"Have you seen and of the others? The paladin or the barbarian?" [b][i]She asked. She was wondering where the rest of their little motley crew was. As for the body, well she had already seen much worse, this didn't really bother her too badly[/i][/b]

"Nah, they're somewhere else. Why ask... Just spend some time with me, instead!"
-
"We need to make sure they're ok. Without them, you'd have been locked up for many murders throughout the past. You kind of owe them."
-
She sighs. "I mean, I guess I kind of do, but do I really have to...?" She complains, whining slightly in her voice, like a child, "I'm sure they're just fine..."
-
"Not yet, but we will have to."[b][i] She said, the tone not really affecting her.[/i][/b] "Like I said, we owe it to them. Plus there really the only friends we have."

-
[b][i]She growled a bit at the j duly, though she couldn't deny it. She spoke[/i][/b] "No, you can't. Though it does feel nice to be back in the forest instead of a city again. Back in my environment."
-
Zenia simply sighed. "...at least you have one."
-
"We are all born into different strokes of luck." [b] [i]She said. An spirit owl appeared on her shoulder, as she sent it to search the area[/i][/b]
-
"But why was I born doomed to be the way I am now...?"
-
"You aren't. If you try, you can change who you are. I was cursed to act like a beast for all my life. To crawl on all fours and hunt like a feral wolf. I've managed to mostly restrain it. You could do the same."
-
"...it's never just gonna be that simple. If only it was. I could beg, and beg, and plead with myself to make sure it never happens again... But in the end... I'll just be like this forever..."
-
"Then is it better to never try to better yourself? One should always strive to improve. Perfection is impossible, but that's no reason not to attempt it."
-
"Not worth the effort..."
-
"And that is where we differ in opinion, but I shall respect your ideas." [b][i]She says, bowing a bit.[/i][/b] "At least you are on our side then."
-
"Close enough to being on your side, but I could easily just end up backstabbing you. Wouldn't come as a surprise."
-
"We both know how that would end for you. You may have magic, but I, the blessings of the spirits."
-
"The spirits are just as powerless as we are. They're just those of us who've already proven too weak to be alive."
-
[b][i]Daun growled a bit, before snapping back[/i][/b]"Bite your tongue! The spirits are Gaia Mother's children, great Shaman who passed to serve her! They passed because she called them to a greater purpose, as she will all Shaman one day."
-
"So she's like a leech. Takes spirits for her own power. You can't possibly say that all spirits willingly submitted to her. Guess you could say that your prophet is somewhat false, huh?"
-
"She created us, and when we have done what she has called us to do in this life, we return to her. The spirit's that give us shaman our abilities are her most devoted! All spirits come from her, and we return to her care and peace willingly. All of them." [b][i]She said. Daun was devout as her companion would know. Probably one of the most devout there were. Every festival was celebrated without fail, every ritual done when required.[/i][/b] "And we do not have a false prophet, as there is no prophet. We speak through to Gaia Mother, and she is our creator."

Edited by Apple: 11/18/2017 4:47:41 PM"And so your prophet calls for the murderers like me. Seems like you've got a problem. Your prophet is the one responsible for what I've become! If you ask me, she should just stop meddling, and go die like any normal person."
-
"Or you've strayed from the path she had planned for you. If this is who you are, perhaps she called you to defend people and nature from those who seek to harm like this man." [b][i]She said, gesturing to the body.[/i][/b] "No matter though, Gaia Mother shall forgive you for whatever you do, as she knows we as humans are flawed beings."
-
"and she created those flaws. It's all her fault. All of it.'
-
"No, it is not. She created those flaws to teach us to work through them and to better ourselves. Do not blame Her for your lack of control."
-
"I will. She could have done something, yet never did."
