Qeya River Shadowblight

Words came pouring from the tight-lipped Shadowpaw, who had brightened a shade or two as she bore witness to her beliefs. Wake felt her devotion as much as he heard it; her reverence bringing him clandestine delight. His beliefs were not so rigid that he could not appreciate the deviations in faith.

For this, too, was a part of the Rhythm. The starwatcher was simply uneducated on the matter (which was exactly what she thought of him).

There are those in my faith who learn to interpret the signs of our gods, those received in waking or sleep. They are called Madonnas, he imparted. They are living vessels for our omens, good and ill. The most respected among us. And if they have honored their vows, they can become Directress, spiritual leader of their branch, with the ability to guide us each to our True Fate.

He smiled. Perhaps it is your Starclan our Madonnas speak with. The snowtreader was wise enough not to degrade Shadowpaw’s religion or otherwise present it as inferior, impossible. But we call it Paradis. The great hunting grounds of the Sibling Fates. It is the eternal home of those of us who kept faith and gave tribute.
A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart—
Is My Very Nature That of the Devil?
