"In essence," Despair replied to Schi'vya. "It is said that the best way to avoid a trap is to set it off on your own terms."

"On my own terms..." She thought hard, coming up with many ideas; then, she came up with one. "I know what I'll do!"

She pulled a small part of her essence from herself-- an orb of watery, flaming, rocky, and windy chaos and molded it into a hard copy of herself. It was slightly smaller than her (and noticeably weaker) but it looked almost exactly like her. An aspect of herself-- the perfect dummy. "There. That should give'em headaches when their world turns upside down."

Itja-Rek chuckled.  

"Well, at least we agree that you and I cannot be the same.  As for where I come from... oh, that is a very long story.  The simplest way to tell it is that I, and many other gods of this world, come from a place that was once called Culthet, a land of dark, stormy oceans and sleeping horrors.  Eventually, though, that place collided with another, called Mishway, and in the resulting chaos as the two planes fused together, this place we are in now came to be.  If you look around, you can still see signs of the original planes, but for the most part, all that had been is now lost.  It is not all bad, though.  We refugees, from both Culthet and Mishway have managed to make a little place for ourselves here."

"But what of you two?  Wherever you came from... I certainly did not recognize it."

The swarms, still rough mockeries of the form of Itja-Rek buzzed and churned over themselves repeating snippets of phrases the two gods around them made over and over, as though trying to dissect them for parts, mostly oblivious of the many heads of Hirudi, despite the fact they still devoured parts of the swarms at random.

Finally, the buzzing attempted to take on coherent thought once more.

"We come from a world beyond this one. We did not recognize it. We are the many."

And with that, the flying portion of the swarms began to stream upwards, darkening the sky in the area for a time as they swirled across it, slowly beginning to dissipate, and thus leaving only Hirudi and Itja-Rek to stand before one another.

Over the past time since meeting up with Pollux, he figured out at least when the phasing was about to happen. Unfortunately, it wasn't till right before it happened that he could tell. Moving down through the godspire was fairly easy though due to the phasing. Getting out one hole to leave it was not though. He had not even moved 5 feet from the exit when another phase hit. This one was a little different though. Right at the beginning, the earth started to shake, the air around Astriluxus swirled and distorted. Quickly, he pushed Pollux away tossing him several feet away. Light began to envelop Astriluxus, and he started to shimmer in and out. Thinking this time he was going to vanish for good, he closed his eyes waiting for it to end. The rumbling got louder and the earth shaking got more violent. Astriluxus disappeared for a moment. With a blindingly bright flash of light, everything had stopped. With a loud resounding boom through the area, Astriluxus had reappeared. This time he was in his dragonshape, and he wasn't alone.

 A short, (what appeared to him to be short anyways!) green creature covered in what appeared to be all sorts of things had appeared right in front of him and seemed to have landed on his rearend. Shaking his muddled head after that last one, he looks on to his new companion. "So my friend, who might you be? and I apologise about the entrance."

Laughs at the little ones energy, his laugh seeming like it booms to the little one. "Ah, Donovyet it is then! Its been a long time since I've seen one like you and even longer with you kind of energy! I like that!" Laughing some more, "I'm Astriluxus, guardian, protector of life and The Dragon God. I am one of many of us here in this vast new world, and I have you to thank for fixing a slight problem that I had!" Looking over at Pollux kneeling at them, "stand and raise your head my friend, we've been together long enough for you to not have to bow in my presence."  "....but.. but..." Pollux starts to say, but before he can get another word in Astriluxus overrides him, "Now join us my friend, we have company! Donovyet meet my mortal champion Pollux! He's been helping me out!"
