Since the War Council, the Scathachians had been scattered throughout the city. This was necessary for their goal, a means to an end. Still, it was something of a foreign concept to Isuelt and most probably the other Sisters as well. Scathachians trained together, tested each other and lived as one. It was only natural that when they went into battle, it was together, as a unit; they were strengthened by sight of their Sisters on the battlefield. The older Daughters of Scathach had seen battle and were used to this, but even the younger Sisters must have felt an odd pulling while they were on patrol so far from the hub of their Scathachian counterparts at such a time.
Isuelt had called together all of her Sisters, it was time for a show of solidarity and a time to gather their wits, privately. Even though their comings, goings, and what have you had them at every area of the city at once, this night Isuelt arranged for all of the Daughters of the War Goddess to be in the Sanctuary together.
A family meeting of a sort, to come together to reflect, plan and give thanks to their Patroness for getting them this far, and to plead for the strength that they would all certainly need in the end.
Isuelt had arrived not long ago at the Sanctuary and had changed into her Scathachian robes, an odd sight for most in RhyDin. Draped in crimson robes over a pure white sheath, Illea stood near the mantle in the largest room in the living quarters of the Sanctuary: the congregation chamber. Its high white walls supported by the signature columned style of the Island of Shadow were designed to invoke the comfort of their home. The tile of the floor checkered in the two woods of their region, distinctive markings were only broken up by the lush carpet that would warm even the coldest bare feet. The restful room was lined with crimson and gold lounges that boasted healthy cushions, and the corners were alive with tall palms and climbing greens. The hearth was lined with a mixture of rocks and sea shells and blazed with the light of a roaring fire.
Illea awaited her Sisters.
