"Actually who are the Gods of this realm?" Mari asked not really expecting an answer, while the forge had so far been able to answer any question she had, they had all been related to the forge itself and not the realm she was in.
Deities!
In the Realm of Suen, there are three deities
Su, Ju, and Au
* Su - Lead goddess of Suen, she presides over the Sun, Healing, Loyalty, and Family.
Su most often takes the appearance of a young woman with gold eyes and hair, tan skin, and wearing a white dress lined with elegant gold embroidery of suns.
* Ju - God of Storm, the Sea, Travel, and Warriors
Ju most often looks like an older man with black hair just beginning to turn gray, and blue-green eyes, he's usually dressed as a sailor.
* Au - God of Mischief, Illusions, Truth/Lies, and Theifs.
Au has often appeared as a crow, or some other animal, but his most recognized human form is of a young boy with green hair and purple eyes, and wearing simple clothing.
"Only three huh, I guess I was expecting more because of Earth Mythology." Mari pinched her fingers as she thought, thumb, pointer, middle, ring, pinky, it was something that occasionally helped her think. Like a built-in fidget toy.
"So there's the lead, Su, didn't the blonde girl from before mention a goddess? That must be who she meant." Mari sighed tiredly, "I wonder what they'll look like, the messengers."
As though waiting for her question, the sound of a bell rang out. It sounded similar to a doorbell.

Mari felt as though all the panic she had ever felt in her life decided to make a sudden and unappreciated appearance. Her heartbeat sped up, her stomach twisted into knots and a shiver went down her spine.
"I can't do this, I suck at 'People' stuff," Pacing back and forth Mari tugged at a strand of hair, "This feel's important, what if I mess up and something bad happens?"
Nuit jumped down and barked. Mari knelt down and hugged her knees, "I don't feel good," her voice wobbled and she blinked several times trying to hold back the tears.
The sound of the bell rang out again and the screen popped up again, as though reminding her that leaving them at the door was already leaving a bad impression.
"Okay, okay, breathe. Confidant, be confidant. Smile, eye contact, nodd, everything's okay, it's going to be okay." Mari stood up and paced shaking her hands out she focused on the screen.
"Choose a place, where. The Peak will leave the best impression... Hopefully." With that decided Mari clicked yes three times and let her guests in.
Moving quickly Mari moved to the blue glow on the wall and selected The Peak from the options on the screen that appeared.
Not even a second after she stepped through a large white and gold door seemed to emerge from nothing a few feet away. Mari anxiously watched as the door solidified and then began to open.
The first to step through the door was a young man with fluffy white hair, he wore a white suit and had gold eyes. He had a confident gait and a slightly cocky grin on his face as he looked around.
The second one to emerge was an old woman with gray hair, she wore an elegant dark blue dress and walked with an elegant grace, her head held high. She looked stern and proud.
The last to arrive was a teenage boy with orange hair and purple eyes, he wore a dark purple shirt and black pants. He had a bounce to his steps and seemed to be on the brink of laughing.
"Hello, Welcome to my forge," Mari spoke trying to hide her nerves. The trio turned to acknowledge her and she felt a sudden weight press down on her shoulders.
"Greetings Guardian, I am Cloud I serve the Goddess Su," The man in white bowed very slightly.
"I am honored to meet the Guardian. I am Wave, I serve the God Ju," The old woman gave an elegant curtsy, but didn't lower her head.
"Gosh guys you're being rude, It's a pleasure to meet you, Guardian. I am Trick and I was created by Au, I'm doing him a favor." The boy winked and gave a dramatic but respectful bow.
"Wow, I really like what you've done with the place it's impressive. What floor is this?" Trick asked.
Mari startled slightly at the question. "Oh, um this is my second floor," So far this wasn't what she was expecting, not that she really had had the time to expect much but still.
"Second floor, really? This is bigger than what we were led to expect from the Observer message." The woman, Wave spoke, her eyes seemed to pierce into Mari's soul.
She simply smiled, not really sure what was safe to say. If the Observer wasn't telling them something she didn't want to be the one to reveal anything, besides that it was always good to keep your strengths secret when dealing with unknowns.
"Enough, we have a job to do," Cloud interjected. "She's strong that's good - so is our enemy."
He walked closer and pulled out a gold card from his pocket, it reminded her of a credit or debit card from Earth. "This should have enough credits to make the Temple, Wave hand over the blueprints."
Wave sighed and pulled a scroll out of the air, once Mari held them both they dissolved and a new screen popped up.
