Addressed to all:

Now that things have settled again after the recent incident, I want to make an offering.

As a child, and into my adult years, I underwent spiritual training on a daily basis to forge a bond with the ancient gods of my land. The purpose of this training was to unlock myself to the world, and gain its wisdom in the process. Though it was a long process, I was successful.

In times of struggle and strife, it can be difficult to figure out where one should turn. It's easy to feel abandoned, and harder to feel united, and you may question if there is any care in the grand scheme of the universe. No one person won't ask themselves if they should take their sufferings and bottle them inside, or reveal them to the world with the fear of judgment. To take hammer to the wall that shields the vulnerable heart is no easy task. Some don't want to break it. Others need help.

To insert an opinion into this, I no longer trust in the higher beings on this realm who brought us here to be of any help. They want us to restore their color, but don't care to grant us any protections in danger. So we must help ourselves, and each other, in times of disillusionment. I've come to feel very strongly about this following the sirens kidnapping.

The purpose of this posting is such: I want to offer myself to others as a spiritual guide. If you feel yourself conflicted, or feeling you have lost your path, or if you want to pray with someone beside you, then you may request me. I ask for nothing in return other than your patience and belief. More so in yourself than me.

If you have questions you may place them here. Comments and discussion into these topics are also accepted.

Regardless, you understand what I'm saying, don't you?

[just don't forget to take care of yourself, ffs.]

[withwisdom]

I do.

I've just never been very good at taking care of myself I suppose. Too busy learning other things.

[ like how to martyr yourself for the world, and all the joys of it. ]

[troubadamsel]

Then we'll just have to keep an eye on you, won't we?

[withwisdom]

I'm not a child Maribelle.

[ even if she's feeling childish. ]

[troubadamsel]

Come now, I'm coming from a place of utmost affection and adoration. You're my friend, so I feel it is my duty to make sure you can be happy.

[withwisdom]

[ ... ]

I apologize. You're right.

If I can be completely honest with you? I've never really had much in the way of friends. I grew up quite sheltered.

[troubadamsel]

I understand. I've known others like that. But this can be a place of change, if you so will it. Given how kind and caring you've shown yourself to be, I believe you've won the hearts of many here. You may not have had many friends before, but that isn't true now.

[ she reads the message a couple times before typing, a wide smile creasing onto her lips. ]

I feel as though the tables have been turned on me. I came here offering guidance and suddenly I'm receiving it.

[troubadamsel]

Nothing wrong with that, is there?

[If this was face to face, it'd be served with a wink and a chuckle.

Even the wisest among us could use some help now and then.

[withwisdom]

I've never been especially good at it, but your claim is certainly correct.

Then you don't mind? If I come to you with my troubles?

[troubadamsel]

My door and heart shall always be open to you, this I vow.

[withwisdom]

You don't know what this means to me. Truly.

[ though she's always willing to help others with their needs, her own have never been easy to open up to. but maribelle has never been anything but kind to her since they met. ]

[troubadamsel]

And you're very welcome.

[must resist urge to hug next time they meet, must resist...]

[withwisdom]

[ resistance will be futile because zelda may just make the hug herself! ]
