Role

Chapter 7

In Ergush, Icaeos found a true spiritual guide, mentor, friend, and
Deity. Her guild and guild masters could teach technique, form,
channeling, etc. However none of them could fathom the depth of
chaotic, spiritual, natural, and other terms that likely do not exist,
power, and... Insight.

In addition to the actual Divine power, there were these other
insights gained. In addition to the teaching and training, Icaeos
also began to 'feel'! New sense opened up to her. Ancient insights
into her natural surroundings that were hard to fathom. But she was
not afraid. She was inspired! She was... Growing.

Perhaps she wasn't growing in height (well perhaps a little) but
rather in spirit, in faith, in her senses, and in a few other ways
even more difficult to describe. In short, as her faith grew, so
too did her reality.

Still although her reality was indeed growing, she was and is a
a relatively young Cloud Giant fillet with Chaotic spirit and energy.
She was, and is, grateful to the Outlanders, who took her in, and
thus wanted to show them she was worthy. Icaeos would see other Cloud
Giants and even other races of giants strutting with huge weapons
and boasting about their combat prowess.


Naturally Icaeos was a little jelous of their great war accomplishments
of putting down dangerous threats to Thar-Eris. So she wanted to
show her fangs too. Icaeos fought, often, like a warrior and not
at all like a healer. Standing before dangerous foes and not backing
away or getting behind a warrior or brawler. No, she proved that
it COULD be done. Even with some poor choices and losses under her
belt, Icaeos has shown exceptional, if not unbelievable, combat
ability. However, now that she has aged and grown, she's beginning
to ask herself: "Is there a better way?"

Icaeos, for over 5 centuries, has adventured, grown, died, bled,
shed tears, laughed hard, ran, flew and on and on in this land of
Thera. She's lost dear friends, met Divine cats, traveled great
distances in but a step and a prayer, and yet it seems her awakening
is still yet to happen.

However, she has had the time to see the connections between the
natural and spiritual connections she was making. She felt the bond
between herself and animal when she uses 'beast call'. She has
studied, felt, and understood the anger and rage of The Ancients,
training of Lord Ergush, with Ancient Instincts continueing to
unlock in her heart and mind. It's all swirling together now.
Coalescing at the right time in the right ways...

At her pinnacle, now, and with faith strong in her soul, Icaeos
looks fondly and with great interest at the future. She'll see these
Awakenings through. Both hers and Hers.
