Celona, the Void
"How did I choose their form, you ask? You, who's form changes at a whim? It was not I that shaped their dream, I merely planted the seed." Arglwydd spoke while changing his form to something similar to Celona's, "Look and see how they now impose their own dreams upon the world."
The Guide stopped to consider the statement she had just heard. Planting a seed seemed like it would take time, but if she used her power as Arglwydd had, it would seem like an instant. She only now had to decide what kind of being she wished to create. While thinking, she created a few gusts of wind to carry her around. While doing this, she was struck by a most interesting thought. Holding out her arms and allowing the wind to carry her faster, she willed her own arms wider to see if it worked. Without having to test much more than that, Celona now know what kind of creature she would create.
Turning her arms back to their original form, she closed her eyes and imagined the outline of the creature she wished to create. In front of her, a form of pure energy appeared and the Guide reached out to mold it into her own mental image. After trial and error, she arrived at the perfect form for her new creature. After making some finishing touches, she snapped her fingers.
Down on the planet, forms began to appear left and right. Some were content with sitting on the ground, while others jumped up, spread their wings, and took flight along the currents that Celona had left for them. They each had agendas of their own, and neither needed a god to worship nor an understanding of the world. They were simple creatures. (Create Life, Birds)
Smiling inwardly, she knew she had not yet finished. Creating life was quite fun, and she wanted to see what else she would do. Again closing her eyes, Celona imagined a similar being to what she had created before, but this time it was much bigger and very intimidating. Willing it's basic form to appear via energy in front of her, she went to work. Smoothing out the wings and adding layers of thick scales, she would give it the movement of her previous creations and armor enough to avoid most forms of harm. Before creating this beast on the planet, she decided to do something else. Reaching into the creation that was in front of her, she judged how big its heart would be and not only did she create a heart for the beast, but she shared just a touch of her own power and created a mortal artifact so that the beast would forever know its creator and her wish. (Create Mortal Artifact, Dragon Heart)
Once her creation was complete, the Guide knew that she was not done just yet. Scanning the planet for a suitable home for her new creatures, she noticed an expanse of water near Atlantis that was unused for the time being. With a single snap of her fingers, the land rose up and the island of Draconis had been formed. With a rocky outcropping surrounding the more lush forests on the inside, the island would make a suitable home for beings that did not take kindly to being disturbed. (Create Land, Draconis)
With so much time spent, Celona not only knew that these creatures would be a part of herself, but she felt a strong attraction to them. They would be free to fly in the colourful world, strong enough to defend themselves, and she decided that she would teach them everything they needed to know. With this, the Guide began to breathe out slowly and steadily until not only wind was formed, but raw energy that looked just like she did. It only took a little more to manifest this energy on Draconis. (Create Avatar, Nill)
Nill, Draconis
On the ground, things were much different. Everything felt heavier, different, strange, but Celona did not regret the decision she had made and embraced this new experience with open arms. The way she manifested herself varied quite a bit from the form she took in the Void mainly in the way of appearances. From the outside, she appeared to be near five feet tall with a slender body, pointed ears, and fierce eyes. Her senses were heightened compared to the regular human, and her speed was increased signifigantly as well. Underneath this guise, she held the ability to turn herself into a fully fledged dragon at will. She stopped to think for a moment, as this name she gave her creation came almost without hesitation. It was decided then, these creatures would be known as Dragons. With her newfound form, she scanned the area for a suitable place to begin this life for her new creations.
"Excellent," her words were sharp and did not carry as they did in the void, "I believe this will do nicely." Before the Guide stood an immense tree near the center of the forest. Believing this to be the best place to set her plans into motion, she began the transformation of this body into a dragon. It was quick and painless, but the result was perfect. Where once stood a humanoid now stood a large dragon. There was only one thing left to do.
Celona, the Void
Celona had finally completed the process of creating the very first dragon, and decided she would leave the rest up to the seed that she was about to plant. With a wave of her hand, the energy in front of her disappeared, and manifested itself in material form down on the planet. (Create Life, Dragons)
Nill, Draconis
The Guide decided before meeting with the dragons, she would develop an alias for her avatar. With that, she took on the alias Nill just as the dragons were brought into existence. The first of the dragons that was created contained the artifact that Celona had created for him earlier and with that, he easily knew that this being in front of him was truly his creator. Lowering his head in an attempt to show respect, the other dragons that had appeared followed suit. Once this act had been accomplished, Nill decided it was time to show them their power.
In what seemed like an instant, Nill transformed her body into the same as before.
"This..." she began by grabbing the attention of the others, "This is your power. You may assume a form similar to the other races and creatures of this earth and avoid unecessary attention." With a slight mental nudge, Nill showed the newly brought to life dragons to understand the method by which to change their bodies. It was within their grasp, but the specifics had to be revealed in order for it to go as smoothly as her own change.
Each dragon in turn changed to their own unique form. Once this was done, Nill checked to make sure everyone had done it properly. She noticed that the dragon with the special heart that she created was male due to the unique mark that was created on his chest. Deciding that he would need a suitable partner, she found the strongest looking female out of the group, and by placing a similar mark on her chest, the female dragon became a hero that would change destiny, Nill felt, for the betterment of her people. (Raise Hero /Exarch: Spero) Once satisfied, she began speaking again.
"With that, I establish this forest as the Enclave of the Dragons. This is your domain. Your land. You are free to do with it as you wish." (Create Society, Enclave of the Dragons)
