{He is observing the statues of those who have disappeared. A blue light emanates from his fingertips and he directs it at the statues. After a moment, he pulls his power back into himself.}

What became of them, do you think? These forms, at least, are not them as far as I can tell.

{At the feet of each statue, he places small wooden tablets - carved by his hands.}

If they have died, their souls have fled. They are now part of the great wheel of reincarnation.

Or else they have returned to their homes. That is the outcome I hope for most.

Neither can I. {Yet there is a problem with both theories.} I can't imagine which god is powerful enough to trap me, however.

[baldrshand]

Sorry, are you saying that your powers are... godlike?

[heavensdragon]

I am a god. I reign over the night sky.

[baldrshand]

[UHHH.]

You are? [THAT IS. the only thing she can think to say. he seems 500% earnest about that.] My goodness. I've never met a god in person.

[heavensdragon]

You needn't fear me. {He adds softly.} My only desire is to keep everyone safe and help find a way home.

[baldrshand]

Don't worry. I'm not afraid. [She's met him, he's a healer... and he's a little awkward, although she's sure if she saw him in the 'true form' he mentioned at the clinic, he would be more at ease in himself.] I'm just surprised.

It must be very hard, to be separated from your own stars.

{Runyu has always been a bit awkward - even in Heaven. The trait doesn't disappear when he is a dragon, but at least he doesn't fully have to rely on words then. Most of his awkwardness stems from abuse.}

Yes, I miss them. I can't do anything here to help guide anyone.

[baldrshand]

...I understand that. [She feels the same about her children. Without her there to protect them, they are alone in a cutthroat world.] We have to trust that they're in good hands.

[heavensdragon]

There is no one else besides me. They must take care of themselves, I suppose.

{Maybe that's better. A part of him wonders.}
