so i've more or less dropped fgo because of well, you know, everything (but mainly because bhima wasn't added to the ssr ticket even though he's only story locked). but i am still developing my own fan arc complete with a roster of 16 new servants including:
surtr & shezmu (sabers),
the horned serpent & the hermetic order of the golden dawn (archers)
yggdrasil & charon (lancers)
hot piss lovecraft & dorian grey (casters),
ded moroz & eopsin (riders)
the cheshire cat & anansi (assassins)
lucifuge rofocale & olga of kiev (berserkers)
venus (totally not a pretender and pay no mind to the purple hair and blue toned skin in their second ascension, also don't ascend them to 3rd ascension, they're just a normal saberface),
and finally eden (alter-ego because it's literally every angel in a trench coat trying to sneak into an r rated movie).
anyways i designed one of them to specifically powercreep not-skadi because 1, quick needs it, and 2, not a fan of not-skadi so am fine wrecking her niche.
Holy shit that's such a stacked roster. Godspeed anon.

for @mythologicalnet event ► Korean Mythology  ► Eopsin
Eopsin is the goddess of the storage and wealth in Korean mythology and shamanism. She is one of the Gasin, or deities that protect the house. However, unlike other Gasin, who were believed to embody pots, paper, and other inanimate objects, Eopsin is special in that she appears in an animal form. This is because Koreans considered snakes and weasels, who ate mice and rats, holy.

Hello!
May I request a scenario regarding a gn!reader and the Salesman, in which his next target does not play a game with him for money, but information on a VIP of the Squid Game? He tries to pry more info out of the reader, but all they say is that the VIP who wears a golden deer mask has angered their boss, and repercussions are demanded. They will play the Saleman’s game of choice, but if they win, they want to hire him and utilize his connections to uncover their target’s last known location based on a ‘money trail’. If the reader loses, they will just have to find their target the hard way by winning the Squid Game.
Thank you so much and have a nice day!

⇢ your number one priority was your job and that would never change. even now, when you were face to face with the handsomest man you had ever seen, who was also making it incredibly difficult for you to do your job.
⇢ “come on, can’t you at least tell me why you want this information?” the business man asked with a light chuckle present in his begging.
⇢ “i just don’t think it’s any of your business,” your accent came through a bit strongly, before remembering yourself and adding at the end “sir.”
⇢ you were the second in command in the organization you worked for, directly under the supreme boss. your organization was spread throughout the world, even in the more difficult to reach places.
⇢ it was not a spot you were willing to lose over the inability to get information out of a man that carried origami in his briefcase
⇢ “just a hint?” the man jokingly begged. he was obviously finding this much more amusing than you were.
⇢ you had interrogated him about the location of a known sponsor of the games he was recruiting people for. the man in a deer mask, to be specific.
⇢ refusing to give much more information, you rolled your eyes and swiped your tongue over your teeth before sighing, “he’s made an enemy of my boss and needs to pay his debts.”
⇢ tired of this back and forth you looked down to the briefcase again and had an idea.
⇢ “you win and i’ll make your job easier. i win and you’ll do what will make my job easier.”
⇢ you already knew that losing would automatically mean you would have to join a killing game with a lower win rate than the hunger games but you were willing to risk it.

⇢ named for the korean goddess of storage and wealth, the perfect symbol for a bank. it was a bank for the powerful and wealthy. one of its many notorious clients was the deer vip.
⇢ he was known at the bank for being one of the more difficult clients, often skipping payments and indulging excessively. you had been tasked with ending this game of cat and mouse for good and bringing him in your boss.

i want to add some more on but it’s getting a bit long so i’m going to end it here for now. let me know if you have any ideas for a part two, i would love to hear them :) (goes for everyone, not just the original requester)

☾ . Ciertas voces aún se oyen hoy en día. Hombres y mujeres que repiten palabras de antaño, una historia ya contada por sus antepasados. Un mito casi tan antiguo como los mitos mismos, que se remonta a una época en la que los dioses aún castigaban a los humanos y los convertían en figuras que hoy en día sólo leemos en los libros.
