Lyssa

''"Ye have the mark of plague upon ye," said the citizen named Gallrick. "Leave this place lest you sicken our people."''

''"I've lost my family and my home," cried the desperate woman. "Have you no heart?"'' Yet each person, in turn, did look away.

''Then from the crowd came a young woman, Sara. She looked upon the woman with pity. "If you need help," said Sara, "I will give it." And Sara did approach

the gnarled, bent woman and did offer her a helping hand.''

Then the sickened woman pulled from her body the robes of plague, revealing Herself to be the goddess Lyssa.

''The people of Wren fell to their knees, begging Lyssa's mercy. But lifting Sara gently, saith She, "True beauty is measured not by appearance but by

''actions and deeds. Many have eyes, but few have seen. Of all here, you saw the beauty behind the illusion. And you alone shall be blessed with My gifts."''
