Great Bear Wilderness [wp] tukstal

there was some relief found in the discovery that even solharr at one point did not know what purpose fate had carved for him in the threads of time. velia had known this for herself, had been reared to understand that she would grow in grace and the teachings of the forest. 

but she was a girl yearning for all the answers, and she feared as any young adult might as they found their place amongst the world. 

her attention drifted then to the warm bodies surrounding them as the man spoke of máni and light. she rounded her focus back upon solharr, the motion of others in the background no more than a blur. he spoke of his god, he'd taught her this. 

máni — light, protector, spirit, nurturer. but in this moment it was not his god who velia thought guided her. 

"you be a light too solharr."

for his wife. for those he led. and for those he did not. the nymph could see this in him, and she hoped he could see this for himself too.
