We don't place as much importance in names as some other cultures do.
[ so, yeah. it was a nameless village. ]
Most of the time, we can only pray, but I was able to go to the temple where our god dwells and meet it face-to-face. Such is part of the duties of a priestess.
That's interesting. I hadn't thought about names very much before, but I suppose I'm more used to cultures where they're important. As things given to you by your parents, they can help shape your identity.
[ oh that's so fancy... a dragon priestess... ]
That must have been a lot of responsibility. But also kind of exciting. [ a little bit hehe. ]
Hehe. That's not surprising. Anyone would be afraid to meet a dragon, or a deity, don't you think? So meeting one that is both would be twice as frightening.
That's true... [ a small, relieved smile, at being validated. ]
It was quite impossible to express it at the time. I think that if I had shown even the slightest doubt, my brother would have turned the boat around and taken me back home.

It's an isolated community of mustari like myself. There, we live under the protection of our guardian deity, the Dragon God Eht.

[ interesting. ] Were you able to meet with your deity? Or could you only pray to them?

Older or younger? What is she like?
no subject
She can be very strict sometimes. But she's really, really smart, and I know that she cares a lot about her family—more than anything.
no subject
She sounds like a wonderful sister.
Are you... still able to see her?
no subject
When I can. I've been busy, lately.
