Kieran walked into the Temple of Magic. For weeks, he had suffered under a wander lust that he couldn't sate in his own forest territory. He had started walking, and even running when in wolf form. He had noticed that when he faced a certain direction, the desire to keep moving both lessened and intensified. The feeling lessened, in that he felt that it was the proper direction, intensified because he wanted to run and keep running. The feeling disappeared all together at the foot of the temple. Now that he was here, it was obvious what he had to do. He never would have felt that magic moved in him, or that he would dedicate himself to a deity, but here he was.

It made sense. He was a werewolf, a creature of magic. He was also a user of magic spells, specifically ice and water magic. Through his katars, he was starting to discover the old magic of a werewolf long passed. The Fangs of Fenrir had once belonged to an Alpha wolf, and they held a frightening potential. He belonged in this temple, following this goddess.

On the heels of that thought, he moved towards the alter, knelt, and began to ask for guidence.

She always knew when someone was thinking of her.

That was the nice thing about being a goddess, Selena supposed. Loyalty was no longer something you could demand, and still not receive. Her divinity allowed her the clarity of thought to know whether or not she was being fooled. The sense of being .. everywhere, in everything, as magic is; it took some adjustments, but she wore her power now like a second skin.

Her cerulean eyes opened, and with a blink, she waved her hand at one of the dedicates who was trying to fuss over her. "We will be having a visitor. Please make sure everything is ready." Selena stated simply, and the woman hesitated and then nodded. It was uncanny, the way she knew things; but the moment a foot touched land that had been blessed and set aside as Selena's temple, Selena knew. Somethings, however, remained oh-so blurry.

Standing, she surveyed herself in the mirror, and then looked away. The mirror cracked ominously. She'd been putting off matters for far too long - the world was in shambles, and the people needed the guidance from the pantheon; the guidance she had been far too foolish to provide. It was a wonder they believed in the gods at all, when they had every right to feel abandoned by all but one; the goddess of War.

There was someone kneeling before her altar, it was time to go. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath inward. She could see all of the halls and rooms in her temple, like they were a part of her. A priest snored in the inner sanctum, exhausted after divining for so long. Somewhere, two maidens gossiped and giggled. Two men in the library were in a deep discussion of life and death, a scroll forgotten between them.

Selena was not interested. Instead, she was focused on the figure who knelt before her altar. That was where she wanted to go. "Take me there." As if there was any need to ask. Magic did her bidding as easily as breathing. With another deep breath, she disappeared into flakes of white moonbeams, reappearing behind the stranger.

"My son. What brings you here tonight? One such as yourself seems more suited to the outdoors than to any marble palace," she spoke quietly, so that she didn't alarm him into attacking her. "Have you a whim? A question for a goddess?"

He stood and bowed to the goddess. "My Lady, where should a being of magic go for guidance on his life than the Temple of his essence? I am a werewolf, a creature of both the natural world and the world shaped by man. I feel that my very existance is explained only by magic. I ask, in recognition of my being, to serve you, so that I may better fulfil myself and appreciate fully my nature."

He rose from the bow and awaited her reply. It was interesting, he thought, that she was so soothing to him.

Oh, well if that was what he wanted, he was in the right place. She specialized in guidance, though she'd never truly met a werewolf before. And she could do with more followers, people who could spread word of her deeds and beliefs around the kingdom (though that was in no means required). Scrutinizing him for a moment, she walked around the man and settled herself on her throne, resting her head on one hand. He seemed like the honest sort.

"You are, indeed, here for good reasons and I cannot argue with your logic. Your very existence can be explained in many ways, some of them I am not able to truly explain in words. Who you are and what you are was shaped by the actions of others, and it is known that your kind are very magical beings," she replied, carefully. In her mind, she was turning over the possibilities. She couldn't just accept him, without being sure of his devotion. She didn't demand complete obedience, but it would be nice to nkow that he wasn't here on a whim.

"How did you find yourself here? Did you travel alone, or did someone show you the way?" She asked finally, trying to decide what she wanted to do next. "What drove you to seek my guidance and seek to be my follower?" It was a simple question and if answered honestly enough, she would have no qualms with him.

The temple was cool, airy and silent as she awaited his reply. She would give him time to think on it, because a question from a goddess was something you never wanted to answer quickly. At the end of the day, she was still divine and damn near omnipotent. Telling a lie would be foolish, and telling a half-truth wasn't much better of an option.

He thought, hard. How to explain an instinct? Well, it was more than a survival urge, as most such thoughts were, but it was subconcious as well.

"Goddess, no being showed me the way. Perhaps my wolf mind drove me here, but for weeks, I had an urge to travel in this direction. I followed those thoughts, so very like a migratory instict, to this temple. Stepping inside, I was soothed. I felt as if a piece of me settled into place, saying 'this is right.' As far as seeking your guidance...you are much wiser than I would ever hope to be. I seek in my life to master myself, and understand who and what I am. I would be a fool not to ask for help in that quest when ones such as yourself can help. And like my wolf bretheren, I follow the power greater than myself. I am an alpha werewolf, but even my wolf self feels submissive to you. A wolf pack works under a contract of a sort....the submissive wolves obey and love their dominants, who are the strong paws of the alpha. The dominants and the alpha are then expected to lead, love and protect their pack. Is not the relationship of a devotee and deity the same?"

He ducked his head and continued.

"I know that you are not an alpha wolf, but I would be honored to follow you as if you were."
