Essetia & Romul
The tinkling sound of bells echoed across Helovia in waves of merriment and cheer. It had been a year since I’d last heard them and a year since I’d followed the chords to the giant turtle at their origin. A wide smile parted my lips and I nudged Romul, who had been sleeping at my side, and we departed from the Throat at a breakneck pace. We chased one another along the sands for a time and nearly collided into one another when we’d reached the mote that circled our desert home. After we had made it away from the Throat, we slowed, and the anticipation began to build. Even though the tune of the song that wafted across the land was a happy one, I still feared the many faces that would be gathered around the great tree I’d seen the first time I’d witnessed the great tortoise. Who would be among them and who would be there to greet me? I hoped for friends and companionship and not the ill tides of enemies or false relationships.
When at last we arrived at the tree, I was again mesmerized by the floating bells and the wizened turtle perched beneath them. I stared longingly at the snow-kissed tree and again reveled in the sight of so many equines, unicorns, Pegasus, and everything in between. We had gathered in celebration and I knew that we would all set aside our quarrels now… even if they resumed after the grand holiday season had passed. “Thank you…” I whispered to the great tortoise after I’d passed across the bridge. “Thank you so much.”
[Merry Christmas everyone & Thank you!]
