» Hauntings & Healings

another mind, another soul, another body to grow old. it's not complicated. Kisamoa (or Kaos) had told them to explore and to learn... in a battle between a Rift God and the Rift itself, what was to be done, in light of Kisamoa's words? Whose side was the right one? Wasn't Kisamoa the amalgamation of the Rift Gods? Of this wolf? And if so, wasn't attacking him just like attacking Kisamoa? And yet ... Kis said to explore and learn of the Rift, which would seem to encompass the vengeful spirits floundering about. Although Otem places more blame on the Helovian Gods for their part in all of this and the death of her mother than she did the Riftian ones, she still had no real love in her heart for them. But Kisamoa had given her a gift - the acorns that grew in her mane - and being the selfish and manipulative creature that she was, she did not want to openly offend or plot against him. Still, she watched as her father tried to direct one of the spirits towards the wolf god. With narrowed eyes the daughter of the Mountain and the Indomitable watched this, knowing that she could not obviously defend Reszo in any capacity. Obvious being the keyword. Otem conjures two earth sprites which appear and hover at either side of her. With an eye on the chaos, she throws herself into the fray. She tries to position one of her sprites near Reszo, acting as more of a distraction for the phantasmic creatures attacking him rather than offering any sort of defence. In the interest of being subtle, it is the best she can do for the God. Then she focuses her attention loudly on Mbwana, offering her aid. Thus, should anyone recall what Otem was up to during the battle, they would remember the filly aiding the colt. "Come on! You're braver than that!"  The filly calls confidently, although they are basically the same age. The ram-horned girl offers a smile as she and her remaining sprite try to bully the ghostly things away from the colt.

Otem tries to help Reszo, but also tries to help Mbwana to make it seem like she isn't trying to help the god ;)