☾ . No se saben muchos detalles sobre él, pero la historia ilustra lo suficiente al Errante. Algunos dicen que fue la primer alma que quedó atrapada entre la vida y la muerte. Otros hablan sobre el arduo trabajo que llevó a cabo en cuanto Eopsin, la diosa coreana de la riqueza, le encomendó la tarea de guiar a aquellas almas que no encontraran su final en el momento indicado. Sería él quien las ayudaría a completar su misión en la tierra dándoles el final al que todos llegamos tarde o temprano: la muerte. Uno que el Errante no lograría conseguir, siendo visto para algunos como un salvador. Alguien devoto al prójimo, que resignó su propio descanso eterno por cumplir la misión de sus dioses.
☾ . Pero toda moneda tiene dos caras y, así como la mayoría de las personas que cuentan la historia del Errante hablan sobre el regalo divino que le fue otorgado por la diosa Eopsin, otros no tan numerosos cuentan otra. Una más cruda en la que los dioses quedan una vez más en jaque pero quizás la que suena más verídica después de todo.
— When the wolves wear the wool, where do you run?
☾ . Dojung, como creen se llamaba el Errante, pertenecía a una familia pobre la cual entregaba constantemente ofrendas a la diosa de la fortuna. Los roedores, así como también las serpientes eran bienvenidas en su casa, siendo en ese entonces creencia que dichos animales eran la representación de Eopsin en la tierra que llegaba a llevarles riquezas. Las plagas acababan con su comida, rasgaban sus ropas y terminaban dejando a su familia aún más en la ruina, haciendo crecer dentro de Dojung el desprecio por la diosa que parecía ignorar cada pedido de sus padres y su hermana.
☾ . No fue hasta la edad de veinte años que Dojung cometió lo que sería el peor error de su vida, entrando a uno de los santuarios de la diosa y robándose sus ofrendas. Oro, joyas y cientos de monedas que fueron a parar a uno de los canastos que su madre había tejido a mano para darle la bienvenida a Eopsin en su hogar. Riquezas que llegaron a su casa de parte de Dojung, entregándoselas a sus progenitores exclamando que la diosa se le había manifestado para por fin ponerle fin a su sufrimiento.
— It’s an eye for an eye. I carve out yours, you carve out mine.
☾ . Esa misma noche, mientras su familia dormía, el fuego consumió su casa matando a todos… a excepción de él. Fue una serpiente la que mordió su pierna en cuanto las llamas llegaban a los pies de su cama, despertándolo del sueño profundo que acabaría con su vida. Brillantes como el oro, los ojos del reptil lo observaron profundamente por lo que parecieron horas mientras el fuego hacía cenizas todo a su alrededor. Todo menos él. Sentía el calor de las llamas, pero no parecían tener efecto alguno en su piel. Y lo único que podía ver entre el humo y las chispas, eran los áureos ojos que permanecieron frente a él hasta que la última llama se apagó. Y fue entonces, bajo el manto de la noche, rodeado de miseria y desolación, que una voz femenina le susurró al oído: “tu familia ha sido bendecida y no sufrirá de pobreza ni dolor. Estarán en paz. Pero tú no tendrás tu final. Todos olvidarán tu nombre y rondarás errante por la tierra. Verás la fortuna y la felicidad, pero serás incapaz de alcanzarlas. Servirás a las almas en desgracia y los ayudarás a marcharse, pero tú te quedarás aquí… para siempre”.
— Wanna paint a picture of me? All we need is gray. Sippin’ on some poison just because I like the taste. Tripping over skeletons, I wish you would’ve let them inside.
☾ . Desde entonces, cada cierto tiempo un alma no logra encontrar su camino hacia la muerte y el Errante aparece para guiarla. Viviendo entre el resto de los mortales, pero siendo visible sólo cuando lo desea. Quienes lo encuentran, terminan olvidándolo luego de un día sin verlo. Nadie recuerda su nombre, nadie recuerda su rostro. Deambula por el mundo sin hogar, sin familia. Existiendo de a ratos, cuando su mirada encuentra una ajena.
‧  ˖  ❛     〚    🍓    〛      𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙨     ╱
☾ . A diferencia de lo que muchos creerían al conocer su historia, su personalidad es bastante cordial. Ha logrado adaptarse a cada época que le tocó vivir y fue figura anónima en muchos acontecimientos a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad.
☾ . Se ha enamorado dos veces desde la maldición de Eopsin. La primera fue unos cincuenta años luego de ser maldecido, decidió permanecer junto a su pareja a diario. Logrando pasar el resto de su vida a su lado hasta verla morir. Pero la segunda vez —hace unos doscientos años— prefirió no hacerlo, recordando el sufrimiento por el que pasó luego de que su primer pareja falleciera.
