St Frances Xavier Cabrini is the patron saint of immigrants, refugees, and pilgrims.

The church grounds are blessed but it is non-nondenominational/non-religious blessings which allows anyone to pass on the grounds. With Peninnah's alignment to stonework the blessings on the grounds and buildings will appear more like Earth magic than Christian works. There are areas of the cemetery that are blessed Christian. However, there are empty niches around the yard that are open to be set up as small altars to whatever religions are practiced in the Nexus. The grounds also include a small vegetable garden and an enormous old oak tree that sits out front of the church.

The church and the grounds are typically open 24/7 to the public, though the rectory where Peninnah has small quarters, kitchen and living areas, are not open to the public.

Peninnah is available to offer most Church services including ministry, confession, and overseeing services such as weddings and baptisms. She can provide sanctuary, in the Catholic sense of the term, when asked directly. Peninnah also offers meals to the poorer inhabitants or simply those in need.

Currently, Peninnah lives alone at the church with her dog, Agatha.

I do not have feet. They are paws.

I do not let others see my paws.

I wish I had feet so I could wear shoes like everyone else.

I have to be careful that I do not leave footprints as it can cause panic if they are noticed.

I am light on my feet and do not often lose my balance or footing on any surface.

I have met those who are obsessed with obtaining a claw from my feet paws for some purpose I do not understand.

If I had feet I would not be restricted to wearing floor length robes.

Corwin's words had stayed with Peninnah. He had said she should share the world as she saw it. Peninnah had not known how to share what she saw. To the mortal eyes it would be a dream or a nightmare perhaps. However it was to be seen the desire to share it was there in her mind. It took time to locate a piece of stone that she could acquire for free. It arrived and was placed in the sanctuary upon a table where she could work on the sculpture in relative private.

She walked around the stone piece. She could feel the stone. She knew it as she knew a close friend. Time had passed since she had sculpted. So much time had passed since she used any of the powers that made her what she was. She brushed her fingers over the surface. The stone bent to her touch like soft clay despite the grayish luster that marked it as marble.

Slowly a form came from the stone as her fingers worked over the cool surface. The shape of a crumbled church took form. The windows were gone but the details were there in every detail. Her pace slowed as she worked in the details of engravings, buttresses and the altar laying broken within. These were the dreams of a gargoyle. It was one of the many things she saw when her eyes closed.

Unaware of her environment Peninnah continued working on the piece. Once the creativity had begun she cold not stop working.

My kind are not born per say but we do have a place where we were given life. My place of origin is near Bath in England. This is St. James Church in Avebury where I was carved and brought to life.

I do not know as I do not require food. There are so many items I have never tried. I do not know where sweets would fall within those categories. I do not believe I am either as I do not eat. I have never required sustenance. I do on occasion partake in ice cream or cookies but otherwise I eat nothing at all.

For this Friday, list all the places you have learned things. Mentors, the fields of life, schools, whatever has taught you how to make it in your world.

I believe we learn from everyone we encounter. Some we learn more from than others but time does not dictate how much we learn or gain from another. Over my long life I have met many thousands of people and experienced millions of events. I can not possibly do justice to a query such as this without writing a length novel that would span nearly six centuries.

Has your muse ever had a thought so dark, so macabre that they never dare share it with anyone? Conversely, has anyone ever made a vile threat towards you muse out of anger, frustration, honest to God malice?

Peninnah had fallen to the deep sleep but the cry woke her. Instantly she knew and moved from her perch. He had Fyre by the hair.

“Let her go.”

He swung at Peninnah cursing, dragging Fyre along. Instinct, Godly destiny took over as she roared. Her wings opened and the robe fell.

“What the….” He swung again at the nearly naked woman before him.

Her legs tensed and she flung herself at him. Wing talons ripped skin; claws unsheathed and tore in. Her eyes went wild as she bared the fangs no one saw because of her abilities. Guardians killed.
