I return back to Ahava feeling very refreshed. Sometimes you just need to be alone but it was good to be back. The resonance of Ahava was different now, there seemed to be more of a feeling of hope, more than ever before. Maybe it was always here and I was just used to it and being hidden away from the world for a few days brought it back to my senses. As I stare out over this peculiar little town I sense that there are many divergent threads that are contributing to this general feeling of well being. For myself, my recent soul crafting has left me with fleeting glimpses of my watchtower which brings an indescribable feeling of joy. In addition my understanding of the supernal has increased. Traditionally raising one's soul closer to the towers leaves them feeling more and more alien to the fallen world but for me I feel even closer than before. Before the shadow was always just shadow. But now it's beginning to take on a new resonance to me. I can see the weaving of the tapestry within it. As much as I'd like to take credit for the grounding of my soul, that credit lies with a certain wolf. Everybody just seems a little different as I wander about the grounds of this unlikely place. Hector seems quite smitten with the warrior Yanna. Taranis seems quite different that a few days ago. He has been slowly becoming the Stormcaller and now after his meeting with the Angel his aura seems less dull that it used to be. There is an excitement amongst the Uratha too. We stand on the eve of a very historic moment in the long tale of the People. Tomorrow Forsaken and Pure will meet in peace. To talk of becoming brothers and sisters once again. A week ago I thought this was bad idea but now I think it may be the right course and not just as a ploy to lure out Zulsunak. I can't help but feel that the Lady Abigail, where ever she may be, is looking down and smiling.
Well enough daydreaming. There is work to be done. I need to reweave our protections and upgrade them a bit. And the best part of spending all that time alone is spending some time not alone.
