“There is no Hell. No Heaven either. This world is what we make of it.”

Such SAGE words for such a young mind. FAITH was as much a soldier’s sword & shieldas their material forms were. From North to South, West to East, he had heard& seen men pray to their GODS. More than once in his life he himself had whispered tothe Old Gods in the private solitude of his own mind, or before the heart treewithin the sacred weirwood on Bear Island. As a child, he had believed hisentire being, body & spirit, would return to the Forest after his death,kept alive in the whispers of the Children and all things living.
Now, he wasnot so certain. He had encountered too many beliefs on his journeys, heard toomany words of prayer that all held the same tones of pain & hope. Too oftenhad he seen the look of absolute fear in a dying man’s eyes, no PEACE to befound on their expression after. There was simply… nothing. Whether given tothe Night, the Drowned God, or the Stranger, Death was Death, and it was DONE.
❝ The mind is its own place, KHALEESI ; each manmay find themselves in a Hell or Heaven of their own making.
------ Yet faithis a powerful thing, uniting people as much as it separates them. It is a languageworth learning, and may prove key to the trust of many of your people. I wouldbe glad to tell you of the Gods, Old & New, that are worshipped in my---- ourcountry. ❞
