upon greeting, eyes narrowing to slits, studying, assessing. calm they stood, the air still and thick around them, electricity dancing through their blood, eyes aglow with power of the heavens above, their body sturdy as stone. pulling the whisps of air, they drew in his scent, committing such a trail to memory. alone they had thought themselves, their pantheon long forgotten and left eons upon eons ago. exhaling, releasing hold upon air heavy enough to crush smaller things, they stared upon his form. up he reared, their eyes flashing at sight of underbelly through legs. hells, their blood roared in their ears, screaming for battle. chasing away thoughts belonging to a time different from this, they stared, recognizing something in him, the power he held similar enough to their own. battle would do neither good, not with innocent lives within buildings behind them.

chuckling, the beast found themselves grinning, "Resonating the warning from drums within this land.", they boomed, voice deeper than they had spoken to their group with, voice thicker and more alive, joyous their chest to find themselves no longer alone from their pantheon. "Lin Bai, God of War. My people are long gone. Gods are none to few here. Bahano, God of Nature, what path brings you here. I protect those living here, in this vessel and body of mine. I will protect them against any threat, with any means.", they rumbled, dipping their head in equal acceptance. High alert, both remained within, "Challengers come often, threatening their wellbeing. Warning or challenge, it is returned as strongly as it is received.", they had enough to worry about with the raid coming fast upon the heels of the first winter storms. Clearing their throat, the god exhaled, studying him curiously, "The lands I lord over are titled Alithís Evgenis. Winter comes swiftly, Bahano, death pacing not far behind. Trade me your knowledge, and I will trade my shelter and food?", they offered, understanding all too well the wariness he carried. Once upon a time, they too had felt that wariness, when they first came to this land, and lost their betrothed.