☾ . Los animales pueden verlo con facilidad sin necesidad de que se manifieste ante ellos, siendo estos sus fieles compañeros cada tanto.
☾ . No encuentra almas errantes muy a menudo. Suele haber un tiempo de setenta o cien años entre una y otra, por lo que pasa la mayor parte de su existencia sin demasiado que hacer. Inmiscuyéndose en la vida de los mortales y, cada tanto, fingiendo tener una.

Vaqone’s Soul Bearing Races (Plus Dragons)
Bard’s Note: One last post (for now) regarding Vaqone from @theshapeshifter100​! Everyone give her a huge thank-you for her incredible creativity and dedication to this AU, as always! For reference, this link is currently the most efficient way to find lore on Vaqone until I finish overhauling the lore organization on tumblr (although it may not be up-to-date at time of posting), and this post has everything you need to know about the concept of soul-bearing races and changelings. 
Summary
In addition to humans and human changelings, there are six (currently, could change) known soul bearing sentient races that populate the continent of Vaqone: 
The Kokkil and their changelings, the Baem
The Eopsin and their changelings, the Naga
The Kirin and  their changelings, the Kirae
(Descriptions of each race below the cut)
Kokkil and Baem
The most well-known beyond Vaqone, the Kokkil and their changelings the Baem are the most recognizable beings with souls in Vaqone. 
Name Origin: 
The name Kokkil is the Common name for them, not their native name, and is similar the Haneul (cough, Korean) word for elephant, since that is what they resemble. 
Kokkil Changelings are called Baem in Common, again from the Haneul word for snake and is vaguely similar to the Common word bone, if you squint.
Appearance: 
They have a wider variation in colour and patterns to irl elephants, from pale yellow to black to dark green, with dappling and striped patterns, more obvious in young Kokkil. Their size varies depending on their common stomping grounds, those that live near forests are a little smaller for example. They tend to range between 8-11 feet tall at the shoulder.
The Baem look rather like snakes and are more solitary than Kokkil. They however aren’t quite as flexible as snakes and don’t move as quickly. The tusk makes up most of their body, the broad end having the head and the narrow end the tail. The head pokes out the end with a covering of tusk over the top of the head. The body is segmented to allow movement.
Social Behavoir:
Kokkil are prolific travellers and wanderers, and don’t really care about human notions of borders, they will go where they go. They keep to large family groups, with a matriarch leading the way. While very secretive regarding their magical records (described below,) they do offer their services as history and lore keepers with other races, in exchange for unusual food and interesting goods. They’re pretty self sufficient and rarely need to trade with other races.
Baem are usually found among the Kokkil, having different roles among the groups. Kokkil are good at heavy lifting, some delicate tasks, and remembering. While Braem are good at organising and retrieving, they all work together. Elder Baem aren’t so easily found on the surface, it’s rumoured that they go to where the records are stored to act as librarians of sorts, but since no one but Kokkil and Braem go there, no one else can confirm.
Magic: 
Their tusks are their physical magical focus, so when their Changelings come about, that’s the base of their form. They tend to use their magic to mostly keep magical records, which are stored in a location that Kokkil know but aren’t willing to share, even with the most earnest of human scholars. It has been theorised to be in the desert somewhere, given the nature of ruins being impossible to find again.
Eopsin and Naga
Eopsin and their changelings Naga aren’t as widely seen or open with outsiders.
Appearance:
Eopsin look almost entirely like large snakes of various colours, easily the size of an irl anaconda. The only clear difference between them and mundane snakes are human like ears, which can be folded back against their heads for ease of movement.
Naga are consistent with many of their modern iteration, lower half snake, upper half human, with scales going up their arms and onto their face. Variety of colours, tend to be somewhat solitary or in small family groups. Usually there only one or two Naga young to a couple at a time, and they remain with their parents until adulthood.
Social Behavoir: 
The Eopsin tend to be solitary and avoid other races, the only exception being when they hatch. They hatch in large nests where a parent will bring food and teach them magic for the first few weeks.  They don’t have a physical focus, but most of them having a decent focus before they leave the nest. They mostly use their magic to act as their fine motor function and branch out from there. Eopsin are most commonly found in the forest and in the desert.
