A group of people have become restless. If even a god could die, and an entire domain could be cursed to be deathless, what could happen to them? They needed protection, but all they had was their fear.
But maybe that fear was enough.
The eighty (total followers I have accrued, rounded to the nearest ten) mortals gather together, casting nervous glances upon each other. What they are about to do is blasphemy of the highest order, and when the gods walk among you... terrible things can happen. They gather in a massive circle near the oasis. This group had been seeking a power in the place of the gods for a while, and they'd finally found out how to harness it. Strange shapes are drawn upon a canvas in foul admixtures made from herbs, flowers, and cerebrospinal fluids.
They gather their fears, crying into the circle. They have given such terror, the fear of God, the fear of being powerless and isolated, a name. The wonderful, awful name.
The canvas speaks.
"My fathers and mothers... you are afraid..."
An image appears on the canvas. One man rushes up to it. He screams, then places it face down on the ground, clawing at his eyes and sobbing.
"Fear no more..."
Long, shadowy fingers reach out from underneath the canvas, pulling it up. The crowd averts their eyes.
"For fear is on your side."
The canvas bursts open with dark energy as a creature emerges, its body twisting like a broken marionette. The ultimate abomination, Okropnosc, demigod of nightmares and monsters.
"My name is hungry. You don't have any vegetarian options, do you?"
“We do have some food yes! Your name is Hungry, you said?”
"Well, no. My name isn't hungry. It's flower. Well... actually... my name isn't flower, per se. That's more like my title I guess. I am Akari the Grave Flower, you might say?"
“Your name is Akari?”
"... the Grave Flower. It's really simple. A K A R I space T H E space G R A V E space F L O W E R. And that's Grave, not Gravy, mind. Also this is Gerald, the rat."
"My name is hungry. You don't have any vegetarian options, do you?"

The skeleton rat seems unimpressed.
“That’s a nice name!” They look at the rat. “Hey Gerald! Nice to meet you both!”

On a night where the second moon is at its brightest (full moon), a single pillar of obsidian rises from the waters of the original oasis. Over time, it becomes transparent, allowing those to see a relatively old teenager, around 16, with skull like face paint and wearing a black cloak fitted with armor on the right shoulder and chest. Soon, the pillar erodes away, leaving the girl standing in the middle of the water. She whispers, “I am Tsuki.”
*grave/water/twilight (sorry if this breaks rules), good*
*Maybe pick one until you can ask archfey and dutch :) also i think you can only have one god at a time*
*I thought Zeus had two, or does theirs have many names. I guess I’ll take twilight for now. It basically lets me say I control the tides and have mastery over reincarnation due to the moon changing phases and controlling the tides*

Tsuki teleports up to you, and whispers, “I’m sorry the previous death cursed your people.” She then falls back to the other grave goddess.
“AH! HELLO!” He yelps in surprise.

Tsuki picks up a leaf, crushes it, and opens their hand to reveal a piece of corn. “Here.”
"I want... no, I demand radish." The new god seems unimpressed.
“How, specific.” She crushes the corn again and rebirths it as a radish.
"YOU FORGOT THE LEAVES! I demand radish with leaves." It seems this god likes bitter things
Tsuki sighs. The water from the Oasis suddenly lets out a wave that brings the water to where we are, while also carrying leaves to her, which she puts on the radish.

They blink as their their not is booped, then smile. “Thanks, I like the smell of new books. You’re pretty too!”
Kila giggles. "Thank you!" He draws little swirling patterns on Zeem's arm. "I can't believe we're all three days old." He admits.
“I think we had lives before this. When we first got here, I told the humans about all that I thought I remembered, but I don’t remember what it was. I think we were sent here by someone. What do you think?” They look down at their arm! “Whoa! That’s so cool!”
*I want to draw this now :(*
Kila blinks. "Do you.. think we really had past lives? I can't remember anything but.." He closes his eyes. "Loneliness. Cold. Then.. warmth. Then here."
*draw what?*
Zeem smiles. “And now you have the rest of us.”
