[SWE] Capturing the Sun

Safrin "What is this?" Safrin's voice is cool and crisp, dynamic and projected loud as if she were on a stage. As if this was a play they had all come to witness, and Safrin its lead actress. And in a way, that was precisely what it was. "Where has my sun gone? It is one of my favourite stars, and oh!" She continued theatrically, appearing among the trees larger than life. The boughs and crowns of the forest swayed away from the goddess as she stood just as tall as they were, a smile on her ever-radiant features. "Your baskets! Do I detect traces of my sun? Have you been hiding it away from me? And your songs! Your rhymes and poems and gifts, all trickery! Why my darling ones, how could you!" She continued, a hand to her forehead as she meditated on the trickier of all those around her. Spinning about, her skirts sending a starwave of light scattering around her, she turned as if to meet every single eye in the crowd, her body growing smaller and smaller until she was vaguely human-sized once again. Her eyes sparkled with laughter, her perfectly painted lips an adoring grin. "No more! I have caught on to your ways and my eyes shall be blinded no more. Let there be light!" And so it was that the first rays of the morning peeped from behind the towering trees, the sky becoming a warm and milky aubergine. "But do not go away empty handed my loves. Share with your brothers and sisters the trinkets you have brought. Fill your baskets, but leave the sun to me."
