HoGW Special: The Free Ones
🕑 Added 2016-12-25 10:42:53 +0000 UTCFalling leaves
Slipping loose,
Free from their moorings
Free from their allotted roles
Free from their bindings
From the structured order
That rigid frame
That suffocating mold
That rules our lives, our fates
I envy those falling leaves
So bold and so brave
They break loose, break free
Leap out of their assigned slots
What courage it must take
To abandon all you know
All you have
To leave you pace as one of many
To lose your place as one of the multitude
All for the chance to glide
To fly. To float.
Free from all that tie them down.
From the mouth of Kuganuhe “Mountain Breaker”, Second head of the Earthen Spire School to her apprentice Zortta “The overeager” during a lesson on freedom, duty and strength one unknown autumn day. Unfortunately, Zortta misconstrued the point his teacher was attempting to make and begun to argue that it was the tree that served ties with the leaves to conserve its vitality and prepare for newer better growth. It was Zortta’s actions on this day as well as his stubborn refusal to repent for his actions that caused his master to downgrade his standing and choose a new heir. It is also, many historians argue, the true start of the divide that would lead to the splitting of the revered tellurian sect.
