"The Wyrm is my enemy. Our enemy. It is the destroyer of all that is good. It kills and breaks and burns. It is everywhere." It's not a very clear description, but Bella barely gets all this spirit stuff on her own anyway. There's an anger in it, though, a zeal that isn't entirely unlike that of the Covenant.

"Not all humans are good. The Wyrm rides them. The Weaver rides them. To be open to them is to lay us bare to attack. We fight from the shadows. Our enemies fight from the shadows. Leeches and worse things, too."

Bella gives a short exhale through the nose. "I see no difference," she says. "If something is true then why would I believe in anything else? If I know the truth then I believe it."
