Prompt: Envoy

Always so nice, this one is!

Eisha found the sylphs fascinating, growing more fond of them the longer she spent in Little Solace. It didn’t take long for them to adore her, too, after she learned what it was each one was enjoyed. Some liked dances, for others it was rhymes.

Noraxia was fond flowers. Bright blues, vibrant reds— each of them meaning a secret thing to the little Sylph, things she shared each time Eisha returned to the Waking Sands. Yellow was like sunshine, honey-sweet and leaving you full of joy. Red so rich it made you dizzy, like the berries brought to Hawthorne Hut in exchange for milkroot. With every small telling of secrets, she began to sense that Noraxia missed her people, her home, and the flowers made her happy.

So she vowed to keep bringing the flowers, a small comfort, every time she returned.

Even the day where she had been too late, the day they turned out to be most needed. As she held the little Slyph close, she gave her a flower of pale blue.

Blue like the sky, and to remind this one of brave walking one. Favorite one.

She carried the little Sylph to the cart, placed her gently amongst the others. She stood solemnly in the distance as they performed funeral rites, not daring to get any closer unless the guilt bury her further.

Noraxia had wanted to be just like her, an envoy of peace for the world. Helping others, halting darkness— all things brave, yet kind.

As much as the grief aimed to wound her; she kept going forward, carrying Noraxia’s dream with her.
