sorry im very tired, this got weird!

morality itself was not always a positive thing - similarly, it was not a consistently negative trait either. the fact that religion often utilized a sense of morality was only coincidence; for hosannah specifically, her morality had limited ties to the spirituality that drove every moment of her life. the same could be said for any zealot -- they do what they must in the name of their pantheon, no matter the cost, and rely more-so on their spiritual attachment than any heartfelt goodness  versus evilness. such a mundane juxtaposition was not so forthcoming in the mind of this girl.

there would, however, be the ironic connection between light and dark.

she could recognize those not of her kind, though. and this stranger -- this depp -- stuck out to her as a shadow. something that fell beyond the rays of the daystar; malleable yes, but at what cost to herself? was it worth it to pursue this stranger in the hopes of teaching him of the light? would her god be so forgiving of the sins this creature may have perpetrated? she had no answers -- but these thoughts whirled through her mind in fleeting succession. she heard his voice and knew instantly that he was tempting her, as shadows were known to do, thus the servant identified the first of the afflicted.

"I have one," she spoke quietly, as if ruminating over each word chosen. "As I have told you, I am a servant of Raas, he who extends a great power to those of his flock. By His hearth I am warmed, by His will I am fed and kept safe." the words falling from here were like that of a babe. she spoke as plainly as she could, and the innocence which swelled in each syllable was obvious. hosannah believed fully in what she said despite evidence to the contrary, as depp would see it.

even alone, she knew that her lord had not forsaken her. however, she did not send him away outright. there was work to be done.

"If you were blessed to walk with god, would you forsake that opportunity for a mere mortal?"
