the duck was not ready to depart, not ready to quit his company and go back to the lush proud forests of moonspear. sadness pooling in her heart. salt burning her throat. reminders of her own island, never forgotten in the duck's memory. 

do you still think of the one who hunted seals? came the sharp, jarring throught; her young husband, put to death by falling rocks.

do not forget. be content in what you have been given after it all.
