Caruso had been feeling a burning in his soul for a while now. Nothing he tried would douse that burning. As he matured, his skin began to darken, and look as though it were on fire. Many of those in the village whispered about his unknown parents, and what his destiny might be. Finally he could take it no longer and he did what any Ista would do in his situation....He had been traveling through the woods for two days now, in search of her shrine. As he went deeper, the trees got thicker, and the lighting grew dimmer. He was beginning to think he would never find the shrine, and was seriously considering turning back at next light if he didn't find it by sunset this day.
A few hours later, when he knew by instinct that the sun was beginning to set, he noticed in the distance, a strange sort of light. He knew the sun had already set below the treeline, so there should be no light like this so close to the forest floor. He hastened his steps, anxious to see where this light was emanating from, or what its origin might be. As he drew closer, it became apparent that the light was coming from a tree stump. Not any ordinary tree stump either, for this stump was bleached as white as snow, and in its upper branches, there sat a multi-faceted, multi-colored window of glass. He knew instantly that he had arrived at her shrine. The light he had seen was somehow shining out through the glass, but there was no evidence of a fire on the other side of it.
He approached slowly and reverently, kneeling down at the base of the stump. He reached into the bag on his hip and brought out the gift he would leave as an offering. Placing the small, wooden sculpture on the ground by the stump, he said.....
Dearest goddess of magic and arts, please hear my heartfelt prayer ... for I am at a loss. For years now I have had this burning in my heart, and in my whole body, and I cannot quell the flames. If I but knew what it meant, or for what purpose I was to use it, I believe I could live with it the rest of my life. But there is no one who can tell me. I was orphaned at a young age, and raised by strangers. There is no knowledge of who my parents were, or if this burning in my heart was inherited from them. Please goddess, I ask you for direction in my life.
He remained kneeling for the remainder of the night, not wanting to leave the sacred place. Hoping the goddess would give him an answer before he left.
[just so you know Blue, I won him in DK's event, and I had to give him an element. That element was fire.]
