Etheria

Ether and the Sang'gres

Avria grew worried as the renegade Diwatas continued to elude her. She prayed to the "Bathalumang Ether", the Bathala of the Etherians. Ether obliged her, and appeared before the Sang'gres.

"I cannot let you stop the past from meeting the present," the Serpent-Goddess uttered before the Sang'gres. Since she was in constant rivalry with the other Bathala, Emre, she could not send them to Devas and thus to Emre. So she did what she thought would make them completely helpless... turned them back to children.

Fortunately, Banak and Nakba were witnesses to what happened, and encountered Evades as they turned to flee. Evades came across the Diwatas, and told them that he had no powers to help them, though perhaps Emre could.

They prayed to a nearby shrine, and Emre entered Evades. Emre told the Sang'gres that, sadly, he could not counter what was done by Ether. He told them the only way to counter it is to go to the heart of Etheria.

As Evades returned and learned of what Emre had said, he blessed the Sang'gres with the power to teleport in the place they wished to go. Blessed with new hope, the Sang'gres started their way to Etheria... and hopefully, to the Golden Hourglass.
