Chapter 37

Do you tell her what just happened? She... Might freak out if you do....

Yes, but her reaction is not quite what you expected...

Dana wakens and looks at you with a strange expression. "What just happened?" She queries puzzled.

Whoa boy. You manage, resolving to tell her the truth, even if it means she freaks out, a secret like this would inevitably end up being revealed, and when that happens...


...And that's why I refused her offer. You finish about five minutes later.

For a moment Dana doesn't react, and then. "That was awfully sweet of you, but not very bright." She says stroking one of your fronds.

Oh, how so? You ask in a polite tone.

"Just watch." She says with a wink.

"Mighty Vienna, goddess of the wilds: I abjure you, hear my plea!" Dana calls out in a clear and surprisingly willful voice. "I offer you in kindness what you tried to take in deceit, but lay conditions upon what I offer you, for you have sought to betray one who is very dear to me and I would not have him so harmed for all the wide world!" She continues, her voice almost musical. "I will be your priestess, prophetess of your new cult, and spread your faith far and wide: but I will only do so with this my love by my side: freed instead of bound, uplifted instead of crushed, made great rather than laid low! Accept or refuse as you will oh Vienna, but know that I will never settle for anything less: he is my savior and beloved, and you harm him at pain of my unending enmity!" Dana calls into the gathering stillness, and for a moment, there is silence, then...

What does the goddess think of this new bargain?
