The Ancient Druid 4

Our friend Balgar having passed leaving Willow to take his place rests in peace. Willow struggled to find her way until she went to the summer Solstice there she met many other druids from whom she learnt so much, bursting to try them out she went a little away until everything was quiet and still. She started a fire from which she hung a cauldron and filling it with fresh pure spring water and a bunch of herbs she left it to infuse. So caught up in what she'd learnt she jumped when high priest druid Juniper spoke to her asking what she was brewing. Just a few herbs for healing wounds she replied, ah he said add some of these to it. So she did asking what they were moon stars he replied greatly taken by her gentle ways. She had much to ask him about as the night sky darkened he taught her much about herbs and life slowly she settled against him and they sat quietly together drinking in the dark night and the feelings they both felt until he gently embraced her to him looking down on her. She raised her head and softly kissed him and took him into her after they finished mating he held her tight until daybreak. Be on your way Willow he said we are not likely to meet again our paths go different ways. Sadly she watched him fade into the nearby woods and wished she could travel with him. No matter what came to pass she knew she would not forget him or their time together. A couple of months later she was pleased to find she was with child to him. She decided to join a family of druids and with them she healed people and animals never turning any way. In time she gave birth to a bonny boy who she named Juno little realising that he was the future high priest of all druids Juniper came to see him and again laid with her without result. Her only child would be Juno as he grew she taught him all she knew until at 15 she sent him with great sadness to Juniper who would finish of his training. Once parted from him she threw herself into helping those who needed her help and growing frail she quietly passed away before Juniper and Juno could reach her greatly sadden by her loss they buried her in the woods overlooking Stonehenge where Juniper had met her. y
