[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Selina Parcellus]

As Selina prays to the Moonmaiden, she keeps in mind the stress she has been experiencing lately. So much is riding on her, so many relying on her strength of will, trusting that she will pull them through, no matter what. She was uncertain she would be able to keep going without faltering at some point. She'd already received the goddess's blessing in a dream, but still she doubted herself. She sighs, looking at Tomeal. She knows that he trusts her more deeply than anyone else. He had changed his worldview, gained religion through her. If that was not a weight for her to bear, she didn't know what was. The man had devoted himself to Selune because of how he viewed her devotion.

She focuses her requests on anything that might protect as many of her friends as absolutely possible. She cannot afford to fail now. Not with a possible end to this maddening plane in view. When she has finished her prayers and feels the boon of renewed magical power, she turns to Tomeal and blesses him with the same spell she had the previous day, then does the same to herself. The two of them would need every protection possible to keep up as the apparent protectors of the group.
