Rhiannon
If she thought about it too hard, she might lose her nerve. She'd meant what she said to Safrin, of course - she would gladly pledge herself to the herald and would have no regrets in doing so - but there was still something profound about it. Once it was done, she couldn't take it back. Perhaps a wiser soul would have wondered what Safrin got out of the bargain, but Rhi couldn't bring herself to care. She was getting what she wanted, and for that gift alone, Safrin had earned her eternal loyalty.
"I am yours," she said, almost demure as she bowed her head respectfully. "Until my heart ceases to beat." And so it was that starlight rippled from Safrin's hands, covering Rhi's very soul with something wild and untameable that somehow soothed the rough edges of her magic, creating a surface upon which a new Attuned bond could cling.
She was a hybrid. Now and forever bound to the goddess before her.
"Thank you," Rhiannon said. "I will serve you well. I swear it."
