Disciples and Deadly Things

PHOEBE

A small blush colored her cheeks. "You are very free flowing with compliments, you know that?" she said with a small smile. "It isn't about being great. It's just about trying to be better. Not letting indecision stop you from continuing forward. I'm not great at it all the time. It's something you work at." she said.

But he seemed willing then to simply sit and contemplate, and she was happy enough to fall silent too. She finished her sandwich then sipped some of her lemonade, enjoying the pretty setting of the glade. At length he spoke again and she glanced over at him, laughing a bit at his question. "Oh no. Anything the deities have told me is pretty fair game I think." she said. "And to be fair I have only met Safrin, Ludo and Frey. Vi, Mort, and Rae were outside the barrier and couldn't hear any of us...and they are the sort of head gods so I doubt they've much time for little people like me. That's why they have the other three as heralds." she explained. "So...if you pray to Rae, for example, more than likely Frey would be the one to answer. Though they don't answer all the time." she said and shrugged a little.

"Ludo I met briefly during Long Night. They are connected to Mort, the god of death, and guide dead souls into the afterlife. They uhm...well they think I am sort of stupid and I frankly don't blame them based on how I acted when I met them. But if you pray to them, be on your guard. They like to play tricks from what I hear."

"Then Safrin...I have only met her once too. But she was very kind and very helpful. She is connected to Vi, the god of life. She would be good if you have questions, as she seemed very willing to answer mine. Safrin is actually the reason I survived Long Night. She blessed me with a whisper fish that followed me around, keeping the monsters at bay."

"Then there is Frey, who I have met the most. They are connected to Rae, who is the god of basically everything in between life and death. Perhaps nature would be the best word for it? Frey themselves is ah..." Here was the make it or break it part, the part where she might see Killian's true colors based on his reaction to this. "Frey is the deity of sexuality, sensuality, and pleasure...I would even venture to say fertility in a way though not necessarily directly, and if they are it seems to be their secondary concern. Frey takes the form of whatever you find most appealing when you meet them, but they can be very quickly bored if you stray very far from the things they are interested in. But...they have helped me grow as a person a great deal, and helped to focus on working on my confidence." she said with a small smile. "Oh, and they like presents. I bring them fruit as an offering but uh...if you wanted I am sure they would be pleased as punch with an offering of a more sexual nature if you feel so compelled." she said, her cheeks turning dark red.

I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy
