Steals!

Erzulie grew by the day as Njord observed in wonder. New litters were common on Meares Island – pregnancy and childbirth were not new to the seafarer… but these were his children (well… perhaps Merlin’s…). That fact made everything feel different. Special.

Njord noticed his daily hunts and patrols began to orbit around the expecting captain. She was like the Earth, fertile… life-giving, and Njord was her watchful, but distant, Moon.

On this day, he found the goldspun woman reclined on the beach, watching the sea’s blue waves crash upon their shores. He approached and laid down besides her. “Yer more beautiful than ev’r, ‘Zulie. Can I fetch ya anythin’?” he asked, noticing a thin wash of melancholy on her visage.
