Moonspear The painful tears of goodbye

A powerful summons, bereft with grief, cast a spell on the redtail’s blood. He stood and moved without pain or hesitation, despite the hellcat’s marks upon him. No wounds, no matter how severe, could have stopped Njord from swiftly answering Rodyn’s cries.

It was an odd hour and Njord knew, by the tone of the man’s howls, that something was terribly, horribly wrong.

At the time, he had been asleep with his family in the Sveijan-Corten Ulaq. Njord kissed @Meerkat’s cheek as they quickly exchanged words with hushed voices. Seal and @Orca II began to rouse, but they were quickly reassured and lulled back to sleep, watched over by their mother.

Then, he departed in his friend’s direction. Njord’s journey bowed in an arc toward @Sialuk’s ulaq and he managed to cross paths with his leader on the way. Yet, there wasn’t time for words. A worried glance was all he could exchange as the pair arrived together before the Moontide man.

“A Dia!” Njord exclaimed when he saw Rodyn’s prodigiously broken mien. Accompanying him was a young woman and in both of their grasps were two bundles of furs. And somehow, someway, Njord just knew.

His heart sank. “Come in, come in,” his voice, tainted by worry, welcomed as he shepherded the pair towards Sialuk. Get them situated, he thought. There would be a time for explanations later.
