The Sixth Saint dripped from the very sky. Air, earth and water suddenly melded to create Litte, as her sisters came to dub her. The kamerel were experimenting with opposing elements, perhaps alchemy, and the engine that eventually made their metallic replacements. At death she asked another god, one not named in legend, a way to prevent her passing to the Astral. The god supplied her with the means all she needed to do was to surrender all possibility of greater power by letting it stagnate into a place where it could concentrate unscathed for millennia. Thus she became a statue in the middle of Ossa that resembles a hibiscus that seems to dance among the waves as it rises above the water. Still, the solution is a temporary one, so she asks captains in visions and mists to let a single offer of gold or prayer near her base, powering the godly heart. She does not extort, but those that do not contribute are left to their fates, whatever they might be. The statue does have its own attractions, too. Many explorers would like to set foot in its rock to discover what treasures, and secrets, are hidden among its petals. |
