Oketra - God's Presence 2

The fright in Nissa's chest immediately vanished. Her stomach calmed, and she felt as if a cool breath of wind walked in front of her. Oketra rounded the corner of the alleyway. She was taller than the walls on either side, and the lovely silence that followed her quieted Nissa's concerns. The god looked Nissa in the eye.

The god stilled. A voice breezed through Nissa's mind, You spoke with this land, Nissa Worldwaker? The voice was soft as wheat and sturdy as a desert blossom. Nissa trembled. She had never spoken with a god before.
