History

Diantha was in the Oracle of Kruphix's service, and it was time for lady Kydele's meal. Diantha knocked on her door, and the oracle bid her enter. Diantha stopped staring at Kydele's six arms as The oracle turned to face her and smiled. Diantha set down the tray of mutton and grilled vegetables, fresh olives, and cheese. Kruphix had few worshipers and his temple in Meletis was small, but they spared nothing for the oracle of their god.

Diantha asked if the oracle was well, and Kydele nodded, saying she had been thinking of the temple of Kruphix at the edge of the world, where she had spent some time after her god rescued her from the grip of Xenagos.

Diantha almost bowed, almost turned, almost left the room, but instead, she told Kydele she envied her. As a priest, Diantha had faith in Kruphix, but she could not hear his voice and had never walked in his presence.

Diantha hesitated. She should not ask, but she did. She wanted to know if there was anything Kydele could share of her time at the temple, any knowledge of Kurphix, some insight, that Diantha could take part in.

The oracle turned to stare out the window again, eyes fixed on the distant horizon, and for a long moment, she said nothing at all.

Diantha waited for a while, then the oracle shook her and said there was nothing at all she could share.

She said nothing more, and Diantha took it for a dismissal. She turned away and left the oracle at her window.

Behind her, the oracle stared out the window, past the city, past the horizon, as though gazing into an infinite distance across the planes.
