Maegi listened studiously, nodding as Spirit described her experiences. "Special places," she explained. "Those places are where the gods live. Where you can hear them speak the loudest. Where you can pray, and they will answer."

She tipped her muzzle upward, toward the moonlight filtering through the trees. "What do you think of the moon, Spirit?" Maegi asked. Perhaps this young, wise (in a way) one could give her the answers she sought. "I've never understood it, myself. What it does. . .what it's meant to do. To me, darkness is best. It lets ugly things like me hide in the shadows."

It could have been a self-deprecatory remark from anyone else, but Maegi said it in such a matter-of-fact fashion that it was almost a point of pride. Strange, that.
