Silent Rain

Of Oaths and Familiar Faces July 14, 2010

It seems Felwynd is staying in Stormwind as well.  He strikes me as even less comfortable there than I am.  I think he is there searching for something.  Perhaps he lost something in the canals?  Still, seeing him provided another familiar face and a bit of home in those walls, though I do not know him too well.  While he is one of the sylvadorei, he is one I am not well acquainted with.  My father knows him better, they met on a fishing trip.  Father occasionally brought Felwynd back with him to share a meal.  I think he still hasn’t accepted the requirements placed on me by the temple and perhaps he was hoping something might come of such family visits with his younger fishing friend.  I appear to be the only one in my family who has accepted the oaths forced upon me.

Of course, I think Kalshen is relieved about the oath forbidding my use of Elune’s shadow.  I doubt he is really aware of how relieved I am about it as well.  The shadow reminds me of darker times and experiences I’d rather not revisit.  Elune’s light, the warmth of that life-giving glow is where my heart truly lies anyway.

As for the other oath…I find it really bothers me very little.  Father insists it the temple is wrong to deny me love and family.  I’m just grateful they saved me, then let me live.  Is it wrong to not miss your mother?
