At the mention of Pyrrhic's safety Malleus frowned. Was that a threat? The longer he spoke to this mortal the less he knew what to make of him. As the seconds ticked by Malleus was becoming more and more convinced that it had been wise for him to check out Pyrrhic's supposedly divinely inspired catch. At the very least Tsarvix was confused on key points of their religion. At worst he could very well be there with evil intent. "You are mistaken if you think a demigod can be struck down so easily. Pyrrhic can handle himself; he has lived and breathed combat since his eyes first opened. Besides," he said firmly, "Any who so much as touch a child of the Fallen God will taste the fury of his people. This is known." Hopefully that would make him think twice if he was up to no good. "Is the Fallen God merciful?" Malleus hadn't been paying too close attention to where Tsarvix was but he did note that the mortal had stopped walking. After a few more steps Malleus did the same. A few more questions left Tsarvix's lips and Malleus, instead of just turning back halfway to meet his gaze, found it necessary to turn and face him fully. Those were serious questions. Questions Malleus didn't like. Tsarvix was far too new to their ranks to be having a crisis of faith. "The simplest answer is no, it is not up for interpretation by mortals. There are some exceptions to this; Pyrrhic's mother is mortal and an oracle. She has the diluted blood of a lesser god or spirit in her veins and that places her closer to the divine than most mortals. She speaks to spirits and loyal lesser gods, but when the Fallen God gives her a sign or a vision His will is not up for her to interpret. She is just the messenger." Malleus studied Tsarvix's face for a second before cautioning, "God is merciful, but just. His punishments and the sparing thereof always fit the crime. If you have questions it would be wise to ask them as they arise so you can be set straight if you are wrong lest your mind lead you astray and take you to a place you cannot come back from. Have faith in those who He has set aside to interpret His will." |
