A figure in white enters and kneels before the Sidhean Altar

[WillBrown]

*He clutches at the symbol about his neck, before quietly mumuring his vows. As the final words fall away to silence, he remains kneeling in silent prayer, his eyes closed in fervour. After several minutes, he clears his throat*

"Allfather, on this day I pray to you for forgiveness. I pray you forgive me for not sensing a friend's need sooner and for letting her pass beyond the sight of You and Your beloved children. I am truely sorry that I did not let her cross into your merciful Son's embrace."

*His tone grows more huskly as he speaks*

"I also pray that she will one day be embraced once again by Your divine light, if in Your infinite wisdom you judge her worthy of this gift."

*His cheeks grow damp as he prays silently for several further minutes.*
