I realized just how damn hard and cold the ground had become as I lay under my wagon drawing a design underneath it. I had a feeling my muscles would be screaming at me later tonight, but I needed to get this done before the move. It was a feeling I had and I needed to do it, there are a few others I have done this for this night as well. The risk of the cold seeping and settling into my body is worth it, for this was a powerful symbol, it had come to me as I walked, the answer to many things had come gathered into one point into my mind. We would be ready .
Though ready for what? Well that was the question of the night. One we had the answer to. But did not want to.
As I lay there , someone was nearing and I rolled out from beneath the wagon, I knew it wasn't any of my children, father had taken the boys out to teach them more on honing their tracking skills, and Hallie was doing various things for Cana and Chay, she seemed to learn much from these two women, though some things, well I might have to just get even with a two certain females.
It was then I noticed the package on my wagon, I recognized the color of the healers clan and touching it I knew it was from the young healer prospect. She has been doing much, it has not escaped my observations her efforts. Of how she performs every task no matter what without complaint and without whining or attitude. She has that fire of a tuchuk woman and that inner strength of one as well, she is learning much. And working hard to prove herself.
Opening it I noticed immediately the translucent white of the stones, lifting them gently I would look at them for the longest time they reminded my of the moons, they were beautiful and compelling to look at, I knew what they were and I had to smile, speaking softly to myself. " These meant a great deal to her. " I would gently put them back in their ebony cover and walk to my personal spex wagon and placed it beside the skull that Fonce gave me long ago. This is where I put things of special meaning to me. I was impressed that she would gift me with something so personal and also because she did it, it was good to see a young one having been taught something that many had forgotten. This impressed me the most. The gift would be treasured.
