"I think something managed to drug me and bring me out here. That is quite the feat, to drug me."
-
[b]"You have a tolerance?"[/b]
-
"Very high tolerance. Most poisons that would kill 5 men would barely affect me, if at all." [b][i]She said. She had mentioned her drug and poison resistance, though she had never specified how strong it was.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Lucky." [/i]
-
"No. I had to go through many years of developing that. I have probably nearly died more times that you have my axe wielding companion." [b][i]She said laughing a bit[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Really? You've seen how many herbs I take right?" [/i]
-
"Yes, I have. I've met Shaman who that gives them a slight tingle."
-
[i]"Showoffs." [/i]
-
"They do not do it to show off but to keep themselves safe. They usually are the healers."
-
[i]"The hell do you shamans get up to?" [/i]
-
"Communing with spirits, attempting to broker peace with other tribes, doing rituals, and healing the wounded."
-
[i]"Spirits?"[/i]
-
"The spirits of the land, yes. The Warrior Bear, the Wise Owl, the Storyteller of the Fox. They are the primal spirits who I call upon to use my abilities. I show them respect and worship them and Gaia Mother, and in return they bless us with abilities."
-
[i]"I never will understand the customs of the people, I guess." [/i]
-
"Many do not. It is something one learns over many years of study."
-
[i]"Sounds like it, yeah. Things used to be so simple back home." [/i]
-
"They may have been in yours, but where is the enjoyment in simple?"
-
[i]"Simplicity is beauty. In my people, things are simple because they are beautiful naturally - Views, deeds, and our gods." [/i]
-
"I will agree with the beauty in natural form. In a way our beliefs are similar."
-
[i]"I wouldn't say that personally. You have a pantheon, I have one god. You have stories, I don't." [/i]
-
"We do not have a pantheon. There is one creator, Gaia Mother. Everything else has a spirit, including ourselves. We pray to the Gaia Mother, and ask for the help of spirits. The spirits are not equal to the creator, but they are trusted by her to help humanity."
-
[i]"Well then we do have similar beliefs." [/i]
-
"And we both believe that we must do what we can to help others, as well as honouring the past."
-
[i]"Aye. The past is the most important of all." [/i]
-
"Without the past, where would we be now?"
