Thread: Lost in space

they nodded at his assessment. we cannot yet undue the changes without risking your very life in the process... much research will have to go into the returning you to normal... and even then, it will be very dangerous, for there will be no test subjects to be sure that you will not suffer pain or side effects... Rual admitted softly. yes, punish me. mistakes are allowed, yes... but this is more than a mistake. she admitted. 'i have caused serious damage to your system, i may have emotionally scarred you, and there is no way to be certain that i can change you back. accident or not, i have caused you grief, serious grief and i should be punished for that. she admitted, looking upset and worried as Alma put in a new translator. punishment in this case would be minor Trace. Alma admitted simply. it's more to help Rual over her guilt for harming you, than anything else. she informed him, setting her hand on Rual's shoulder. you will report before the Temple for your punishment tomorrow. the High Lord will decide your punishment. she assured the woman who nodded, Alma turning to Trace. if she goes unpunished, her honor as a Healer will be on the line. she explained to him. and it will help her guilt, which will help her focus. she admitted. because it was an accident, the punishment will be light, because you hold her to no ill will for it, the punishment will be even lighter. she assured him. it will be a few strikes across her back, or a day without food. that is all. very light. she assured him. come, we will get you better clothes. she promised him. and i will show you around the other parts of the village that i haven't yet shown you. she promised. we will go to the Temple, and ask the Lady Mother to aid in your return to normal. she promised him, smiling at him. perhaps we will take offerings to the Three Gods as well? she asked. she knew that he would probobly not understand their religion, but the Gods and the Lady Mother would guide them, as they always had. she led the way to various places to gather their sacrifices'. peppers, hotter than anything he would ever find on earth. rare spices, and a cake so fluffy, it looked like it might float away. she also picked large flowers that where almost as big as his head. the items gathered, along with paper, and a pencil. they went into the Temple, which was rather massive. there where Four large stain glass windows, three on the bottom, and one on top. each window depicted a figure. the largest one on the top, was of a gorgeous woman clad in white and green, her arms held out, as if offering comfort. under her where three more women, one clad in red, one clad in browns, yellows, and oranges, and the last clad in bright greens, yellows, and pinks. that's the Lady Mother... the Earth Goddess. Alma explained suddenly. she protects and loves us. her body is our world. she gave birth to the Three Sun's, the three Gods. the first is Roan, she is the god of Fire, love, and passion. she rules during the hot days of the summers. then there is Theorat, she is the god of Wind, and change. she rules over the Fall, when the plants, and the suns first start to rest. the Lady Mother, rules over the Winter and the water, and the days of rest and slumber. during her rule, is the only time there is darkness. she admitted. it is a time for the world to rest. and then there is the God Fauir, she is in charge of all the green and growing things, she brings fertility and life and rules over spring. she admitted, smiling at him as she indicated four basins in the chamber. we make our offerings there. they where facing each direction, North, East, South, and West in a small circle. there was water, very rare salt, plants, and fire in each bowl, symbolizing the symbiosis of the gods and the Lady mother, and how they worked together. she wrapped the offerings together, and threw it into the fire in the middle of the Basins, and bowed her head, and spread her wings wide, whispering in her natural, pretty language, writing something onto the piece of paper, before throwing it, and the pencil into the fire as well. the Gods, will be pleased i think. she admitted, smiling at him. it is a beautiful place here, i like to come here to the temples, it feels as if the gods are right here net to me, guiding my wings, and my way.
