In the end, Mumu decided to accept Ikfael’s offer, but before doing so, she laid out her reasoning and asked us to check it.

One, the lodge was in danger—both literally and financially. We had to be able to defend ourselves from assassins, as well as deal with any fines stemming from Borba’s murder spree. There was also the Long Dark coming up soon, and to help deal with it and everything else, we needed to bring Mumu and Tegen back to one hundred percent.

Two, an exchange of this size should dramatically help Ikfael, as would the new offerings once they started. I was grateful to not be the only one worried about our dear otter, and this would be a way for the village to help her.

Voorhei depended on Ikfael for clean water—the village was famous for it—so this exchange would ultimately benefit its residents, resulting in a win-win-win for everyone involved: Mumu, Tegen, Ikfael, and the villagers of Voorhei. That was going to be Mumu’s justification to Koda the Village Head for the expense.

After that, it was just a matter of formally agreeing to the deal, which required a vow from Mumu and Tegen. No matter how they expected to arrange for the offerings, the responsibility was ultimately theirs.

The spirits of all three reacted as soon as the vows were completed. Ikfael’s grew brighter, to about a third of where she’d been before she’d saved me from the assassin. As for Mumu and Tegen, silver flashed deep within their spirits; then some dark, stray wisps were ejected, only to vanish into the air, which in turn led to a shifting and realignment of their spirits’ flows.

That was what it looked like anyway, and it made me really, really want to see the effects on me when I interacted with Ikfael. Alas, my spirit eyes didn’t work on myself, and my Status remained mute on the subject.

Although, I did have Ikfael’s Blessing. Maybe that was related? And Mumu and Tegen probably had it now too. We’d likely need to visit a world speaker to find out for sure. Unless people could feel blessings like they did the other aspects of their Statuses?

I asked Tegen, and he replied, "Yes, Little Pot. The blessing is in my heart: a bead of pure, warm water.”

Mumu put her hand to her chest. “I feel the same.”

When I felt in my heart, though, I sensed only Yuki. Then, when I plumbed deeper, the phone in my head sprang to mind. I saw:

Blessing of Ikfael

A blessing from Ikfael, a spirit of the land. First granted out of obligation to a god, the blessing continues because of your amusing antics, daily fish tributes, and friendship. You’ve earned a measure of trust and have been rewarded for it. Provides a bonus to healing and recovery rates while within Ikfael’s territory. Also tempers environmental effects within the territory and protects against small, non-evolved insects and vermin.
