Into the Gloming
by Wynelda Ann Deaver

Head towards the gloaming, young warrior. Pay no attention to those who claim prophesy or sing hymns.

.

They speak of the glory of being the Change Bearer. Of the bravery to challenge the moon itself. They forget, if they ever even knew. Change comes hard. It will distort the very fabric of who you are with large brush strokes. What you see will shift and change as nightmares come out to play.

.

Hold still.

Hold fast.

.

You are our first and last defense against the coming storm. Even as the change cracks you open, as your nightmares flatten your soul, hold fast. Hold still.

Though you stand alone the very mountains celebrate your arrival. They will shelter you through the avalanche as surely as the moon will light the path. Away from the nightmares. Away from the darkness.

.

Head towards the gloaming. Only by going through it can you be kissed by the Moon.
