Day 3 – 2112 – I am not finished with this scene so this will go up

Snip:

The Weather Man held up a hand, and went to one of the walls. He touched it and what looked like a drawer slid open, he dipped his hand into the drawer and when he lifted it out, he held a blue stone set in gold hanging from a thin gold chain. He handed it to Miranda. “That belonged to the mate of Sharuth, one of their last great leaders.”

“I can’t take this.” She stared at the stone. The Weather Man tipped her head up, meeting her eyes.

“Keep it, don’t wear it openly, consider it a good luck charm if you will. A hand-fasting gift from an old bavnan sorcerer. These people need something to hope for. Perhaps you can bring the life back into this old keep.”

“Weather Man,” Miranda tried to hand it back and he shook his head, closing her fingers around the amulet.

“I meant it. Keep it. She gave it to me, before Sharuth was killed and she took their remaining offspring into exile. And I’m giving it to you.”
