%title Unseeing - Consequences
The next morning, a second strange occurrence greets Lyut when he opens his eyes. Sitting at the entrance to his cave is a creature very much like him in many ways, but in many ways different. Long and lithe, yes, strong and slender, yes, but shorter, and with fur of the purest white as opposed to the dark brown of his own. Too, a face more slender and ears larger, and on the tip of his tail, the fur is dark black.

"I thought that the gods were too dear to be seen?"
I close my eyes. "Yes, this is true, most of the time. However, I was not completely honest with you yesterday, Lyut."
I close my eyes. "Yes, this is true most of the time. However, I was not completely honest with you yesterday, Lyut."
He frowns. "If you are a god and you are holy, how can you lie?"

Lyut sits cross-legged and bows his head as he thinks on this. He knows that, on some level, it must be true, for there are times when the weather is bad for days on end and he cannot --- or could not --- tell the difference between day and night, and there are times when he will go a week without food from the river, and once there was even a time when something happened to the water of his section of the stream that caused it to taste bitter and plant-like, and no boiling could remove the flavor.

Lyut looks startled at this. "Is it a wicked thing that you have given me sight? Have you made us both unholy?"
"No, faithful." I hold up my hands. "It is good and holy that you may see, and Ýng agrees. However, They control the balance, and so they have decided that the balance for you seeing as for me to be seen.

Lyut nods. "Is that not a punishment?"
