I'm your...


The bloody battlefield around Saradush melted in a gleaming flash of light, only to be replaced by the equally cheery scenery of the abyssal pocket plane. A solar was awaiting Didoreth's arrival, just like last time.

"I greet you, you who are of divine blood," the solar began, but was rudely interrupted.

"Why did you drag me here again?!" Didoreth shouted at the shimmering blue figure.

If the celestial was taken aback by the outburst, it did not show it. "You have been brought to this place because you are ready, god-child," it said in its smooth yet resonant voice. "The first step towards the fulfillment of your destiny has been taken. Yaga-Shura is dead by your hand, and the forces in play now move swiftly toward conclusion. Now you must know yourself and your past to reveal your future. Listen and be judged."

Didoreth rolled her eyes at the solar. "Well, what if I don't care to be judged? By you or by anyone?"

A slight crease crossed the solar's lips; if she didn't know better, Didoreth would have sworn it had smiled.

"I am not the judge here today. You shall test yourself," it said. "To look upon oneself and ask, 'What is my nature?' one must know one's origin. Your own origin is a mystery to you, god-child. You have no beginning... and without a beginning, how can there be an ending?"

"Well, if you put it that way, I guess I'll either die when I'm too old and doddering to recognize my surroundings anymore, or I won't die at all. Either way, I don't mind."

The solar continued unabated. "What do you know of your birth? What do you know of your mother, of your life before Gorion brought you to the safety of Candlekeep?"

"You know, perhaps if you were mortal you'd know that babies generally don't remember much of anything! "

"Your past unfolds. You would do well to heed it closely." The solar stepped aside and vanished, and a new figure appeared.

"Gorion!" Didoreth exclaimed happily. She ran towards the figure and threw her arms around him. I don't care if it's not really really him; I'm allowed to pretend for a while, I think.

The representation of Gorion hugged her back and smiled warmly at her. "Dear child, it is so good to see you, even if it is on such an occasion."

"The solar was going on about my beginning..."

"Yes. It is time you knew the truth. You are a clever girl, Didoreth; I know you understand what I am. Know that I will not lie to you."

"I understand," Didoreth said.

"Now, you remember the letter I left for you in Candlekeep, I am sure. It spoke of your mother and her fate, and it spoke of the being that fathered you."

The girl nodded.

"I... did not share everything about your mother. I even lied on some counts, I am ashamed to admit. We were never lovers, and she did not die in childbirth."

Didoreth gasped. "She didn't? But... why did she leave me? Is she still alive somewhere? What happened?"

The representation of Gorion smiled wistfully at her.

"Did I ever mention that I once owned a girdle of gender?"

I'm your...


The bloody battlefield around Saradush melted in a gleaming flash of light, only to be replaced by the equally cheery scenery of the abyssal pocket plane. A solar was awaiting Didoreth's arrival, just like last time.

I always hated getting snatched away immediately. I always wanted to finish the army and loot first.

"I greet you, you who are of divine blood," the solar began, but was rudely interrupted.

"Why did you drag me here again?!" Didoreth shouted at the shimmering blue figure.

She wasn't so homesick was she?

If the celestial was taken aback by the outburst, it did not show it. "You have been brought to this place because you are ready, god-child," it said in its smooth yet resonant voice. "The first step towards the fulfillment of your destiny has been taken. Yaga-Shura is dead by your hand, and the forces in play now move swiftly toward conclusion. Now you must know yourself and your past to reveal your future. Listen and be judged."

Actually I would have to argue here Solar. I would say the first step would be Sarevok. Or if you mean in ToB then killing Illasara the quick.

Didoreth rolled her eyes at the solar. "Well, what if I don't care to be judged? By you or by anyone?"

A slight crease crossed the solar's lips; if she didn't know better, Didoreth would have sworn it had smiled.

She doesn't know better. It is a smile.

"I am not the judge here today. You shall test yourself," it said. "To look upon oneself and ask, 'What is my nature?' one must know one's origin. Your own origin is a mystery to you, god-child. You have no beginning... and without a beginning, how can there be an ending?"

"Well, if you put it that way, I guess I'll either die when I'm too old and doddering to recognize my surroundings anymore, or I won't die at all. Either way, I don't mind."

She really does love the solar doesn't she.

The solar continued unabated.

As usual. If it listened I think people would like it more.

"What do you know of your birth? What do you know of your mother, of your life before Gorion brought you to the safety of Candlekeep?"

