King Elk Forest Hereafter

She's not spoken with Nikan since he discovered her in worship and she revealed her religion - since the gods claimed him as their own. This would be more troubling if most of his recruits had not disappeared - as it was, this matter pressed on her mind most heavily. 

That pair of sisters, the canine ones, the soft pet Nikan kept at his side, that strange man she encountered in the forest. All gone without a trace - or at least it appeared that way.

The witch prowled through the forest, wondering what came next and coming up with no ideas of her own. Worship was her answer, she would offer herself to the gods and pray that they shone light on a path initially unseen. 

Lost in her admittedly morbid thoughts - of what ritual would need to be performed to abate the gods - Pixie did not notice Serem until the dark sylph's shadowy silhouette  caught her attention.

"Serem," she greeted with a marginal dip of her head. It was Nikan she was truly here for but she could play nice with his partner. 

"Troubling how recruits seem to be just dropping like flies, wouldn't you agree?" Her incongruous gaze was drawn to a spider web in the branches of a tree nearby, where a spider was oh so carefully wrapping its next meal in cobwebs.
