ingram is quiet as she speaks; the words flowing from her, spinning a familiar — though different tale. it reminds him of himself ...though the commanders were not percieved as 'gods'; though it makes him wonder was the difference was. they were revered. leaders. of a constant ouroboros of rebirth.
