Sah
Sah returned the hug just as fiercely. The choice was simple yes, but built on hours of agony. Of adapting to a new world, finding the balance between past morals and current applications. Applying old rules and beliefs to a new reality and finding which ones needed to be disregarded. It had been a rough year. But Sah was sure in his choice. To disregard the Gods in teh equation and focus on those he loved. Possibly a dangerous choice, but it was the one that was right for him.
Holding his friend tightly, Sah listened closely to Seren's thoughts. Her idea, her dream, had his eyes widening. "You want to redeem the Abandoned in the eyes of the Old Gods." The Abandoned's voice was filled with awe and clear pride. "I'll do whatever I can to aid that dream."
Sah bit his lip and grimaced slightly. "Someone actually sent me on a hunt with false information. I assume they wanted me dead, though I don't know why. And I haven't managed to track them down yet. If that kind of thing happened to me for no apparent reason, I imagine other Abandoned have dealt with similar things."
Determined eyes matched the Demi-gods. "If we lessen the prejudice, even a little, that'll make the every day life of the Abandoned just a bit easier. If we make their daily lives even a fraction safer, it'll be worth it." It very well may be a foolish dream built on naivety, but it was something to hold on to. A glimmer of hope for a better, brighter future.
