Last week things came to a head with the conflict between the Naga and the Garuda. The Sun God's gem was taken away by Sahaya the snake ring and it doesn't look like Sondra's house will ever be ordering whale oil or gas ever again. The enmity of the Garuda has been incurred, but the friendship of the Naga has been earned, and somebody must have been done something right, for the characters may now call light once a day - a small, floating glowing sheaf of jewelled brazen wheat (the grain heads appear to be tiny rubies) which may be directed within 1 metre of the caller, illuminating a three metre radius with a soft glow. The light will last for 115 minutes unless extinguished by the command of its caller. There is no substance to the wheat, one may pass one's hand through it. It feels pleasantly warm, like a rock in the sun on a spring day.
Quote of the night.
Sahaya the Naga: I am a servant of Heaven!

"Yeah, right!"
these inferior religions have often have delusions of grandeur
ReplyDeleteNothing good usually happens when someone starts claiming to be a servant of heaven.
