“I vote against this madness,” Rubida sternly raises her point and her arm as well. You wonder how bad her old wound hurts at the mention of working with the Stilladìa. Even if the Adversary seems to be different from the Seven Sisters, the fret in Rubida’s tone clearly shows she wants nothing to do with either. You can hardly blame her. “We will honour this mission through our strength alone.”
You would have agreed with her without even thinking, just a few weeks ago. But the changes you went through, and these visions — and Willow’s words… you are starting to wonder what your destiny truly is, and what Ansàrra requires of you. And if perhaps your quest won’t bring you in deep dark places ere it lifts you in the light.
“Okay,” Willow says, “that’s good, but that does not solve our troubles. I’d say that we may let her put her neck on the line. Who cares if some Asterite’s soul gets gobbled up anyway?” She hesitates, licks her lips, full of worry. “Wonder what happens to ours… at any rate, my suggestion would be to let her do it, but she would lay the entire process out first. I don’t trust a woman who speaks with the Stars.”
“I support this…” Soralisa trembling holds up her own arm. “And in fact, I would suggest we allow her to do it, no matter what. If the Asterite wants to sacrifice something of hers for the mission, don’t we all benefit from it?”
“That’s shrewd,” Willow grins. “Coming from you? I’m surprised.”
“Soralisa—” Rubida starts to interject herself in the conversation, but you hold up your arm and she stops.
Uh.
