And then Alanna started sneezing uncontrollably.
There was a flash of blinding white light, and the most beautiful woman appeared. All the people gasped at her beauty, which surely outshined Thayet's. I'm more gorgeous then she is, the Queen thought, why don't they gasp when they see me? Anyway, there stood the Great Mother Goddess.
Alanna groaned. "Is there something wrong, my daughter?" the goddess inquired, in a voice that was terrible, yet lovely at the same time.
I wish she would stop bothering me, Alanna thought. But out loud she said, "I'm just tired is all. And now my eyes hurt, from that flashing thing. May I ask why you grace us with your presence, O Goddess?" Any nitwits who hadn't already figured out who this mysterious woman was stood and bowed. Alanna was in mid-bow when she started to have a sneezing fit again. She lost her balance and toppled over. Daine started giggling, but then stopped abruptly when she saw the cause of Alanna's sneeze. Now it was Daine's turn to groan.
"Hello, dearie. Did you miss me?" cackled the Graveyard Hag. Compared to the Great Mother, she was the ugliest, oldest woman alive. "Don't look so disappointed. I still like you for your services to me."
Daine sighed unhappily, "I'm not so sure that I still like you," she muttered. " Why can't you just leave me alone?!" she cried. "I don't want to be your vessel!"
"Hehehe. I see you still haven't lost your spunk. That's good. And your angry. Perfect," the Hag was grinning evilly.
Daine looked scared. "I'm not angry. I wouldn't be a very good vessel, because I'm not at all angry with anyone. Right, Numair?" she looked at him pleadingly with those big eyes of hers.
Numair grinned, "I wouldn't know. I'm not reading your mind right now," his tone changed from playful to grave. He rose and bowed to the divine beings. "If I may inquire as to why you are here? Generally the gods only visit mortals when something big is going to happen. I have a feeling that it is associated with current events in Tusaine."
The Hag stopped smiling. The Great Mother Goddess said , "It does."
