Big meeting

2:00AM United States North East coast

"No, no, a dragon just to take care of a lowly ant! How could that possibly fit in with the plot!"

Inside of a well lit room, a group of eleven individuals listened to the ideas of two small time workers who had somehow made it to their office with lousy ideas.

"Well sir, maybe the dragons could drag him away for god training or something" the man in beige suggested with his head down. He believed that his idea was wonderful as many current gods didn't like the dragons, or any divine beasts for that matter. This gave the dragons a good motive like like training up a powerful god who is on their side.

A man in a black hoodie matching black sweatpants and a spiked masks with electronic goggles spoke up. "Well let's say we do make dragon go rescue him, or whatever. Then what happens to the minor NPC beast girl that's basically becoming his lover, at least the way I see it. Because the dragons have no reason to bring her too."

"Hold on.. they might have a point, Cade. Plus we can just make or guide her into a class that makes her a integral part of his faith… like a angel." Suggested a man In more formal clothing and a mullet.

Speaking up the man in powdered blue spoke up. "If I may add," pausing for a second he continued after zero protest " her class is necromancer and the boys class is Druid. We could make her a god too, and make her fall in love with him, therefore making a interesting story point."

"What a great idea! You know I like you. I'm promoting you too my personal assistant!" Cade exclaimed while jumping out of his seat. "Well now that my new assistant… uh what's your name?

"James, si-"

"My new assistant James and I are gonna go implement this! Speak now or forever regret." Cade said in a comical voice as angry eyebrows lit-up his face mask.

"All in favor say aye. Aye." This time it was a old man in what can only be described as a Odin cosplay.

"Aye"

"Aye"

"Aye"

After a quick vote the decision was passed and Cade happily skipped out of the room dragging his new assistant along

Soon arriving at his office, Cade discussed the plan with his new assistant, Before then immediately logging into the world as Cade of the void. His character decked in all black cultivation style robes, accompanied with golden accents and his face shroud in black mist beneath a hood.

His current location was like a Sakura tree paradise. All the trees of the forest where in infinite bloom never loosing their pink beauty. With this enchanting forest many divine foxes in fox and human form wondered and kept care of the place.

" ah yes, i finally found a way back into the world. Now just to give that little lady some power and switch up their plans a bit, heheh." Cade said while doing a fist pump into the air.

Stepping out of his small shrine-home Cade announced his new plan too his Divine fox faction.

"Alright everyone, soon I will be bringing two, new and really weak, and I mean soldier ants can kill them weak, gods here. I need you guys to find a way to train them… also they might turn out to be lovers." Not even waiting for a response cade jumped through a portal.

Not surprised by the spontaneity of their lord, many senior foxes started to direct people around, setting many things up and even magically constructing a small traditional Style Japanese home on the outside while being a nice 1600th century European home on the inside.

Just finishing his garden, Clay stood back in appreciation. connecting with the nearby plants, Clay started to try out the new technique he had learned from his Druid guide book.

"Grow" Clay gave the plants a command not only verbal but also mentally with a very firm will. Soon enough a small flower bloomed forth.

Just as they bloomed a head sized magical black eye appeared before him. "Hello, don't be frightened, I'm Cade"

"Ah, yes, I am Clay. What are you." Clay asked after regaining his composure.

"Well you met Todd. I guess you could say I'm his sworn brother, yes his ultimate friend. And I have been sent here to clean up his mess." Cade said in a friendly yet righteous voice.

"Well are you a god? And what do you mean by clean up?" After hearing Cades response, Clay didn't even bother to be suspicious and immediately trusted him with some questions.

"Yes! I am one of the twelve… now eleven… primordial gods. I have self volunteered to help you, instead of killing you."

Sitting in the tree behind Clay, Nirin had some questions of her own. "What kind of help, we are companions now. You can't just take him from me."

"Oooo someone is in love~"

"No! I'm just, I'm, ahhhh, we are just a team, nothing more!"

"Whatever," Cade said with pure sarcasm clearly not believing her. "But no, your a part of the deal. Here's what's going to go down, I will make you, miss Nirin, a god as well. BUT, your fate will be intertwined with Clays here and I will bring both of you to my domain to be trained as fine gods… oh yeah and I'll change your race into a divine Demi-fox."

"Why a fox! I'm clearly a beautiful raccoon girl." Nirin responded while puffing her chest out, showing off her nonexistent assets.

"Well because, your not that pretty… plus I can't have a new goddess under my care looking sub perfect! Do you know how much shit that dam mullet man will give me." Cade dashed her thoughts off in a light tone "just think of it as the price."

Seeing his opportunity Clay spoke up. "So what do you mean by our fates will be intertwined? because while I know I'm handsome, Nirin clearly can't appreciate it."

"I can too"

"Oh really? Do I hear yo admitting that I'm super handsome."

"Nope, your 'sub perfect'." Nirin teased with a light snicker.

"Ah it just means that your religions will be one in the same. But on the topic of looks you too could use a better look. hmm… well your a Druid, but I have no control over elves so I can't make you an elf, do you want to be a divine Demi-wolf or stay ugly and untalented." Cade offered to Clay, clearly wanting him to change races

"Are humans really that low on the chopping block?" Clay questioned

"Sadly for you, yes. They are only powerful in numbers, or with a powerful bloodline power."

"Then I choose to be made a divine Demi-wolf"

"Great" this was the last word Clay and Nirin heard before they saw the tree in the courtyard be surrounded by mysterious architecture that has red shingles and jutting cornered roofs. At the base of the tree a shrine with to statues appeared, The figures where both extremely beautiful for there respective genders, and had very detailed wolf and fox ears.

After catching a glimpse, they where whisked into a portal not to be seen within this city for a long time.
