It had been a slow journey, down from the Spine, and definitely one unsponsored by any healer, but Vairë needed to know.
So, she dipped into the forest that was to house Winterglade, before everything. In her mouth, she carried a skull, the fox skull that had once resided in the red pelt thrown over her back. It was in the center of the once village that she planned to place it, bidding an end to her girlhood. She was to be a married woman, to bear children, this year she hoped. And to do so, she needed a husband.
She trusted her anaa to do it. Kukutux knew the ways to find a husband, she had done so well with Aiolos. Vairë only hoped she would receive what they had.
The doe ghosted into the forest, moving slow and steady, the fox skull between her teeth slipping and sliding with every movement. She would find the village. There had to be some remnant here for her to lay to rest.
