Anger, confusion, betrayal, filled Morpheus as he had heard the rumors from sol city of the gods. Though he had never met them he believed them to be family as he was born of the humans to serve them in their dreams. They were everlasting like him and he had seen the dreams and hopes of the mortals who believed in them and had come to cherish the immortals as the humans did. He assumed nightmares involving the gods were just the faults of man but hearing these rumors it caused turmoil in his now crimson eyes. Had they all truly been hateful evil beings? He cursed the group that had kicked him away as he would surely have had an answer in that cause. Some of his memories of the time of the gods felt strangely hazy as if tampered but he shook it off annoyed, only to feel the ground rumbling beneath him. The earthquakes had spread here he assumed.
without much care as if in a daze he wandered through the streets and crumbling not seeming to care of the screams or crumbling buildings as people were injured, that is until seeing a little boy, alone and terrified, eyes still filled with hope of being saved and his eyes returned to silver as he felt an old feeling stir once more in him. Care for humanity, care for the people who dreamed. Within that moment he scooped the boy away from the danger beginning to try and get him to safety sending his raven to find safe ground

The last few weeks had been odd to say the least. It seemed like the universe was very angry, and was wreaking havoc, of course there were many rumors bouncing around about the events that were happening. Marik wasn't sure what to believe at this point. The earthquakes were becoming more and more frequent, happening all across the land. Everything from minor tremors to massive destruction. People were terrified, living on eggshells unsure if they would survive the day. Tention's were high, which resulted in more violence amongst the people. When one is facing something you can't fight, it gets in your head and what makes it worse is you never know when it's going happen.
With everything happening Marik found herself in Eclipse City after agreeing to escort an Elf here from Kings valley. The trip was long but thankfully no issues and she was glad to have some time relax before heading back out. Unsure of her next destination. Shoto sit perched on her shoulder, helping keeps eyes on their surroundings. He was a purple and black fuzzy tarantula, his wasn't a fighter. His bite was harmless but his invisibility skill did come in handy quite often. Plus, he was nice to talk to on those long trips.
She could feel Shoto perk up a little, "What is it? do you see something?" "No... but something doesn't feel right" She stopped for a moment, and that's when she felt it the ground underneath her was... moving? It was just for a split moment, but she knew she felt something. "This can't be good." She opened a pocket on of her bag and Shoto climbed in. A safer space for him in case it got worse. Before Marik could do anything else the ground started shaking violently, she fell to the ground. People started screaming and running as best they could. Building started collapsing, the cries rang thru the City. Marik got up best she could and started trying to make her way thru the town. Helping whoever should in the process.

Morpheus noticed quite a few people following him hoping for safety as he held the child close, feeling a bit of shock at that "This way my friends there will be safety away from town" he said calmly as he led them all to the edge of town gesturing for people to get out as best as they could. Seeing a scared child shaking he paused and held out his free hand to the new child "Come along now. It isn't safe here" he said in a calm tone, taking the childs hand when they walked over. He then continued leading the group out of town stopping as they were away from things that could collapse, looking around and seeing the tiefling helping another group through the town
His raven soon came back to his shoulder explaining the deaths, destructions, fires and so on as well as explaining the tiefling seemed to have a good amount of survivors with them. He nodded at the news and stood watching to see if the tiefling would need any assistance with the situation currently happening. He had never seen the earth shake like this before. It only seemed to solidify the rumors of the dead gods

Marik had gathered who she could, they were almost to the edge of town. Grant it there was no place that was truly safe with this earthquake, but at least there would be less chance of falling buildings and debris on the outskirts. As they drew closer, Marik spotted what she thought was a raven fly over head. Slightly odd considering she figured by now all the wild life would have escaped, they had a good sense on these things. She turned her focus back to the group of people with her, she stayed back making sure everyone was still okay when the ground started to shake again. The people started to panic and picked up there pace to get to the clearing. A small girl had dropped her stuffed teddy bear in the processes and was trying to retrieve it. Marik ran back towards her, a beam that used to hold up a banner of some kind was starting to give. She picked up the girl and slid on her back out of the way of the falling beam. The ground stopped moving, she didn't trust it would last long. Standing up she picked up the girl, and snatched the bear off the ground handing it back to the child. Reaching the edge of town, the little girl ran toward to whom Marik guessed was her parents. She took a breath and looked back at what was left of the town. She noticed the raven again, perched on what appeared to be a Human that was standing close by. Marik had a feeling this was just the beginning, she didn't know what was happening but whatever it was. It was probably just going to get worse.

He watched the group escape as the group with him was recovering and calming down a bit at least as they Went along. He then spoke as they approached “it seems you gathered the last of the survivors. My raven has told me there is no one else left in the town who is alive. I believe it is best to stay here away from the town for now as flat land is a bit safer at this time” he replied as he examined the group before turning “there are some healers this way who can help the injured” he replied beginning to walk towards those who had begun healing people gesturing the newcomers to them. “Those who can should scavenge for supplies to set up a camp out here for now” he added glancing back to gauge others responses and such to the situation and his suggestions though his tone was calm and low as it always tended to be in his deep voice. His silver eyes examined the surroundings and detestation and a small glimpse of sadness pierced his heart. This was a dream he remembered, the town growing and the dreams of those who lived there. He had always enjoyed them

Marik watched as the Man with the Raven guided the groups of people, he was very calm which seemed to help relax the crowds of people. Marik didn't feel the same attachment many of these people did, she understood the devastation involved and sympathized. She was not attached to any one place, however she was wondering to herself how many more places will be left when whatever was going one was over. Marik felt Shoto crawling up her arm and take his normal spot on her shoulder, "You weren't hurt, were you?" she asked her small friend "No I'm fine, it was a shaky ride to say the least but all limbs still intact" He replied and she felt him move all eight legs as proof. She laughed a little thankful he was safe. "Good deal, cant have my partner in crime hurt now can we" "What now my dear?" "Go see if there anything we can help with, if nothing else help gather supplies for them before making our way out of town." She started making her way to what was left of the town see if she could find anything useful, she passed the man with Raven and he looked like he was deep in thought.

