Sickness

Trissy’s family was essentially wiped out by an illness that went through their Woodsman group killing all but 4 people, the two male cousins, Trissy and Jenny. Jenny age 2, was still weak and sick and the cousins tried to convince Trissy to leave her behind. They were convinced she was going to die anyway, and they couldn’t stand to remain any longer. Trissy sent them on after they helped her burry the last of their group and she stayed to nurse her younger sister.

In the end Trissy followed the dream, walking for 2 full cycles of seasons with a small child. Neither she nor Heron understood that the planet had found a way to bring them together. Out of the worst incidents can spring hope, love, and life.
