If she ruled over these people, he was surprised that The Voice was not the chosen God of all those under her. "So...do you know many Ascended individuals that kill others willingly and eagerly, as you said? Is the Queen one of them?" As for destroying monuments...well, that was rather common practice during war in his home, but it seemed Jigano was not one ready to face the realities of such things, so he said nothing. He saw that the plants around them were further grown than they would be naturally and smiled. "What a wonderful thing this magic is." As for the portals...he tilted his head one way then the other. "I am not sure. On one hand, I would follow the laws of the Queen. But if they conflicted with the wishes of the Old Gods, whom I am trying to impress....." He sucked at his teeth, trying to work it out. "And I know Loren has already been through the portal. If he asked me to come with him for any reason, I would have to go. But unless that happens, I do not feel much need. I have begun to make a life for myself here." A B A S I The birds are mocking me They call to be heard The birds are mocking me They curse my return
