[Gabe]Prayers for the damned

She had caught a nice snowshoe this morning. Father still refused to eat much, uncle had disappeared, Sathanus was probably busy living her own life and her sisters were probably with momma and Olya. Life had fallen apart. So she did the only thing she knew to do. She traveled northward with the hare and a small leaf filled with berries and flowers she had plucked. The gods her mother claimed existed would hopefully answer. She needed guidance. As she entered the place with the alter her father had taken her so many seasons ago she stopped. Its holiness rang out to her in it's own way. Did the gods care about her offerings? Would they disregard her? She had no answer for it and moved forward, making her way to the alter. What was left there was bones from old offerings and such. As hellish as it looked she dared not disturb the rest of the items. She gingerly laid her own on it and unfurled the leaf atop of the hare, arranging the items with great care and precision. Then she stepped back from it. "Please accept my humble offerings, I am in need of your guidance. My father grows weak with depression, my mother weak with age. The rest of my family are at war with one another. I don't know what to do, grandfather said he was a God, and then called me an abomination. I'm lost. My sisters are no where for me to find them. I just want my family back together again. Please with your infinite wisdom guide me so I may help to mend what has become broken." She wasn't sure this was how you prayed, but she just wanted help. This felt like the right place to seek it out. The scar that ran her face was a horrid reminder of a gods cruelty to those she loved though. She had to wonder if uncle gabriel was punished the same way as her. She sat there with her head bowed and her eyes closed though, hoping against hope that some being would answer. |
