"Vi. Right. That one." Amanda couldn't for the life of her remember which one Vi was. One of the old ones, maybe? She had really never paid attention. She hated all the gods equally.
She was almost grateful for the stranger distracting her away from the talk of gods. Until she saw why he was distracted. She walked over to the dead ramphire. She'd seen the same thing before, out in the wilds.
She crouched over the beasts to examine them. No blood, no clear indication of what had caused the death. Just like last time. "This is weird," she said, gesturing to the bodies. "I saw the exact same thing happen a couple of weeks ago. I didn't think much of it at the time, but twice? That's too strange."
Still, she wasn't one to let good materials go to waste. She took out her new belt knife--the replacement for the one that had been changed into a dildo--and got to work on slaughtering the remains for their body parts. The horns, hooves, and feathers would fetch a decent price for trade.
"You seen something like this before?" she asked the stranger. "Maybe Vi sent down their divine hand to smite the poor things?"
