdom, there would be plant life as well. Coral reefs grew from the gray rocks, as well as other oddities as well.

"It's a rush, isn't it?", Lilith asked knowingly.

What Chandra had done was to briefly attune herself to existence after all. Completely. For that one short moment she was everything. To call her Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent wouldn't do the experience the justice it deserved.

It would be jarring to return to her normal state afterwards, restricted to things that had been your everything for all your life, while now knowing there was so much more happening, beyond your current senses.

"Be careful though. Being in that state can be addictive. And power like that can corrupt even the Gods. Luckily Seraphfire itself is an answer to that problem though."

"Decisions decisions all of them wrong"

Wrath jeez where is everyone?
