Sun Mote Copse o quam sancta

Asherah's ignorance was endearing -- innocent even, but she would soon learn the ways of the Malkaria. Molech was a brutal God, demanding much of those who pledged their very lives to the power of the divine. The blessings of the consumer were numerous, yet Molech's anger needed to be appeased. The eye of the eight armed one must be diverted.

It gave Ar-Khalba no pleasure to know that his brood would be laid across the altar to Molech and that their souls would be consumed as an offering. It was, however, what needed to be done. It was his service to the Malkaria to provide such an offering. 

As Eshamun explained, Ar-Khalba remained silent. A strange mixture of both pride and loss sweeping though him at once.
