Her questions were answered! Senu was glad that she had not scared away her new companion already with that barrage of questions. Listening attentively, she processed every little detail of what was being said in response to her questions. She talked about one of Caido’s races, the Ascended removing the dome by freeing a goddess that was held captive in the tall black tower that rose like a sword into the sky. The Spire was nothing like the Great Pyramids back home in Egypt. She had seen them once before when she accompanied her father on a trip across the endless deserts.
The tower was tall but black and ugly, a grotesque sight compared to the shimmering grandeur of the majestic great pyramids of Khufu and Khafre. She didn’t think that she would ever seen anything that would top it, and this Spire wasn’t even a contest. Her thoughts moved on as the Fae was mentioned, little people with wings. What kind of wings did they have? When there was a break in between the woman’s words, Senu would ask her. “What kind of wings does the Fae have? Bird wings or insect wings?”
She nodded in acknowledgement when she was warned about the terrible storms in the east. This was good information to remember. She did not want to risk her life in any storms just yet. The most interesting part came next, about the other races that inhabited Caido. The Ascended were cool people that needed no food or sleep, but could not come into the rays of the sun.
Senu could not imagine living such a life away from the rays of Amun’s blessing. To live in darkness forever was a terrible fate to imagine, and it sent a shiver down her spine as the thought passed her mind. The Abandoned were magic people, and the Attuned could turn into animals. This, she found the most interesting. She loved animals, and if anything, she would like to get to know more about these Attuned. The Accepted were the normal humans of Caido, and she was most likely now one of them, since she didn’t feel any more special than before.
Senu gave her newest companion a warm smile as the other woman offered food and shelter for the night in her apothecary, before she could spend some time to figure out what to do next. Find a more permanent home would definitely be a priority, but for now, she would be more than happy to just take what had just been so graciously been offered to her. "I'd like that. To go back with you to your apothecary."
