Adjustments II

The Dog And The Wolf, I, 2.

Nemeta invokes the nymph, Ahes, then the gods, Cernunnos, Epona, Sucellus and Lug, but stops short of calling on the Three of Ys. She is not sure whether, in her trance, she sees the Three. The underpriestess, Runa, counsels Nemeta first that their Gods have disowned them and secondly that it is in any case unwise to invoke those Gods while dealing with Christians. The survivors of Ys must endure, learn and avoid slavery and might even prevail. It might take until after they are dead to learn whether the Gods of the land still live. (In the new dispensation, those Gods will become either demons or saints but we must let history take its course.)
