[The room is mostly dark, but there's enough light to see that Valdis is sketching and almost not even paying attention to the camera.]
Ban Om. Kaka'i. The Sabonile. Tariku. Tifaut. Tia-Cheal.
[The six major religions in Aifaran had recently drawn her attention, but for less than ideal reasons.]
Organized religion is usually something to be wary of on some level, and while these may operate in the light of day, what of the ones that don't? Any summoning of powers based in the sensation of death, on harnessing the final moments of life, in consuming the moment the soul breaks...this is dark magic. Dangerous magic.
[She makes a few notes then goes back to whatever she is drawing.]
With the current state of Konryu, meaning the collisions between the planes, it is prudent to wonder about the darker side of things. There's an underworld to every religion. Parts that break away to interpret texts differently. Pieces that twist and morph and remake themselves. It is not exactly hard to think that at least one of these six has potential for darkness.
[She flips the book around to show the details of her sketch. Faceless figures wrapped in shadow, all surrounding a bound animal. But the animal isn't alive, its skin and fur are rotting off, leaving a half covered skull with gaping, empty eyes. To those who explored the depth of the Narrakra, they may recognize the animal to some extent.]
I just want to know which one.

I'm not sure what you are implying, but it is probably best to not announce it to every single Dreamer.

Re: Private text
Perhaps I'm more paranoid than most, it's simply a survival instinct. By all means, announce it to the world if you so desire, but no one will blame your for having secrets.

I don't want him to think he has any more control over me.

[That doesn't bode well, but Valdis knows all about irreversible damage.]

[Valdis wasn't exactly sure where she was going with that statement, but there wasn't really anywhere else to go with it anyway.]

[It means something, but it isn't reassuring]
But he tried to kill me, so I killed him first.
[And he was the least of her problems here]

[Not that she had known he was her father at the time.]
I'd say it isn't a trend, but this place seems to draw a certain type of person.
