Arialla smiled, appreciating the reassurance from both Kalynd and Jigano. "If the gods cannot answer my plea directly, I would hope that they could at least set me on the right path ..."
She noted Jigano's sphere-checking curiously, but decided not to ask about it, considering the amount of information she was already requesting. How many more new concepts could she even handle right now? Instead, she focused on his account of the gods. "Samuel told me about the Voice. He said that she brought us all here ... I can't say that inclines me very favorably towards her."
The idea of something malevolent answering her prayer almost made her wince. Yes, there were always those who would take advantage of faith, and here, adrift from her god's protection, she might need to be careful.
"I serve ... served" -- putting it in the past tense hurt -- "Apollo, god of the sun, lord of light, music, and healing."
