The smile that hushed over Maries face was strangly serene, as the distress in the water died as quickly as it had appeared. For a moment it seemed like she was thinking about a response, but then, very silently, she began to speak. "Gifted? No! My father told me that i hold no power, but the pitiful attempts my biological parents have done on me, to cure what they considered to be a blight! No, these "gifts" as you call it, and seem to have witnessed yourself, my dear Mister North, are just incarnations of a power that every human beholds and far more will behold, once we have cured the once true plague of this world...the sickness of the lacking of faith in the powers that are!" 
The smile slowly vanished from her face, North explained the dangers of such a journey, yet Marie soon would smile again. "Your concern about the safety of our Missionaries is appropriated, yet not necessary. Ug-Qualtoth revels in the perils of us mortals, and it is this struggle that makes us strong, or makes us perish!" 

Her eyes focused on the ruby-like finger, and for a moment she could feel the taint of agony that stuck to it, coating it like honey. "The last moments where filled with pain, regret...and then Tranquility! What a fascinating trinket, i think i would want to get my hold on one myself!" The grim warriors of Dosh-Novan Warband glared at North, yet Marie could feel their morbid interest in these creatures. "I am sure that the Warleader would be quite interested in hunting such a creature as these Wendigos! I believe they would make for a marvelous trophy! If the Federation would happen to be able to capture some of these creatures, we would be paying handsomely for their delivery into the holy city!" The Fighting Pits in the city where feasting on the weak, while empowering the strong, be it human or beast, yet below, in the depth´s of what used to be the Metro of Pittsburgh, the molders of Flesh, scientist converted by faith or blade, worked on beasts worthy of Ug-Qualtoth´s army. Such fascinating creatures would make for some great additions! 

Finishing her Meal, Marie slowly got off the table, as she let out a soft sight. "It was indeed a great pleasure to make your acquaintance, Honored Envoy, yet i fear that the journey to this place left me quite tired. I am in good spirit that we will have an additional opportunity for such pleasantries as this conversation, tomorrow!"
