The Keepers of Gaia's Love


The Story Continues...



I awoke to find myself lying on the bosom of the Mother, in fairly good condition with all my belongings. Movement near me showed that I wasn't alone. I wasn't at all certain how I had gotten to this place, but a few of the children had come with me. We were in the Umbra and it's beauty washed over me. I knew we were in a place relativly free of the influence of the Wyrm or Weaver.

A tall girl was sitting on the ground with a look of quiet terror on her face. She glanced up at me and I was struck by her beauty and the strength in her young eyes.

Another female in lupus form was stalking stiffly around in small circles, looking as if she wanted a Wyrmling to bite on.

The last of our party was the young boy who had howled to begin the Rite of Caern Opening. He appeared to be very calm and looked up at me in an expectant way when I stood.

There were papers scattered on the ground. I picked them up and discovered that they were pages from the Silver Log....the Litany pages. I gathered them all together and tucked them into my robe. A soft nicker behind me caused me to turn, drawing Wyrmbane.

The great, beautiful Unicorn totem looked at me with soft liquid eyes and spoke to me in my mind.


Care for these pages, child. Rejoin them to the other pages and use them to re-open the Caern. The pages were purposly scattered by me and my brother and sister totems so that the minions of the Wyrm would not touch them.

She tossed her head and snorted.

They are safe, for now, but, you MUST find a way to gather them together again and reopen the Caern.


She nudged me gently with her beautiful head, turned briskly and disappeared.
