The Goddess Rarywey's shrine is a mystical, magical, wonderful place. It has
an altar under the water. Gabooca feels the burden on her body being there, and
her wings wilt with the weight of the water for hours, even days afterwards. But
it is worth it. She got to meet a drowned tree that came to life! Even though
her first thought was, 'how great it us we are under water so I don't have to
smell him,' she imagined he would smell like mushrooms and she absolutely hates
that smell.

How great an experience it was for Gabooca to learn about the afterlife. The
river and the eddies that will wash away her sins and soul, make her anew before
returning to Thera. These eddies don't know or care about actions in the current
queue role + life. They will purify the dark just as the light. This purification is both
something to look forward to, and embrace, for death is not the end. Although
the memories will be gone, the soul is refreshed anew.

The cycle is everything. This is a realization Gabooca did not have until speaking
to the tree. She thought it was limited to certain things, but no, it applies to
every, single, thing. Such a wonderful piece of knowledge to have. The tree gave
her a task, find out what purified souls think they would do in the next life.
What from this life, they would carry forth.
