[Austin Eventide]

Austin was always one to rise early of a brightening. So long spent tending to the various chores around the winery made it difficult for him to sleep past the first signs of light. Summer was one of his favorite seasons due to the warmth and beauty that it brought to the land. Although Spring was a time for new growth, Summer was the time to enjoy that new growth. Thus he strolled through the streets of Natura as he did each early brightening. Unlike previous times however, he caught a familiar figure leaving the city. She was heading in the direction of the Wish Tree. He knew there would be no sense in trying to closely follow without being noticed by Nymira whom although he didn't see, knew had to be near nonetheless.

He waited for her to get just out of sight before following. When he caught sight of her again, Austin saw Jade sitting up against the tree. He had heard of the Wish Tree during his short time in Natura; a place one goes to leave offerings as well as wishes, hopes and dreams to the Goddess in hopes of having them answered and gaining Her blessing. Austin casually walked up to the tree while giving a silent prayer to Carmelya.

Quietly so as not to frighten her, Austin said, "Let me guess, you were wishing for me to appear. Well here I am." A smile spread across his face and he held both arms out to either side while giving a slight bow.
