otem You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold "Don't" Otem's voice was a squeal as she burst through a bush and towards Varuna. Anywhere Kisamoa was going to be, Otem vowed to be there too. She had sworn off the Helovian Gods for what they had done to her mother, but Kaos was a different story altogether. He was a different entity all together, and not even just one entity. He was so much more, and because he was so much more, Otem was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He'd only lied once after all, and there were always instances were lie telling was deemed appropriate, right? Otem had lied plenty and her life had barely just begun, so who was she to judge? People in glass houses and all that. Besides, he'd given her gifts. He'd made her feel (or rather, she let herself feel) special in this world where nothing of who she was or what she had mattered. Sure her earth spirits now occasionally vomited silent clouds of black smoke, but didn't Kisamoa also sort of do that? Was this not also some sort of gift? Just because she didn't understand it, didn't make it any less of a prize. "He told us not to touch his pet, and then it ate some people. He told us to go into the portal or else, and look what happened. You really want to keep testing him?" Although Otem was still growing, she was already quite tall. She angled her slender body towards the hybrid boy. Briefly her mind wondered if this was one of her many Volterra-created siblings, but decided that didn't matter. Brother or not, she was still going to stop him. Her shoulder aimed for Varuna's, while an earth sprite appeared behind Otem moving to hover menacingly in front of one of the Bonelights like a ghostly gargoyle. The sprite opened its mouth and black smog poured out, falling towards the river and the glowing flower. "DON'T. YOU'LL RUIN IT." Otem concluded plaintively, despite the fact that she didn't know what it was. All she knew was the once upon a time Kisamoa had said he wouldn't lie to them again, and in her naive heart, she believed it.
