"ah well modeities are supposed to be kind to those under their protec-" Persephone trailed off as she realized this wasnt exactly the case. Kemet was supposed to be ruled by three modeities: Amun, Osiris and Seth. Amun and osiris where very protective of the land if a little harsh at times believing the foxes should also care for themselves. Seth outright hated all the life there and was jealous of osiris and amun refusing to speak to any of them other than threats and the occasional yearly sand storm that differed on when it showed up.
"and yes codgy old farts, it was the nicest thing I could bring what I wanted to call them down to" Persephone stated a growl sitting in her throat. They seriously pissed her off right to the core. Ugh it was probably good that she would never see them face to face. Persephone was mostly phim like but she had a temper that rivaled a daeva when it got active.

Giving Persephone a guarded grin Rit tried to think of a way to explain the temple system of Tazara and the modeities that supposedly resided there. “My home is divided. Each of the Great houses are located in specific areas of inner circles. The houses are tied to certain temples so the choice of which modeity to worship has never been a choice. The temple that the eighth house is attached to is that of a modeity of obedience and discipline. My actions, even as a kit, where nontraditional of many nobles. Because of this even if the modeity is to protect and defend they might not. It is my own fault I suppose. Still given the option to do it all over again I would do it the same. ”
Rit blinked at the other purple phims growl. It was endearing since Persephone did not seem like the type to get mad often. Swishing her tail slowly through the air Rit gently poked Persephone with it. “You know you are not the type to be scary, especially not with that cute growl. I doubt those codgy old farts will even blink twice.”

"sort of why I trailed off. We have a situation here in kemet sort of only its a bit different than just not talking to us. The other two allow him mostly because Osiris can not strike down his own brother and Amun needs a balance to himself to provide order but he got out of hand last time and destroyed the previous kemet now the two keep a tighter reign on him but it is a case of a modeity straying from what they where intended to do." Persephone pointed out nodding and saying some of her thoughts from earlier out loud.
"as for the scary part why thank you but appearances are often deceiving I have quite a temper. There is a myth behind my name that I kind of live up too. However most of the time my philanthropy over weighs it" she smiled knowingly.

“So your three modeities balance one another and allow for each other existence despite their opposing natures. Makes sense. To much of one thing can spoil something a degrade it destroying all who are in the area being unprepared for change. Versatility is important to grow and flourish.” Rit rubbed a paw along the back of her neck. The world of the modeities did make some sense though parts of it were complicated. A part of her wondered how many modeites of a tribe would not be as wise is reminding it’s members that evil or good did exist and could come at any time. Those that didn’t take precautions could find themselves overwhelmed at a time.
“If I might know what is the tale behind your name?” Looking Persephone over Rit really doubted that the other Phim could be scary. Alluring. Captivating. But never scary.

"precisely. when a heart is being weighed in the afterlife although this is probably different in your part of the world, a heart needs to be in balance if it wants to cross into the afterlife... if the scale tips in too much in either direction the soul is lost" Persephone pointed out shortening the weighing of the heart explanation.
"well basically there was a land that had different modeities and the ruler of the underworld wanted a wife so he asked his brother to provide him for one. The brother finally relented and picked one out but knew that her mother would never approve so the modeity stole the female daughter and took her down to the underworld and tricked her into eating this seeds so that she would have to remain down there for four months of the year. Originally this girl was sweet and cute and innocent and still was but during those four months she changed to befit a queen of the underworld obviously its a shortened version of the story but..." Persephone trailed off.

Rit listened to the conversation without interjecting. She had never paid to close attention to the teachings of the priests in the temples though she imagined they thought something similar. After she had first brought Lilia into her home as a servant she had been scolded on how Lilia was houseless for and how bringing her in had broken many traditional rules and how the modeities would turn from her should she continue down the path of disobedience. Still it had felt wrong to simply leave the other Phim kit to rot alone in the houseless district. Then Rit met Emi and had the same desire to help and protect. For a time Rit wished that she had been born to the 3rd House. That House was associated with the temple of protection.
“I understand. That is quite a tale to name a kit after. My own name’s history is not quite so exciting. The first head of the eighth house was a vixen who had my name. I was named for her.”

"My parents where being silly. My eldest brother was named after a human who traveled through the underworld although he also could be named after a demon according to some parts of the world. Then my brother was named after a religious figure so his name comes from heaven and then I'm the inbetween I guess" she laughed. "ah well a name doesnt have some exciting tale behind it. After all that can always change depending on what a fox does in their life." Persephone speculated.

“So your family has all the levels of heaven and hell covered don’t they?” Rit grinned at Persephone pushing a strand of star like hair from her face. Persephone had an interesting family from the sounds of things. Rit thought of her own family for a moment. “My family is not quite as interesting or friendly sounding as your own. My father is.. driven. To the point where he fails to see things around him, even his own family. My mother died when I was young. Though my half brother is and has always been a good friend to me.” Rit smiled thinking of her brother Alamar.

