I have no words... Today, I saw death. Someone I knew, someone I admired, died. Stopped being. And was risen. By the boon of a great celestial stag. A being of Divine power. Working through me. I am not sure if I am afraid, or awestruck, or simply lost. I do not feel worthy of such gifts, and I am not sure if any should be worthy. I am eternally grateful that Never has been returned to us and may continue her journey with us. But is it right that we have denied fate in such a way? Is it her flame burning so bright that great task of her life was so incomplete that she was given further opportunity to complete her life's mission? Or have we sidestepped the will of the Everburning? Today, I truly understand the teaching of the Light a little better and truly feel the surrounding Darkness creeping in. I hope, nay I pray that I am up to the task of pushing it back and being a Beacon in the Night. For now, I will pray and express my gratitude that my friend is here and not given to the Darkness. For there is enough Death around us. Hopefully I am enough Light in the Dark to preserve them.
