[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 1357124, member: 761"] [b]Irohim - Volor Gnomes - Isle of Quam[/b] Irohim perfectly understands his people's fear of abandoning Quam, but he can see far away across the sea, to the new experiences that wait for them. There is no hurry though, the hour is not come. When the tribe will be larger, and the youngster will be overcome with curiosity, he'll be there to guide them. But it's not the time yet, and Quam is still the Volor's whole world. Not for Angariful, though, for his Time of Passage has come. The starchild climb down from the sky and once again walks the soil of Quam, but this time he is invisible to the Volor's eyes, his shape completely transparent, for the Time of Passage is a private thing. He walks to where his body is lying, surrounded by his family, and hears his soul calling at him, longing for release. Irohim touches his hand, guiding his spirit to light and freedom, and as the gnomes leaves his mortal body behind, emerging as a clear soul with a single bright star in the chest, the godling takes his hand and lifts him up into the sky. Irohim bring Angariful's spirit to a star, that blossoms like a flower as they approach, welcoming them, revealing a place within, a place made by Angariful's dreams, where he can live happy. There are also three things that didn't came from the gnome's imagination: a pool of incredibly limpid water, where they can see Quam, far below, but if only they will it, the vision becomes clearer, and the Elder can clearly see his family, weeping for him; then a vase, full of shining white petals, and Irohim, still holding his hand, shows him how he can use them to help his family and friends should they ever need it, pouring some of them on the pool; and finally an altar, white as a pearl, and a candid fire burning upon it. Never leaving his hand, Irohim explains the elder he's have to play every day a flute made of a shell, to keep the fire alive, for that is the warm heart of the star, that would perish and be swallowed into the darkness without it. He also shows him that whenever he will feel ready to return to Quam, he'll only have to dive into the pool, and he will be born again. He shows how every star in the sky is the home of a Volo that has yet to be born, and that many others are waiting for their turn to shine, till the end of times, when all the sky will be full of stars, the darkness will cease to exist, and all the Volor will live in the place of dreams. Then Irohim lets his hand go, leaving him into his star, his new home, and returns to his family, this time visible and filled with a great light. He invites them to touch him, and when they do, they can feel right what Angariful felt, and how he still loves them and lives in peace watching above them, until the light within him fades, and Irohim fades from their sight as well.
