random event
It is noted, the two lone strangers who do not bend the knee, but nothing is remarked upon for now. Sylvan wings aflutter on her shoulders, the Naiad stands within the litter - and for a moment you can see the nerves, the trepidation, the uncertainty of change. But only for a moment, before it soothes back into the serene expectation that comes with fulfilling one's duty.
Silence in the night. The world holds its breath - and she steps, delicate as a snowflake on the ground, down onto the soft sands.
Still, the Fae give no reaction - not as she faces the river, not as the will-o-wisps surge and gather about her, shielding her in a halo of light. No, it is only when she steps onto the water (illusion? flight? magic?) that they break their silence. There she twists and moves, the water responding to her rhythm in a dance that is pure and wild. And the Stonesong sings for her, truly, a haunting melody of rock and water, and the Fae erupt into cheers.
There is a great deal of splashing and clamouring as they join the Naiad in the river to celebrate, even as the litter is borne away again. There will be a new Naiad, but this dance is for the past.
Jump into the Stonesong to celebrate! Again... or don't. ;D You have 24 hours to respond.
