The Wind Weaver

By Martin Sercombe

 

In the land of Alveria, there lives a powerful wind weaver who controls the wind with a wave of her hand. The wind weaver, a hardy old woman, lives high in the mountains, alongside the sky whisperers. These are the spirits who sing the songs that are carried on each new wind the weaver creates.

 

One winter's night, a young woman named Kaimana knew it was time to climb the mountain to fulfill her destiny. As she ascended the slopes, she heard the songs of the sky whisperers growing louder.
 
Finally, Kaimana reached the snow-capped summit. Through the mist, she saw a figure approaching. The old wind weaver was happy to finally meet her new apprentice. Over the next few months, she taught Kaimana how to harness the power of the wind, guiding her through the snowcapped mountains and teaching her the secrets of the sky whisperers.

Eventually, Kaimana was able to control the winds that blew across the land, shaping them to her will and crafting beautiful patterns in the long grasses with each wave of her hand. Working alongside the sky whisperers, her winds filled the valleys with soothing, melancholic songs.

With her knowledge safely passed on, the old wind weaver passed away, to the sound of a gentle, whispered sigh.
