Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was true that Aketch preferred the flat dry waste lands and all the death that it had to offer but she hadn't given the rest of the mortal realms a fair shake and the goddess would be the first to acknowledge that. So, Aketch had decided to wander the lands and possibly see what else the mortal realms had to offer. From lush jungles to peaceful savannas the goddess flew. These lands were nice but she was still feeling restless so her wings continued to carry her.

Before Aketch really processed where she was headed she found her self on a ledge on the side of a mountain. She was resting her black vulture like wings for now as adventuring had taken a toll.

Hey now, goddesses could get tuckered out just as well as a mortal. Aketch had done a load of flying after all.

There was a chill that felt familiar to the goddess. The chill reminded her of the feeling the gods haven had. This chill wasn't as crisp as that of the gods haven but Aketch would not describe the chill as something that was nice feeling either. She supposed that was why the vultures did not dare fly up with her and instead resided on the lower cliffs below. She adjusted her bone helm some getting a better view of the horizon before her.

Wow.

It was lovely. Maybe the tops of the mountains wasn't so bad.

Movement in the air caught the goddess attention. For a moment there was something out of place and then she was able to zero in on what it was she saw. Only a fellow god would have such a presence, or none presence rather. Or at least she assumed it was that of a god. Either that or her eyes were playing tricks on her which Aketch doubted.

"Is anyone up there? You can come down if you like. I won't bite." Unless they were about to die they were probably safe from her.

"Unless you want to stay up there. Thats also fine," Her wings hugged close to her body to help trap in some of the warmth.

Out into view stepped one of the prettier gods Aketch had ever seen and that was saying something as she was friends with Infatuation. Her wings let out an excited flap and she soared closer to get a better look. No, Aketch was not shy nor did she care if her intruding was unwelcomed. Her yellow eyes scanned the male from behind her skull helm.

"My, you're pretty aren't you." The way she said it wasn't in a thirsty way but more of a matter of fact way. "I thought I'd seen the prettiest god but meh. Guess there is more to see after all.." She didn't seem to mind speaking her thoughts.

"Soooooo what kind of god are you... I mean with the size of you and the looks I'd assume you're a god... It would be awkward now that I think about it if you weren't a god... Please say you're a god." She frowned now realizing maybe she was over stepping her boundaries.

"Well yes you're a god but what kind?" She tilted her head curiously, "For example I am the goddess of scavengers. It's a pleasure to meet you by the way."

There was a flash of teeth indicating that she was infact smiling at this beautiful god. Some how, despite her macabre exterior, her smile came off as warm and friendly. Aketch looked scary on the outside but she had a warm and loving heart on the inside.

"So.. if you don't mind me taking a guess.... Are you a luck god?"

"Well that explains why you're such a pretty god then. Ethereal would demand its god be beautiful, " She cocked her head to the side, "But it doesn't fully explain why you're hiding up here. I wouldn't figure some one so big and beautiful would want to hid at least. I mean ..." She gestured to all of Sheridan.

There was no awareness that maybe she was being a tad too forward or even the least bit uncomfortable about what she was talking about. This was nothing personal aside from being a conversation and the thing that had caught her attention was this gods other worldly beauty.

"But seriously.. Am .. I interrupting anything or ... I mean you were hiding. Why were you hiding?" There was an amused, yet puzzled look on Aketch's face.

"Oh I guess thats the better question huh?" She fluttered her wings a little as she thought. "Guess I was curious about what was up here. I was resting my wings on a ledge and saw your shimmer and wanted to see more. "

The answer probably wasn't the most satisfying thing. There was no real reason for her to be up here it was true but Aketch had been asleep so long she was excited to explore and experience what she could to make up for lost time. Her wings tended to carry her where they carried her.

"I mean... I guess its nice up here. I can see why a god would prefer being up here. Buuuuuuut its nothing compared to the wastelands." She shrugged. "Do you get a lot of mortals that seek you out up here? I bet you do... or maybe you don't. "

"Oh very hot! If you're a mortal it could kill you but thats why its so great. We're gods so it doesn't matter." She gave a very friendly smile like she was talking about some kind of happy thing.

"Heeeeey... I have an idea. Why don't you follow me? I can show you around the mortal realm. It'll be fun!"

Before she could even get an answer Aketch was soaring downward towards the bottom of the mountain. It was obvious the only answer was a yes. How could some one stay on top of a stuffy mountain for so long and not want to stretch their wings?