Morpheus soon shook his head to break from his thoughts a bit before glancing up and around locking eyes with the other as she passed by. He looked her and the tarantula over momentarily before continuing back towards the town to assess the damage. He then looked to the raven upon his shoulder "Matthew, check for people and anything useful then report back to me"
The raven however looked back at him responding "again? you really think there is anything to find in all this rubble? You gotta be joking dream" the bird huffed some. Morpheus never changed his expression as his gaze remained focused on the bird "Matthew. These mortals require assistance. Now see what you can find for them" he stated. The bird seemed a bit annoyed with its feathers a little ruffled though he did fly off beginning to search the area.
Morpheus stayed where he was as he let matthew survey the area, thinking back on the news of the gods deaths and this one being who had ascended. Was this all their doing? Had they brought this upon the world at the findings of a few? He was hoping to research this news however the disasters made it hard to get a chance

Marik headed toward the town, while keeping a loose eye on the guy with raven. He was different, she was unsure if it was a bad feeling or not. But she defiantly didn't trust him... not they she trusted anyone really. She found what left of a just a general store, and started going thru the rubble to see if she could find anything that would be remotely useful. She was getting nowhere fast, decided to abandon the idea and walking thru the town seeing what was left. Thankfully the earthquake had seemed to be done for now, she noticed the raven flying above her she felt Shoto tense a little. He was a not a lover of birds. Marik laughed a little "I don't think the raven is paying attention to you." "Maybe not...but they are known to eat my kind you know" "I think they prefer your smaller cousins." "Hmph, I still dont like birds" Marik slightly rolled her eyes at her furry friend but continued walking and they came across the guy from earlier who also seemed to be assessing the destruction. She stopped for a moment debating on if she wanted to go talk to him. See if she could get some kind of feel for him. She had gotten pretty good at reading people, she wasnt a professional but years of traveling and some trial and error you tend to pick up a thing or two on reading people. This one however was a different story, walking toward him she came to a stop beside him. They stood in silence for a moment, Marik was not however any good at starting a conversation. "I think this is the worst disaster I have ever seen"

Morpheus let his gaze drift to her looking her over before nodding "Never before has destruction of this level occurred besides the wars of mortals." he replied thinking back "I may be missing 100 years of time but I am sure I would have heard if such a catastrophe happened whilst I was away" he remarked simply, his eyes glistening from silver to a gold color as he examined the area "This town was the home to so many dreams. I remember when this town itself was a dream to be created" he remarked, a small semblance of a sad smile gracing his lips. "So much has changed over the centuries and what all thought was truth could all be a horrid lie" he added thinking back to his glimpses of the gods in the past. Had they really all been one ascended mortal toying around with the beliefs of the people? It was certainly causing a migraine to think of such things, his wings staying behind him, very broken as they had been for a century or so. "It appears all those still alive are out of the town however which should be quite good" he responded trying to make light of this

Marik listened as the man talked, and she was getting slightly confused. Wars of mortals? That seemed like a odd way putting it, though he wasn't wrong. The remark on the dreams was also a little odd, again not wrong she guessed. She never really thought about people's dreams. Clearly, he had though and by the way he was talking it was rather important to him. She looked back at the town, really thinking about everything he said before responding. The part that really caught her off guard was the whole horrid lie part. On one hand she didn't know if this guy was just running off with some nonsense, on the other hand things were really getting bad so maybe he actually knew something she had no clue about. "True, it could have been a lot worse. However, lets back up to the whole horrid lie thing? Could I possibly get a little more clarity on that by chance?" She wasn't sure if she would actually get an answer or not but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Shoto crawled across her back to the shoulder closest to the man. "I am also interested in what you mean by that."

Morpheus looked over the two “the news of the gods.” He replied simply “even I myself cannot yell if it was truth or a lie by a self made deity to keep things complacent. I hear the rumors and I was sure I would be able to tell between the truth and a lie but I am less sure. Did that truly happen?” He grimaced “am I so easily fooled by the cascade of a mad man?” He questioned. “Even I believed they had merely left mortals to their devices. Yet I am less sure now… if the rumors are true they have been dead for so long now… I should have been there. Yet even if I was what would I do? With the rumors they say the gods were selfish and cruel yet I do not remember them so. It has me questioning my eternity and what is true and what could be falsities I chose to believe instead” he sighed before looking back over the town “I thought I knew everything of this world watching it form from practically nothing to what it is now. I thought I knew it all until the last 100 years and I could easily find what I missed but it seems there is so much more” he replied, his silver eyes changing a golden color in his frustration by it all
