the dalish wanderer

The Keeper liked to say that Theron lived in the shadow space between sunset and sunrise, that because of his unique birth, he had the favor of both Elgar'nan and Mythal. She said he held council with the sun, but only before the moon slipped out of his grasp. It was nonsense. Still, Theron likes mornings. They spread slowly, with a sense of stability, yet they're never the same. He is always up before dawn, stealing out of whatever bed or tent or pile of clothing and backpacks he slept in the night before. Sometimes he thinks that the only reason he goes to sleep is for the cool air and peace of morning.
