>Apologize profusely, but extend a hand for a hearty handshake! Make a good 2nd impression, kill em with kindness, and the excitement of meeting new friends! You put out your hand for a handshake and Alenora takes it, gently pulling you to your "feet".
Alenora looks at you with mild concern and says, "It's nice to meet you BUM, I hope you aren't hurt."
Remedying the situation you shake her hand and extend the other towards Cirilha. "Hi, I'm sorry for that. I'm so excited to meet more Gods! You two must be really important right? Your wings are really cool!"
Cirilha gives you a bored look and doesn't take your hand. They look to Firnal, "You're kidding right? You're letting a baby decide this?"
The issue is that you don't want the humans leaving and telling others about the grove, right? Just don't let them leave. You could make use of a few humans, right? ...Or if not that, you could curse them so that if they DO talk about the grove they'll turn into a forest creature or something. You say, "Umm, you're Gods right so, just make them stop?" Cirilha gives an exhausted sigh. "Alenora took action in MY grove, that's the problem now." They look at Firnal. "Are you going to give a ruling then?"
Maybe your book has a good suggestion in it. Open it to a random page and read out loud a new answer that will surely help these two! Well, that didn't go as well as you hoped. Looking down at the book in hand you read the page you are on... Before you is an amazing painting of an adult Gorilla. It's eyes hold a gentle majesty and you speak, "Gorillas can catch human colds and other illnesses." A long silence passes.Firnal is the first to speak, "Well, I think you need to study a bit more BUM." Alenora speaks next, "It was a good try but I think we'll listen to what Firnal has to say. That was the agreement Cirilha and I made." "Let the adults do the talking little one." Chimes in Cirilha. Firnal speaks up, "Now now, Cirilha, we all started from ignorance. BUM, let me explain the situation. Cirilha sensed intruders in one of their groves and sent their animals to remove them. One of them was a devout follower of Alenora and asked her for aid. Alenora then spirited all of the humans away safely. Cirilha claims that by doing this Alenora violated their grove. They then came to me to seek my guidance for the grievance between them. My advice is that Alenora is allowed to save her follower, but the rest of the humans are killed for violating the Grove." She pauses to let all three of you think.
"So, does this sound fair to everyone?" |

No. They don't deserve to die because they were wrongfully saved. What's done is done. Just curse them! Make them gorillas! (Point to the picture)

You go to ask the question but you find the answer already inside you. Death is the end of life. A natural cycle that must always close.
No. They don't deserve to die because they were wrongfully saved. What's done is done. Just curse them! Make them gorillas! (Point to the picture) You speak up, and point at the picture. "Why do they have to die? Can't you just make them an animal instead?" Firnal looks you in the eyes, "Putting a human's essence into an animal form would be worse than death. They aren't capable of changing their appearance like we are and remaining who they are. The Human Realm is not like the Godly Realm. It's rules are more rigid." Cirilha is still ignoring you and extends a hand to Alenora, "Firnal's compromise is... acceptable to me." Alenora has a sad look about her as she extends her hand out and grasps Cirilha's, "Yes, compromise is always sad, but necessary." A brief glow of white light surrounds the two and you feel a strong force emanating briefly from them. They let go of each others hand, turn to Firnal, bow, and start to walk away. Firnal looks to you, "I'm sorry you disagree with what happened, but there's so much you don't know yet. Would you like to go back to looking at the Library, or try the Gymnasium?"
Library or Gymnasium? |

I know i sound like a book nerd here, but I feel like my brain muscles need some more stretching. There is a lot to take in!
I feel like there is a lot of potential to make a faux pas and piss off other gods otherwise.

Could I read more about the human realm and humans? I know i sound like a book nerd here, but I feel like my brain muscles need some more stretching. There is a lot to take in! I feel like there is a lot of potential to make a faux pas and piss off other gods otherwise. "I feel like I really want to stay here and study more. Would you help me learn about the Human Realm, and what Gods do there?" Firnal gives a large warm smile and says, "Of course, I'd love to help. Hmm... Let's start over here." She takes your hand and directs you to a different section of the Library. You look around while walking and see that you are once again alone with her, but didn't hear any doors open or close. She directs you toward a small nook that has a desk, several chairs, and a simple overhead chandelier. "Here we are, and here are some books to get started with." With her other hand she places down a large stack of books you don't remember her picking up. A long time passes, and you've gotten through 5 books. The following summarizes what you learned.The Human Realm was created by the Three as a place separate from the Godly Realm There is one planet that is home to the humans. They call it Ganus. Humans are the favored life form of the Three. Humans have wildly different cultures, habits, looks, etc. Humans worship the Gods, and sometimes earn favors from them. The Human Realm has much stricter rules in place. Physics, Chemistry, Time, etc. There is no afterlife for humans, or anything else. Firnal shuts the latest book, "As you see there's a lot you can learn, but I encourage you to learn more about it when you visit. It's just my job to get you ready to go there. Us Gods are born with knowledge, humans are born a blank slate and struggle their whole lives to learn. It would take the average human to reach age 12 to be able to read all the books you just did, and you're only a few hours old." "But what if I make someone like Cirilha mad again?" you ask. Firnal pauses to think before saying, "Cirilha is... different from most Gods. They use to be very powerful when Humanity was just starting out. As their numbers grew and they learned to make towns and cities, that hurt Cirilha and made them weaker. Cirilha is learning to change, but that is hard for one so old. I hope Cirilha can change enough, or that humanity decides to leave some places untouched." Firnal looks a little sad. "Well, no matter, we've been here for awhile. Do you want to go have some fun at the Gymnasium?"
What would you like to do? |
