Amun had told Letha about the disagreements between the Old gods and the Voice, and now Letha was living it, without having even met any of the aforementioned deities. Her eyes stayed on the girl as she spoke, and as she moved back towards her. Letha knew she was going to leave her, with the way she was packing up her treasures. However, Seren did seem to relax. Letha stepped forward to grasp the second gift from the child. "Thank you, Seren." it was all she could manage to say.
The girl left, and Letha stayed.
Letha leaned her back against the stone of the lighthouse, crossing her arms over her body. In each hand she held the stones the girl had given her, and sank to the floor of the entry way. She breathed out, a useless, unneeded, shuddering breath.

Where will I find peace other than in oblivion?
