Kibs' Faith

This is just a little something I wanted to try as an experiment, please tell me what you think *hugs*

Kibs knelt down at the Karavan temple near Yrkanis, and shut her eyes. She concentrated on releasing all non-essential thoughts from her mind, as she did every day at the temple.
"Oh Jena, goddess of the Sun, and of us all, I pray to you to keep me on the path. It is as always my honour to fight in your name, you are my guidance, my true love.
I have lead many battles in your name, I have crafted many wares for your glory, I have assisted in constructing this mighty temple of your love.
I look forward to each coming day as I do the last, in confidence that you are always by my side, knowing that everything I do, I do for you.
I must rest my conscience again this day, for I have killed two homins of the Kami faith recently. I was not able to talk them out of their blind faith for evil, and had no choice but to strike them down when battle erupted. But you know of this already, so I ask for forgiveness for myself and my comrades of the faith.
Thank you listening to my prayers this day, it is an honour to follow you"
Kibs opened her eyes and raised her head. She rubbed her eyes with her hand, and heard a voice.
"Jena is happy with your continuing work for her Kibs."
Kibs was stunned, it was one of the Karavan representatives at the temple. She had addressed her by name!
She used her axe as support as she stood to face the Karavan, and bowed.
"Jena watches over you, as she does all her followers, and she knows of your deeds. However, there is always more to do, remember continued faith is always important."
Kibs nodded her head in agreement
"I have a special task for you. There has been an increased Kami presence down in Kami circle recently, and we wish to discover why. We can't go there ourselves without provoking a fight, and then we may not learn why. This is why we need you.
Would you investigate what the Kami are up to there, and report back to me."
Kibs, still humbled by the request closed her eyes for a second.
"There is no need to ask, of course I shall do this for the honour of Jena. I shall not fail you."
The Karavan just nodded in responce and wondered off to her duties. Kibs decided to head back to Yrkanis, readying her mind for what was to come...
