Selena stared at Gawain for a long time, as if trying to see through this "Wanderer from Outer Realm" cloaked in human exterior, from an unknown domain.
But she couldn't see through anything.
Because she was merely a visual projection sent over when Gawain actively released parts of his superficial consciousness. She could only see what Gawain wanted her to see and hear only what he wanted her to hear, much like the predicament of the Eternal Sleepers cult at this moment:
No choice, subjected to others; even when discussing "conditions" now, it was merely a display of attitude.
The Wanderer from Outer Realm promised at this moment not to walk the path of gods, and promised that if one day he broke his word, the covenant would become void. But Selena herself knew that no one could witness this verbal promise, neither humans nor gods.
What she and her compatriots could trust was only the personal integrity of the Wanderer from Outer Realm themselves.
