The winter wind brought with it an entity with no face and no name, but a gift for its guest. It ghosted along the snowdrifts and spirited between tall trees, all the while humming a gentle melody that was dissonant at times. For the new Haruspex, the Watcher had designed a most beautiful trinket and one crafted with his patron God in mind. However, this was a grand event –what a wonderful night!- and there would be much to celebrate, so the Watcher was mindful of the time. The darkness was the only element that allowed him sight and when the sun went away with his blindness, the Watcher made sure to arrive before the festivities began.

When the wind began to howl and spit, the Watcher gusted into the small cavern that housed his special guest. Still he hummed, more softly now, as he stared with no eyes at the small and curious Cerndyr just born from the twilight itself. The Watcher was amazed by such a delightful little creature and he clapped and raved while holding out the coil he’d made so long ago. It bobbed against the slight draft that pressed into the cave and the Watcher twirled and danced just behind it. He was a distorted image of nothing in particular, his shape ever-changing, but his message was clear: the Tesla Coil was a present just for the reader of the mirror.

At last he laid the coil beside the newborn Cerndyr, his tune slowing momentarily to congratulate the tiny babe, and he ghosted about the cave in child-like merriment. Soon the Haruspex would welcome his friends and the Watcher would greet them with his songs before retiring into the night where one without anything belonged.
