CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
“THE HIGH DRUID LOVES the natural world and all things in it, even rags,” Wiz said, staring up at the night sky. He stood a few feet away from Carny beside one of the huts in the village. Carny didn’t mind the Wiz’s prattling. Listening to him talk kept Carny’s mind from wandering too far down the tunnel in Moskoan.
“He gathered the nuts and seeds from the Eternal Forest and scattered them on the earth. All creatures great and small began in that glorious spring, including they that breathe fire and fly through the air above.”
Carny looked at Wiz and then up at the sky again. He’d sat in a Holy Grove listening to much of the same about the High Druid and the creation of all things. It had always seemed too complicated for him, like a puzzle with missing pieces. There was just so much you had to take on faith.
Wiz sighed. “I felt close to the High Druid today. When we were flying. It was as if I could just reach out and touch him.” He turned and looked at Carny. “For a moment, I knew that if I just undid my straps and jumped I would soar to the Eternal Forest.”
The smile on his face remained, but Carny no longer felt it drawing him in.
“You know that wouldn’t happen, right?” Carny said, making a dropping motion with his hand to illustrate his point. “You take off those straps and the only soaring you’d do is straight down into the dirt.”
Wiz placed the flat of his palm on Carny’s chest. “You know your problem, Carny? You lack faith, in here.” He kept his hand there for several moments, staring deeply into Carny’s eyes. Then he removed his hand and wandered off, occasionally stopping to look up.
Carny stuffed a huge wad of snow and Wild Flower into his mouth and looked up into the night. He saw nothing.
