an old friend to the glade

[Wilkens]

::wilkens walks to the waters an sits down and stares into the waters and starts to talk ::

" i have wandered far an wide to meet alot friends an foes
i miss those who have been slain or have left on their own travels
i come in a circle back to these waters to cry my tears so they go to another part of the world.
i wonder if i will ever meet the friends i have met again.

i wonder how the handsome bard eli is doing, or his little friend nobel.

then there is the fiendish Miss Nikki, i wonder what evil plan she is doing now.

oh and then theirs the oh so great hunter, keyra, i wonder if she has come to terms with her condition.

and phelan, i wonder how he and his family are doing.

and gaien, what is he up to lately

i should try and find all the people i have met, and see how they are doing.

i know there are a few that i am missing but my mind is such a jumble right now.

i think i will stay here for awhile and watch the waters, maybe that will help me settle down some.

i know that i was supposed to be heading somewhere but to where i am not sure.

i wonder if .....

[Wilkens]

.... there has been much change in the world since i have left.

how many lives have changed, how many friends have gone on their own travels.

i know i should go an look for them all, go back to the life i once knew.

but for now, i need to sit here and rest. my life is such a shambles right now.

i only hope they are all doing well.

:: as wilkens is sitting there watching the waters run past she realizes she doesnt hear the birds singing, nor can she see the colours of the flowers.

it seems like the glade is in darkness as if the clouds have come an covered the sun.

she looks around her and doesnt see the beauty that the glade once held.

she sighs an goes back to watching the waters run by again.

and thinks to herself, one day the birds will sing, the sun will come out and the colours will come back. :::

:: as she watches the waters go by she falls asleep at the edge of the water.

somewhere in the night her sleep goes deep, she sees a glade with all her friends that she has made in the times of her travels.

she sees their sad faces an she realizes that she is crying as they get farther and farther away.

a wolf comes to her body and sits down beside her, sniffs her then raises his head an starts a mournful howl ::
