[b][color=#9370DB]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center]	[color=00ccff]"This is all conjecture but... Given that our markings designate us as protecting the Bastet and the averse reaction of the cat earlier, her sacred animal, to those with Set... I believe we are meant to be rivals,"[/color] Nora told Mahendra softly. She did not care much for the idea but it explained the pattern that had been observed. Some of those that had been branded were selected by one cosmic side - and the others a different side altogether. Whether one of these sides was inherently good or evil, she could not say. 

	[color=#9370DB]"Theories of my own?"[/color] Gene smirked slightly, thinking for a moment. This was ultimately their quest and she wasn't too certain as to whether or not to divulge extra information. However, she decided to allow events to proceed as they would have without her - giving them her exact ideas may prove counterproductive, after all. Some things were meant to be a certain way and she did not wish to disrupt the cosmic flow. [color=#9370DB]"Well, now if I had found myself branded and these strange things happening around me, I wouldn't fight them. Accept them. And if you are confused, and one area of search provides no answers.... Try another. Keep an open mind,"[/color] she told him. She reached into her pockets and thumbed the pack of tarot cards that she kept on her. She then gave a little wink towards Belladonna, happy to see that there was another one here who shared her particular viewpoint. 

	Nora had been about to ask Gene her particular method for finding answers, when the Lord Major exclaimed that they were at Athribis - or at least, that it was coming into view. She did not pay too much attention to the talk of Constitution and Codes amongst the military men, figuring that her brain power would be better dedicated to understanding their peculiar situation. Perhaps Gene had been right. If traditional mathematics and science could not yield an explanation... perhaps they simply were not searching for answers properly. She disliked the idea of turning to myth and magic, things traditionally thought of as impossible but... The impossible had already occurred.  

	[color=#9370DB]"Perhaps they are trying to,"[/color] Gene pointed out to Mahendra, as he lamented that the animals could not pass along wisdom. [color=#9370DB]"Animals are far more intelligent creatures than most realize. Pay attention and you may find something you overlooked."[/color]	She had known a few animals in her time that she took to be more intelligence than most of the people on this train at the moment. It was frustrating to see these people so concentrated on an answer having to be obtained a certain way, fixing what the end result must be in their mind. The future was never so fixed and reality was ever changing in her experience. It was one of the reasons why she loved tarot readings and kept a deck of tarot cards on her at all times. They gave a reflection, a glimpse of what might be - but not necessarily what [i]had[/i] to be.
