Not ALL of it, but no lies per se

As you begin to panic, it seems you are active enough to disturb the resting Sahara on top of you. She mumbles to herself a bit as she readjusts, nuzzling into your chest as if to try and wordlessly tell you to be still.

You give her a soft head pat as you consider what you should do. Looking down at her, you don't feel like you can truly take the risk of sharing everything like you did before. After all, it's not just your "life" that you are putting on the line anymore.

Taking a deep breath more to calm yourself then out of any biological process, you reenter the message board.

{Endless_Maw of Nwodpeed} It would seem your judgement was correct Lylanith

{Final_Throne} I suppose so, thank you sir.

{Final_Throne} Netherus? Are you still here?

{Netherus} Yes! I was just trying to figure out what was going on.

{Death_Bringer of Ssybaeht} Aren't we all?

{Endless_Maw of Nwodpeed} Finally someone else in the council decided to show up

{Death_Bringer of Ssybaeht} Don't get all self-important just because you happened to be the one who showed up first. Some of us actually have things to do when we aren't on daycare duty.

{Gold_Hoarder of Yticgib} Play nice you two, this is going to be both of your first World events after getting this far. I would hope you don't mess up and get replaced already.

You lay in silence, wondering what you should do. Absolutely under no circumstances do you want to interrupt a group of what seem to be world level bosses, the type that rule a whole region of your continent.

So, you decide to simply sit, wait, and keep reading until you are requested once more.

{Endless_Maw of Nwodpeed} don't worry Gold_Hoarder, I won't be leaving any time soon. Not after having to claw myself all the way back up again.

{Gold_Hoarder of Yticgib} Fair enough I suppose.

{Death_Bringer of Ssybaeht} So, we have one branch of the event active, right? That means we probably don't know what the theme is yet.

{Gold_Hoarder of Yticgib} Correct, and assuming wrong is what cost us a lot of good council members during the last event. We acted in haste thinking we would lessen the impact, but in fact made it worse.

{Endless_Maw of Nwodpeed} So then, let us simply go over what we do know. Netherus, what all do the messages say?

{Netherus} Not too much more than I said before. Both are near identical, with the main difference being flavor text. both adventurers and monsters can build shrines to assist in their respective returns, as well as destroy them. You also can give offerings at them to get power in exchange for giving them more power when they get back.

{Endless_Maw of Nwodpeed} Is that all?

{Netherus} Indeed. The descriptions end after that. No information of milestones, rewards, or anything of the sort.

{Gold_Hoarder of Yticgib} I thank you for your contributions then, you are free to leave.

{Death_Bringer of Ssybaeht} Though do heed our summons if we call for you again.

You most certainly do not need to be told twice. You quickly left the message room, under the impression that if anything you need to know is discussed, you will be informed of it. Your hands are visibly shaking as you clutch Sahara for emotional support.

She seems to take note of your shaky hands, looking up at you with a concerned expression. Trying to think of a way to reassure her without speaking, you decide to use your new expanded facial features. Attempting to lift the edges of your mouth into a smile, you see her face immediately lighten up, but not in the way you intended.

Barely holding in laughter, she manages to get out a few sentences. "You really haven't smiled before, huh? For now, how about you just practice and not try that in front of anyone new, okay? Not that you don't look great, but it doesn't quite give off the desired effect."

Letting out a sigh, you start to sit yourself up to get yourself back in a working mindset. It seemed the Gods were quite set on not giving you too much idle time, so you had to get back to it as long as you wanted to keep your current lead on the impending disaster that is a World event.

As you sit ponderingly, Sahara puts her clothing on once more. As much as you would love to keep seeing her nude form, you can understand that it probably would be uncomfortable to sit anywhere around without proper apparel. You yourself had seemingly permanent wraps, which only moved around but never truly came off.

With her pants and top back on, Sahara plops down next to you before leaning on your side. "So... What else can your new form do? Aside from speaking a fancy rune language and..." She blushes intensely, "R-rocking my whole w-world?"

You pause for a moment as you process what she said. You... didn't actually have an answer to that. Hell, you didn't even know what you were now. You facepalm as you realize just how quickly you had gotten completely sidetracked from your evolution by your very enjoyable distraction with Sahara.

It seems she was able to tell as well thanks to your reaction, "You uh-you didn't get to check before we-you know, did you?" She had an apologetic expression with a slightly less dramatic blush. "Well, I suppose there is no time like the present, huh?" She gave a slight nervous chuckle as you both tried to move on from the slightly awkward fact.

Personally, you could not agree more as you open your character sheet to see what you have in store.
