Saiden made his way up the steps of the Aumakua slowly. Although he’d made this trek many times, this time his steps were slower than usual, more somber. Still, there were a finite number of stairs, and he eventually pushed the door at the top of the lighthouse open.
Walking towards the shrine there, he slipped a hand into his pocket. Dressed only in a pair of shorts, with a sword at his hip, he took out the moonstone and opal necklace that he'd acquired as a gift for the goddess of stars. Laying it on the altar, he knelt before it.
"Safrin, I bring this offering to you in the hopes that you would hear my prayer. I was told that my sister, Vanya, is a star in your realm. All I ask is that you pass along the message to her that I will look up at your night sky and think of her." He swallowed. "And that I miss her."
