[RPG] [SEI][Taselak] Tales of Lek & Sennianus: Prayer and Doughnuts

[Kel]

Roleplay from Lek

Lek had never been one for beseeching the gods, and unlike her twin, she 
didn’t feel the need to go around making a big fuss about them.  Today, 
however, she needed the gods’ favour.  There were no temples of her 
faith here, so she would have to make do with what she could.  She went 
into the village and sought out the baker.  The man was surly, and did 
not have what she wanted, but agreed, rather reluctantly, that he could 
do as she required.  Lek paid over what seemed an exorbitant sum for fat 
and flour and arranged to return in an hour.

Lek spent the time wandering through the market and down to the 
lakefront.  The villagers she passed eyed her with some hostility, but 
as they kept it to themselves, she ignored it.  Soon they would look at 
Taselak with love and pride.  She ate some extremely tasty smoked fish 
before heading back to the bakery.

Her purchase made, Lek headed into the woods, walking for some time 
until she found just the sort of secluded clearing that she was looking 
for.  She knelt in the glade and unwrapped her parcel.  Lek ate a 
doughnut, enjoying the familiar flavour, and washed it down with some 
ale that she had brought in a flask.  She crumbled the remaining 
doughnuts on the ground and sprinkled the rest of the ale over the crumbs.

And then she prayed.

She prayed for guidance; she prayed for comfort; she prayed for redemption.

She prayed for Sennianus.

She prayed to all the gods of her pantheon and then she prayed to the 
Viking gods for good measure.

When Lek finally rose to leave, her legs ached, but her mind felt clear. 
  She didn’t know if the gods had spoken to her, but for the first time 
in days, Lek could see a path before her.  She was a warrior, and she 
was not going to let him go without a fight.
