High-Son, The Return
"We are called the Clergy, or the Order of Rending, and we have no borders. We go where we please, young one. Tomorrow, perhaps, I will move on."
"Clergy, rending, is a nation I do not know," said High-Son. "You must be far from home."
"I tend to think that anyplace I go is my home. But my people come from many different places. Words like the mountains of ghouls, the empty quarter, and the nameless city have no meaning to you. Those are some of the places in which we dwell."
"To answer your question, though, we were there to investigate the sacrificial offerings that took place at the temple. And a short time ago, I returned to check on that temple. I saw that the foreigners attacked it. Good riddance, I suppose."
"Oh," said the woman, smiling, "I have had several names. Zarqa. Most call me Blue, after the color of my eyes."
