The afternoon had come and gone, passed through training and contemplation. Returning from the Wilderness, the Nomad Shepard and her vulture companion conversed as they traveled, pausing only to take note of the west setting sun.
The Issor pointed to the glowing body and made a sound for her companion to understand. Bright, warm, glowing and strong. Warm...she repeated these words in a tune he would comprehend and encouraged that he mirror them in a way her ears would understand.
