Rak'keli smiled. She was one of the softer deities, and especially loving of the Konti. She studied Nira'lia for a moment, but she knew very quickly the young woman's resolve was true and strong. She acted out of a true desire to help, not selfishly as many mortals did. "When the man looked to the sky, he somehow connected to our world. I think Sarin is a most interesting being. I cannot tell you what it is he saw exactly, but know it was a momentous moment - know it was the source of the storm that ravaged your lands." The Goddess ruffled her hair, but it shone with a sheen not possible for a human or a Konti. It had a lustre that only the divine could hold. Nira'lia would find herself now standing in the darkness, feeling as if there were a plane of solid ground beneath her. She no longer swam, though there were still no visible walls or floor in this dark place of shining stars. "If it is true that you want Sarin cured, I can help you. You will act as my conduit, and through you I will cure him of his blindness. Think carefully on this though Konti. If you choose this course of action you will forever be marked by me. You will not be able to cure the blind with the mark, but you will forever show your faith in me, and you will be able to cure small mortal ailments. What say you, my beautiful daughter?" |
