The Priestess' Departure
Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2012 9:20 am
A gentle breeze blew against the elven female's tanned cheeks. Within the distance, the dawn's light would filter through the trees, creating an ambiance of peace. Her footsteps would take her to the Triune statues. Her gentle hands cupped themselves together as she lowered her head in respect. This may be the final time she would stand before these statues that she came to hold dear to her heart for a long period... perhaps even forever.
"Protect them from harm," she would whisper softly in prayer, "so that they may prosper forever in His shining light."
Silias' eyes had dampened thereafter. As she stood before the statues, multiple streams of tears would rush along her now-rose shaded cheeks.
"How is it one leaves a homeland that is held so dear within their hearts?" she would contemplate. It was all but apparent that her love for the settlement that had housed her for the period of her stay -- albeit only a single year and but a few months -- had grown within her heart. She would remain tearful beyond the statue until the sun rose, and the citizens of Doron Amar would awaken once more.
The priestess stood in front of those that she would ask to gather beyond the Tower's steps. It was not in her nature to gather crowds with no warning beforehand, yet it seemed necessary. Her soft, serene and gentle voice would speak out to those that would gather. Her sapphire attire had now shone as the sun's radiance would reflect upon it. A beautiful sight, indeed.
"It would seem to every journey lay its end. A priestess' duties often lead her to where she is needed. Since my true arrival within this settlement had been formalised, and until now, I truly value those who I have come to know -- and those that I would call my brothers and sisters. My duties are primarily to my kin. Each and every one of those within this settlement has developed in multiple manners since I had first known them. A wonderful grace befalls each of you. It is truly unfortunate that I must announce my departure from the settlement of Doron Amar. My family, of house Ry'ena, is now in need of me within the land of Evermeet. In light of my mother's passing, I must attempt to fill her duties, as she was truly a magnificent priestess, in which I would gaze in wonder upon her. It would be my dream to aspire to, one day, attain even a fraction of her beauty, her wisdom and her might as a priestess.
I worry not of the settlement's future, as I am, indeed, sure it is a bright, gracious one. As it is apparent: there are many within here that may succeed me, in truth. It has been wonderful to have the privilege to attain a seat on the Council within this settlement. It is a duty I had come to love and hold dear. I now pass on my duties for the settlement to another. It will be my trust that the citizens find another to lead in my stead.
My departure is imminent, unfortunately, for I must return immediately to attend my mother's burial. If there are any matters any would wish to speak of, whether privately or publicly, there are but few hours remaining in regards to my presence here. Let your voices be heard, now and forever.
And fare thee well, my beloved family. If my duties permit my visiting, then hold sure to the fact I would cherish such within my heart," the priestess concluded in a strong, yet gentle tone.
The priestess of Corellon would listen to any that would wish to speak to her whilst she stands upon the Tower's radiant steps, prior to descending.
"Protect them from harm," she would whisper softly in prayer, "so that they may prosper forever in His shining light."
