Sure! I wanna learn how to FIGHT! i wanna learn how to fight with pool noodles, just like. boof, you get hit with a pool noodle, and you get hit with a pool noodle. Frick yes, you are P U M P E D! So excited by the idea of learning some physical activities you invent the game of Water Pasta, where the participants throw wet spaghetti at each other while swimming. You start talking incredibly fast trying to get all of your ideas out at once. Firnal takes your hand, "I see you are very excited, but what we do next will take some concentration. I need you to focus on me and think about staying next to me." You can totally do that, it's easy, no sweat, got it, no thinking about animals, or running, or climbingfightingfly... "Shh," Firnal hushes you softly sensing your thoughts, "just focus on my face and my hands holding yours." You feel that sensation from before, like she's putting a blanket around you, and your thoughts slow down. The space around you blurs and you suddenly find yourself standing in a large grass field. There are shapes drawn in chalk for different sports, a clay track for running, and a large stone building with huge columns framing the entrance. That "Blanket feeling" goes away. "Here we are, the Gymnasium!" exclaims Firnal, "Ah, and there's who we want to talk to, Kenox God of Athleticism." Jogging toward you is a man who is in peak physical shape. His movements seem effortless and enthusiastic. He is wearing a headband, which keeps his long hair out of his face, a pair of shorts, and leather sandals. He comes to a stop in front of you and gets down on one knee to be eye to eye with you. "Well met young Godling, I'm Kenox, and this is my Gymnasium! I hope you enjoy games of sport." "I'm Benerion Uthgert Mavenerra, you can call me BUM! Can we fight, and train, and invent new games?!" "I like this one Firnal, they share some of my spirit! Leave them with me awhile, I'll watch out for them." Kenox lets out a booming laugh and stands. You realize you aren't even as tall as his waist and Firnal is only as tall as his shoulders. She looks to you, "Is that what you want? I can stay if you wish and just watch from there." You see she's pointing to a wooden stadium seating area. "They'll be fine Firnal, I'm not going to hurt them. Though we may have to do something about your legs. Can't really run on tentacles. Hmm..."
What do you want to do? |

Can we temporarily change our tentacles into legs? Ask Final for guidance doing so of course, we don't want to mess this up.

prove them wrong by slithering ahead at top speed! With a sneaky grin you immediately lunge forward with all the strength and speed you can muster! It's hard at first, coordinating all your tentacles under your loose and baggy clothes. Then you decide, heck, pull up on the robe and hike it towards your waist. Then you really start moving! You can feel the air pushing back your hair and just let joy take you.
CRASH!
Ow! Face down in the dirt you realize you've gotten all tangled up, and you're only 20 feet away...
"Oh dear!" a familiar concerned voice exclaims. "BUM, I hope you're not hurt." Firnal is already kneeling and picking you up gently.
"Ho ho! That was quite a good show for a first timer. You've got some spirit kid!" Kenox strides over to you in 4 paces. You don't think he's trying to rub it in, but it does sting a bit.
Can we temporarily change our tentacles into legs? Ask Final for guidance doing so of course, we don't want to mess this up. "I want to be able to run fast, can you help me have legs?" you ask of Firnal.
"Ah, the power to change is always within you young BUM, but here-" she gestures to the Gymnasium.
"Here, I've received help from Ludiuro, to make it more like Ganus. None without my, or Ludiuro's, consent may change form or otherwise break any rules that exist in the Human Realm. This is so we may compete fairly and push ourselves to the limit!" As he finishes this statement he is pointing skyward and flexing.
"Ahem, yes, What Kenox says is true, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you looking more human so you could compete in their games here?" She manages to turn this question into a statement. I like this idea, How much can we reshape? >Accidentally form the tentacles into just one Hyper-Leg. You think hard and reform all your tentacles into one GIANT leg. You make a quick bound into the air, soaring far above the heads of Firnal and Kenox.
"Oh, they're Khozuosa." Kenox looks a little paler. "Hmm, I can work with that, I think, it's been a long time since I trained one."
Frick yes bouncing is so fun! You bounce and leap and flip in a large circle around your friends.
Firnal whispers, "This is why I offered to stay. I'm worried for them." a sad look crosses her face briefly "They're so young and they just don't know what dangers there are yet..."
Forward leap spin! Perfect landing in front of Firnal and Kenox. They look distracted, and you don't think they saw how awesome you looked. |

Well, if they won't pay attention, clearly we have to try even HARDER! Do a triple backflip!

You try your best to get their attention by being even more exuberant and bouncy. Despite your best efforts they seem more interested in talking to each other.Not good enough, I'm here, see me!You go to do your best forward twirling flip between them, when Kenox turns suddenly toward you. You've lost control of the spin and accidently kick Kenox hard in the stomache. The contact sends you spinning head down toward the ground. He let's out a brief grunt and grabs you mid-air setting you down gently, on... two legs?!"Hey now, let's calm down and have a chat." Kenox seems less exuberant than before. Firnal joins in, "Yes, we have a proposition for you. We both agree that you need time under a supervised eye and each of us think we're the best suit for you."Kenox, "I think spending training with me would best suit your wild energy, Firnal thinks she would best calm your mind. Which is it gonna be kid?"
Your choice: Train under Kenox, Study in the Library with Firnal, or try to split time between the two?
In addition list what you most want to do under the God you choose (i.e. - how do you train or study?) |

I think we have stuff we can learn from both, maybe ask if we could split time between the two of them.
Under Kenox I wanna learn how to punch really really well. Maybe swim too.
Under Firnal I'd like to learn more about space. And maybe humans.
