Not for His Sake

Phoebe I know I am good at something, I just haven't found it yet To have her confidence meant the world to Phoebe. It made her own soar and for the first time in a long while she felt she had purpose. There was still Frey’s quest, which was more an area she needed to grow personally, but without anyone needing a midwife she had felt a bit lost. But Safrin had given her a task she would shoulder with seriousness and see carried out to the best of her ability. Phoebe wasn’t sure if she had seen Ludo’s work, nor was she sure she would be able to if they were a divine trickster. But that they could be more dangerous than Frey (who she still wasn’t sure was truly dangerous if they did not take the unwilling as they said…though there could definitely be more to that than she knew) gave her pause. They fell under the god of death and played with dreams. She would be sure to tread lightly with them. ”Frey is under Rae, Ludo is under Mort…and you are under Vi.” she summarized with a small smile. ”If you were to describe yourself, what it is you deal with, what would you say?” It was the first question she had asked about the goddess, and the one Bastien had not been able to answer. The stars in her hair only led to possibilities. Was she representative of light itself? Was she the moon and stars, and another deity elsewhere the sun? Was she infinite knowledge, guardian of the world’s greatest mysteries? She took Safrin’s warning to heart and nodded. ”I will make sure to go there as soon as I can. Thank you for the warning Safrin. And thank you for your kindness and patience with me.” Phoebe was determined to not let her down. She would see word of these deities, Rae, Mort, and Vi, and their counterparts here Frey, Ludo, and Safrin, spread and understood. She had to. It was her purpose now. And then a shadow knocked over the candle and….melted?? Phoebe gasped and started to her feet, heart thumping as adrenaline rushed through her veins. The shadow no longer seemed like more than a shadow but…where was it being cast from? She looked above it, not seeing the floating thing that should have been casting the dark spot on the ground. Wide brown eyes filled with trepidation looked back over at Safrin. ”U-uhm… I am assuming you know what that is…was…is?” she said, finally settling on is since the shadow was still on the ground.
