MAEA
Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, this suffering
I feel no more, this suffering
The instruction was simple enough, and Maea nodded her understanding with an easy smile, glad that she could indeed do something. The spirits had certainly been of great help if they truly brought Delphia to her, and a little incense was the least she could offer in return. She'd given far more valuable things to shrines and prayers before, after all.
To her surprise, the Seer was not put off by her admittance of being one of the less favored. Maea had expected her to, so deeply attuned to the gods as she were, and her expression reflected the astonished delight she felt at the simple acceptance. The warmth, the loving tone - it made her want to hug the dark-haired woman, cry and spill all the pain and hurt accumulated over the years...
She restrained herself.
"Good, I'm glad you're so willing. Can we... perhaps go inside? I don't do well in the sunlight this particular season."
If Delphia would assent, Maea would lead them into the Temple and off to where the shrine had been. While the roof had caved in and light poured down onto the rubble in thick rivers, there was still far more shade than outside, if perhaps not any cooler.
"When I asked Ludo if there was something I could do for it, I was told that there is a creature that are troubling the souls of those who are buried in Ludo's Woods,"" Maea explained as she sat down on one of the few pews that still remained undamaged. "I don't know what the thing is though, and Ludo did not specify. Do you know anythign about it?""

Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin
