ϡ - Chapter Six; the horned serpent [voice]
Raining, hm? [ There's the sound of rain pattering against the window, dulling the intermediate silence. He's thinking for a few brief moments getting his facts and thoughts sorted before beginning. ]
The Horned Serpent. A mythical being involved with rain, lightning or thunder. Some claimed it to be invisible while most referred to it as the bearer of rain that made noises similar to thunder. Taken from Native American tribes the Sioux believed the Unktehila to be a dangerous reptilian water monster that lived long ago. They were of various shapes and sizes. In the end however it is said that the Thunderbirds destroyed them, except for small species like snakes and lizards. It has varying names: Pita-skog, Sinti lapitta, Misi-kinepikw. Ah they're wonderful creatures, really. Not as extincted as everyone once believed; not as dangerous either I'll admit. The rain is so refreshing at times too.
Is there a being associated with the rain or water in anyone else's world? Since there's not much to do on rainy days, perhaps a little idle chatter could pass the time? [ Another pause, derp. ]
Oh! I almost forgot! Welcome to Luceti everyone! I know there's been quite a few new people about! The cycle just ended, I think? This place is so welcoming, isn't it? I'm sure you'll all feel right at home, or as much as possible in such a place! Though, it takes some getting used to doesn't it? A shame it's such a rainy day...there's so much to be explored in this place.

Morons isn't a term I'd like to hear be thrown about; especially because certain people worship certain deities.

Fine. Weak and superstitious, then. Of course, sea dragons do exist, so maybe one of them is "Jichia." Pretty useless god, though, if you ask me. After all, he didn't save their capital from getting burnt. [Girlish giggles! He's so proud of that accomplishment.] All the same, land dragons exist too, and they're hunted on a daily basis by all nations. What's the damn difference? One breed is just rarer than the others.
See why they're morons?

Gods were never known to interfere with their subjects. Some do, more than others. But still calling people morons because of their beliefs in something that makes them happy and unified is hardly necessary.
