Ramblings of a Daughter

Well, the weekend went quickly and it is time for my to sit and tell my tale of bar hopping in Carnal City, Quontas to my scribe. Of course, another has begged for her tale to be told and my lady scribe seems to be torn between us. Alahnia, is her name, and she lives in Averyll, Garren. My poor scribe, she has so many stories to write and so little time! She has promised to write my tale one chapter at a time between my missions for Mother Terees.

Though, it seems Mother is a bit deliquent with her charges, her Shadow Guard. Too many problems on her scribe's homeworld of Dirt, it seems. Something about being a teacher and the problems thereof....with luck, she will return to us soon and be able to take a firmer grasp of us recalitrant children. ~wink~ Not that we need it, of course! lol

Father Quont has returned and I have recieved word that Lanesha, who has harried me quite often, has finally found herself within his dungeons! And it seems that Darnesha may find herself shackled beside her sister if she is not careful! Though I love my Father dearly, I must confess that I am thrilled to know they are finally gaining his fury! ~giggles~ Mostly because of the haressment I seem to garner from them at every turn! Sibling rivalry, you may think, but that is not the case! You see, I think it stems from the fact that I have been compared to them on many an occassion; My beauty, my seductive talents, and even the way I kill is all said to rival any of my Father's succubus! So, I think they are jealous that a mortal could be compared to them....and now that I am immortal, well, it seems that they just wish to kill me over and over and over again!

Good shall always prevail...but what if the one who is supposed to be "good" is not? What if she is neutral and walks both realms of good AND evil?

Bah, I always hated those types of questions! I think I shall go walk the shadows....tis more fun and less likely to get me into trouble!

Ponderings of a Daughter

I've been wondering, like all children do (despite the fact that I am an adult by human standards), about the odd relationship I have with the Mothers and Fathers of Mernac.

My mother, Terees, goddess of harmony and wisdom, is who gave me immortality. She refers to me and the rest of the Shadow Guards as her children. If they are all her children, then we are sisters and brothers, right? And that makes her our “mother” in all senses except blood.

I call Quont my father, for like a father he has been a stable and constant part of my life since I was but a small child. After the death of my birth-parents, he was there in Garren.

Does that mean he is also my uncle, if Terees, his sister, is my mother? Does that mean the other gods and goddesses, the rest of the Mothers and Fathers, are our aunts and uncles? Do I refer to the Mothers of Fathers as “Aunt” or “Uncle”?

It is so confusing and Mother Terees, well, she is a bit preoccupied with the dealings of her sisters and brothers. Perhaps Arleas would have the answer I seek.

Life is so confusing.
