Ariadne kneels beside a tall rowan tree, seemingly speaking to the air. "What I mean to ask, Lady, is 'why?'" She bows her head, and when she next speaks, her voice is filled with sorrow. "We all fight and fight, and it never seems to make any difference. Why do we have to die, for a cause we don't understand, and in a way that doesn't do much good?" She sighs. "If you ever see fit to give me a sign, Lady, I would really appreciate it." She moves from her kneeling position to sit cross-legged with her back against the tree, and contemplates her situation.

A stick cracks loudly as someone walks through the woods behind you.

Immediately Ariadne is on her feet, with her ever-present KA-BAR in hand. She stands half-crouched, ready to fight or flee.

There is also the not so subtle sound of Sam approaching as he wanders around the Sept, learning where things are.

A very old Indian walks towards you. He is wearing a flannel shirt over a buckskin leather one, long grey/black braids hang out from under a black bowler that sits on top of his overly wrinkled face. Jeans and hiking boots round out his face, in one hand he carries a large, knotted walking stick with trinkets bound to it, his other hand is gone.

He stops as you spin around, an easy smile on his face, his breathing is slightly labored.

"Morning young one," he says.

Ariadne's stance relaxes, she stands up straighter and lowers her knife. "Good morning...I don't believe we've met."

"Lots of new faces now that the Caern is open. I'm Shadow Wind, call me Shadow, or Grandfather."

Ariadne sheaths her knife entirely, snapping closed the restraint across the hilt. She then extends her hand for a shake. "I'm Ariadne Fletcher, homid, Strider, galliard, and cliath." She grins. "It's a mouthful."

***Madhatterr*** · 06-06-2010, 11:00 PM

Shadow nods.

"Theurge, Uktena, Adren, Homid," he says almost dismissively. "So what is this, you lose the point of the fight? You wonder why we do when all that happens is we die?"

Ariadne frowns and sighs. "It's a conversation I've been having with the Lady since my first change. I don't...it's not that I don't see why the Wyrm needs combating, but..." She rolls her eyes. "I just think that maybe, if the Goddess wants so badly for us to fight and defend Her, that She could give us a hand every now and again. I know I'm not the only one that gets sick of burying the people that I care about, or sometimes that I don't really know, all for a cause that's so...abstract."