"oh we arent all friendly." She admitted weakly. "We have some family problems just like your own. My two fathers aren't really mated and have probably only seen each other twice. My "mother" of the pair took my older brother and sort of disappeared. Only seen Dante once when he accidentally hit on me because he thought I was someone else." Persephone laughed.
"My dad is off exploring the world or some thing like that I see him about once a year and my brother well we fight like cats and dogs... but I did have a friend who was really close to me. He sort of stepped into that big brother role even saved me from an evil river. I see him all the time of course. Pretty much every day" she chuckled "and my family will come to my rescue in times of need so they arent all that bad" Persephone made a weird face as she forgot about prelude... but he was off living his own life currently.

Persephone’s weak voice made Ritilanishia look at the other phim with concern. She listened to the purple vixen’s tale of her family and wondered what the other members of the family were really like. “Every family is different and has their own internal issues. Its good that your family would come to your rescue if you needed it.” My father would tell me to handle it on my own since I am supposed to be a responsible Head of House. Still I don’t want to burden her with my own family damage.
When Persephone’s face took on a weird look Rit felt her heart seize up. “Is everything alright.” She stepped close to the other phim and held a wing over her out of sheer instinct even though they weren’t being assaulted or hurt by anything in the physical realm.

Persephone listened to Ritilanishia and nodded. "well at least I believe they would come to my rescue. Never really been in a situation I couldn't get out of by my self" Persephone pointed out looking out into the lake but she did agree every family came with its own set of problems especially ones that where a result of tainted water. She watched in amusement as a piper landed on the head of a crocodile.
As the wing draped over her Persephone leaned a bit closer towards the source of heat instinctively. "nothing just thinking about how I'm getting up there in age... not that I'm that old really... uh" Persephone looked down at the ground since her normal looking to the side was obscured and started laughing a bit.

“You are intelligent and resourceful it is no surprise that you have not required saving so far in your life.” That and you are beautiful. I am certain that is not a flaw for you. The only question is.. is it your beauty that captivates until your intelligence shines through; or is it you intellect that extenuates your subtle charm? Ritilanishia smiled warmly at the vixen beside her.
Feeling the other purple phim lean into her Rit left her wing where it was rather than pull back. She looked at Persephone as the lightning phim looked down and started to laugh after calling herself old. “You certainly do not seem old to me. Besides age is nothing more than more accumulated experience and wisdom. That is something that is in far too short a supply in many reckless young foxes.” Rit gently nuzzeled Persephone. Persephone really didn’t seem old to her. “what makes you think you are old?”

Persephone felt really happy at the complement even though she didnt believe she entirely deserved it. If it was such the case would so many of her potential mates have decided she wasnt good enough? "well that and I have excellent friends that tell me when I'm being stupid." She smiled and looked back up again. Ah the crocodile had slipped back under water and the poor bird had been uprooted.
"well you never really feel too old most of the time" Persephone stated still looking out at the lake. "its more the few moments when you realized everything you've seen and that your children have all grown up with mates of their own and could even be grandparents themselves." She stated chuckling a bit.

Rit looked over following Persephone’s gaze in time to see a small bird flap up as ripples spread over the surface of the water. “Good friends do that. I know Lilia and Emi have scolded me a few times when I was about to do something incredibly stupid.” Smiling Rit thought about how often Lilia and Emi had saved her from snapping at foolish council members or from time to time her own father.
Cocking an ear Rit listened to Persephone with interest. “You have children? ” She didn’t remember the other phim mentioning having kits, but then again she had never really asked. She wondered what Persephone’s mate must be like. If she had kits she had a mate right? “What is your mate like, if that’s not too intrusive of course. ” Honestly a part of Ritilanishia was afraid to find out. Hearing about the amazing Phim’s mate was not even close to what she wanted to know since Rit would be trapped in a loveless relationship if she didn’t find her own reason to stay in the outerworld.

Persephone couldn't hold it in any more and burst out laughing. At times it was genuine laughter others a sort of bitter tired laugh. "oh Ritilanishia, I'm afraid I dont have a mate. I've never ever had the privilege of calling another fox that. You see its not as though I've had a wild youth with flings all over the place either." She stated having calmed down.
" I guess a little while back there was this normal fox and she had some how come across these two bcrs well the only problem was she had just joined a tribe and really had no room for raising children. So after find two people on the beach she handed the bcrs over. Which was probably a good thing since the bcrs turned into a daeva and a phim. well anyways I took the phim and raised him. So prelude is my son but he's well adopted for lack of a better word." she explained.
