[Selena Chosen]

As promised, though having nothing to do with the evil Dire4ctrixes, and more to do with Tohr, Selena donned her robes and went to the altar she had made in the corner of her room. She prayed the prayers she had learned and recited all her life.

Selena had also made a promise to go to the Other Side and continue her work as a scribe though she was no longer sequestered. Amalya, the Directrix when she was sequestered had come over with Selena and Layla. As far as she knew there wasn't a new Directrix and if there was, Selena didn't know who it was. When she went to the Other Side, it wasn't to visit, it was to get the work done and leave. Maybe she should take the time to talk to a few of the Chosen while she was there.

Selena donned her robes an took off her running shoes. She stepped into the bathroom to check her hair. It was braided and wound on top her head as was tradition. She was always careful with her appearance. She did not want to offend the Scribe Virgin in any way but she thought it a bit strange that she hadn't seen her during any of her visits. The last time she saw her, the light that usually shown beneath her black robes at the ground, just didn't seem as bright as normal. Selena wondered if it had anything to do with less of the Race worshiping her.

With her min on other things, she left the Mansion barefoot and walked to the garden.http://midnightblackdagger.proboards.com/thread/942/obligations The scent of Fritz flowers always made her pause before leaving. She knew she was coming back but what if.....

Selena looked up at the moon and stars which were never seen on the Other Side since it was always daylight there, but not the kind of daylight they needed to heed. Maybe when she got back, she'd learn astronomy as well as anatomy, physiology and medical terminology.

Selena calmed herself and concentrated then dematerialized to the Other Side, into the courtyard as always. She wondered sometimes how she didn't wind up in the fountain or up the tree. She smiled to herself with the way her mind was working tonight.

Selena went to the Temple of Sequestered Scribes and found the doors unlocked, meaning there was no one sequestered any longer. Selena wasn't even sure if anyone besides herself was doing any transcribing at all. She willed the candles to light. She quickly transcribed everything in the window and sent back some of it and prepared the rest for binding.

Most of it was about the colony they were helping. Everything that was being done was written and would be added to the volumes in the Temple of Books. Selena bound what was ready and willed the candles out as she left both Temples.

She went back to the fountain hoping to fin some of the Chosen around, but there was no one around. Perhaps they were at dinner or maybe vespers. She stayed there letting the water in the fountain run through her fingers.

Selena listened to the Scribe Virgin's songbirds that Vishous had replaced. It reminded her that he was past time for a feeding and she'd need to talk to Doc Jane about it since speaking directly to Vishous was not done. Chosen didn't remind the Brotherhood when it was time to feed. They knew and it was up to them to come to the Chosen.

Selena dematerialized back to the Mansion and went looking for Doc Jane down in the Clinic but no one was there or in the gym. Shrugging her shoulders, Selena returned to her room and removed her robes. She hung them up but made a mental note to have one of the doggen clean them. She did not want to put them down the chute with the other dirty clothes and towels.

Slipping into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, she laced up her running shoes and went back down through the tunnels to work out on the treadmill and the hand weights.
