The Heartwood [m] In what appears to be a ritual "Godspeak" song of the Rieklings

I so want for there to be a Church of Ponyboy XD

Slowly, steadily, and mindful of her breathing, Ponyboy led Anathema back to his home. He would pause whenever he felt that she needed a break, and would take her to the stream to drink, and use some of the fresh waters to clean some of the dried blood from her forehead. He wondered what his mother might make of him bringing home a lost girl, without even knowing her name, but he thought as well that he would be forgiven- the girl clearly needed care, and he'd already become far too attached to her to simply return her from where she'd come.
