(OOC: I'll get Alexus later this afternoon. Also feel free to have your characters move to join Sion for storytime)
Kallisto
Kallisto looked over at Sion, her glare still set on her face. But seeing the girl's nervousness brought out the teacher in her and her face softened.
"You may refer to me however you like, you can even mimic Alexus and call me Kalli if you want, I'm hardly deserving of any sort of respect after the things I've done." She said.
Her eyes watered as she considered the past, she hated to admit it, but this was mostly her fault. She was so stubborn. If she had just listened to Nayru's warnings, if she had let Alexus calm her down, if she hadn't pushed Layla so far, and if she hadn't... If she hadn't... Not even her thoughts would let her admit it, but she had to. Not just for the sake of the girls she had dragged into this, but for her own. The burden of the truth hung heavily over her, shading her light in guilt.
"Alright, let me see how well I can explain this." She said finally.
Her voice was raspy and her eyes no longer shown with their usual fire, the pain she felt was evident throughout her body.
"I'm sure you've heard the standard creation story, the story of the four goddesses in Eden. Layla appeared on her own, shrouded in darkness. Alexus soon followed, filling the darkness with hope. Then Nayru appeared, bringing then both the ability to control their minds. And finally me, bringing light to help guide us all." She began, "Well that's only half true. We didn't just appear from nothing, there was a fifth, both the oldest and youngest of us and easily the most powerful. Ethan. He has always existed, even when time itself didn't exist. However, he was not self-aware until time began to flow. Once it did and he realized his existence, he found himself lonely. From this loneliness he crafted Layla. Although he created her, she was separate from him entirely, a being with a unique personality and abilities. But although he was no longer lonely, he didn't stop there. He came together with Layla and they formed Alexus, who filled them both with hope. Alexus, however, bored easily. And from her boredom came the creation of three new beings. The first was Nayru, the second myself, and the third utter nothingness which had to be filled. Nayru and I were tasked with that, and we quickly realized the only possible way to fill it would be to give it Ethan's power. But we couldn't come to an agreement on how to create him. With Eden nearing destruction, Ethan took it upon himself to fill it, resulting in the universe; this planet at its center. The price of this, was his ability to be remembered by the world he had created. So while the four of us became revered as goddesses, our brother became obsolete, losing his place in time once more."
Kallisto paused her story here, clearing her throat and allowing the mass of information to sink in.
"But I regretted this failure." She continued, "Although I outwardly blamed Nayru for our brother's fate, inwardly I blamed myself. And thus I took it upon myself to somehow bring him here. I realized that he wasn't lost to us, simply trapped in Eden. I devised a plan to get him back, becoming so self-absorbed I ignored my followers and allowed my virtue to be abused. Nayru tried to stop me from executing my plan, warning me that trying to bring Ethan into existence would require something equivalent to be removed from existence. Alexus agreed that we had to bring Ethan back, but she also knew that I was going to make a mess if I continued in the state I was in. And when they both failed to stop me, Layla tried to stop me by force. In anger I lashed out at her, but she was easily more powerful than I, and I was defeated. But that wasn't the end of things, Layla had been pushed too far, she couldn't handle the emotional pressure. She had lost the person she cared about most of all and now she felt like she was losing another of her siblings. I had been prepared to sacrifice myself for my brother, but with Layla's power going out of control I saw another option: I could keep all five of us if I just gave a little of each of the four of us. And with Layla's ability running rampant I had the perfect opportunity. But I was no more able to control Layla than she herself, and instead of taking part of each of us or all of one of us, it took all of all of us."
Again Kallisto paused to let things sink in.
"If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them now before I continue." She said.
(OOC: Pretend it's still yesterday afternoon...)
Alexus
Alexus clenched her fist in triumph.
Thank you so much, Layla. She thought.
Even unconscious, Layla was still able to discern the girl's power. And now that Alexus knew what it was she could teach the girl how to activate it. Even better, the girl had a Fury modifier, the same as Alexus, which would help a lot in explaining how the ability worked.
"Alright, repeat the following chant." She explained.
By the light of your heart
By the strength of my trust
With the raging fury of the believers
And for the salvation of all humanity
Bestow upon me your strength
That I may bring light to the world
(OOC: After the chant you'll immediately transform into your magical girl form. It will be the slow transformation the first time, so describe it as such)
