Role

Chapter 9

After her meeting with Rarywey, Ellania immediately had another vision. Then
more and more over the coming weeks. You would think it would have been
overwhelming or horrible, but after her meeting with the Drowned Goddess,
things had changed. The visions... Yes some were cruel or of horrible
circumstance. However most were of people, none of which Ellania knew personally,
who were in great pain. And if Ellania could hold on long enough to see their
death, she would feel their IMMENSE relief.

Over time, Ellania was able to focus only on the ones who felt relief. And
that's when everything changed.

How is unknown, but it appears as if Ellania can see individual stars or
starlight even in the vastness of the void. Perhaps it is her Elven heritage.
Perhaps she was awake too long between her cycles. However it happened, Ellania
can glimpse starlight without the void. She can see it, now, if she chooses
to focus on it. She can see the poor souls who are desperate for an ease to
their suffering. And all she wants to do is be with them to help. But still,
if she looks ahead in the starlight, she can see their relief. Although it is
a bit blurry at times.

Perhaps this is only how Ellania sees a being's soul. As starlight. Still, she
can focus on them within the void. She isn't perfect nor does she have full
control yet, but she can watch a star illuminate, brighten, dim, and fade.

As Ellania grew with this ability, the ability began to change her. Slowly,
but the changes have begun to manifest now. Her eyes shimmer, constantly, with
light. Sometimes not bright, but still visible all the same. Ellania spends
more and more of her time, now, looking off into what most would call 'nothing'.
But I assure you, she sees something indeed. She has also changed in attitude,
and appearance otherwise. She used to be more strict about her clothing and
appearance. Having a nice tight braid with her band. Now her shining red hair
flies around untamed, but well manicured. She also has a wilder feel about her.
She still hasn't forgotten where she came from though, those who are observant
should pay close attention to her left wrist.

While looking into the void, Ellania did come across Her Lady's image in what
could, easily, have been a dream. But the Lady Rarywey stated simply that She
was called into the void, and could share very little time with Ellania.
Ellania understood when she awoke. The void, and the starlight within, take
up more and more of Ellania's time as well. She understands her Lady's wishes
and concerns. And Ellania wishes Rarywey well. May the stars prove more beautiful
than they look even from down here, Lady.

Ellania's goal's within Rarywey's religion are to try finding a way her visions
can help Rarywey. And also to seek out underground waterways and rivers, to
try better understanding or 'reading' her 'sight'.
