So wait, the Nightwatcher can do boons and banes canonically here? Eheheh, any chance I could work with you on something for Cassie's character development? First, I love this. We have magic in this world, but the non-magical side isn't useless - it still exists and these kids would've grown up with it. At some point, you just gotta call 911. Also, since you haven't had the police show up yet, might I jump on this idea and make a new character who's a policewoman or something? Could be part of the beginning of the unInvested world discovering us and the two worlds colliding; it's already starting with Ashlyn.

Do you want to be added too?

Ten of the void. Ten Tühinese, then? Or is it not that easy? Negation was scared. Seed a need. What does it have to do with this place, if anything? He paced around his room in Seed of Arre, the Cahayan inn he was currently staying in. Powers to prove you naught but a child, powers to lock you and cause your last day...there has to be a connection between those lines and Probability! I know it! Gati thumped into a seat, then promptly got back up again. Eight of the cloyed. WHAT THE LIGHT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? He buried his face in his hands, waiting hopelessly. Wasn't this taking a bit longer than he'd wished? One will see their flags in tatters; the flags of what country? And then a knock came at the door. Gati jumped up and ran the few steps to it, throwing it wide open to reveal the inn's owner - Gati had paid her a large amount of money to escort someone up to his room and not say anything to anybody about it. He dismissed her with a nod and watched her stride away. Then his eyes found the girl the innkeeper had brought up. His breath whooshed out all at once. Her light blue eyes landed on him, confusion evident in them; she must be wondering why a total stranger had had her summoned her here. She wore her dark brown hair in a ponytail and was perhaps fifteen. "Come in," Negation insisted. He gestured for the girl to sit on the room's singular chair and dropped to the bed, then sprang up again. "You're Istina Rahasia, correct?" "I go by Izzy," Istina said firmly. "And you go by Gati." Gati bit his lip. "Yes, I do." He tested his theory. "But you know that's not the only name I have." Izzy's face clouded for a heartbeat - one that Gati felt passing all-too-slowly. "I knew...but I didn't believe it, couldn't believe that. There is no way that I'm meeting one of the ancient gods right now." Her voice was flat, dull. "I thought my instinct was wrong somehow." Gati shook his head. "Instincts are never wrong. Yours is Truth, then? I heard it's unusually strong." The teenager shrugged modestly. "That's what other Truths have said." Her face was wary, still; she wanted to know why Negation, of all people, had called her here. So Gati went on. "I was wondering if you knew something no others with your instinct do. Does the phrase 'ten of the void' mean anything to you?" Instantly Izzy's head jerked up to look at him. "I thought you were Negation, not Truth." "I heard it from someone else," he promised her. "You've heard it too, then." "Only parts," she whispered. "It cuts out randomly, and I don't know what I'm missing." Gati nodded and, without fanfare, recited: "Powers you shall lose yet retain, Powers to get that you might be fain, Powers upon you, these powers reviled, Powers to prove you naught but a child. One from the forges, to question them all! One born of skies, to watch their fall! One who sees spirits and chases them hence! One who knows the ways of thence! One will know and one will fly, One will take lives and one will die. One will see their flags in tatters; One will destroy all that shatters. Powers will come and go unrecognized, Powers will corrupt yet be disguised; Powers to be yours until you betray, Powers to lock you and cause your last day. One to kill, Kill to one. Time will out Until there are none. See friends collude and enemies elude, See storms break and monsters wake, See children scream and gods who dream, See the exoneration of a dying nation - What you cannot afford: Severity, oblivion, and discord! Sworn to race the resolution, Do not underestimate your solution. Know that none seek you; You seek none that know. You must fight the rise to power; Power to rise, the fight musts you. Never sever; Create hate; Seed a need; Grow to know. Ten of the void; Nine of the light; Eight of the cloyed; Seven of the fight; Six to end you; Five to mend you; Four to rend you; Three to send you; Two of your number will rescue Fate, but One among you will be too late." Throughout all of this, Istina had been sitting in relative shock. Now she jumped up and moved a pace closer to Gati almost unconsciously. "What?" The god smiled bleakly. "What does that even mean?" Negation shook his head again. "I ask myself that every day, with the whole thing, with certain parts...we can only guess." He met her gaze. "One of my guesses is you." Me, Izzy mouthed. "You." "Explain." Gati forced down a smirk. She certainly didn't seem intimidated by his deity status. "Well, I think you're part of all this. Specifically, I think you're the one born of skies." "To watch their fall. Whatever that means." Clearly, Izzy knew that bit. "But...I'm just some Cahayan kid. I work with my parents - I breed horses! What about me makes you remotely think that line or any other refers to me? Explain more." "You heard the Augury," he said simply. "I've been searching for years, and not one other person, of any instinct, has the slightest idea that this exists." Izzy opened her mouth; she closed her mouth. "Even - even if nobody else does know about it - that doesn't mean anything. I bet tons of people know things I don't." "Not as many as you'd think," Gati informed her softly. "You know, you really are good with your instinct compared to most. You can just about use it at will, can't you? Every other instinct does the same, but Truth is supposed to be different. Haven't you ever considered that?" There was quiet in the inn room for a few minutes. Gati let her have the time. At last Izzy looked up at him, eyes far away. "If that's true." Her gaze slipped down. "Then...by the gods, what do I do?" "Well, being a god, I suppose I can answer," he said nonchalantly. "Come with me. I need to find the other gods; they're meeting to talk about this, and you're involved in all this. You should be there." "My family -" "Will be worried, but you cannot tell them. They'll survive without you for a day." The helplessness in her irises hardened to defiance, and Gati tapped into his power hurriedly. He mentally reached for the fabric of the world, swiping his last words away like marker on a whiteboard, making it so they had never happened - so his mouth hadn't formed the words and Izzy's ears hadn't picked them up. "Your family will be all right, but if you tell them, that wraps them up in all this. They could get hurt. And I would prefer that my identity remain secret," he offered instead. Izzy took this better. "Okay. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. When...when do we go?" "How about now?"

You have a falconry permit?!? You have FALCONS? Do you have any sooty falcons? I bow down to your birdy ways Congrats!

And again.

Yeah, basically the only thing it ever did was make Didgeridoo, I think. Want to be added?

Sorry, dude.

I almost wouldn't mind if it did...

Pi nodded. "Of course."
