Moonspear no place like home

Seal’s heart jumped like a river fish inside of her chest as the apprentice’s doe-brown gaze scanned every face, excited so many visited now. Then, before the young woman could parse anything else, a silence came over the gathering. The leader of Moonspear, her cherished teacher and mentor, addressed the crowd.

Every word from Sialuk’s mouth became burned into Seal’s mind. She would remember this moment forever: a great crossing towards the next chapter of her life. It was a life-changing cannon event.

She did not know what her mentor had in store, and so Seal sucked in a breath from anticipation.

Brecheliant!

This surprised Seal, but in a good way. It was not the spirit walk of men, nor a women’s circle in the moon villages. To take up residence with an ally like Brecheliant felt right – for though she had been born upon this mountain, and the moon tribes were the only villages she knew, her blood was not of the sunshine people.

Plus, Frolic would be with her!

“I will make you all verrae proud,” she promised as her eyes became glassy from emotional elation.
