A woman with ankle length wavy brown hair, wearing primarily black and purple clothing, with a few diamonds giving it a sparkling star-like appearance with swirling silver eyes waves to them "Hello!! Welcome to the world! New god of some kind, I assume..?"
They glance down at their hands, the left half of their mouth opening. "God? Hmm. Maybe? Never really thought about it." Their right eye glowers. "Yes, we're gods. In a certain sense, at least. I'm Arkasis, and my brother here is Akhatsis."
"Ah, there are two of you? Nice to meet you! Im Ilheia, goddess of dreams"
Akhatsis gives an exuberant smile. "Dreams, huh? Those are fun!" Arkasis sighs. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ilheia."

In the oasis, the dark thrum of life which had sustained it since its inception had been subsided, an untuned string of spider’s silk waiting for the the return of the conductor. Leaves curled in on themselves; spiders weaved nests for themselves, slowed. The heartbeat of the life, the draw of healing and prophecy, slumbered. And one day, it awoke. Nedari thought it was a day like any other - their eyes were just open. They ignored the excited murmurs of their disciples and prophets, spared a moment for their spiders, laying hands upon them in swift blessing, stepped into the light, the bloom on their staff drinking in the liquid, golden, light of the desert, and went forth.
Nedari strides across the dunes, far faster than walking should allow, their mirage warping in the desert and leaving no footprints in the sand. Their staff is solid in thier hands, the flower vibrant.

Hes suddenly tackle-hugged, as someone falls from above him "NEDARI!!! Youre awake youre awake youre awake!!! I was starting to worry I was the only one!"
Nedari whirls and returns the hug. *I’m assuming this is Ilheia.* “Hello, Ilheia… how are you? And yes.. I am awake. I am unsure if before, I was sleeping.. or somewhere else?”
*Yup!* "Im well enough! Mila has told me Kila, Zeem, you and I have apparently been in a slumber for months.. Ive been the only one to wake... That is, before you showed back up!"
“Who is Mila? And the others haven’t.. woken… yet?” Nedari’s face flits from its ordinary neutral expression into a brief frown and then back, though it’s difficult to see through the flickering of the mirage. “Are the people still happy, and well?”
"My people seem to have functioned well without me.. I was going to check on the others soon. Mila is short for Miladae! One of Kilas former followers who was one of the first to join the grove, with his blessing. Shes a close friend.. And the first person I gave the dreak elf gift to"
“I must check upon my people. My disciples have been active, while I.. slumbered… but I am unsure how effective they may have been without me to draw upon. Your relationship with your followers is.. personal?” Nedari sounds genuinely curious.
"With many of them, yes!! Theyre... Friends and a community rather than just followers to me"
“I.. have always been distant from mine, I suppose. They are a community.. but because of my clairvoyance, I am hesitant to bond with them. The temptation to reveal.. overmuch… may be too great.” Nedari sighs. “It is a shame.. I suspect I miss much.”

*Where once savanna grass was green, darkness seeps from the cracks in dry soil, churning as it breaks down to golden sand. A claw-tipped spider leg, far larger than the ordinary, rises from the ground, followed by another and another, until an enormous orb spider stands above the dead ground. It kneels, its outer spider form melting away to reveal a hazy image - almost a mirage - of a man - sometimes a woman, sometimes inbetween - kneeling in the newly formed sand. Their skin shifts from golden to ebon and back, to every shade inbetween; their eyes from just a pair to six scattered across their head, always changing, always watching. Their clothes, however, remain constant - white, almost like silk, tied with a simple belt. They stand, and seem to pull a knotted wooden staff straight from the ground, topped with an open flower. - Nedari’s intro.*
Nedari’s face breaks into a smile at the newcomer. “Welcome.. do you have a name.. or title?”
The left half of their lips twitch open into a half smile to match Nedari's. "Of course! I'm Akhatsis, at your service! Well, not really, but I'm happy to meet you." The right half of their face shifts into an irritated frown. "Apologies for my brother's... indiscretion. My name is Arkasis. You are?"
“My name is Nedari, at yours, also in the figurative sense.” Nedari’s mouth quirks. “You are.. bonded together? This seems unusual. What is your.. apologies, if this sounds rude.. but what do you do, as a being?”
Arkasis opens his mouth to talk, but is interrupted by Akhatsis. "What do we do? Well, whatever we want. I mean, not whatever we want, but-" "Each of us possesses only half of a body, though it can take whatever form we wish. In order to survive, we half to bond with either each other or a different being."
