It has been almost a year. Tomorrow I turn 15. You are wondering what has happened? Well I have been training to serve the Valedale clan as a servant. I know how to prepare cauldron and how to collect the tears of Aideen without spoiling them. I also know how to cook and clean. Today all the Overs leave for the clans and say goodbye to to Unders who will stay at the Fort forever. There are 6 of us going to Valedale and we are all given brown full length tunics.
The last time I traveled away from Fort Pinta I went West to the Wood, this time we are going North to Valedale. I can feel it getting colder as we go up Northi and the six of us have hugged together. We arrived, nursing frozen fingers, to the preparations for Greetings day. Most of the clans children will become full members of the clans tomorrow and will be able to work and marry. We can’t. I sit there, fiddling with my tunic whilst everyone else is given jobs to do. “You, girl, collect the rune wands from the stone circle. it’s up the hill,” a tall man cried. I found the hill and I found the wands, they were hidden under the rocks as we were taught they would be. I carried them down, careful to keep them in their velvet and resting on my arms: wouldn’t want them to snap. I stopped. I couldn’t resist it, could I? Waving a wand in front of a rune stone could tell if you had the talent. Not many do and so the Valedale clan have the most failures of people who shouldn’t have joined. It is myth that Aideen visits the right people in their dreams, but the only time I have dreamt about Aideen was in a nightmare. I pick a long one, a beginners wand. I carefully wave it around. Nothing. And then light. It hurts my eyes and it’s everywhere. Two people are already at the top of the hill. “What are you doing?” one yells while the other grabs me. “Calm down Faro, she’s new.” “In the name of Jor Avalon, the rune is lit up. Fripp needs to know.” “Who are you?” Avalon asks calmly, “I don’t mean your number, I want your real name.” “Cythia, servant of Valedale, ex member of Jarlaheim,” I trembled. Faro starred, “Cyth?” “Faro do you know her?” Faro was as white as a sheet and whispered something that involved “sister”. “And that would explain the rune wouldn’t it? We should tell Fripp but we told her to do it. I know siblings like getting each other in trouble but using a rune wand can result in serious consequences.” We walked up to the portal and fell through. It has to explain but it felt like time and space were changing and squeezing and then letting go, before taking the iron grip again. Then we arrived.