"You know, perhaps if you were mortal you'd know that babies generally don't remember much of anything! "

:) :) :)

"Gorion!" Didoreth exclaimed happily. She ran towards the figure and threw her arms around him. I don't care if it's not really really him; I'm allowed to pretend for a while, I think.

Finally something good. Though I know where this is going now. Just what I had in mind.

The representation of Gorion hugged her back and smiled warmly at her. "Dear child, it is so good to see you, even if it is on such an occasion."

"The solar was going on about my beginning..."

The proper statement would be "The solar was going on and on and on and on and on..."

"Yes. It is time you knew the truth. You are a clever girl, Didoreth; I know you understand what I am. Know that I will not lie to you."

"I understand," Didoreth said.

Oh dears. I just know it.

"Now, you remember the letter I left for you in Candlekeep, I am sure. It spoke of your mother and her fate, and it spoke of the being that fathered you."

The girl nodded.

"I... did not share everything about your mother. I even lied on some counts, I am ashamed to admit. We were never lovers, and she did not die in childbirth."

In fact she settled down for several years, raising a child. A little girl.

Didoreth gasped. "She didn't? But... why did she leave me? Is she still alive somewhere? What happened?"

The representation of Gorion smiled wistfully at her.

"Did I ever mention that I once owned a girdle of gender?"

And just what I had in mind. Gorion had some troubles with everyone's favorite girdle. I guess I'll have to sneak something else in then.

A very enjoyable read Cel.

Very sorry for accidently editing. Did I get it back to the original.

I always hated getting snatched away immediately. I always wanted to finish the army and loot first.


And that solar never ever had good timing, and never noticed if you complained about the timing. Actually, it never listened to you at all.


"I greet you, you who are of divine blood," the solar began, but was rudely interrupted.

"Why did you drag me here again?!" Didoreth shouted at the shimmering blue figure.

She wasn't so homesick was she?


Not for this place, at least :wink:

I'd say the first step would be either leaving Candlekeep, or the first Dream.

Well, the solar is an ass... guess who won't be part of her staff when she ascends.


The solar continued unabated.


As usual. If it listened I think people would like it more.


In some ways it makes sense to have the solar so separated from mortal concerns that it cannot interact with mortals, but it doesn't make it less annoying.

Heck, scratch that bit about Didoreth ascending. I don't think she'd want to spend her days hanging out with *any* celestials, with or without a love interest to hold her back :roll:

"What do you know of your birth? What do you know of your mother, of your life before Gorion brought you to the safety of Candlekeep?"

I considered sending you a PM yesterday to ask if you were thinking what I was thinking, but decided to just write the thing instead :P

The representation of Gorion hugged her back and smiled warmly at her. "Dear child, it is so good to see you, even if it is on such an occasion."

"The solar was going on about my beginning..."


The proper statement would be "The solar was going on and on and on and on and on..."


:wink: True, that.

"Yes. It is time you knew the truth. You are a clever girl, Didoreth; I know you understand what I am. Know that I will not lie to you."

"I understand," Didoreth said.


Oh dears. I just know it.

Thank you :lol: I was a bit worried about the lack of original text, but the solar's lines are just too dull and too fitting for me to alter them.

It listened to me once. I think I was asking where I was/

I guess it probably wouldn't work huh? But even without Love interests, there's still Immy, and Sarry to stay for.

It works either way.

I wouldn't have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you stupid writers, and your dumb story.

They do fit well. And like I said it came out wonderfully.

In online games where most word names are taken already, I've used names taken from astronomy and lately added names from Welsh (I love naming characters Siocled) My most original name is Serrata, which I use a lot for sword-type characters... it's really half the name of an area inside the human eye :roll:

I was about 10 chapters in on my long story when I realized Ember's name probably wasn't the best (even though I never intended to have her live up to it) as no other characters have pure word names. So, in the distant future, I'll present a made up reason for it :wink:

The solar continued unabated. "What do you know of your birth? What do you know of your mother, of your life before Gorion brought you to the safety of Candlekeep?"


"You know, perhaps if you were mortal you'd know that babies generally don't remember much of anything! "


I think it’s for the best, too. I certainly would not want to remember the details of my own birth. *shudder*

The representation of Gorion smiled wistfully at her.


"Did I ever mention that I once owned a girdle of gender?"


Ooooookaaaayyyyyy… *feels a bit sick*

Fun twist, though. :twisted:
