Ocean's Breath Plateau song of storms

He did not think he could live upon a mountain. Tullik closed her eyes. Her mountain, Moonspear’s mountain, everything tumbled about in her head.

The mountain… She swallowed, feeling it thickly in her throat. The bandage she had not ripped off since the snow, since the mountain.

Belongs to Moonspear. Not to me. Inhale, exhale.

I left one mountain and arrived to another even more broken then when I left the first. The new one bandaged my wounds, allowed me to forget the old. I would have vanished up there, had I not met you. Her pawpads were still rough from the rocky terrain, her heart still remembered the air there, but her heart also remembered the soft breath of the sea, her heart remembered seeing the ocean for the very first time. It was not a sense of home, but had anywhere ever been? Tullik had grown up nomadic.

Mountains just so happened to be her greatest triumph and her worst fear.

My people stayed in the mountains out of fear. The lowlands, they said, were full of darkness and evil, had been since our ancestors had climbed into them. In her eyes lived steel.

I think..I think I am done living in fear. i am not Tullik of the Mountains. I will always hold her in my heart, but she is a girl too scared to live. I am Tullik of the Seal Hunters, and I will be a woman who is scared of nothing.
