Exhaling softly, the Goddess stepped forward, now even closer. She rose one of her softly shimmering violet wings - the one closest to Sulwyn - to block the two from the prying eyes of the others. In hushed tones, the Goddess explained what it was, that Sulwyn would have to do: "I watch over the World's Edge, as you are well aware. Recently, you have expressed interest in becoming a wraith, have you not? If this is the purpose that you speak of, in which a companion would aid you, then let it be so. I shall grant you your companion, provided that you can prove your worth as a spy. You must successfully steal someone. Once you have done so, you must convince a spy from a herd other than the Edge, to accompany you to the Veins. Bring both your prisoner, and the other spy to me, and you shall have your companion."
Pausing, to ensure that Sulwyn understood her task, the Goddess nodded softly. She would speak no more with the others on this eve, lest they believe her to have gone soft. Her body began to crumble and burst apart into tiny points of starlight and silvery mist, leaving no trace of her slender form behind.
