As we saw, oh, this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Ashlyn knelt down by the pool of a small spring. Pulling a cork from a hand sized bottle she filled its clear glass with the cool water. The spring’s water had properties in it that allowed for faster healing, and stronger growth. She was careful with the liquid and only took what she needed. That was always a good lesson that her tutor had taught her. “Never take more then you need, as soon you will need more and have none.” She smiled thinking back to her afternoons spent in the Royal garden, notebook in hand writing down whatever he said and sketching pictures for future use. She never thought that notebook would come in such handy, though she was happy that it had manage to be one of the items saved from her room.
She rose and placed the vial in her satchel. It was almost time for her to return and complete her morning chore before making lunch. She wondered through the forest back to the main trade road. He brother always warned her not to stay too far from home and road. Even though the Blaze road seemed more of a danger then it had years ago. Bandits and those wanting harm were more common than ever and Ashlyn, not knowing much of defending herself, was more weary than ever. With this walk she preoccupied her mind and focused on things needing done and prepared. There was the immediate, like chores, and the future like: drying medicinal herbs for the winter, preparing more tonics for her brother, and pain relievers for the elderly and pregnant in the village. Ashlyn was busy, though enjoyed her fast paced life.
So consumed with thought she did not realized she was not alone on the road anymore. A wagon was slowly turning the bend she had just come from. The elderly man driving it was a familiar, and would do trade with Killlian and herself. Also the young girl, his granddaughter, was pleasant to visit with and gossip.
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag,
≫Every teardrop is a waterfall ≪
