WESSEX
out of the night that covers me
“Right,” Wessex says with a nod in agreement with And with that, she gestures for the two of them to follow and proceeds to find the false aisle of books, feeling her way along the edges until she finds the hand holds and pulls the fake wall apart. Inside is a small obsidian sphere. She gently wipes all the dust away from the shelf and off the ball. Picking up all the old offerings, she puts them in a pocket in her cloak to dispose of later. Discerning eyes glance over the altar now and finding it to her satisfaction, place the tome in front of the altar, open to the first page. Wessex steps back and takes her customary knee, bowing her head to her chest. She makes no move for Sam or Maea to do the same - they are free to make their own choices and worship (or not worship) as they wish. “Lady,” she begins quietly and calmly. “We come hoping you might be able to enlighten your bright ones so they can help the rest of Caido in your name.” So they can say The Voice told us, and see? She is good. black as the pit from pole to pole i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul |

the VOICE Electricity and the scent of petrichor fill the space as the holographic form of the Voice suddenly breezes through the shrine. She sits atop it, looking down at them with a mischievous sort of pleasure. "Hello Wessex." She says fondly, her startlingly blue stare crisp and warm, lingering on one of her brightest children before falling to Sam. "Hello Sam." She adds, eyes falling upon him and the book. Before addressing his request however, she looks softly to Maea with the faintest of smiles. "Oh child. Look at what they have done to you.." For a moment her hand stretches outwards, and though Maea is not close, her fingers curve as if they can somehow stroke the side of her face. For a moment, colour and clarity burst into Maea's crackled and blurry vision and she sees. Grains of dust that linger lazily in the air, the soft sigh of the heavier books on the shelves, the way that neither Wessex nor Sam take a breath... ..and then it is gone. "You could have been so bright." She concludes forlornly, before turning back to her two children. "A text?" She asks curiously. "I take it it is not one that you can read?"

the VOICE Maea's anger makes her sad. She had been hoping to feel excitement, passion, want. An echo of some latent curiosity that perhaps the word would not need to be so muddled. But there was just anger. The Voice had learned long ago that anger was useless when not wielded properly. And with eyes blind and confused, of course she would not see her own destruction wrapped in dusky grey rags. "The monsters..." She repeats, looking at the three sets of eyes before her, before holding her hand out for the book. The electric sapphire sheen of her eyes suddenly flickers, and the words of the book are reflected in her eyes. For a moment her lips twist into a small smile, though she shakes her head. "This is very old. I can read it for you ... or you can gather the materials I need to allow you to read it yourselves." Unfortunately her words now are just for Wessex and Sam. Apologetically she looks towards Maea, a sad smile on her lips. You could have been so bright... the Wraith

the VOICE "Yes. If you bring me what I require I could upgrade your eyes—" Here, she not so subtly looks towards Maea with a sad frown. "—so that you could read them on your own." She concluded with a smile and nod in Wessex's direction. Turning towards Sam, the Voice paused, lips twisting with amusement. "And if it was difficult?" She asked with an adoring shrug. "What you stumble upon will never be as potent as what I can create for you." The Voice clarified with another small shrug. the Wraith
