Revelation

Treni had never had to deal with as much rage as she did then. Rather than push her to act violently and without thinking, it stunned her into compliance for three days. Three days in which Rudsis ordered her to demean herself even more than she'd already done by herself.

She was little more than a bed toy. Which was ironic, because that was exactly what she wanted Rudsis to be from the very beginning. Taking orders, however, not having to do anything but feign absolute obedience to everything Rudsis said, allowed the goddess to free up her mind, and look at things as they stood. Little by little, she was able to look past the rage, overcome the shock, and gain a better perspective with which to decide what to do.

On the third night, she sat on the bed, looking down at Rudsis' sleeping form.
