Ill-Made Martyr [Open]

MaeA Of all the questions he could have asked, that was not one Maea had expected, and it took her slightly aback because she had never considered it before. Sitting down on the rubble of a ruin not far from the house where Peter had first appeared, she tugged a strand of hair behind her ear and gazed thoughtfully out over the Sanctuary. "The gods created the world" she said, falling back on the theology she had been taught as a child. "Caido created the world, it was named after the Creator, and the Creator also brought the Older gods into being. Their names are Vi, Rae and Mort, life, nature and death, and they in turn created man. I suppose... they govern the laws of the world, uphold them and serve their own purposes. But what those really are I don't know." Explaining about the races, the rise and fall of the Abandoned - or Acquired, as Jigano had called them - and the New gods took its time, but the girl was diligent and did as best she could, pausing every once in a while to make sure her new friend was keeping up. "I know it's a lot to take in" she eventually said. "Just take it slow, there won't be a test on any of it, åt least not for a while. Just keep your wits about you and be smart, and you'll be fine." you're so cold, but you feel alive.
