Jade Fern Grove coffin run

hi sorry in advance <3

heda did not avoid anselm, but she did not seek him out, fearful to press her presence upon him. she kept close to the densite and to druid, and to the growing, hungry children.
it was for them she was hunting today, roving further —
god, please bless @Malakai. let him turn his heart to your leadership.
the ground shifted from spring-sprouts to lusher verdancy.
god, please bless @Simeon. let his heart heal from holding us.
the air tasted of rain, and her eyes shone beneath it.
god, please bless @Judah. let his spirit lay to rest.
acceptance; faltering; she tripped and sprawled and lay thin-legged and tense in the grass.
god, please bless @Abel Elam. guide him in the way caracal and i could not.
heda climbed to her feet, leaves falling from her ivory pelt.
god, please bless @Anathema. heal the heart that i broke in her.
eyes shutting; sparrows winging through ferns in search of insects.
god, please bless @Ava Amara. teach her she was always wanted.
god, please bless tzedeq zerach (@Saint). return them to your sight from where they were taken.
she stood still and watched the light play among the leaves above her.
god, please bless @Ezra. let him grow up without bitterness in his heart.
butterflies rose in a whirling spiral of color when heda moved again.
god, please bless @Gideon. protect him from the cruelty of life.
the sun was warm upon her, and she stopped to feel its touch.
god, please bless @Dinah.
the tears came; i have wronged her, lord. i have made her carry us. i have leaned on her as i should have leaned upon you. protect her, please, god. heal the wounds she never has been able to heal. even if she never comes home, show her she is loved. show her she will always be loved.
and when heda whispered amen to herself, she came to with a wet blink directly into a stranger's goldcoin eyes.
