Knight of Swords
An old poet, who's name has long been lost to the annals of time, once described standing on the top of a mountain to sitting upon the throne of the gods. While sitting on a god's throne was probably a grander and far more dangerous experience then climbing a giant rock, any who stood above the Crúbaí Nathair valley and seen the entirety of the Canadhforaoise stretched out below might forgive the comparison. A seemingly endless expanse of green covered the valley floor with a large river snaking its way through, it was easy to feel like you were staring at all of creation from on high. And yet, as it was with most things, it was a beauty that only an adult could appreciate; the view and symbolism lost on the young girl that skipped her way up the mountain trail, a basket hanging from her arm.
Rather the child's eyes were down on the ground, scanning the sides of the road until she found a patch of wild flowers. Rushing over she crouched down, faded green skirt bunching up under her, and began searching through the petals, examining each flower carefully. When she found one that passed her unknown requirements she plucked it up and added it to the collection in her basket before moving on to the next. Once she had gathered a handful she moved on down the road, skipping merrily as she hummed a happy little tune until she found another patch, where she repeated this process, oblivious to the man coming over the top of the hill.
