Priestess ofDeela
"And where are our guests?"
The tall figure of the Priestess looked like a dark statue of the goddess she served. Her long, pitch black hair hang to her feet, in sharp contrast with her pale skintone. Even with her back tuurned to the two giants, she could still sense the expression of failure that was on their faces.
"How long have you served me and my Mistress?" the priestess asked the giants.
"Du Jinder eers," the officer said., bowing his head low.
"Speak plainly, Lieutenant!"
"Two hundred years, my ladee," he repeated with evident difficulty.
"I see. And how many times have you failed me and my mistress."
"Unce, my ladee."
"I see," turned around, a large part of her sapphire-blue dress still staying in place, "So why is it that you, my most trustworthy giants, fail to bring a werewolf and a vampire to our city?"
"Day had too wizzards, a troll, a cat, a..."
'Two wizards you say?" A hint of interest showed in the Priestess' voice.
"Yes, my ladee."
The priestess turned around again this time walking up a few steps up to the shrine of her Mistress. She took one Deela's onyx arrows and puunctured her hand before letting her dark blood drip into the offering bowl.
A female voice spoke in the Priestess' head. Ah, my most dedicated servant, the voice said, You come to me at a late hour.
[iMistress,[/i] the Priestess replied in her head as well, I require your guidance in a matter
And why do you, my most powerful and oldest servant, need guidamce?
We have guests outside the city who are reluctant to enter.
The goddess was silent for a moment before continuing, Yes, I can feel them. Eight guests, two of which are my cursed children. A werewolf and a vampire, no less
There are also two wizards, Mistress, the Priestess said.
I can see that. And an Ollemcrat, a troll, a Greenwalker and a untainted Human.
I have bothered you, Mistress, to ask permission to send out the Daughters.
Do not overthink it, Jania, the godess said, Send the "young" Messenger, Kylin. She will be able to persuade them to come. If they refuse kind words, she will be able to withstand these wizards' magic and bring them by force.
The godess' voice stopped then, leaving Priestess Jania in silence for a moment. She then turned to the two giants who were still stamding at the foot of the shrine.
"Send word to the Messenger called Kyli," she said to the giants,"Tell her that Mistress Deela demands that she bring our 'guests' to the city, using any means necessary."
"Yes, my ladee," the giants said before clumsily trotting away to the House of the Messengers.
