the stories i could tell
"There are many who, despite our sunlight intolerances, have found a home in Torchline. Sunjata might favour the goddess, but he cannot keep his position as Governor for long if it means sacrificing the safety of his people...and if he does?" The Voice shrugs with a small smile.

The Voice isn't so surprised by Wessex's decision. Just as a passive approach to battle wasn't her style, leading involved a certain amount of accountability and staying-put that was not necessarily in the Wraith's coding. But that's precisely what made her such an invaluable member of their family, much as the others might not see it.
"I'll leave the politics of that up to you." As for the crossbow? The Voice wrinkles her nose. "It's a rather archaic weapon, a crossbow. I'd not add on to the work of an abandoned."But could Deimos change it? Probably yes. "Nate has an arrow he can control with his mind. Given the arrow's fiery nature, it might be better to have a weapon that can't so easily be turned against our own in battle."
