Welcomed Home

The woods are on fire was my first thought But I was the one who wanted this journey So, I took another step into the unknown The night had turned red, it was a blood moon Ominous to some? To me, it felt like home There was a comfort in seeing the souls of the trees They had always nurtured me, tonight was no different I saw lights in the distance, the castle of the soothsayer She had lit the path along the way with spirited reds A hazy mist in the distance almost looked like snow I knew it was remnants of her magic; she had begun without me I am her heir, her apprentice, a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. My steps felt light now, there was anticipatory joy in my heart. I was almost home, where my true training would begin. I would become an alchemist like my mother and her mother. The sorceress threw out a wave of pink in a lovely welcome.
