I am Kiernan MacLiedrydd of the Clan MacLiedrydd: High born Lady of the Sidhe, favored Childe of Morrigan, Keeper of Odin's Runes. My Four-legged and Winged Brothers and Sisters come to my Call, the storms Sing my name, my Voice sings the Song of the Trees, Earth Mother provides, Sky Father sends the sun to warm me, the Moon is my shelter....
..... and I cannot die.
Fifty years pass- a mere speck in a span of many lifetimes- and he shows up at my door, still wearing the amulet I gifted him so long ago.
Orion Quest.
Bastard.
Heard my Call as usual- I was not being quiet in the least. My rage and sorrow burned within and released without in a torrent of tears and Song so powerful the very walls vibrated with the stuff, the miasma created sending my vision shimmering. I had not released that kind of chi in a while and I was shaking with the effort as I opened the door, know without asking who was on the other side.
He has always been content to leave me to my magicks, albeit discomfort I knew he sometimes felt though never showed. He knew my Power as the amulet I created stopped many a blade from slicing him in two, knew what I was capable of, so when he entered, he simply put his arms around me, soothing me into a calm as he always did when my ire was peaked.
It was nice.
For once.
Knowing that a Call was made and answered- no regrets, no strings, just someone to be there.
Someone to calm my rage before I Called the Morrigan to exact Her vengeance. She may yet still- Her Children are none to be toyed with.
So I fell asleep at last- safe in the arms of the one I knew would make me feel as such. Regardless of our past hurts, regardless of our past differences, this was here- this was now. We're both different people- I could tell that the minute he walked in as I knew he could with me.
He left his cap.
I wore it today.
He's always hated when I wear his caps.
*smiles wickedly*
