With permission granted, Sparhawk set to work on his surprise for Poem. He traveled to the cave where they first met and collected the blue clay that had essentially brought them together. After that, he went to the thicket where he'd revealed his past to her and snapped off a piece of briar bush. The redwood man took a piece of the charcoal from their fire that had been covered in grass. He had everything that he needed.

In a secluded part of the territory, Sparhawk built a massive fire. As the flames consumed the wood within, he worked the blue clay. Into the clay he combined the ground up charcoal from his and Poems fire, forming swirls of grey and black within the stark blue clay. He molded the earthen substance into one decent sized pot. Before placing it in the fire, Sparhawk took the briars from the thicket and shaped them into a heart. He gently pushed this heart into one side of the pot, then carefully placed it in the fire to harden and set.

He stayed away from Poem that night, but the following morning, all of his efforts were rewarded. Taking the warm pot from the long dead fire, he inspected his work. It wasn't the prettiest pot, but it was made with love. Sparhawk cleaned both the pot and himself, then sent word with one of the pups to have Poem meet him at the lake of fireflies that night. Packing up everything that he needed, Sparhawk set out for the lake to prepare the surprise for Poem. He hoped she wouldn't be too mad about his absence the night before. It would all be worth it.
