[X-World] Small Ceremonies

[Miranda Weaver]

Hidden in an old power conduit box down by the river, Miranda had built a small shrine (after stripping the box of every valuable piece of material of course). She didn't get down here as often as she would like. It was kind of a trip and she couldn't leave Theresa with Jennifer too much, just for her own conscience sake. Jennifer did enough as is, Miranda couldn't ask more of her.

This morning, she'd made sure that Theresa was lost in good dreams and unlikely to wake for a while. Then she'd slipped down to the river just before dawn to greet the sun. She opened her makeshift shrine and knelt, praying quietly. She gave thanks for returned friends. She asked for the safety of those not here. She prayed for the souls of those she knew were gone. As she prayed, her mind opened up and a sense of serenity settled onto the surrounding area.
