Bronagh has spent a month settling into her new, very rushed marriage to Cairbre, whom she knew in childhood but has not seen since. Her grandmother, Ealga, had two intentions for the marriage: 

1. To protect Bronagh from Seamus, a seer (or Sibyl) in their own tribe, who threatened to kill Bronagh out of fear that she would fulfill his terrifying prophecy.

2. To broker peace between th...

The original song...

Ealga is furious that Bronagh didn't show up at the harvest festival--as far as she knows, anyway. She commiserates about what to do with Abban the Locksmith, Cara the Soul-Shepherd, and Turlough, the Innis tribal king. 

When a newcomer approaches, latent anger threatens to boil over.

Though she is dangerously empathic and deeply afraid, Bronagh agrees to try to meet a suitor for her grandmother Ealga's sake. She promised to attend the harvest festival, but the closer she approaches, the more her fear grows and she risks revealing her secret, the ominous warning haze that emits from her body. 

But someone approaches. 
Someone she hasn't seen in a very, very long time... and isn't sure if she wants to.
