The Exile
The Exile
“"This place is hellish, dwarf." Ukko had, of course, lied through his teeth. He had no idea where they were, that much was painfully evident.
"I know, I know. It wasn't as if we had a choice though, your warpishness." "I don't like it." He didn't say what he didn't like, because it was painfully obvious that the land around them had turned sour. He hadn't felt the presence of the Earth Mother in a full three months of wandering. He didn't like it at all. Danu had always been with him. He felt a...s if he was abandoning her, although a nagging voice at the back of his mind kept goading him on quietly, insisting that he was wrong, that it was the other way around, that she had left him... like all of the women in his life had.
The choice to turn south had not been an easy one to make.
The Land of the Young had always been his home. Leaving it behind just felt wrong and the wrongness of that decision was making itself apparent in every withered tree and parched meadow. Salt bubbled up from below ground, the earth itself rancid as if nature had become a plague, a pox on the Goddess's body.MoreLess
