Always The Wind

"Star of the Sea," 12.

Heidhin to Everard concerning Veleda:

"'Whoso offends her shall suffer worse than death. She is the chosen of a goddess.'
"Did the wind really blow keener all at once?" (p. 575)

Of course the wind blows keener. The goddess passes. Or rather, she, Janne Floris, hovers above on a timecycle and converses with Everard, inaudibly to Heidhin.

Heidhin believes that greater forces are present and at work. He is right. But the reality is not what he thinks. That is true also of us.
