"Of course. I just didn't know how it would go when the other is essentially, yourself", Timea commented. "Well, how does it communicate, then?"

"Hmm. Phrasing it differently; Has either enlisted help from forces not of this world?" Timea questioned. "I ask, since lots of folk not of this world have been appearing, ourselves included. " she continued, motioning over the group when saying "ourselves". "And from what I've seen, nothing on this world happens without a deity causing it. And if neither deity has made any headway fighting personally, or with their people, I think this might be a logical next step."

"A variety of rituals can be performed, yes. Things to help crops grow, protect settlements and so on. Settlements without healing sorcerers can use rituals to help heal people, too. But worship is mostly prayer and that sort of thing." the priestess said. She then spent a few moments considering Timea's rephrased question. After thinking it over she replied, "Hmm... I can't say I've heard of that happening, but if a deity could do that, I don't see why they wouldn't. If someone from one of these 'other worlds' killed the sun god then it's a reasonable assumption."

"Suppose we would want to speak with the goddess, what would we have to do? Just pray and hope she answers? Or is there some ritual that could help?"

"Well... since Calibeth ended up dead, I do doubt it was His doing. And if... " Timea began, but then praised off for a moment, looking a bit awkwardly at the priestess. "... Apologies, but I couldn't pronounce the name - if you don't know if the Goddess is capable of such a thing, I can think of two scenarios: One, the Goddess can, it's only not known, as She has never done it before. Or two, a third party is responsible."

She then paused for a moment, folding her arms. "Which do you think is more likely?"

When everyone was ready, Robin started up the road to the capital, the bags he was "holding" floating behind him.

[color=9f2089]"I've still got legs."[/color] Cybil brushed off Robin's offer as she continued down the road.

"It just..." Sibylla paused for a moment to think. "Let's me know, Ah guess." She decided on saying, not really knowing how else to word her statement.

The sisters went along as well. Magic Eye did the usual routine of mapping out the mountains in its 3D map.

"Magic Eye, what's our elevation?"

"Prayer. I can't think of any rituals that would help." the priestess said, before considering what Timea had said, again. "I'd say both are equally likely, right now."

[hr]

Vesh Eastern Road

Magic Eye would find that the group was currently a few metres over sea level.

"Okay, good. What's the height of the mountain?"

"Any particular reason?"

"Just curious."

Magic Eye would take a moment to gather its data recorded from the infrared laser and calculate the mountain's height.

Mathan Daer Area - Day 4
You sigh sadly, and then reply. [color=0066cc]"It is easier to list the things they haven't done. Basically, the Vell-Os went to war with the predecessor to the Federation called the Colonial Council. They did this to protect an isolationist group living beyond the star Polaris from invasion. After a bloody war where the Council was defeated in every battle, the Vell-Os surrendered to avoid further loss of life. The Council responded by razing every world the Vell-Os controlled and enslaved those who survived. I'm unclear of how many died, but those planets are still uninhabitable centuries later."[/color] You pause for a moment to let it sink in, while also figuring out what to say next. [color=0066cc]"The Feds tell everyone that the Vell-Os now serve willingly, but I don't buy it. The Federation is no less corrupt than the Council was."[/color]

"So... you feel what it's feeling, in these cases", Timea commented, largely speaking to herself. She blew a soft sigh, then continued. "It's not a great lot to go on. I suppose we'll have to "play it by ear", as it were. Tell me if Kuku is conveying something to you, okay?"

"I suppose we'll have to speak with the Goddess, to get confirmation or denial of Her involvement, directly", Timea commented. "On the topic, let me add on what my bodyguard is asking about: Can the Goddess only be reached by prayer, or does She still have a physical form that can be reached?"

Not knowing any more questions for the priestess, Anik waited for the answer she would give Timea.

Rebecca stayed quiet, as she thought over everything Shara had explained. Then, after some time, she said, [color=446ccf]"I guess that explains why you weren't to fond of the idea of the Calibethan Empire getting hold of more advanced weapons."[/color]

"Only by prayer. As far as I'm aware, she doesn't have a physical form. I think that's just something the Calibethan deities do." the priestess replied.

[hr]

Vesh Eastern Road

Magic Eye would find the mountain was approximately 4km tall at its highest point.

Anik had a new question, only tangentially related to the previous ones: "Say, can you tell me what the difference between magic and miracles is? Could magic not be one type of miracle, from other gods or something?

And ... I don't know if you can answer me this, but what magic is used by the Vesh who can actually use it? You spoke about healing magic, but is there some other?"

Cybil said nothing in response to Robin and quickened her pace to walk ahead of him.

[hr]

Sibylla nodded to Timea. "If'n Ah kin tell when it's happenin', Ah will."

"Okay. Well, with nothing else we can do without this particular thing, right now, let's move on, shall we?" After saying this, Timea approached the entrance to the temple.
[hr]
Utarra, Shrine - Day 5 - 09:14

Timea let out a "hmm" at the priestess' answer, She was quiet as Anik asked her question, having wondered about this, herself, and pondered the information that had been given, so far.

After the priestess answered Anik, Timea asked, "On a related note; Why are most Vesh'Rah incapable of preforming witchcraft? If your people were created, specifically to combat Calibeth and His people, wouldn't it be more beneficial to have you able to do such things?"
