[CPN] A Passenger of Fate

The Pledged Passerine [1]

It is the first morning of spring in the realm of Zequvith.

A soft breeze passes by Virideia,

home to those who dwell amongst greenery.

Virideian beliefs say that a soft breeze is an omen of change—

whether good or bad, that is up to fate.

In the distance, the great Scianne tree stands proud and mighty,

taller and bigger than the trees surrounding it,

rooted upon the great Mons  Viridi which is sacred ground for Virideians.

Nestling within a gap present in the tree's trunk

is a tiny and endearing sparrow, 

who is now beginning to wake.

The first sunrise of spring greets the sparrow with warmth

and the passerine pokes its head out,

as if to say "Good morning.".

A dew drop suddenly falls upon its head,

earning a swift shake from the sparrow.

Slightly feeling annoyed yet thankful since it has now sobered,

the sparrow spreads its wings and sets off to find its master.
