Chapter 12

This was written for Ober Idol in the 2012 Moonfair. It is set at the very end of The Sending, where Rushton and Elspeth are each struggling with their seperate quests.

Same Stars
Washed up on a foreign shore
Dragged right to death’s final door
Doesn’t know what he’s fighting for
Elspeth, his love, is gone

But still one thing he clings to
High above them both
The same stars burn

Trudging through the endless sands
Deep within the poisoned lands
Fate of the world is in her hands
Her love she’ll ne’er more see

But still one thing she clings to
High above them both
The same stars burn

Though parted half a world away
Their certainty they can not sway
That somehow they will find a way
They’ll be once more as one

For still one thing that they cling to
That high above them both
The same stars burn
The same stars turn
