Of Juniper's heartbeats

Innovation sometimes only comes when one lets things go, so for her saying goodbye to something or someone meant actually creating space for new horizons. It was amazing how fast she had fallen in love with someone for the first time in her entire life, just as it was amazing how fast one can become a stranger again. She learned one thing for sure though. And that was that smiling at strangers might change a life, so being one again wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Who knows what would happen out there when she commenced the journey she had initiated almost two years ago? Filled with intentions and purpose she had hit the road back then, or rather the sea, and she had marvelled at the passing landscapes of that big, wide world. She also truly believed that none of her intentions were beyond Gond's sight, and she was convinced that the Wonderbringer would guide her, just like he guided her hands when working.
To her sister Pixel, Freya, Lady Natanya and Lord Darius, she had left a letter.
The two leaders she thanked for the opportunities and the privilege of working together and using their facilities. She explained them that she would be gone for probably a few months, intending to discover more of the coast, perhaps even Waterdeep.
Her sister and her only close friend Freya, she thanked for the color they brought to her world every single day. She told them not to worry because lives are like wheels and springs rolling into one glorious mess, and thus their separation could only be temporary. She explained them she needed to "stretch her wings", and promised they would see each other again.
When she stood on the sterncastle deck of the ship, and watched how Baldur's Gate grew smaller and smaller, she fought the urge to get down on her knees, and beg the captain to turn his ship around, telling him... her life had a meaning here after all.
Instead, she wished them all well with a soft voice...