Naga are found in roughly the same place as Eopsin, with appropriate colouration and adaptations, although the two rarely cross paths. Many Naga use magic, quite enjoying the mysterious nature it gives them. They enjoy illusions especially, but are more mischievous than malicious, be a good sport and they’ll be fine with you.
Naga are somewhat reverent of Eopsin, the latter being closer to nature than the former can be.
Kirin and Kirea
While Kirin tend to keep to themselves, their changelings the Kirea are one of the most commonly sighted non-humanoid soul-bearing races seen in Vaqone. 
Appearance
Kirin stand around 150-180cm at the shoulder, with the body shape of a deer, but instead of fur, they have scales in a variety of colours. Some are big and bold, the colours of gems and precious metals, while some are more natural colours. They can enchant their own scales to change colour. They have a ruffed mane like a lion, mostly fur but they tend to put feathers in them. A tail like a lion, cloven hooves and a pair of curved antlers, which branch out into two points and are a physical magical focus.
Kirea are their Changelings, and look like small dogs with a neck ruff of fur. The antlers tend to cover the fore and hind limbs and torso, so new Kirea tend to move stiffly and have bare antler as a form of exoskeleton, with a head sticking out. As they get older the antler begins to break and shift, revealing skin and flesh, and bright fur growing up in the new gaps. They tend to only reach a metre or so in height.
Social Behavoir
Kirin are considered wise and knowledgeable, and they like to cultivate that reputation. This also makes them rather haughty and aloof to other races, but they will happily work with someone in a tit for tat kind of way. I do this for you, you do this for me.
They tend to be in large herds, but anyone deliberately seeking them out will usually only find the leader or the wisest. They tend to have ranges in the countries along the southern and western coasts.
Kirea are less haughty and very playful, more than happy to venture into human settlements, Naga nests, or Eospin nests, or otherwise follow Kokkil to play and rough house. Older Kirea tend to be a bit calmer, but still tend to embody ‘here for a good time’
Kirin, being as haughty as they are, generally pity their Changelings and look after them. Kirin will let them ride on their back, although the phenomenon has rarely been seen. It messes with the wise and mysterious image after all.
Dragons
During the Dragon War some dragons fled in the direction of Vaqone. However, dragons are not built for that kind of long distance travel and most of them would not have made it. The ones that did would have left quite the impression on the collective psyche of the people of Vaqone. Massive creatures no one had ever seen before flying over and crashing spectacularly. Given the rumours and legends, it’s assumed that a couple of dragons got as far north as the lake and even desert, before crash landing. From there they most likely died of mostly exhaustion, combined with injuries of crash landing, and the one that fell in the lake probably drowned.
That said, the modern depiction of dragons in Vaqone is vastly different than the ones that originally flew from Tirónar. This is likely down to a number of factors, including: 
The prominence of snakes in the continent. 
Oral storytelling and the natural variance that comes with retelling. 
The wing bones of found dragon skeletons are likely damaged irreparably or so crushed that they couldn’t be found. 
The most similar creatures to dragons in Vaqone are Kirin.
Thanks to the combination of these factors, dragons depicted in Vaqone are much more serpent like, either lacking wings or having small wings, with manes or ruffs of feathers like Kirin. Additionally, they are more often associated with water rather than fire, possibly because the dragons may have arrived on the continent around the same time as the annual monsoons. 
However, because of all this, there are a handful of King’s Eyes roaming around, although with a different name. There’s definitely one in and around the lake, somewhere. It remains elusive, sparking rumours when glimpsed. Other King’s Eyes may also be on the coast or on the coastal islands. Additionally, while most sentient races of Vaqone are completely unaware of its existance, the Kokkil and Baem know of a specific King’s Eye that resides where they store their records.
Trivia
Kokkil, Baem and Kirae are beings that I ( @theshapeshifter100​ ) completely made up, Naga, Eopsin and Kirin are all mythological creatures and beings that exist in our word.
Kokkil is a slight change from the anglicised (from google translate) Korean word for elephant, which is anglicised as Kokkili. Baem has not been changed from the google translate anglicisation.

Just Right. (Got7 AU) Ep. 3
Tumblr media
We’re skipping back to your POV. You’re getting ready for your performance.
