Celebrant in the Darkest Night

[roodbearer]

Before the sacrifice-child was born to the Light and his priests sought to eradicate the power of the Solstice -- before all the tiny candles burned frantically in denial of the Dark itself -- long before all of the Light's attempts at denial, mankind remembered the power of my Goddess on this darkest night of the year

OOC

[soviet_shelke]

Shelke leaves Sydney an apple pie candle (because it smelled good!) conveniently wrapped in a towel so he doesn't scratch/break the glass.

(She wishes that the mind-reading ability Sydney has would work the other way around so it would've been easier to get something for Christmas. >:)

(... I do believe that LJ detests me or something.)

Sydney certainly knows about candles, but he's never experienced an apple pie before. They hadn't really developed a modern concept of pie crusts in his set of the dark ages, and cinnamon and cloves were more rare and precious than gold.

So he's as curious as a cat, intrigued by the scent and perplexed by the ongoing impulses to taste the wax, which intellectually he knows won't be very appetizing but the fragrance is so ...enticing.

('sokay! I think LJ was tripping over the size of the thread for a while there...)

You know... for someone who speaks so disparagingly of self-sacrificing martyrs...
