Sneak up on them quietly and see what Laran is saying.... then get Merope alone again... It would be in your best interest to stay on her side at the moment because she has the information you need for the other eight Makers. If you only get the three she's told you of, then one, the serpents would be against you, and two they can get twice your numbers even if you find the three she's told you of. |

Hmm. Interesting. I like the first sentence in this chapter, btw.
Well, it's not as if Deica can't escape at any other moment; after all, Merope hasn't really prohibited her from leaving. And it's unlikely she will escape detection from the wolves, so I think she should walk up to Merope and Laran. If you are her daughter, and she wishes you to help her, then you must have the right to know of her plans. If she mistrusts you, then that is a sign that you should mistrust her. |

Which three Maker birthplaces does Deica know? She has had experience, good and bad, with some of the races besides the centaurs, and that may affect her decision as to whether to leave this scene and seek them out. The Bullroar who gave her Alethra, for instance, was very good to her.
But as for an option, I think going off to look for one or more of the other Makers, now that she has a clue about where she might find them, would be very attractive to her - getting away from the misbegotten wolves, and finding other beings like herself, her "sisters" and "brothers". |

The three Maker birthplaces that Merope told her are in the Goatfoot Forest, the Virgin Wood, and the land of Zigoz. Deica had pretty negative experiences with both a Goatfoot (a satyr) and a Virgin (a unicorn) in the city of Kerigos, where they were both priests of a temple that wanted to sacrifice her. She's had no experience with Zigots.
Thanks, Mom ;) |

Told you I was ancient! You may address me as "Your Majesty", and genuflection on one knee is sufficient.
Sorry, :off: |

Certainly Deica would not want to go to the Twins' country - her experience with them was terrible!
But the Virgin she encountered was a much more ambiguous figure. He was, as I remember it, awe-inspiring, with mysterious powers, and as he examined Deica, suddenly rushed away (in what? fear? amazement? horror?), leaving Deica to walk away unharmed. She might be curious to find her counterpart who had grown up with these beings, with their strange wisdom. Also their form is similar to that of the centaurs she grew up with.
The serpents talk a good game, but their army and its general don't inspire confidence in their benevolence, and Deica might want to get another viewpoint. |
