How dare she humiliate her in front of them? Childish? All she wanted to know is why she was being dragged along to convert a stupid bunch of tribesmen. It’s not like they are a trained army! In fact she would enjoy staying here and training more priests. She would not say anything, not in front of the high priest at least, less she wanted to be banished. She was lucky to be received this time and her luck would not be so great now.
"No, your greatness. I know my duty and I follow the eye's command without question. His will is my deed." The other priest had said. Dristi’s rage built inside, he was trying to suck up to them, making himself more loyal than her. But he wasn’t, not to the eye.
She sat in silence and waited till Sevora gave them their next command, but oh she would pay for what she just put Dristi through. Childish?
