RoleChapter 4 Padwei and Changing Goals Added Sun Oct 7 08:36:58 2012 at level 35:To my frustration and dismay, my communions with Lady Padwei had taken a turn for the misunderstanding. Undoubtedly she had been using all of her godly powers to try and make me understand her point, but to little effect. Yes, the seasons change. Yes, they have differences between them. My goal, however, does not:
I am the stick. I am the one who stands fast against the storms of darkness that threaten to destroy Thera. Though I cannot hold them back myself any more than a sapling can halt the wind, I can be that resilient example to the Fortress that the stick was for me all those years ago.
The goal, though noble, was all-encompassing. Lady Padwei sought to show me that there was more to life than the war. After our conversation, I sought out the Sunwarden Dreatide, her highest priest. He, too, sought to convince me of the beauty of each individual season. Only after deep reflection did their words sink in.
Each season has its unique characteristics. Most are overt such as the temperature, yet many are subtle and only noticeable to those who take the time to immerse themselves in the natural world. Take for example the cherry tree:
Light from cold darkness New stars grace the heavens Three budding blossoms
Life-giving treasure Crimson orbs swollen with blood Three ripened cherries
Cloth of yellow gold Aimless sails on azure seas Three falling leaves
Skeletal fingers Rigid 'neath a white death shroud Three barren branches
The cherry tree's goal remains unchanged. It is there to live and grow. Throughout each season, however, the manifestation of that goal is different.
What I need to do is to hunt evil as a True Maran should. That will always be my goal. Yet in doing so, I must remain ever vigilant to what goes on around me and within me. Perhaps to talk about the changes of the seasons to others will help me remain focused on earning the Lady's mark.
