What would being the leader of the pantheon mean to you, Piety? This contest was created for that exact reason. Are you saying that if you won, you'd try to keep things as equal as possible, even if you had the opportunity to seize greater power?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm after. When I was alive, as a mortal, it was my job--my whole life's purpose--to serve as an ambassador of peace. What's important to me isn't the power, it's the platform. I try to learn the best in everyone, so I can help them best utilize their strengths when their strengths can maybe be hard for others to see.

But...I'm afraid I've never been assertive enough to carry myself when I'm being ignored...and that's been my problem in this pantheon. The more the group conflicts, the less my voice is heard and the less effective my ability to mediate.
Exactly that, yes. I'm glad that you think so. I was worried...that because of some of his more radical ideals, people might misunderstand my intentions. But I truly believe that working together, the two of us will be able to appeal to all of the pantheon.

If I'm honest, I think the two of you would do a good job.
