The Call of the Wolf

[maychorian]

It's time for more D&D! This is the first chapter of Tikaani's back story, my new character in Josh Hornbarger's campaign. More stories will come--since we started at level four this time, my paladin has had some time to do some stuff. But this is the beginning

As one of the Christians on your friendlist, though perhaps not one of the ones you were worried about perturbing, I felt I should mention I was not perturbed.

I think your writing is beautiful. I can see why you thought of the burning bush, or perhaps a bit of that thought coming through: I think you did well at conveying the awe and the sense that when faced with a being of such power and honor, one you belong to, there is nothing to do but... what she did.

Being fond of canines, I also liked the details on Amarok, like the moist nose and the grin.

What a generous compliment! Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked the details--I love details and I think they're always important.

Obviously, it didn't perturb me either. I'm mostly thinking of friends from my church, which is very conservative. I can accept a pagan point of view in fairy tales and folk stories, enjoying them for what they are while still believing that I know the true God. I think myths are very cool for their sense of awe and wonder. I'm glad that that came across in my story.
