The Beast And The Blessed
I wasn't going to apologize for my irritation when she crashed into my life and refused to give me anything other than vague statements that didn't answer any of my questions.
"We share in the Goddess's gift." She stated as she pulled her eyes away from me, looking dejected. "But yours is unlike anything I have ever seen before. My mother and every woman before her had it. We are at our strongest in The Sanctum. The longer we are away from it, the weaker we get. We didn't know if the gift would die if we were away too long, so we were never gone for more than a few weeks. It is how we recharge. Eventually, we stayed there, hiding from the people who wanted us dead. We were invincible there.
