SSWM: 555
Sanuye had to admit that the weather was actually feeling a but better than normal today. The wind wasn’t too high and the fire was helping to keep the temperature warmer. She had a smile on her face as she turned back towards the fire. She loved to feel the heat bouncing off her fur and sinking down to her skin. The coyote’s ears moved when she heard the male speak about her last name. She was a bit surprised to hear that he knew not only the language her last name was from, but also what its meaning was. She wondered if he spoke the language. That would really be the only reason he would know the meaning right? She shook her head gently before he responded to her comment about the wind. She had to agree that the weather could sometime be bitter, though that wasn’t the case today. The hybrid felt a little bad that the only thing the male was wearing was a scarf around his neck. She slipped her hands into her pocket as she turned around so her back was to the Great Fire. She could feel the heat of the flames on her tail. This would help to keep that area of her body warm whenever she decided to head for home and get some rest, that seemed to be really the only thing she could do now a days. She closed her eyes to let in the heat of the moment sink in. She was glad to be here warming up and sharing a conversation with another member of the tribe, especially one of the newer members.
Sanuye opened her eyes and smiled as J’adore asked about the Great Fire, though he asked for the story. As far as she knew there really wasn’t a story for the Great Fire. There was just a set of traditions that the tribe followed to satisfy the flames of this icon. She turned her silver gaze back on the fire as she began to speak. ”There really is no set story on the origin of the Great Fire, just sets of traditions that one must follow.” The coyote began to make a list of the traditions she wanted to mention in her head. There were so many, but she wanted to pick out the right ones to tell him so that he would begin to take his duties a bit more seriously. ”The Great Fire is the symbol of AniWayan dedication and spirituality, that is why it’s important that we never let the flames die down.” She paused because wanted to know his reaction seeing as he didn’t seem like much of the spiritual type, though it was important to be otherwise he might as well switch to a different task within the tribe. ”So long as there has been a Great Tribe, there has also been a Great Fire. When AniWaya branched off, they brought those traditions here, and all of them are important to maintain the Great Fire’s importance.” The hybrid was an original member of the Great Tribe and since her father was in the fire tendering tier, she knew the importance like it was second nature to her. She waited to see if he would have any other questions regarding the traditions of the Great Fire.
