Love, let's talk about love
Nodding in full agreement, Seren beamed quietly under his approval. It was far more than she ever thought she would have after revealing the atrocities committed in Stormbreak.
"This is why I was so keen to get involved with Halo's politics," she admitted. "With leaders aligned with my gods, I get more chances to influence things, by virtue of being a demigod. If mages could find and harness the mageglass, and use their powers in the name of the Old Gods, it might go a long way to mend the rift." Marvelous structures built by magic, artwork and enchanted items, sorcelled gardens abundant with food - all dedicated to the gods, crafted with care and to support their fellow humans... That was her dream. Halo with its secluded location and tough environment lent itself to creative solutions, and the mageglass opened up realms of possibilites that would be impossible elsewhere.
"I also really want to do something about Stormbreak. If Halo seems to be about to fall into the hands of the Voice, the Order might be tempted to step in and take over. That would be awful. They already have too much influence - their attitudes can't be allowed to spread to other regions. Nor can they be permitted to keep up their barbaric practices. I'm going to speak to Mother about it... and even if she won't help, I'm sure there's something I can do to improve things."
There had to be. Even if that something meant tearing the place down brick by brick until everyone could see what the organization at the head of her current home really looked like. Well... maybe. Hopefully things didn't have to get that dramatic.

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
