The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(And others)

*..............the astronomican!*

Athena: what of it?

*condescending look.... image of astronomican and emperor closes in to each other....*

Athena: get to the bloody point

/.......more condescendence..... The emperor is where that giant lighthouse originates from/

*She looks up, and her eyes snap open* "What?"

Lir: ....you seemed dead... I was making sure that you were not, in fact, dead...

"Your concern is touching."

Lir: certainly is... Is the soil i prepared adequate?

"perfectly, although i will mourn the loss of so much of the mountain."

Lir: it is still here, just as dirt

"But its not a mountain anymore, and its not happy about that."

Lir: *smirks* Most of it is. I just shaved off the top and replaced it with dirt.... What would please the mountain then...? Wouldnt want to live on top of an unhappy place, now would we?

Athena: we're not bloody psykers you dumb mutt, we can't track that

*beams with pride.... it can... but the journey is long and perilous... or at least perilous...*

Athena: you said you don't know the way....bloody dog

*anti chaos glaaaareeeee...and she is a warp creatuuuurrreeeeee*

"...you're not winning me over"

"Putting all the rocks back"

........*mental images of demons to be fought and consumed, along with the currently unused custodes armor sets blessed with all sorts of holy powers flash before her eyes, promising fun and food...*

-------------------

Lir: Unfortunately, trees do not thrive in solid rock... especially ones of this size... I could improve the quality of the rest of the mountain though... make rocks as tough as plasteel.... would that.,.. "please" the mountain...?

"Probably not."

Lir: ....mountains are complex creatures, it seems... pleasing them is not easy...

"No shit."

Lir: Will it be a problem in the future?

"What you think the mountain is going to punch you back?"

Lir: You have obviously not set foot upon chaos worlds before.... mountains punching back is a common sight...

"Of course i havent."

Lir: Well, now you know... I would not want the base of my citadel to destroy it...

"It wont" *Obviously concentrating*

Lir: Well then, i shall leave you to your work....

*she walks some distance away and, in an uncharacteristic way, sits down cross legged, her axe resting accross her lap...*

Athena:...ugh fine, lets go

*well... i think we can assume that thorgar will let them out the back door... in which case, the fox lead sthem through the warp, to the breach... the other two are fighting demons on the way.... now, before them stands the endless horde of demons trying to pour through the breach...*

*She continues to grow the tree, its up to height and thickness, now she's adding detail*

*Thorgar does whatnow?*

*watches as she does that... in fact, she supplies her own power, spreading it throughout the area to reduce her strain... not for humanitarian purposes, more like to make sure the result is adequately over the top....*

*She gets the mental equivalent of a slap on the hand.* "No."

Lir: ........*is stunned and is staring at her..... more by the fact that the little eldar just metally slapped her new goddess...*

"You'll only distract me, go back to meditating.... or, whatever you're doing."

Lir: .....waiting....

"Then do more of that, im almost done."

Lir: ....so be it...

*The fortress is finished a few hours later. and with one final note, the front gates slowly swing open.*

*You forgot the illustration!*

Spoiler:

Lir: *getting up* .....It looks rather impressive....

"Of course." *as she stands up, the flowers that have grown around her bow away, half lifting her to her feet, she turns around, and plays a few notes to them, and they grow taller, waving gently in the breeze.* "Thankyou for playing host."

Lir: ....well then.... care to give a tour?

athena sighs and prepares her weapons
the fiend is silent

*and the fox just walks ahead without hesitation...*

*She walks through the great doors, eternal flames burning along the walls, the hallway widens into a second set of great double doors, the grain of the wood, spiralling and curving to form a stylised image of lir, holding her axe at the ready, looking regal as fuck.*

Lir: *Appreciating the artwork* quite good.... Admittedly, it would have looked much more...basic, had I designed the artistry...

"Art with woodgrain is quite hard. The tapestry is far better in my opinion." *She leads her through to the grand hall, long tables stretch along either side, a firepit along the middle, and a raised dias, with two thrones lies at the end, with a tapestry, a striking portrait of lir, ten metres tall, hanging behind one of the thrones* "I'll have to have your... other... pose for the other one."

Lir: I shall summon him... To show off, if nothing else...
*she sends out a psykic signal into the aether, calling him there...*
