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.

[When Reira enters the room, all is quiet aside from the normal hum of electronics as usual. It isn't until her voice cracks and she begins to cry again that Elias finally responds, and the many cables filling the room begin to creep around her ankles, buzzing with warm electricity. Perhaps it's his best attempt at a hug.]

im sorry reira
but
you saw it didnt you
part of it
at the bottom of that lake

[The monitors flicker on, going from static to displaying a sky full of stars]

i dont know much else about it but
its like a sea but full of stars
galaxies as far as the eye can see
but under the water
or maybe
further
.....

it makes no sense
i dont know where it came from...

but thats where she lets them rot
i dont know why
maybe she just doesnt want to try

[A quiet beat, but then the electricity crackles again, encouraging]

im sorry about your friends
they were my friends too
but reira
ill do everything in my power
ill make sure
youll never ever have to leave

i promise

[The bottom of the lake...She commits all those monitors to memory, but she doesn't really have to. Under the water, he says- Or further, and she remembers looking down as she grabbed the stone that would become 'Lusus', that one ingredient for Mana's magic...]

...It's why you had to grow my wings back, [She says quietly, shaking a little. But...something about how Elias says that. 'Let's them rot', 'she just doesn't want to try'...she curls against the wires until more encouraging electricity crackles, setting her hands back over them in a return 'hug'.]

...They should know about that place, shouldn't they? ...Everyone? If everyone knew she was hiding that place away...

[Ah, but she swallows.] ...I shouldn't have thought it wasn't the same, or gotten scared... ...but maybe, this way... [Maybe someone can go down there, or maybe even Marco would go down himself-or maybe she could, another day...

One deep breath, and one sigh. She tries to calm herself, wiping her tears away.]

Thank you, Elias.

I promise, I'll do what I have to to stay too.
