Greyriver Steading - Slivikhi's Clearing

Ekero wavered at seeing the newcomer and the blonde warrior drop to her knees unsure what to do. There was denying there was a otherworldliness about this cloaked woman and this whole encounter. As if she had simply stepped away from the shadows, coming in the witching hour, the twilight.

He had witnessed many things in life that could not be easily explained even by learned men and maybe she was indeed a goddess but the Zadrid, knelt in adoration or subservience to no one, not even to the Beast from the Deep or His Bastard.

And the woman Voah called 'Old Mother' looked more concerned with the sacrificial stone that she did with his presence. She was not here for him that was clear. She was here for the Arbiter. And although a curious man he did not want to know how deep this woman could see into the tides of blood that had been spilled in this accursed place. He remained quiet.

"So many souls still trapped here. Ghosts of ages past. So raw and untamed. Weighed down by this stone." she walked past Voah to stand near the alien stone and placed her marble coloured fingers across its surface.

"Even Slivikhi had a claim here it seems." he grinned. "He refuses to die. Even in these distant shores..." she said and slowly turned back to Voah.

"We don't have much time. I cannot delay much longer. War is coming and you need to play your part..."
