Blackfeather Woods welcome to the party--everyone have their kool-aid?

She was past the point of boredom with the woman, now that she had gotten her talking about the gods. Talk of religion could always keep Maegi entertained. While other children might snooze through those lessons, Maegi found herself enthralled with those tales, tall as they may be in other's realities.

"Come with me," she said excitedly, beginning to pad away and flicking her little tail, signifying Moonshadow should follow. "I'll show you the Temple."

She wondered briefly if the gods would talk to Moonshadow as they did to her. Surprisingly, she felt a pang of jealousy at the thought. She had always thought herself--and Meldresi's other living relatives--special, and to have them greet an outsider with any kind of warmth would feel like a kick in the teeth.

Still, though. . .Moonshadow had chosen this forest over anything else. Perhaps they were bonded--if not by blood, then in some different way.
