Role

Chapter 5

Mae departed the shrine, a mix of emotions ran through her mind, sadness,
anger, pain, and excitement. Rahsael had sent or appeared to her as a doll,
used up but not discarded. A doll not unlike that one Mae had played with as
a child. The mere sight of the doll almost caused her to break down in tears,
how could the deity do this, but then she realized, how could he not, it
must have been done to help realize her loss need not be forgotten, it needed
to be cherished, nurtured, and maintained. But who are mortals to dare to
even think they understand the thoughts of a god, her pain may have just been
entertaining. However, Mae decided this would be the gateway to the tenets of
the faith but the path was still a ways away for now. The doll provided two
tasks, have an ally and enemy experience loss. The task excited Mae, for it
would allow her to experience loss through someone elses emotional and
physical reactions. She would need to first find worthwhile allies and
enemies, a connection, emotional and perhaps even physical would be ideal.
Perhaps it was time she chose a cabal, for what better way to accomplish the
aforementioned. Deciding that she needs to truly connect with both ally and
enemy, for this to be worthwhile. Lastly, the encounter allowed for some
reflection, what Mae defined as loss, how it affected her, and her longing
for more.
