Blood Tells the Beginning
Deity’s just messing around— feel free to hop in!

Deity nearly leaped out of her skin when a pale blur fell from the sky and landed before her. She took a few hurried steps back, startled. Her hackles were raised and her legs stiff— she was posed to defend. As she glared at the predator, she realized it was just a wolf. A young, slender female stood before her. Her stature was anything but threatening. Deity, chuffing in mild amusement at her reaction, straightened up and shook herself. ”Sorry about that. You caused me quite the start,” She said. Then, she comprehended the woman’s previous question. ”It certainly is. I was just hoping to find some shade before heading out East,” she responded, squinting in the brightness as she met the woman’s eyes. ” What are you doing all the way out here? In no-man’s-land?” She asked, tilting her head inquisitively. She didn’t think any wolves actually lived out here. It was far too hot for anyone to live here, or so she’d thought. Maybe the stranger was simply exploring Boreas or something. Maybe she’d gotten lost. The latter didn’t quite sit with Deity; she seemed far too comfortable clambering over the rocks to just be passing through. |
And so our haloes became collars and golden chains; our proud, shining divinity became the very thing that bound us.
