The real power behind countless overlords



We're too emotionally exhausted to be anything but calm. Besides, its peaceful up here. No one screaming, nobody getting eaten, nobody hungry, nobody trying to beat us. Just nice gray clouds. It's very calming really. Quite nice if you take the time to think about it.


I really wanted to vote T, but I got to vote the crazy option last time, so I'll vote the character building one this time.

The nonbelievers and demon worshipers refuse to see it, but the undeniable truth is that El has always been looking out for us since the day we were born. Jalitha's stories are true; her sky giants exist, they saved us from our abusive fake dad and the cannibal tribe he was a part of. Even after we made the biggest mistake of our short life so far, they haven't given up on us yet. In our moment of despair El sent forth a protector to shield us from the physical manifestation of hunger and death. It is El's will only that decides whether we live or die, his angels will see to it. If this is where we are supposed to die then we should not struggle, we should accept the fate that El has set out for us. Considering that El bothered to personally send an angel after us, he likely does not intend for us to die here. We should trust El, close our eyes, relax, and listen to air as it rushes past us. This is a ride that can only be enjoyed once in a lifetime; it'd be a waste of an experience if we were to shout, scream and cry all the way down.

Once we're back on solid ground, we should thank our angelic savior and the man who employs him.

If we dont die we'll probably be exiled, by the way, for using demon magic. Unless the El people are Ned Flanders level of forgiving.

We don't need to be calm, but well we're not going to die. We were just saved by Smattas&Maranal, they aren't going to let us fall to death after all that.

We honestly believe this (it's like the stories ya know).

Even though our upbringing was harsh and not the happiest it did make us strong. We might have seen our father die, we may have almost been overwhelmed by unnatural hunger and are currently plummeting towards the ground and all but certain death, but we're not going to give up. We're not going to sob and scream, we're going to face what's happening like a man. You can't imagine Enkidu ever panicking in the face of danger. If this is the end so be it, but you'll face it like a hero.

Smattas already did his part to save us. Now we need a sky giant who can fly. Like, say, Xuriel.

AJ: I think it fits the character. More seriously, sure, we're utterly exhausted now; terror, hunger, confusion, panic, we've been emotionally abused to an extreme by these events. We have no idea what's going on, there's no sense to this situation any longer, we just can't muster up any more panic, and now that the hunger has suddenly abated, leaving only a gaping emptiness where it once was, there's nothing left to do but revel is the sheer mind-boggling unlikeliness of this situation. For at least a few moments, we're just going to bask in the fact that we're hurling through the air, falling with a legendary hero who just spoke with angels and summoned a storm to free us from the grips of HUNGER personified. We're consorting with heroes and legends and angels and monsters, and wow, isn't that something.

Voting this.

We're fresh out of fear,we burned through our fear stockpile a few seconds ago. Either we're about to be saved, in which case we have nothing to worry about, or we're about to fall out of a divine thunderstorm and smash into a regenerating titan-spawned dinosaur at terminal velocity, in which case we're far beyond worrying about anything.

Either way, what we're about to do will likely be one of the most badass things in the history of things, so let's go with it.
