Chapter 3

Raising in power and knowledge, Sekhmette was surprised to learn his familiar
was a raven. This gives him mild concern - was he flighty, disorderly as a
bird? He'd expected something like a viper - his betrayal of his father's
legacy like a serpent -or an ifrit - his desert heritage. Nevertheless, he has
named the raven Pinions - or Pini for short.



Sekhmette attempted to leave a fire giant ranger alone while hunting the
desert marauders. This proved to be a mistake, since Vuorog slew his familiar-
and nearly Sekhmette - on sight, altering his view of the natural peoples from
'incomprehensible' to 'actively as bad as bandits', which explains to him why
the Empire employs none. Since he is not strong enough to fight the ranger by
himself yet, he decided to finally go on pilgrimage and find the temple of
Destuvius.

Successful, after much scouring of the ruins, he read and observed much in
the Divine Asylum and was glad to find many examples on how to live, including
etiquette on how to act even when defeated - a balm to his sore spirit after
Pini got destroyed by the fire giant. What was most inspirational, however,
was the great sculpture of the Palace in the shrine's entryway.

Sekhmette decided it was time to fully oath himself to the Empire,
consqeuences be damned, and let the entire world know his convictions.