A phone screen was shoved in your face, "Dad wants to talk to you." Gun said with a pleased tone. You glanced to the make-up artist who was hiding the pink in your skin with blueish grey, "One moment please," you asked as you took the phone. He nodded and stepped away to give you a little privacy. "Dad?" You asked politely while taking in your transformation. You looked like you had just stepped out of a warring fairy vs. demon manga. Your navy hair was styled in soft beach waves with random braids through out. It was tugged into a half up, half down situation. The purple circle lens weren't only making your eyes itch. They were freaking you out. Your dad's voice ripped you out of your thoughts. "Inez-Mi," his dad tone gave away everything. 1.) He was livid. 2.) He was about to pull out his I'm-in-charge card. 3.) You were fucked. "You are going to do as I say without complain and without faltering even a step." You looked away from your reflection and up to Gun's satisfied face, annoyed. "It wasn't as horrific as Gun had explained." You offered in your defense. "Do not interrupt me!" He yelled. You narrowed your new creepy eyes on Gun and mouthed I'm going to kill you. He got the messaged and took a half step back. "You will offer your gold cuff while making a promise of protection from yourself and others. You will extend your hand and kiss the palm while bowing deeply to JB." "What!" You leapt out of the make-up chair keeping your eyes fixed on Gun, "No." You snapped in English. "The reverse offering is for a Temple not some prick I already said sorry too." "You will do as you are told." He growled in Hangul. "It is arranged." Click. You briefly glanced at the screen to see if he had really hung up on you. Yep. Your eyes returned to Gun. Tears of rage threatened to ruin your make-up. You looked up to the ceiling while extending your hand with his phone in it. He reached out to grab it but You let it slip from your fingers. The loud hollow crunch of metal and cracking of glass might've made you smile in any other situation. "Was that necessary?" Song-I annoyingly high voice demanded. She walked further into the green room tent in her modern take of the Korean Goddess, Hae-Soo. She gracefully sat herself in a chair. You were about to comment on Song-I existence not being necessary when Gun spoke up, "Nyx's eyes aren't used to her contacts." He knelt and snatched his phone off the floor. He expected it carefully as he rose. "It'll take time." "Like everything else," Song-I huffed. Her honey brown eyes fixed on You. Ignoring her, You finally looked at your reflection. Everything was still in place. You sat back in the chair. The make-up artist came back over to finish his masterpiece. It only took another twenty minutes before he was done. He slid the last layer of black liquid lipstick across your pouters lips. "Try not to smile or bump your lips together until it dries," he advised with a smile. You bowed to him in thanks. "Goddess's don't bow to mere mortals," he joked as he stepped aside so You could see your reflection. You completely forgot what he had told you as you took yourself in. Your mouth dropped open. You were unrecognizable. You looked like one of those gorgeous slightly scary fae warriors. The shire navy/purple fabrics which cuffed your wrists and draped up to your shoulders of your Greek Goddess costume caught the light beautifully. Your costume played with the fine line of feminine and warrior. If Xena and Disneys Hades had a baby, it would look just like you. All the gold accents were silver expect the wide hammered cuff arm bracelet. A crescent moon was engraved in its center. You tilted your head side to side to take it all in. Your smile was so white compared to your skin. You suddenly wished you had snap in fangs. Maybe next time. "Don't forget this." You turned to see Minyoung in her Eopsin costume with Nyx's crown in her gold painted hands. Her red gown and hair pin were far more traditional than Song-I’s Hae-Soo. You bent low at the knees to help Eopsin place the crown on your head. It was less of a laurel wreath and more of a delicate silver tiara with a crescent moon dangling just above the middle of your brows. There were deep sapphires and obsidian placed in all the right places. Once it was clipped in, You rose with a soft smile touching your lips, "Thank you." "Five minutes!" A random staff member called. Your purple gaze glanced around the room, "Sayuri (Venus) and Suelin (Mazu) where are you?" Authority deepened your voice. The two missing goddesses rushed into the tent. They exchanged an odd look with Hea-Soo (Song-I). "Please." You motioned for everyone to come to the middle of the tent. "Even staff." Your black gladiator sandals walked to the center of the forming crowd. You couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Hea-Soo (song-i) and a few staff members who stayed where they were. "I want to thank you all so much for your time and energy. Goddess wouldn't