"Why? Why do they do anything? Because they are greedy." Safrin said with a dismissive sigh. As for the Voice? "Power. The conquer. She tried to challenge the gods once, to take her place among us." The deity's teeth clicked together as she scowled. "My guess is now that she is free she will try to do it all again."
Raising a brow, Safrin merely shrugged. "The fae have always kept themselves separate from the affairs of humans. I am not sure why that would change now. But that isn't for me to say darling one. The ascended are the reason the Greatwood was dying. The Voice would have happily watched you all turn to blighted monsters if only to further her own agenda. Befriending one of them? Where's the harm in that?" Turning with a sweet but dangerous smile, Safrin added: "But that is precisely what we thought in the beginning too. Where is the harm in one little abandoned girl, who has found her way to stronger magic?"
