The Candle Mass: Dusk

The next candle stood 6 feet tall and bore the symbol of eternal life. The last candle stood 7 feet tall and engraved in one side was the symbol of the rising star. She knelt in the center of the circle and meditated within her shrine for several hours.

It was dusk when Gereon found Moondust within the circle meditating in solitude. He stood there watching her trance for a long while. The icy stream carried dead leaves and branches over and around the fallen tree and made a peaceful gurgling sound. Rogue appeared to have a smile on his face as he stood there in the night sky watching Moondust alongside Gereon. After a time, Gereon sat down on the fallen dead tree and called out to her. She awoke from her deep meditation and gave him an innocent smile.
