OC-Tober day 4: siblings

I didn’t think I had original siblings.... but then my paladin developed a brother last week. Presenting, left to right, Dorian Murnyethara, diabolical older brother and warlock, and Shaumar Murnyethara, righteous paladin and younger brother.

Shaumar honey I’m sorry about ur face, which eluded me today

Reborn

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I wasn't able to make the change on the first full moon after receiving the Beastlord's blessing from Allura. I haven't spoken to her or Vorcari about it. It was just too upsetting at first, and I didn't want them, or anyone else, to think I was weak or unworthy.

Were you testing me, Lord? My patience, my resilience, my devotion to you? I wish I understood it, but... I have hunted and prayed every waking moment since then and...

Malar has answered the pleas of his wild, wanton priestess! Last night, under the blessed full moon, Shaumar and Sammael watched over me as I was reborn into something stronger, faster, fiercer, whole. I will glorify my Lord with this blessing and pray that he will revel in my offerings.

I have only known him for a brief space of time, but... I have to come to believe that Shaumar was sent as a blessing to me from the Beastlord. Perhaps this is just my prideful nature. Perhaps it was nothing more than a lucky coincidence, a chance meeting. I cannot be sure, but... He treats me differently than any other I've met in Thay, with a naturally reverential regard, as a vessel of his and my Lord's will and power. In combination with the way he looks at me... like one might a juicy steak... well, it's certainly been a test of my self-restraint.
