While Fenrir and his company navigated the dense forest, entangling themselves in their intricate schemes and dark ambitions, Mary Ann worked quietly but effectively within the temple walls.
Her role was no less critical, and she approached her task with her characteristic ease and charm. Where Fenrir's actions leaned on manipulation and calculated force, Mary Ann wielded charisma and subtlety like a finely honed blade.
Mary Ann's easygoing nature had quickly endeared her to the temple's common priests. Unlike the other nobles they were accustomed to serving—who often carried an air of entitlement and demanded servitude—Mary Ann presented herself as approachable and relatable.
She greeted everyone warmly, remembered names, and expressed genuine interest in their work and lives.
