"Some of the Gods are angry. Tortall has now got two Lady Knights.
Have you not wondered why there were no more of them? The last time
the Gods were unhappy with them, they overthrew the monarchs and made
sure that all knew of the cause of their downfall. Alanna they could
take, because she was undercover. But now that Keladry has earned her
shield, they will not tolerate this. We know naught of the plans, but
you must be on your guard. I do not want the downfall of Tortall," the
Great Mother Goddess said softly. " Your kingdom is in danger. You
must protect it."
There was silence. At last Alanna spoke. "Well, are we just gonna sit
around, or are we gonna start to fightback!" she slammed her fist down
on the enormous table for emphasis. Then everybody started talking at
once. Neal asked Kel, "So, d'you think we could win? I mean, in the
past very few mortals have actually defeated the Gods, Daine defeated
the Chaos queen, but I don't know if that is going to change the Gods'
minds when they're set."
"Neal, I don't know what we can do. The enmity of the Great Gods is
not a good thing. I'm fair sure that they will attack in some ways
that we cannot fight, and then we may fall."
Then Daine stood. "How many gods are going to war with us? The ones
who like us might be able to come to our aid," she shouted, hope
shining in her eyes.
The Grveyard Hag looked at her seriously(that's a change). "Mithros
isn't happy. The Trickster God is definitely for you, since one of the
Lady Knights got to her place through trickery, and the Theif God,
since Alanna's husband was once the King of the Thieves. Bazhir gods
like you, since the king is Bazhir by blood, and also the Voice of the
Tribes. Also the K'miri gods, since Thayet is K'mir. A few others are
your supporters, but Mithros does not want this to continue, so you
are in hot water." She grinned toothily, "You've always got the
Goddess here, but I am not much help since I'm not Tortall's patron. I
am basically powerless."
Jonathan looked very worried by now. When he finally spoke, everyone
had to lean closer to him. "It looks like Tortall will soon know the
wrath of the Gods."
