Deep in the heart of a never-knowing

Osprey had sort of expected either of the boys being entitled "the heirs" and the girl being the pretty princess, meant to be married to a faraway lands. That would be the true spirit of traditional fairy-tales. It seemed that Blue had a different opinion about this - which was good - men had ruled the world alone for far too long.

"If Constantine and Casimir are the traditional names of your side of the family, how come you ended up being Blue Willow?" Osprey asked feeling genuine curiousity. But - when you come to think of it - her own family members were named after different customs - some of them bore the Greek names, others were named after birds of prey and the third group were "the miscellaneous" - she had never figured out, what Custard, Koontz and Nevs meant. They seemed totally random and she didn't think that March Owl had given much of a second thought of these ones.

"I will be the fairy godmother that has come for a visit," she said in response to Blue willow's question. "I can give blessings. Say, Eilidh - grow beautiful, kind and fair in nature. Constantine, you will be strong and fast. You will win many battles, be feared by your enemies, but respected. And Casmir - the smallest one - you might not grow up to be the strongest or tallest, yet your mind will be the one of envy and wonder. I bless you with wisdom and knowledge of how to use it for the greater good."
