Haunted [Solvei]
Quiet reigns over the death field. If Solvei holds her breath and closes her eyes, she can hear the wind catch and sing along ragged ravine rocks. She cannot listen for long. There is so much more to do, so many more bodies to gather and place beneath cairns.
It will take the rest of the day, and it isn't enough. It's paltry in comparison to the stale suffering hanging in the air. Solvei has no particular love for the tribes that wander the wastes, but they were people. They didn't deserve this doom. Their deaths were needless.

From the deep sea of clouds to the island of the moon, carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never been.
