>"All of the gods, and Luna the second greatest of them all, rose up in rebellion against the Titans who were their creators. They had been bound never to do so, but in their place they chose and empowered their Heroes from the ranks of humanity to do their work for them. The gods would not have done such a thing unless they hated us, and I doubt Luna would have any tolerance for my existence."
>"It's a pity. I like humans; they're the only race that makes new languages. If I had known... well. Thousands of years too late on that score."
>>195624
>"We currently have a total SOUL FORCE of 4; 2 on my lady's side, and 2 on mine. Increasing her soul force will increase the potential for greater SHAPESHIFTING and MOON ABILITIES, while increasing mine will improve our capacity for more potent TITAN'S WORKS. Improving either will cost 2 measures of Titan's Will, and will add 3 to the maximum supply of MOON POWER, as well as increasing general spiritual potency."
>"There are many other options for its use, as well. I could take advantage of your shapeshifting nature to alter your body, permanently improving your Might, Agility, Toughness or Beauty, or to make other permanent physical alterations. I can craft WORDS OF POWER, which will cost MOON POWER to use but allow the shaping of external reality in a similar manner to Sorcery. I can manipulate your Lunar magic, drawing forth dormant MOON ABILITIES or increasing your capacity to SHAPESHIFT. And I can improve my own capabilities, allowing me to perform new kinds of TITAN'S WORKS."
>"I may even be able to grant Gevin some benefactions, if you will it. Perhaps I could graft some of the other's knowledge of GHOST POWERS directly onto him, but it would be tricky without first improving myself."
>"Our current supply of Titan's Will is 2 measures. Please choose carefully."

>"I find the draconic form comfortable, as do many supernatural creatures."
>>195627
>"As I alter myself, my form will naturally change. As I am now bound to her, I expect also to eventually harmonize with my lady's nature, which will also work changes on my form and personality."
>>195644
>"I was a key part of my progenitor, I think. My memories haze, somewhat. I may even have been the defining soul of He from whom I came. I wonder what happened when I was torn away. To damage a Titan's souls is to alter their nature."
>"Hence it is that I wonder at this reluctance to damage souls. The Heroes of the Sun and Moon and Stars must have had no qualms doing such a thing to defeat the Titans, as that is the only way to do them injury."
>"The first thing I remember as I am now is being lost in my lady's mind. It took me some time to explore and puzzle my way to sharing her senses, at which point she was traveling through this dark forest without any seeming aim, but a sense of fear and determination. Two days of this passed without cease, at the end of which Luna appeared."
>"Before that, between the war and my "waking", I do not think I was alive. I was like a puppet, awaiting strings, and a hand; at least, I reckon it so. I may be wrong, but if I am not, other fragments of Titans would be the same."
>>195650
>"Unfortunately, that was a BEAST SOUL; the base, animal portion of a human mind. Eating that would restore MOON POWER, but little else. Only the NOBLE SOUL of a sentient being can provide Titan's Will."
>>195663
>"Titan's Will is not exactly a resource in that way; rather than being a substance to be molded, it is closer to being the effort required to hold something into a particular shape. There's more complexity to it than that - you can't just "relax the hold" to unmake something that has been made with Titan's Will, though certain Titans could do so through their unique nature - but it will serve as an analogy."
>"Different Titans have different numbers of souls, according to their own nature. They can even grow new ones, if need be. Aside that, a Titanic being's nature describes their affinity or lack thereof for certain feats. Any particular Titan can do almost anything with sufficient time and effort, but individual Titans have certain things they find easy, certain things that only they can do, and certain things they find difficult or cannot do. The Titan I was once part of was bound to the concept of words and of language, and so I find it easy to allow my lady to understand any spoken or written word, as I have already been doing; another Titan, even being whole, would have to work harder and be more intrusive to accomplish the same thing. But on the other hand, I would find it nigh impossible to cause memory loss or otherwise destroy knowledge, while other Titans would find it a simple task."
>"Gevin cannot perceive any of this that I or my lady do not allow him to hear. He does not share the link."

"Uh. Well. I guess you'd say I was a woodsman. Born on a farm... did a bit of farming, a bit of hunting, chopped wood... simple life, really. A little lonely, out in the forest most of the time. Ruive... well, she seemed sort of solitary, too, so I... visited her sometimes. Helped out. She was an... introspective sort of lady."
