Well, no point in just standing there, little animal. Bad news, you died. Good news, our gracious Mother has given you a second chance at a more interesting life. You'll need to hold on to this talisman. Don't lose it. If you lose it, you can't get back here - the In Between. Think of it as your home base and the All Mother's stomping grounds.
Make sure to come back every now and then to offer a gift. She can hold a grudge you know. She brought you back and she can take you right back out.
Questions? Oh, I'm sure. We'll get to those.
But remember me, I'm Janus, your humble, amazing, dashing guide to your new life....
You glimpse a woman with vibrant markings. She is missing an eye and in its place are black roses. However, you notice something in her chest move. It is presumably a third eye and it is focused squarely on you.
The All Mother.....
She has an alluring scent to her but it is acidic and sharp. It makes you dizzy the longer you smell it. You want to approach her but every instinct in your mind is telling you to keep your distance.
It is only now that you notice that she is looking at you. Her lips curl into a small smile. It is both menacing and seductive. The All Mother eventually loses interest in you and turns away and disappears within the light, forest mist.
A space in between spaces. It is a peaceful glade filled with cool running water and young trees. It is surrounded by large, rocky crags where a tall, porcelain white tree sits in the middle. At the base is a hollow space where an ornate throne sits empty.
This is the All Mother's realm and it's where you find yourself as you wake from the initial haze of your new life....
You have become an animal reborn with a human consciousness and a somewhat human form. You begin in the In Between with Janus acting as your rather haphazard guide. You start your new life with a strange talisman made of white sandstone etched with strange runes. It is your only way back to the All Mother's realm. Janus recommends that you return every now and then with an offering for the goddess or test the limits of her patience. It could be food, cash, a flower, or whatever you find curious or important.
You will also use the talisman to return to the human realm. It will take you to the heart of a busy city with a large, elegant white apartment tower. It will be your new home for now and Janus will be there to lead you to your new spacious apartment with all the modern amenities that you might need. Perhaps you will see another filium and strike up a conversation.
Humans are not allowed in the tower and they seem to avoid it as if a magic barrier keeps them at length. Humans in general don't seem to realize anything is strange with you. A strong haze of magic surrounds you and disguises you from the general crowd. Other filiums will be able to see through the haze, however, so don't get too comfortable.
Feel free to begin your new life as a filium. The All Mother's magic makes you hardy and not easy to kill with your beauty not fading with time. Find a new job. Strike up a romance or friendship. Travel the world. It's all up to you but remember.... the All Mother waits in the In Between for your offering.
The All Mother has captured your essence into a stone. Now, we wait
for you to materialize into your true form. Don't discard your old shell though.
You'll be using this runestone to come back to the In Between.
Growth in roughly 3 to 4 weeks.
Stage Two: The Filium
You are fully realized and have taken your true humanoid form. Now,
what to do with your new life is up to you. The world awaits you and Janus can be a (somewhat) helpful guide.
Filium do not have any overt powers. They do not age, are hard to kill, and are stronger/faster than humans. The only filium that can wield magic at this time is Janus.
How do the filium get to the In Between?
A drop of blood to the runestone is all that it takes to transport a filium to the All Mother's realm. The same tactic is used to return to the human world.
Can filium change into their respective animals?
No, they cannot. They must get used to their new humanoid forms.
Can you meet the All Mother?
Yes, you will have a greater chance of meeting her in the In Between, especially if you bring an offering. You should keep your distance though. Her touch can be deadly. She does not speak, however, and will only relay messages through her emissary - Janus.
So.... what can filium do exactly with their new life?
That is up to the filium. Janus can be very helpful in guiding them toward an interesting career path or helping them travel. He is quite good at pulling strings.
Can there be more than one filium of the same animal species?
No, all filium will be a distinct animal species.
Will breeding between filium be possible?
No, the All Mother will just create more filium if she wants to increase her brood.
Drama, drinking, food, intrigue, filium in fancy outfits! 8D
A contest will be running for the entire month that will put a total of 25,000 gems up for grabs. What are gems? They're the All Mother Discord currency.
If you save up enough, you can get a fully customized filium! Contest is open to everyone, even if you already have a filium!
