Role

Chapter 2

My father and mother were loving and caring parents. They taught me to live
and survive but more than that they taught me to listen to the very earth and
waters we tread upon. Being rangers of the sea they felt a bond that many do
not, they would tell me of their dreams some times where they would hear a
womans voice calling to them from the wilds. They told me that the voice
would guide all who listened to live free and in harmony with all tied to
her. I loved them so and willed every night to dream of the womans voice..
but she would never call to me. As I grew older my father and mother taught
me techniques of battle, how to defend myself and those that could not defend
themselves. They taught me the skills of the sword and the shield both to
strike true and hard and protect my vulnerable areas. I tried to learn the
techniques of tracking and trapping but they never seemed to be within my
reach. I would weave nets but they would always snap when a fish swam into
them. Yet my parents were never distraught they loved me so much and always
encouraged me to seek out my own path I did not have to walk in their
footsteps but rather make my own. They would speak of destiny and the path we
all choose.. they would tell of how they met and how the womans voice guided
them to each other. I would listen very intently always hoping that I may
hear her voice some time.. every time I would speak of it with my parents
they would just say that I must be patient and that I will hear her when she
feels I need guidance. My parents taught me much of the woman whom many
called the Lady of the Summer Storms. She guides those pure of heart and free
of spirit.
