CIP: Formicid EE (Sprint) -- God choice??

Trying for my first-ever Formicid rune in Sprint mode (Ten Rune Challenge). Started off as Earth Elementalist and memorized the entire book of Geomancy. Got really lucky and found books of The Earth and The Sky! I could use some help with my god choice. Not too familiar with this new species; any thoughts?
