Zavien
The Cursed Daisies withered amongst the licking flames as Zavien watched. He covered his mouth with the same damp cloth from before but the fumes of despair and hopelessness still faintly reached him. Despite the urge to curl up and forget the world, he observed the burning in resolute silence until the last petal disintegrated to ash.
Zavien finally took a breath of fresh air and greeted the digging team with a welcome smile. "Thanks, Talyson! I couldn't have done it myself. I'm glad Hawthorn was with me. Otherwise, the entire field - and possibly more - would have burned." He laughed in good nature and grasped Hawthorn in a companionable side embrace. Although his muscles protested at the prospect of more work, Zavien was never one to quit a job before it was done and manual labor was therapeutic for him. Rolling up his sleeves, he said to Talyson, "Just point me where you need me, Sir!" The concept of the approaching finish line gave him a renewed energy that added a bounce to his step.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
