The First Move

[geckosquid]

Gekk-va-Ro-Kaa opens his eyes and slips out of his meditative state. A note lies next to him. Turning slowly, he reads it. Shaking his head, he says to the horizon, "A god needs no protector." Nonetheless intrigued, he writes upon the other side of the note:

You may proclaim yourself a guardian, but you have yet to prove yourself. We must speak; god to protector.

~A friend

Gekk casts the note into the wind. Perhaps this individual will stumble upon it.
