Evabelle: So, back in those days, the gods would give their church members a tiny piece of their divine veins. Their human followers would go around and heal people, bless people, help seaghosts move on, whatever. But the Raven... the Raven was different. She didn't need to borrow any power. She had her own. She had divine veins. Purple ones!

A vision of the Canary and the Raven on either side of a patient's bed. The Canary's hands glow with Cheline's cyan light, healing small injuries on his face. The Raven's hair and sash billow as she emits purple veins from her hands, healing the man's seabitten shoulder.

Evabelle: The Raven's powers were kind of a blend of Cheth and Cheline's. She could heal anything, even Seabite. She could speak with the dead and help them pass on.

Evabelle: She was also super duper strong!

A vision of the Raven flexing her muscles with a silly expression.

Evabelle: Cheth and Cheline didn't know where she had come from. Gods know each other by the color of their veins, but hers were a color they had never seen before. And gods don't have kids like humans do, so she was a big mystery.

A vision of Cheth and Cheline looking down at a concerned Raven, who stands straight with her hands behind her back. Cheline looks scornful. Cheth looks wide-eyed but more neutral. A bunch of young followers of both the Plume and Bone churches look from behind, including the Canary, who leans forward, worried.

Evabelle: Cheline didn't like the Raven. She thought she was dangerous. Cheth wasn't sure. But he didn't think she was a threat.
