I've mastered Notburga's techniques for crop blessings as part of my studies.

I still haven't gotten any other information on what I'll be asked to do.

How much command do you actually have over the unyielding Meadowlark?

If you only know a few techniques, it changes what Isidor will promise

I can connect completely with the unyielding Meadowlark.

Auroklos said you could become quite powerful.
|

You think you're clever, don't you?, Isidor said to her.
|

Auroklos said you had a lot of potential.
|

But using the Meadowlark is just one kind of power.
|

My kind of power is that you are here, working for me.
|
||||
Which kind do you think is better?

Shelve your arrogance and learn your place.

The journey continued in an awkward, tense near-silence, broken only by the occasional squeals and grumbles from the engine of the coach and the crunch of dirt and rock under wheels.

By the time they'd left the Haven, the Ennearch had fallen asleep in his seat, leaving Sarla to stew.

Brody was standing slack-jawed, and Fidgetboy turned to give Sarla a wide-eyed stare of unalloyed admiration.

Sarla felt exhausted.

Her eyes started to blur looking out at the horizon ahead.

―May the Lord preserve us, Peter said.

I knew we had always dutifully supported the Hierarchy, but...

He trailed off and turned to Isidor, before kneeling.
