RE: Face to the Sun [Solace & Svedka Birth] - Jah-Lilah - 07-28-2017

Jah-Lilah

She reminds me of you...


She was called to the land of volcano by an unseen force, and she listened, as she had many times before. She knew the feeling, the jolt to her heart, the circle is moving. An old man dies, a young girl lives. The Earth-Mother pointed her this way, and so she heeded. So far she had been undisturbed as she moved through the lands of Beqanna just like the wild wind does. None have stopped her, tried to capture her, try to harass her. This is the way she likes it. She hears a far off cry as she nears the Tephra border, and can smell sweat and mucous even from this far away. Then the scent of Spotted-Seer fills her nostrils, and she knows the twins are coming.

She picks up the pace, she had a special place in her heart for the pied girl, and she would be beside herself should anything happen to her during the birthing ritual. She tracks the mare deep into the heart of a coconut hideaway, and stops short of entering into the area. It is not her way to interfere, she will only step in if needed. She channels the Earth-Mother, and in her concentration sparks of electricity crackle beneath the surface of her skin. Jah-Lilah is still getting used to her newly granted talents. She carries in her mouth two feathers, one from a hawk, red and black, symbolizing strength and speed. The other feather comes from a heron, he gave it to her for wisdom and balance. She's brought them as offerings and gifts for the new babies. She is stone still and silent, watching the pair of parents as they share this moment of wonder, their fear and anxiety hanging heavy in the air. She says a quiet prayer to the Earth-Mother to give them peace and serenity in this tense moment.

She sighs and is breathless, as she is at every birth, as the beautiful girl pushes out the first, then the second of her children. A tear comes to her eye, if only Spotted-Seer's mother could be here. She shakes it off, smiling to herself. The Pegasus male is instantly there, his eyes of blue look as though they could chill to the bone. He is attentive and vulnerable, and Jah instantly likes him. He was concerned, but not pushy with Tangerine, and this satisfies Jah-Lilah. The midwife cocks a lazy hind leg and silently watches the scene, heart fit to burst with pride.


...in the heart of the night.
