They had been gathering herbs.
Wrapped in a world of their own delights and smiles, Onni and Lyhty were enjoying the sun above and the wonders of summer flowers. The previous summers here had not been as enjoyable, but under the low pressure, cool mountain airs high in the sky, as compared to the baking desert of her home, the shaman and her companion felt alive. Leaving with the excuse that she would be collecting the herbs for her healing studies, the Illuminant had traveled north to seek refuge from the week of endles sun which blessed her home in the least desirable way - melting heat.
Now, closer to the sun than she had been in a while, with the clouds dispersed only at the edges of the great peaks, the painted girl happily laughs. All her worries from the Endless night forgotten. All her troubles with Carnesir and the heavy words of Lace disappear. Simply basking in the glory of the sun with her eldest friend; it was a perfect summer day.
Then, in a sudden burst of ethereal flames, the sun seems to be falling directly from the sky. Immediately the white-washed face of the shaman raises in horror, only to be replaced with a joyous smile. Anxiety laces it momentarily as she remembers her absence from his altar. She had been praying quietly at the sunrise, but had not actually the guts to call upon him in months. Turning her crown to watch his graceful descent, Onni swallows her fears and her doubts. The God of the Sun was here; how could she truly view him as her new beloved mentor if she shied from his side now?
Replacing this nervous gleam with a bright smile, the shaman lopes toward the King of Light, her coat and skin reflecting a fraction of his glory. "
I missed you, father sun," the girl says simply, halting in front of him with concerned, sky eyes. "
Did you fare well through the winter?"
