Chapter 378: Fealty of the Valley Tribes
The white fox goddess Lin-Lu sat on Caligo’s shoulder and spoke to him in hushed whispers. To most of the survivors, it seemed as if the black feather-cloaked man was muttering to himself thanks to the fox’s cloaking magic hiding her from others. But to Nokti she knew how special this moment was. A dragon goddess, a violet goddess, and an ebon god were all gathered in one place, amidst the ruins of the mortals’ campsite.
How long had it been since three gods had gathered in Dusk Valley?
Nokti didn’t know but she suspected it had been many, many years.
“What is Crow doing here with that dragon?” Marek muttered angrily. “I thought he left to hunt dragons, not ride them.”
Nokti glanced up at the dire human. She had found him collapsed on the ground. Like all the other mages, his breathing was ragged and his gait was unsteady. They were all still recovering from whatever the dragonbane had done.
Or was about to do, Nokti supposed.
If her god hadn’t arrived she shuddered to think what might have happened to them all.
Nokti was keenly aware that dragonbane consumed people’s souls. A quick death would have been the desired outcome instead.
Although, Lin-Lu had seemed unaffected by the dragonbane’s strange ability. Perhaps, the fox goddess would have whisked her away like she had last night when the dragon had attacked.
