The grizzled hair above Fesneeth’s central eyes lifted and the ancient Went’s coat began to move in stately patterns …
“Thus the song came to us from Shaartuhn Stargazer and Enzo Grassmover when they joined together in the place of foretelling to touch the darkened skies. They told of a time when the Circle would be broken. An empty time when the old purpose would fail and the Circle of Mothers would come to nothing. When the Heart cries out in loneliness and knows not what to do …
The time of the broken Circle will come.
When the Circle of Winds will sniff in vain
And the Circle of Skies turns on emptiness
Weep for the purpose betrayed.
They will wait in the dark to mend what is take,
Blue of sky, gold of sun, white of dark in dark of night
Sing the rise of the purpose reborn.
We will trust the Circle to find its ends.”
