With My Back to the Wind
We
were blown out into this troublesome world
when Graianne was but 10 years old.
Snowy had to "mother" her while
I sold my sword to gain us bread and shelter.
When our ship went down and the sea swallowed our old life
along with our parents..
but that is in the past.. and there it shall lie...
We have spent these 8 years gaining skills
to lift us from poverty
and the ordinary..
I took on the mantle of my father..
there has been little time for softness....
perhaps.. someday... I digress...
I was 16 when that ship went down,
taking my dreams of elegant gowns and dances;
of home and hearth to the cold depths with our fortunes and folk...
Now, it is within my reach..
to give that security for which I have so long yearned,
to these my sisters..
and at last..
to sit by the hearth in the evening and dream.
My sword arm is in its prime..
I practice and strive for excellence with each new sun..
for it is the key to that lingering hope.
We travelled with our backs to the wind..
being blown toward a safe harbor...
my sword the rudder, my heart the sails...

The Middle Sister
What is it they say about the middle child?
Invisible?
Works harder to be noticed... flamboyant?
Perhaps. Or mayhap, all of these and none
of them
Whatever else I am, I am not invisible.
If I happen to be a bit on the fashion conscious side, well,
who is to say that is a problem?
A girl wants to be at her most attractive no matter what she is doing..
or with whomever.
I work best when I am noticed and appreciated.
Ok.. so I am a little sensitive about it...
a girl wants to enjoy herself sometimes.
There is enough ugliness in life.
I just try to put back some beauty as I go along.
Middle sister... sure.. no problem... it
has its bonus sides.
When we three set out into the world,
Ayleta had to be tough just to keep us afloat
and I played at being motherly for Graianne,
but when it comes down to who is who....
it seems more and more that the three of us are one.
One in three....
Ayleta: strong, independent..
yeah like she doesn't have a jelly donut center....
Graianne: practical and perseverent..
confident of her wisdom and strength...
and me...
Oh.. I know, some think me fluff and giddy ....
they have not seen deeply enough ...
beauty can disguise and befuddle and lend an edge in unsuspected ways.
Yes, three but one...
we travel together to make a life for ourselves..
just let anyone think they can come between ...
One in Three.. Three in One... Aspects of The Goddess...
Look deeply, see the many facets and watch
for the sharp edges that cut;
the sparkle that blinds and the hardness that endures....
And be surprised at which of us is who...
Be quick.. lest you underestimate us all.
Graianne
I Am Iron
I
lack the cunning that drives Snowy, and my nature forbids killing but
in the direst need, though I know Ayleta plies the trade from necessity...
but I am of a pure metal. I have magic in my heart which crafts fine
weapons and armor. I have an inner eye which leads me to the best ores
and hold a wisdom others of my years may not have and, more importantly,
the will to use it. I have watched as my sisters struggled to make our
lives safe and good, and have determined to give back to them in full
measure.
I barely remember my father and mother
or the ship and the water. It is all a mighty dream.. which came repeatedly
to me over the years, until even now I dread to ride across the waters.
Yea.. even to cross a long bridge leaves me weak in the knees, though
I would never have it be known by them.
I watched as Ayleta sold her heart and
hardened her body
and soul to fight with that sword.
I watched as Snowy grasped at what beauty her poet soul could find as
they shared my raising.
Strong, beautiful they are, while I am blended into the shadows.
Oh.. I don't think myself ill formed, but I do lack the style and grace they share. Perhaps it is as they tell me, that I am just reaching my prime. In these ten years, I have grown more than even they realize. I am golden in more than my color, in more than my heart. I am forged by the hottest flames and golden in my touch..

They are still my "sisters" in heart.

I was a member of the guild.

Seer of the shard.

this roster as

ZeZhuanth Uss
ZeZhuanth Uss, the Ancient
One is my earned name. I was born in a distant, now darkened realm,
and yearning for light and companionship, I passed through realms
uncharted searching for the home my heart knew was there.. somewhere...
and at last, I passed through a cleft in the mountains, and saw before
me in the warm sunset....
Frostflower
I hearken from a land which
flowed with rivers of sunlight and ice. My heart sings with the melodies
of Wind and Water as weave my crafts and ply my bow. With my sister
have I come to this rich and varied land. We have found friends and
welcome after our long search.
I am content that we cast our lot here within these lands.
Fire Willow
We are Fire and Ice and we are
sisters.
My blood runs with the fire of the Earth and its rich harvests.
The very Air around me sings its' welcome when I walk through this
land.
We have at last come home.
No more will be wander the empty byways and dark recesses in search
of ...
we knew not what...
Ahhh but now we know and are filled with the life of it.
