Tryin' to wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
This lust is a burden that we both share
Even as an Accepted, Liam had never expected his prayers to be answered. Perhaps it spoke to an underlying lack of self-worth, but as his seeds burst into bloom, the ex-dragoon started, blinking stupidly at the flowers. Maybe Maea had been right, and the gods really would smile on him today.
When a voice spoke from behind him, he was therefore both surprised and not. He turned to find a golden-skinned being, clad only in red lichen, and bowed his head respectfully. ”All of the Greatwood is beautiful,” he responded. ”It’s a shame that people haven’t seen it for its true worth.” And he wasn’t talking about the flowers. The Greatwood had plenty to offer even before becoming a destination in which to hunt for Vi’s Roses.
But that wasn’t the reason for his visit. ”I wondered if there was a way to block the Family from hearing our conversations. I understand that they have some weaknesses; I thought that perhaps that could be utilized against them. I wrote down an idea -“ he said, fumbling around in a pocket for a slip of paper, which he offered to the deity. On the paper was a description of a ring that, when activated, would create a sound barrier from air magic. ”Would such a thing be possible?”

Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
