The one time I've actually asked the Goddess to intercede for me was during the war ten years ago. I disobeyed orders to stay back and went out to the front lines to assist my unit.

They were all dead. Dismembered, most of them. Torn apart in various horrific ways. Those were the ones I was still able to identify as having been human at one point; several of them... There wasn't even enough for that.

I would have done anything to find survivors, or even some with enough left of them to save.

I see them often, in the reflective surfaces here.
