Beauty In The Smallest Petal

Spring is slow to return to the lands of Boreas and, as the snows lifted, rains had quickly settled in their place. The cold lingered and Eulogy had holed up in the den that she has been allowed to use in Ashen. Her arthritis had been made worse by the chilly, wet days and, by the time the sun started to peek out from the stormy clouds, the older wolf was certain she would never leave the den again. However, the sun did come back, and the call of the warm rays were too much to ignore. Gradually, the older woman had emerged, stretching her sore joints for short periods of time. Ah, but it was worth it all just to be in Ashen with Void and his family.

Today, the sun shines brightly in the heavenly firmament, its slow trek across the cloud streaked sky having not yet having reached the bright orbs zenith. Eulogy slowly makes her way through the grassy land that borders Ashen, her escort a kind, fiery pelted youth, who had agreed to help the older woman with a task. Since the sun had emerged, the older wolf had started taking walks out this way and the lovely aroma of lavender had caught her interest. Her leather satchel is slung around her neck and a clay pot, wrapped carefully in leather, is hidden within the dark interior. Leading the way, Eulogy steers the pair to where a huge patch of lavender blooms under the spring sun.

Their scent is intoxicating and Eulogy pauses to close her eyes and inhale the sweet perfume. The plant is known to have great medicinal purposes and, as she directs Kitsune toward a small cluster, the older woman says, “Well, what do you think? We can transplant this small patch to the shrine and cultivate our own supply of lavender for future years.” Lips pull upward as she offers Kitsune a warm smile before Eulogy turns her eyes back to the beautiful plant. She admires the tall, green stalks that end in bulbous nodes. Lavender colored petals bloom on them, opening to offering their aroma to the world and a content sigh escapes from the older woman.
