Role

Chapter 2

Venturing forth into the world, Mwauka quickly acquires the attention of both
the Divine and the servants of the Divine, two paladins. Due to their
kindness, and sparring with the storm giant, Mwauka was left with an
appreciation of these representatives of the Light that would show him grace
despite his origin. However, he was summoned by Rarywey, the goddess he had
propositioned in worry about the state of his soul, in the midst of the
paladin aiding Mwauka in hunting a necromancer for his Pledge in Voralian
City. His conversation with Rarywey brought him new perspective on both his
own existance and on what the Light was. After all, he would trust deity over
the preaching of mortals. Agreeing to write poetry about his first mage kill,
he departs the presence of the Drowned and hunts mages for quite some time, in
exasperation asking them to duel because of their prowess at being invisible -
and his very, very loud hoofbeats approaching them warning them to flee every
time! This was not accepted until Eyteliana, a new Herald pledge, quite
literally locked horns - due to her shapeshifting - with Mwauka under the
understanding he would seek knowledge of who EXACTLY created the minotaurs,
and HOW, and to place his findings within the Lyceum's library. While this
wasn't something he'd planned on, instead wanting to write poetry about
himself and his own experiences in life, Mwauka knew that he would probably
have pursued this research anyway at some point just to find which mages he
had to crush, and accepted, soon standing victorious over the body. He
returned to Tahren in triumph, and began to officially be considered an
Applicant, penning his poem - a triplet of haiku. The minotaur preferred
writing in haiku. The limited nature of the poems, forced to be constrained by
syllable, appealed to his dim grasp of fine arts. In restriction, he found
more freedom in his expression. He clutches the painstakingly written letter
in his hands, hoping to show it to his Goddess when next they meet, which
reads as follows:

Horns clash together
A mountain compared to hills
Equal, unnatural.

Eyteliana.
Shapeshifting scholar of lore
locked horns with honor.

Garden of Dagdan
Stained by a woman's pure blood
marks the covenant.
