This is a place to send your prayers to the Fourth god. He may not always respond, or he may respond in ways you don’t expect, but he is always listening.
Speak, he hears you.
OOC note: As of April 2020, threads with the gods will be capped at three NPC replies! Please keep this in mind when writing god prayers to make sure you get everything you need out of the thread.It’s also possible to handwave prayers by titling your comment HANDWAVED PRAYER. Handwaved prayers lack our usual flourish, but you can expect a faster response!
As of February 2024, god prayers will be handwaved only. Please only submit a prayer if you have a question for either god which needs answering in order to progress your character's arc within Ryslig. If this is something you need to tier up within the god boon system, or just to set up a player plot in general, please don't hesitate to submit a prayer about it! You may shorten it down to an OOC summary of what your character is asking. This will allow any of our helper mods to reply much faster, without having to dig into the specifics of either god's personality/writing quirks. Should this limitation be lifted again in the future, this note will be removed.

[In fact, for a moment it's almost as if the voice was speaking through a smile before sounding less human once again.]
You asked for proof, and offered devotion.
[The lights dim again, though they still seem to banish shadows, even without a startling brightness. ]
You want to help me fight her. That's good. You've seen what war takes, isn't that right?
no subject
[There's no hesitation.
He wonders if the Fourth God - who or whatever he really is - already knows all about him. He thinks it perhaps likely that the Fog God 'chose' them somehow, for one reason or another. If she has access to information, why shouldn't it make sense that he might too?]
A decade ago, it was. More than that. But I will never forget. I came into it willingly and I did what I must to be victorious.
no subject
[There's a pause, and the hiss of static returns, and that echo of a ringing explosion begins again. It's low, just loud enough that it begins to itch at the back of Lucius' mind and hearing. ]
First, Lucius. Before we're friends. Is there anything she could do to make you deny me?
[There's a pause, and the God sounds as if it's choosing it's words as it speaks, gaining that little bit of humanity as it continues.]
It's okay. You can tell me. I wont get mad. I like honesty best.
no subject
No. He doesn't think there's any way the Fourth could have gotten this information from somebody Lucius has talked to. So. His intuition must have been right on the money.]
Is there any--? No. No, I promise, I swear to you, there is not.
[He's startled by the question but his answer is firm. Adamant. At his side one hand tightly works into a fist. The hand that should be clutching his wizard's wand.]
I will not take anything from the likes of her. Not after what has been done to me, at her hands. I have my pride.
no subject
[The god sounds pleased, that ringing sound leaving in an instant. The static seems to stay, though it's more of a low hum than anything actually troublesome. ]
I know there is one loyalty you will never break, but I'd never ask you to. That one's the most important.
[Strangely, the god's voice sounds more warm, more personable as it speaks.]
If they're brought here, I'll protect them, too. She likes to bring people from places she's already found. I can't stop that yet, my friend.
no subject
Maybe it's only that his mind refuses to contemplate the possibility. His family, brought here. He's not sure what's more horrifying the thought of them seeing them like this or knowing that it would happen to them too.]
...No! She can't. Not Narcissa. Not Draco.
no subject
[The God does sound it, for what it's worth.]
She's been known to do things like that. And since you're a friend, I feel like someone should tell you that it's a possibility.
[It continues on in that near human tone, more inflection as it continues.]
It might not be them. It might just be....people you've heard of. Or known. But many of my friends have had people they love brought here. And then some of them have been taken away.
no subject
He misses his loved ones but the thought of them here, suffering with him, makes him so upset bile threatens to churn up in his throat.]
There are few people that I love. I can think of many that I would name enemy.
[Lucius has plenty of allies, perhaps, but it's all about money and power. Here where he has nothing, he'd either be ignored or turned on. And that's not even touching on blood traitors or fools like Albus Dumbledore.]
It...it doesn't matter though. So long as they aren't here. If that changes... [Since he honestly doesn't know what to do, his voice drops to a mutter.] I'll worry about that later.
no subject
[The voice becomes mechanized again, more level and even.]
You know better than many of my friends what war means. And how to fight one.
Do you think you can help teach them? Someone needs to.
no subject
He's buoyed even more by what the voice asks next. For this is like what he's used to, as well.]
I've noticed that some of the others, they seem a bit...kind. Not schooled perhaps in the rougher ways of the world.
[He can be a general, a leader. Yes. This is the kind of active role that in a way he needs.]
My lord...it would be my absolute pleasure.
no subject
[There is a pause, and as the God continues the static grows again under it's words.]
But the darker things get, and the more we face those who have pledged themselves to her, the more we'll need your kind of strength.
[There's another pause, and the God seems...pleased.]
I think you'll be a good friend, Lucius.
no subject
He takes in the way the voice sounds as it continues to speak, and the beginnings of a smile appear on his face.]
I'm glad to hear that. As I've said, my ardent wish is to help you. I think, I know that I'll be...good for you. For your cause. Any way I could contribute...
In fact, I've already had something of an idea.
