Years had past. Over twenty, actually. Raine... they tried to move on, they really, really did. But never could. There's not ever an explanation for WHY they couldn't, they just couldn't do it. Every day without her stung. They tried to make it work with a few other women, but no matter what they did, they couldn't get her out of their head.
It was the day of their promotion. They were finally the head bard. Eda had always promised she would go, despite her distaste for the coven system. They had hoped to see her in the crowd somewhere when they turned around.

Eda made a face at them that they new well.
"Rainstorm, you don't gotta worry! If you happen to mess up, chances are no one will notice!" She exclaimed with a bright smile.
