Chapter 10

Having granted a place amongst the denizens of the Tree, Mae finally joined
the fight on the side of Thar Eris. However, she fights for loss to claim its
prize, those who which to enrich themselves, enslave, and cheat the cycle
must be challenged, and spirits cleansed through blood and combat. This war
for the return of the wilds claims many on all sides, a perfect place for Mae
to reflect on her losses through pain, and help those who would fall on their
swords when they too end up on the losing side of the coin flip.

She bared witness and experienced how one succumbs to loss, the dwarf
Commander Nossos and Harbringer Admund. The dwarven son far gone, claimed by
demonic magics and the ranger who lost a father only to be shown it need to
be so. One gained strength, the other falling into despair. Mae was energized
by the event, she even did battle with Nossos and the abomination that had
become his son. Much was learned and she craves more.

Lastly, her powers granted are healing in nature, often seen as the
antithesis of loss. She does not see view them as such. They are weak all
things considered, she is no priest but a warrior that can extend the fight.
They are a sadistic taste of what salvation could be, but in the end they
just prolong pain, and allow one to experience pain a little longer. Even
when she sets the bones and tends to bleeding, it is not something that is
devoid of pain, the recipient, often herself, suffers the joy of pain.
