Ankyra Sound heaven and hell were words to me

Caiaphas was unaware of Aella's superior thoughts, but she was not unaware of the tentative balance that hung between them. They were both bound by their devotion for Aktaie and the creed, but this did not unite them. While Aella outstripped her in rank, Caiaphas somehow felt vindicated -- it was rare she felt the victim, even in front of her newly established rival. All she offered was that sweet smile, as if she were touched by some whimsical nature.

"Caiaphas." She supplied subserviently, though there was nothing at all polite about what she was thinking. She rose then -- still being several steps behind Aella. "Aktaie and the Sisters found me. It was ordained by the Gods." While her tone was lackluster, it did not lack conviction -- and with a sweep of her tail she rose to make her departure. With Aella nearby, she could not eat at ease -- and with a curtsy that signaled the end of their terse conversation, Caiaphas struck down the shoreline in search of other more rife shrimp to torture.
