#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 12 Danger in WIP
Some of the goddes are in danger of fading away. Little to no danger to the human characters -- while it isn't a focus of the story, everyone involved knows that the court of public opinion is in session.

Closest I have to 'mysterious' is 'confused':

The trail led first to one of the fashionable regions of the city, which confused him.

#WIPSnips Oct 11 -- Cousin
closest I've got is 'relative'
#HuntedAndCalled

Daniyal sat on a comfortable spot of roof and ignored the Field-Called's latest lecture. There was something about the former monk sitting next to them that bothered Daniyal. Montu appeared to gleam, as if lit by moonlight even though it was midday. The non-existent light was one Daniyal had seen often since being Called by Iowe the Moon. Each time it had meant something different, and they were still learning the nuances. Would be learning, they expected, for a very long time. Iowe was change given form, so of course their abilities as her Called would change.
For years, living in the slums of the city, Daniyal had prayed for Iowe to bring them change. They didn't believe in big changes — escaping the slums, inheriting a large sum of money from a distant relative, getting a respectable job… Those kinds of changes were for others, and often brought as much destruction as benefit. They reminded Daniyal of lightning. But the little, small, daily changes of Iowe, those they had been able to believe in. To strive for.
All too often, to fail at.
But they never stopped believing, and that belief had brought them here. A lightning change for a follower of Iowe. It was almost humorous, but Daniyal couldn't help watching and waiting for the destruction that was sure to follow.

I think it depends on what you mean by 'honor'. Iberto is kind of baffled by the notion of honor and if you asked him, he'd say 'Results, of course.' But he will stand by his word, even if it costs him the results he wants.