exist without your determination, patience, and kindness. I will not let you down!" You called over the hum of excitement forming in the tent. Hea-soo (song-i) stood saying something under her breath and left. You arched a well manicured navy brow in suspicion. But the excitement of the tent spilled over you. "Fighting!" You wrapped your right arm around Mazu (Suelin) shoulders, who grabbed Venus's (Sayuri), who motioned for Eopsin (Minyoung). Eopsin (minyoung) came through the crowd to the center. She let Venus (sayuri) captured her with one arm while the other caught hold of your waist. You bowed forward, "Thank you." You whispered to your members. "Mazu remember to take a long breath on the second chorus." Mazu nodded. Your eyes moved to Venus, "Don't let Hae-soo steal your light." You tried to be firm, but causal. "She isn't our sun." "Two minutes!" You smiled to Eopsin, "Fighting?" "Fighting." They broke the circle with a loud fighting. You led the way out of the tent. The stylist team tweaked all of your costumes as Goddess approached the stage. Hae-soo fell into line at the last possible second. You narrowed your eyes on her. She was going to have to be put in her place. So Stupid, you thought annoyed.   JYP walked past Goddess with a nod of approval. Everyone bowed deeply. He stopped just in front of you. He took in your revealing costume with greedy eyes, "Ready?" He asked plainly. You rose from your bow and met his eyes, "We shall do our best." "Let's hope so." He commented dryly as he scaled the steps and found his mark on the stage. The spot light followed him to where he was standing, "Hello everyone," he smiled. The buzz of the crowd turned into a roar. You looked to Hae-Soo making sure she hadn't run off again. She was still there. "Oh...the sun is setting." JYP's voice took on an awed tone. What an actor, You thought sarcastically as he continued to introduce them. Eopsin, Hae-soo, Mazu then Venus flowed to the stage with a calmness that only experience offered. They spoke to Temple and the press. The staff ushered you to a platform under the stage that would spring you up and out from the darkest part. You were to land in the middle under a beam of purple light. The sun was just dipping under the Han river when a random staff member cued you. A smile took over your features while you crouched down. The mechanics let loose, jolting you up and out. You landed in a super hero stance a few centimeters from the edge of the stage as if the platform was wired to fling you into the crowd.
The crowd screamed with excitement.
You slowly rose to your full height. The purple beam rushed to light your silhouette. You tried to be un-faze, but your heart was suddenly sputtering from fear. "Who dare summon the Goddess of Night and Mother of the most gruesome Monsters?!" You yelled in Hangul to the crowd and whipped around to your fellow members. Venus was under a pink light and Hae-soo was under yellow. They both flinched back scared while Mazu under white stepped forward, "Sister," she slightly bowed, "we summoned you." The other Goddesses followed suit. "Why?" you growled low into your mic. Eopsin's red beam of light shifted as she rose from her bow with a sad expression, "We need you. We need guidance and protection." She stepped forward. "We lost Hera." Venus offered remembering her line. Venus refused to look at you. You walked towards Hae-Soo and stopped just before your beam of light touched Hers. You cocked your head to the side. "A Goddess of the Sun, of Love, of Wealth, and a Queen of the Heavens."  You looked to all the Goddesses with little interest. You turned to the crowd and slowly strolled to the spot where you were supposed to land. "Shall I aid them?" You asked sincerely. "Do they deserve my protection?" You crouched down towards the crowd whispering into your mic. You looked over your shoulder suspiciously to the Goddesses. Temple was cheering yes. ”They do...?" You asked doubtful. Your eyes moved back to the crowd, "What of my Guidance? Do they deserve it?" Temple screamed yes. "As you wish my Temple." You said reluctantly and with such disdain. The music was cued. The five beams of light shot out to the crowd. They landed on random Temples expect Yours. Yours was bulls eyed on JB’s chest who was of course at the back. Luckily the beams were scattered so it didn't look like yours was too deliberate. The stage lights were switched off. You slowly stood up. The other Goddesses exited the stage the way they had entered. The lights were flicked back to life. To an empty stage besides you. You walked to the edge of the stage and did a front flip off. You landed just in front of the barrier. Temple gasped and awed at your little trick. You hopped over the metal barrier with four body guard in tow. They were dress as monsters with gore prostatic and black cloaks covering their clothes. The crowd gladly parted for you, the other Goddess's and their guards on their way to their randomly picked Temples.
