Meridian had heard of Candle's promotion, and the wolf attack. Her trek back to the Tribe had left her weary, tired. So many stressors weighed down on her. And for what?
The Tribe was generous, but Meridian knew her heart didn't lie there. Their ways and rites were too distant from her own for the sun priestess to be happy. It had been just a stop in her journey, a cloud, concealing the noonday light so it could rest.
Informing the others of her intentions, she left the quartz as a gift for their hospitality. The cloud had passed. She left at the sun's dawn.
