But speaking of secrets, is Helen hiding some else, or is she just complicated? I guess you're about to find out. Helen speaks many tongues, hides her true alliegences and yet, claims she wants to speak truth. Of course like everyone who claims to be bad at lying, she expertly blends truth with deception. Government trained, positioned centrally within a coven of witches, travelling with the biggest pile of Yimel's Blood seen in one place... and yet she hasn't ratted the trio out, perhaps she's rethinking things. Lies are severly punished by Yimel, so much so that Violet and myself still carry the scars - perhaps Helena is lying to herself, and I hope that doesn't see her hurt. --- You can help support the show and get ad free episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.Patreon.com/blighthouse⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find the authors: Email: sprouting@blighthouse.studio Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesprouting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/vtgnVAZY44 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blighthouse Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production. --- Our Amazing Affliates If you want to buy our eldritch plant themed merch, head over to our ⁠⁠⁠Teepublic⁠⁠⁠ store page - www.teepublic.com/stores/blight-house.
