 "I'm sorry, sir- I mean, uh, Kila! We're gonna have to go through the wastes to get there! Also, it's a masquerade ball! It's over in that big golden city over there, the one where the sunlight makes the rooftops glow!" He begins to run, faster than any normal human could, but not by a huge amount.

 Kila nods, solidifying the light around him into a more formal, yet free fitting suit with a decorated dog skull mask.

 "Amazing, Kila! Foreman Zidan will surely appreciate your fashion sense!"

They are rapidly approaching the golden city. It is a single building, and a gargantuan one at that. It must be miles in each direction. Smoke pours out of gilded spires and liquidates, dripping down into funnels for future use. Massive mechanical gates lay open, revealing the raging party inside, people dancing to the swing-classical fusion, drinking, eating, and generally reveling after a hard workday. At the far end of the room is a figure on a throne, looking too weak to rise from it. He claps, his face invisible in the darkness, but his yellow eyes, matching his suit, gleam with joy.

 Kila greets everyone he sees, also putting a bowtie on his dog. He moves to where the host sits. “Thank you for inviting me.” Kila bows slightly. “Your home is beautiful.”

 The host nods in appreciation. "Thank you for attending! A ball is not a ball without its featured guests! I think I remember you. You've changed quite a bit since I last saw you!"

 "Do you want to try it? We can fly to my domain!! I have something to do there with my new human friends!! I have 200, now!"

 “Wow! That’s a lot! I’d love to meet them all!”

 "Follow me, then!!" She flies up

 Kila transforms into a falcon, following her.

 She heads to the center of her grove, descending from above. Many people can be seen moving around the trees and pond, a few sleeping "Welcome back to the domain, Kila!"

 He tilts his head. “Have we met before?”

 "Oh, no, but when a god comes to life right before your eyes, you remember it. I am Zidan, the god of Decadance. I used to be a human inventor and foreman, but when Koszmar killed me, my people wanted me back. I'm not quite whole yet, but Zeem is working on that."

Quote from Nikoli_Goodfellow >>

 "No, but for the purposes of polite speech I will give you a yes."

 Kila stands, dusting off his pants. Act sees a hint of furry hooves from underneath the pant legs. “It’s better to let out your troubles than bottle them in. I’m more than willing to help, and venting to a stranger always feels good.”

 "Mmm, stupidly enough I hate gods. Especially the meddling ones that interact fully with common folk and ruin my plays." they rub their temples, shifting from an elf to a more androgynous human, theater mask staying the same, "But nothing against all gods, I just, there are some that could bother to be more respectful and not play lantern to the fireflies."

 Kila’s form flickers back to that of his humanoid one, and he has a wide smile on his face. “This is… beautiful!!! You’ve done so much with it!”

Quote from ZeusTheGreat173 >>

 Zeem’s eyes twinkle mischievously, and they smile. “You’ll see. Can you teleport with me to the center of the savanna?”

 Kila grins. “Of course.” He places a hand on Zeem’s shoulder and they both fade like a mirage, reforming on the top of a massive baobab tree in the center of a beautiful grove.

 “I’ll be right back, stay here.” They vanish and then reappear a few seconds later, no longer carrying the metal thing.

 Kila tilts his head in curiosity. “What was that for?”

 They grin. “Here,” they say, and hand Kila a small, rectangular stone slab with a bump on one side. “Press the little bump on it.”

 Kila pushes his finger down on the bump, holding the slab.

 As he presses the button, Zeem says, “I thought that nightmare tower was a bit annoying, seeing as it was in your domain(or at least near it), so I thought it would be nice to rid ourselves of it.” A massive blast of purple light explodes from the bottom of the nightmare tower, and expands only upwards, consuming the tower entirely. When the light dissipates, the mile-tall tower is gone, and the land around it remains entirely unharmed.

 As it is destroyed, what sounds like thousands of souls screaming out in pain can be heard as the carvings briefly become real. The pillar of flesh is quickly incinerated by the purple light.

 “Ah! My name is Kilashi, emessary of the Sun.” He smiles behind his mask. “I’d be happy to help as well if you need anything of me.”

 He nods. “I agree with that. Too many people think they are much more important than they actually are. No one person can control everything.”

 Kila gapes, his mouth forming a small ‘o’. “I.. how did you do that?” He seems almost completely at a loss for words.

 "I knew I knew you!" he leans forward slightly to point, revealing his mummified face under an ornate eye mask. "And there is something you could help me with, thinking about it. Do you think I could get a little bit of your fire? Almost half my workforce has left, and the ones that remain need some help powering the city. A little divine flame would help more than I can describe"

Lark appears next to Kila and Zeem, looking shocked. "Zeem! You did that? But Okropnosc didn't want to hurt anyone, all he wanted was to be loved, and now his home is gone."
