*a ceremony in a brook*
-
_*After dark one night, as the mighty N'Jast force prepares it's advance, and a tiny opposing forces waits on a windswept ridge, it is said the silhouette of a lone elven woman, scantily clad, can be seen in the little stream right on the expected front of the N'Jast advance.
She stands in the water up to her thighs, repeatedly saying a prayer Blessing the small brook against those enemies who would try and pass it, invoking the name of the Goddess Mielikki, as she lowers her blade beneath the moving water, poised, then leaping upward in a blindlngly fast wave cutting movement, silently striking towards the enemy lines, over and over again.
In the morning, she is gone, like a dream, passing with the night.*_
