The cacophony outside was penetrating the calm in the room. Taryn rose, placed her chalice back on the table and crossed to the door. Glancing out, she could see nothing that indicated warfare, so she came back to  take her place on the cushions<br/><br/>"Warriors are reserved, let me amend that. good warriors are reserved. Those who serve the Goddess are not celibate but they only couple with the other women who serve.This keeps their practices pure. Does your priestess keep her acolytes within the priesthood? Are you free to choose? and what do you mean, desire? I know your body desired the Katze. Is the desire you speak of have to do with something else? I'm confused on your customs." Taryn said, standing again, drawn by the sound of running footsteps growing louder.<br/><br/>She stood on the side of the doorway by the time a messenger burst through the door.<br/><br/>"Raschen, messengers from the Hyane and the Kyote  have arrived. The Hume have brought fire to their camps as well as ours." he blurted, staring askance at the red head who was crouched by the door.
