Blackeye
Not the strongest win the battle —
Many pages in Darkeyes book were already filled but he still had problems understanding this world. It was hard for him to learn all things anew. He liked to learn new things but this was different. Always a step behind. And Kor did not answer his prayer. It was time to do something. Darkeye would go to a shrine and pray to Kor there. Looking up from his book he started to talk. "That is a very important duty. And death is something where you can smile. You see all your loved ones again. I think the soul shepherd needs a little fun too."
Darkeye remembered each dragon he fought. And any soul that died as they did so. People that he called friends. People he would love to have back. But this wasn't possible. They waited for him in the next life. Darkeyes face was sad for just a moment. Then he smiled again. "When it is a dragon I don't think you have to cook it. For the pup. Dragons like the smell of blood. At least dragons from my world. It can be different here." Darkeye tried to focus on drawing the gourd.
Darkeye looked where she was pointing. "The shrines, do you need them to talk with the gods? Or can they answer your prayers elsewhere? I will try it myself then. Maybe will I get more answers about what my place in this world is."
