Guess I gotta deal with this mess

Altizica gave an extremely wide smile “The story isn’t just a tall tale. I knew the Index personally, and Selkiris really did kill them.” He remember the absolute shock his larger self felt when it learned of the Index’s death. A being as all power as an outer god falling to the puniest of mortals.

Ecta looked at Altizica incredulously like he had just said the Sun was not that hot. "Surely, it must have been dumb luck," she said, not for a second believing a mere mortal could have ever taken down an Eldritch without some element of luck or chance involved.

"Or.. Index was not really as strong as rumored," she stated simply - which was another possibility.

Altizica laughed a little at Ecta attempting to grasp for a better answer. “You May believe what you wish dear Ecta. Selkiris is a rather calm man but the Index pushed him too far, and his rage is something that could challenge even Azathoth. The part of the story that was not spoken however is what Selkiris did afterwards. He consumed the flesh of the Index and, for lack of a better word, ‘ascended’. He’s one of us now, Ukilit, he who ascended.”

Shaking her head, Ecta had a very hard time believing what Altizica was telling her. In fact, she now began to wonder if they might be pulling her leg.

"He did what?" she asked Altizica, rather horrified at the idea of a human eating an Eldritch like Index. The idea seemed slightly sacrilegious for some reason. Mortals eating gods, the idea was.. unfathomable. "But that's not... possible...?" she stated as she checked her memory for a similar happening, and couldn't seem to find one.. at least not here on Earth.

Altizica laughed a little at Ecta’s horrified expression. “Well if you really don’t believe me go talk to Selkiris yourself. He works at the library so I’m sure you’ll see him. His aura will confirm everything I’m telling you. Now I think we may have been getting a little off track...” Alt said remembering he needed to discussing teaching her customs.

"Maybe," Ecta mused as she thought about meeting this Selkris for herself. The mere idea of adding this lore to her collection was indeed tempting, and even though she had a hard time believing it to be true, she knew it couldn't hurt to check it out.

"Off track," Ecta remarked curiously as she looked around the room, her expression becoming quite bemused. "I-I don't see any tracks in here... I am assuming this is an expression of some sort, perhaps?" she finally said to Altizica in a questioning tome.

Altizica sighed heavily at Ecta once again misinterpreting what he had said. “Yes that was another figure of speech. Now back to the idea of me teaching you, as it seems you might be here for quite some time. You obviously don’t understand much of the culture of Earth so someone definitely has to teach you. Or you could go to the culture classes and learn there if learning from me is so terrible.”

Unfazed by Altizica's more than obvious exasperation, Ecta just stared at him. "Cultural classes sound like a good start. However, the more knowledge the better and I still have a lot to obtain from you yet," she reminded him.

"The arm was a good start, Alt," she said as she considered the knowledge she had gained. "But there is still a lot of information missing," she told him matter of factly.

Altizica wasn't even suprised at Ecta requiring more information from him. She always seemed to require more information. "Of course you need more information, and well I don't really intend on ripping off my other arm right now so your going to have to wait." Altizica kicked back and plopped his feet onto the table, his arms stretched out across the couch.

While it was very logical that Altizica wouldn't tear off another limb for her to consume, but that still didn't prevent Ecta from feeling slightly disappointed at the fact. Her endless need to know, learn and acquire knowledge was always present. She was, in ways, like a man in the desert. Always thirsty for more.

"I can wait, I will have you know I have endless patience," she said slightly put out. The statement, while true in human terms, in Eldritch terms, it bordered on untruthful. Ecta could be rather impatient when it came to acquiring knowledge. Waiting hundreds of years was almost too much for her at times.
