"Uh, who's Durga and Homusubi?"

Upon hearing your question, Skadi pouts and elbows Nemo.

"Sheesh, Nemo! If you want her to help you with the anchors, you gotta tell her the basics!"

"Sorry, I thought she'll learn on the go."

"If you didn't bother to ask or talk with her, she'll never learn!"

Skadi then turns to you.

"Anyways, Durga's the deity of the West Anchor, and Homusubi's the East deity. Last time I heard, Durga got some kind of fight club going on, and Homusubi started some kind of academy."

This talk about deities makes you curious about Skadi's cohorts.

"What about Astra, is she a goddess? And while we're at it, is Yukio one too?"

Skadi smiles, her teeth gleamed like a glacier.

"Ah no, Yukio's more of a nature spirit, eh. As for Astra... dunno, she got here relatively recently. She got powers like a deity, but she's got that underling feel to her too... I'd say she's somewhere between a deity and an angel, I guess?"

Nemo cuts through the conversation before you and Skadi slips into a theological debate.

"While we're grateful for the hospitality, we still have to go check the Reality Anchor."

Skadi nods.

"Oho, yea! The Dammerlicht and all, eh. I'll ask Astra to escort."

Well, time to do the check - which you didn't actually see how in the South, since Sierra wanted a chat. Shall you join Nemo to see how t's done?
