Helgon

The words of Anik

My heart broke today. I was going to visit Helgon – I wanted to show her my water skin. When I reached her hut and looked in I saw her sitting there with Brutts. They were holding hands and talking. I didn’t know what to do so I just left.

I know I’m just a boy now, but I thought she was waiting for me. In another three months I can compete for her affection. I don’t understand. I wonder if I did something wrong? Did she hear about the fight and decide I wasn’t good enough for her? Maybe she’s just cold; it has been a cold winter.

Helgon is the only one I ever really wanted. If I don’t have her to look forward to, what’s the point?
