Sometimes the days travel slowly and sometimes they travel quickly, lately they seem to drag so much slower than usual. A stillness is heavy in the air at times, the silence is deafening, although there has been the gift of life bestowed upon the tuchuk. At times it seems as if there has been a massive slaughter resulting in a silence that allows only for the echoes of the herlits and bosk to flutter in the winds.
I have been busy with the clan and my children, Hallie and Arkus seemed to have at times sprouted over night into young adults. They now notice boys and girls, though fortunately most are to afraid to be to forward with her knowing full well that her mother is a Haruspex, they never know what will I do or not do. I find it kind of funny. Arkus enjoys chasing the slave girls and occasionally tries his hand at the young girls his age, well you know it is just as amusing to watch young boys and girls grow. The uncertainty, the risks and things they come out with. You never really know what to expect, I enjoy watching them. Hallie enjoys being a healer if the kailla, I watch her shadow Cana at times learning and watching. She is fascinated with helping animals, she has a way with them. Cana I think would be a good mentor when it comes to teaching her about helping animals, the healing ways I have been teaching her since she first showed an interest in doing such. Arkus I think may well decide to be a scarrer, he spends much time near the clan watching them but yet he also enjoys the thrill of the hunt he is often out with father or Chay refining his skills for tracking and hunting. The fact that Chay hasn't killed him means he must be a quick learner given she is not known for her patience or tolerance.
The youngest son is also growing fast,I keep his father in his thoughts and ensure his image is clear in his young mind. Garyx has been gone for a very long time, it is interesting how you hear the whispers of the whys. There is no reason other than he like many other warriors volunteered when my father asked to go on this extended patrol. I knew before he left that it would be one of the longest and hardest ones that we would face. I have faith in my mate, I know he will return. I do not worry for I would know if he was ill or injured. Nor do I play the martyr and bring attention to the fact that he is not yet back home in the embrace of his family. I send upon the wings of the winds my thoughts to them, I touch him in dreams in way only a spex can. Yes, I miss him very much, while he is gone a part of me is missing, but I have his gift to remind me of him and keep him close, which is why he made it the way he did. I touch it daily to keep him close to my heart and utilize the strength he wants me to have from it. He is with me even when he is not.
As I take a few moments to sit, I think upon the joy of helping Cana deliver her and Ba'atar's son. It was an honor to be given such a gift. I have not yet seen him, but I am sure he is beaming with pride just as Cana radiated pride and joy when she held him. I had a wonderful talk with her afterwards, the kind we used to have and that I missed. She spoke of various things, and I did also, I hope in some small way I was able to help. I did finally get to also see my first grandson, that was an unexpected gift as well, one that will embrace my heart for a very long time. I also took Tug with me after the birth, he is like another grandson as well. I recall much of his birth and plans that had been made. It is funny, how Tanner and Tayco joked of each of us having children to grow up together. Such did not come to pass.. the winds and spirits had other plans. Not that I am complaining, I am happy with the path my life has taken and of the bond that I have with Garyx. Things always have a way of happening as they should. But who knows between Cana and I such may one day yet happen.
I have not seen Silk or Shi, though I have heard that they are now together and that she is expecting their child. They seem to have come thru the storm to find their own path together. It is my hope that they find happiness this time around. But I have always known the two of them would be together even though each tried to tell me otherwise. It is rare I am wrong in the signs I am given to see of people.
My time of relaxation has passed and I must return to the clan to work, it is time to prepare for the move in the near future back to the other camp. I need to find father to speak to him of when it is time and what the omens will reveal. I haven't seen him knowing he has had his hands full taking care of various problems while Fonce is missing. I do not yet look deep into the shadows, there is an unsettling feeling that I can not push aside. I do not dwell on it yet, I know he still lives and breathes but the shadows seem to be holding them deep within their embrace. His future is uncertain and not clearly seen. I find myself seeing who honors him by being here and helping the tribe and I see the ones that do not, thereby showing their disrespect to him, though you can wager a lot of bosk that the moment he appears they will suddenly show up and speak of how they did this and did that, when in truth they have not been seen and have done nothing. This time, I will speak out and if it pisses off people oh well so be it I am to old to give an urts arse on sugar coating things. To long have I remained silent on it, those days are gone.
The bitch in the witch has returned, and she is about to fight for the true ways of the tuchuk. And if some do not like it then don't let the wagon flap hit you where the skies split you.
