like her and I!
I have missed T'zuri. Her voice at the fires, her to talk to, her to share my thoughts and feelings with. There are just those people that will always be special to you, no matter what. She is such a person. She has a kind heart, she cares about everyone be they brand new or long time here at the First Wagons. She has a soul that is as bright as any star in the sky. When she stopped coming to the fires it was like a light went out, and a void was left that nothing could fill. That is T'zuri's gift. She is life, she is zest, she is spice.
No, T'zuri did not die. She did something else. She submitted to Fonce, and I had not seen her since then. I missed her, but in a way I was afraid to go see her. Everything had changed, after all. She is a slave now. I am a free woman of the Tribe. There are things we once had in common that we will never have in common again. I did not want to face that, and I did not want to face her. There have been so many changes so quickly. Kaz and Zarina's death so close together, then this, I just could not keep up with it all. I needed time to put everything together in my head before I dealt with things.
Fonce, he helped to bridge the gap. He is a good person, and a good friend. I was blessed the day the Skies introduced us. He has been a quiet, but steady, source of encouragement and guidance in his own way. I should actually 'thank' him for it. That's another matter, though. We talked. T'zuri and I talked for ahns and ahns. Things shared, spilled out from each of us. The flood of so many thoughts held in just could not be stopped. She and I, no matter what path our lives take that bond will always remain strong. She is happy. I love her as a sister. What else matters?
