Wheeling Gull Isle sermon on the mount

no posting order! anyone can still join! <3

like her mate, heda looked around at the little ones gathered, and saw that they had grown. she would trust in god to bring new babies to their island when it was time. for now, the mother focused her mind upon the fact that not all of them would stay.
how would they do in the world beyond? this was the duty of heda and caracal and everett, and those who had gathered thereafter. disciples. carriers of a holy word.
"i wanted to talk to you," she began with a soft blink of her golden eyes, and her face grew soft and wondering in the moments that followed. "i wanted to talk to you all about how we share. about goodness. about evil."
her gaze touched judah, and then ava.
"all of you here are devoted to god, to learning. to his love. to peace," heda said earnestly. "if you're here with us now, as a child, as a student, then you're open to goodness. there are those who will not be. in your life, you will meet those who want nothing to do with god."
"speak to those who listen. leave them alone if they don't want to hear it. god shows his own light," she said, a smile curving her mouth. "every one of you belongs here. every one of you was brought here, led here, sent here, born here. god has a story for everyone to tell. tell it long and often."
a breath. "this winter, i think we might go to the mainland for a little while." she felt confident enough to say this, though did glance to caracal for a second. "everyone is welcome to come. and if others there want to hear your story, then tell them."
heda looked for a moment in the direction that ana had gone.
