IC CHAT 2: The Kaleidoscopic Sanctuary
The wolf's fur was thick and double-coated, but pleasant. The wolf trusted you because Myriad did, and relaxed into the attention, wuffing softly.
She considered your question.
"Without giving too much away, you're a goddess. However, you're also a place. All places of significance have some spirit to them. Annibale, Goddess of Wine, is the spirit of her estate, which includes extensive vineyards. You, petra, are the Goddess of Luck and Earth, and the spirit of Forterra given flesh. I'm sure that will make immediate sense to you, given your domains."
"I am the ocean, and many flow with my current. The rocks within the river each resist me in their own way, and worn by me in their own way, and perish in their own way. I do not consciously decide how this proceeds. I am just the river, and they are stone. Those are mortals.
"Virtu are those that can withstand the current - the fish. They still depend on me, but lead their own lives and have direction, a sense of purpose."
She reached out to you, gently touching your shoulder.
"And the greatest of the fish are those that learn to be amphibious. You are a Virtu de Luna because you were strong enough to assert your own reality, in defiance of my current. This is why you have your moon, or Realm, that is yours alone, and your own collection of rocks that bow to your current, and your own little fish that swim against it."
"That metaphor got convoluted, didn't it? But I hope that explained something."
