Seren
Seren listened to his unfolding tale with bated breath and rapt attention. It was a story but better, and made real by the true fondness she sensed in him as he spoke. There was a curious maturity to the way he spoke that jarred with the youthful face, and she found herself wondering if he was a bit like herself. Displaced in time as well as body, able to view the world from a different perspective.
It became strange when Sah revealed that he had been born a wolf. It took some adjusting for her mind to comprehend, but she did have the imagination to put herself in his shoes. If she suddenly became a wolf... How strange would that not be.
"Your Mune sounds a little bit like my mother," Seren reflected, turning her gaze up to a sky that was too daybright and cloudy for stars. "She is a goddess of the stars, and Herald to the god of life. I find it a little strange that you did not manifest here as an Attuned... but if your magic was as strong as you say, then perhaps that was what weighed in the most."
Seren stole glances at Sah from the corners of her eyes, trying to spot the wolf in him. But all she could see was a man, young and serious, occasionally a little boyish.
"If it's any comfort, you can develop your magic to become stronger," she added with a smile. "And if you decide to follow the Old Gods, one day you might even get your old form back. Ah - sorry. I'm not trying to preach or anything like that. Please don't read too much into it." She made a gesture with her hands, as if to wars away any protests before they could be spoken. She offered him a sheepish smile.
"I'm still learning about Caido too," she confided, offering up some of her own story. "I was created, rather than born... and when Mother brought me here I already had the body of a five-year old. You can imagine my father's surprise when I just kept growing. Would you believe me, if I said I was 'born' in Leafchange, year 310?" Again blue eyes lingered on the young man; her tale was just as strange as his, if not more so.
