There is a seat at the head of the table for Life, and to her right and left the Sun and Moon. A seat is reserved for Death, though she never attends.
The Old Gods, the universal gods who were first created in worship.
No spot sits open for the god of prey, of slain things.
No songs are written for the god of the meek, of the hunted.
But is he not one of the oldest gods? Perhaps even before Death herself, there had to be something killed.
The god of panting breaths, of deep burrows and high nests. The tender of rabbits and keeper of mice.
Because in the end, murmurs of begging mercies came before sacrifices of bounties planned.
Because prayer, is for the weak.
