Ashamin
The outside was a cold greeting, but not an unfamiliar one. Ashamin found his eyes shut instantly by the force of the wind--his hair whipped and his tail, light and airy, was lifted in a second from where it dragged on the permafrost. Sparks fluttered in the air with its motion, dancing around the flying flakes and creating anomalous images of magic where it didn't belong and didn't exist.
Overhead, the sky was a bright painting. He could barely make it out, but they were there and dotted with belts of stars. He was a Haruspex now, and from what he had gathered that meant he had to be wise, and do wise things. What was wiser than reading the stars?
The haruspex glanced back, seeing his companion standing at the cave entrance. He tried to call out to Mortuus, beckon him forth with a neigh, but his voice was lost to the same wind and carried off into the distance. Someone else would hear that greeting, someone else would try and heed that call to "Come, the stars can tell us of your path!"
His mind was absent as he thought back to his childhood, and nights of looking upwards at his father's side. Veril would point out all the many dots of light, smiling at each as if they carried a memory for him. What do they mean, father? Ashamin had always asked, even long after knowing the answer.
I don't know, Veril always said. Your mother used to read them to me, every night.
Now it was Ashamin's turn to read those stars. He threw back his head, letting the merciless cold strike him where he stood, and gaze up. There was a sign to come, and one he would heed with all the respect he could muster.
Will you remember the one
who died so I could live?
I tell you this:
she exhaled a life
and I inhaled that death.
I will make good
on that promise.
