Fortis had never done anything truly sinful... Well, except murder. But those she murdered had deserved it, they had asked for it with their actions. Cowards, fools, they all died if she found them. Those who fit into the categories did well to avoid her. But the mare cared not for them nor they for her and, at that minute, her attention was settled on more important matters. The stallion for Nex. She had made a promise and she wished to live upto and and, simple, this was the quickest way.
"Ahh, Afriel, you preach against sin and yet search for vengeance. It is terrible that the creator should be so... sinful. I am sure that she is meant to be good and fight evil through words, not actions, but I am not your target. I should not be. I work to make your world strong. Can't you see that?" it was true, in Fortis' mind that was exactly what she was doing only she went about it in a somewhat twisted way.
"Many of my spies, as you call them, died in recent battles, Afriel, but you may remember one of them. Tyra Leonardis. She still lives, she is my main informant but, at the minute, she is working on a task. She is finding me my path for, you see, it is not love I feel for Ferinus. No, far from it these days. I respect him for his power and his ways. He may have gone against you Afriel, but his breed is certainly the most impressive though, word have it, you favour Aequus' brred, the Aer, when it comes to power?" she paused, shaking her head. "Anyway, I stray off track. I still hold power, Afriel, much more than anyone knows for my informants are of wide variety. But this, I need an answer quickly and have not time to scour the world." she paused, glancing away, blood pools filled with something unusual for her- worry. Fortis was worried she could not hold her side of the bargain.
"It is a matter I wish to resolve quickly, goddess. Please, I will not bother you further. I just... I made a promise and you know how I am, how I always have been."her tassel snapped as she looked away. "I ask but one favour. You know it goes agaist my usual nature Afriel and, one day, I will find way to repay you, if you were to give me this one favour."
