Chapter 7: A New Land
Jen: I don't own Black & White, the talented people at Lionhead do.
Reno: So don't sue.
Jen: Very good, Reno. Our little lessons in not threatening the readers paid off.
Reno: I try.
Jen: sweatdrops, not wanting to know what that meant

Confused yet? Good. ;
Gathering up her courage, Rekka telepathically ordered Senka to toss as many villagers as he can find, in addition to as much food and wood as possible into the vortex before jumping into the vortex herself.
She heard the frightened scream of a villager flying overhead as she slowly awoke,
feeling very dizzy.
"Ugh...I had no idea that goddesses could get dizzy.", she muttered, lying on her back.
She didn't want to move until the dizziness passed.
Senka caught the villager in midair, gently pat him in the air, then set him on the ground.
When the dizziness finally passed, she sat up and found a strange blond man directing things in the future location of her village.
"Who the bloody hell are you?", she asked the man, as she stood and walked over to him.
"I'm Khazar, a god at war with Lethys.", he said.
"Who the bloody hell is Lethys?", Rekka asked, getting irritated.
"Lethys is the evil god who rules the snowy region of this land. Take his villages and he loses power.", Khazar replied.
"But I just got here. I'm not powerful enough to wage war against another god."
"That's why I'm allying with you.", Khazar said, then switched to his true form.
"Here. I'm providing you a Disciple Builder and a couple of Scaffolds to start your village off. The Disciple Builder will keep building things until he dies.", Khazar explained as he carried over the Disciple Builder and Scaffolds, one on a hill where the Temple was to be located, and the other one was placed near where the Village Center would be, to become the Workshop.
The Disciple Builder started working on the Temple.
"Hey, Khazar? I had some power in my previous land, but, now, I can't even change back to my true form. Why is that?"
"Simple. You don't have any power because your Temple's not built yet. Once your Temple's built, your innate powers will reawaken. Afterwards, to get the power to cast miracles, you'll need worshippers to worship you at the Temple. Take care of your worshippers, Ally. They're your main source of divine power. A god with no worshippers is a dead god. Remember that.", Khazar explained patiently. He could tell that she was fresh from the Void and still had quite a bit to learn.
You've been thrown in way over your head, Rekka., he thought to himself, knowing her name before she could even tell it. He'd heard some of the villagers talking about the young goddess and how her Tiger had saved them when he was temporarily overseeing the construction of the village.
"Build your village and I'll show you how to call your people to worship and cast miracles.
For now, here's some food, water, wood, and heal one-shot miracles to hold you until the village is built.", he said, reappearing in his human form. He pointed between two mountains and the food, water, wood, and heal one-shot miracles appeared.
"You can teach your Tiger how to cast those miracles by handing the one-shot miracles to him. He'll eventually figure out how to cast them."
"Right. However, I'll only be able to do that once I can change into my true form again,
Rekka said.
"Once you're at full power and know a sufficient number of miracles, it'll be time for us to team up against Lethys.", Khazar said.
"Yes. Your enemy is my enemy, Khazar. I just hope we can win.", Rekka said as she looked toward the snowy mountains where Lethys made his home.
