This is Yael’s first trip to the home of Helovia’s Gods. She’s not quite sure if she can call them her Gods yet, as she gave up her original G-d many years ago, and after that, there were spirits, not Gods per se, who had the power. Those spirits were mostly benevolent, wanting only peace and harmony in the land - and she’d never met her original ‘G-d’ (personally, she’s beginning to doubt it ever existed), so the idea of entities with capricious, snarky, or otherwise ‘negative’ traits is foreign to her.
Oh, Yael is in for a rude awakening.
The mostly silent third wheel while they travel, Yael’s mind is churning, trying to piece together the snippets she’s heard from the Edge and the bits she’s gathered from asking questions. She knows vaguely about the Rift and kiiiiind of what happened, but not really. Apparently he’s a foe they’ve met before, which is encouraging. But what he spoke of - being tethered to a system of tyranny and unable to see the chains. He seemed to want to… break? their chains for them? That is, break the hold of the Gods on their chosen herds. Already, he was successful with the Earth God. The Moon Goddess had said it was because the Falls had appeared weak and easy to take, and now the Earth’s worshipers were scattered to other herds.
The question is, does that weaken the Earth God, if he has no worshippers? Does it strengthen the others? Where do they derive their power from? Oh, the questions are numerous, but the little golden mare tries to remember exactly what was said by Kaos on that ugly, ugly day. Magic from another world. Oh. Oh! Yael knows very much what magic from another world is like, and she’d had bucketfulls of it. Magic and stolen lands.
Fuck. It isn’t until Rikyn finishes speaking that Yael pipes up, speaking to both him and Tiamat and… the air, apparently. ” T’ere are rumors,” she begins, “legends of great sea beasts vit long necks and many teeth, also of ze xeeppocampi, ze merxorses that sveem een ze deep… but to my knowledge, neizer of t’ose breat’es air. Xo’ever,” and here she pauses, looking back and forth between the blue mare and the gold-tipped stallion. “Kaos talked much about stolen lands and deeferent mageec. Vhat eef xe tries to take ze outer edges back? Ze T’roat might be ze most vulnerable.”
She swallows, remembering a time that does not seem so long ago. “I t’ink.. Ze only vay to vin against somet’ing like t’at vould be to make eet come to us and fight on our turf… I vonder eef ze altar xas anyt’ing to do vit eet…”
And then she falls silent again - because after all, there seems to be a dual purpose for this event, and she would never want to monopolize it.
