The outsider wasn’t belittling saturn’s efforts but he was pointing out that he lucked out in terms of resources. The multi-fauceted being moved the two of them along. It’s like he knew what they were going to do before he even did it. Was his understanding of the song much greater than Saturns? More than likely.
In a place where nature is strongest; many elements rear their head so it should not surprise me in such an ample place you would find the answer you seek.
There was a distinct pause and his eyes locked onto saturn; making the demi-god shiver slightly. The intense difference of their powers was immense and there was no way that he nor anyone would probably feel comfortable around this particular lesser deity.
You understand the gap between parent and child; between an elder and merely a babe. You even understand the strangest essence in a world you barely have connection to. Imagine what you’ll be like a thousand years in the future. If allowed to live that long.
Saturn was so focused on the outsider and what they had to say when they arrived to the next ‘area’ the demi-god looked around in bewilderment. The lesser deity and that of their child slowly lowered to the ground. Though the outsider’s feet didn’t even touch it. Merely hovering a few inches above.
This desert is perfect for your next task.
The outsider motioned with a hand and saturn looked with it; he didn’t know the desert all too well and he’d bite his lower lip ever so slightly. The outsider seemed to understand but simply continued without regard to that confusion or lack of understanding.
Here you will find two elements, like you did last time. You only were looking for wind but found nature as well. A curious little surprise that I will give you credit for even if you didn’t intend it.
The outsider raised a hand, two fingers spread this time as though giving him slightly extra time. But where he thought that he might be able to have some time to think the outsider instead shook him up a little bit. Or rather shook things up.
Your understanding of this world far surpasses that of my own; but the difference in speciality begets itself. You made things harder for yourself without even knowing. Two hours this time my Child.
This was a further test and saturn felt his ‘heart’ almost beat right out of his chest. The two of them stared at one another and saturn gave a simple nod of his head. Turning about and walking out into the desert. He didn’t understand it as much as he did the other place. He had barely begun to understand that of the many different areas.
It was intense, it was hot. There was sand everywhere as far as he could see. Standing there at the top of the dune all he could see was sand. All he could feel was the heat. So he continued on, curious and curiouser.
As time passed he was sure that the hours no longer mattered; he was certain that he had already failed. Kneeling down the demi-god ran his hand through the sands; slowly blinking. That intense heat beat down upon him and slowly he’d tilt his head. He could feel the crisp wind from the other lands practically scythe over his back. Cutting deep to his core and making the demi-god shiver.
The sun ate that cold up like an ironclad warrior eating their next meal at a tavern. Flicking his ears the demi-god slowly took a seat, rubbing at his chin thoughtfully. He had the answer for one because of the way things were… but the answer for both would be a bit more difficult. His golden eyes slowly trailed down and a brow would raise.
There was no way it would be that simple would it?
