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
