Ritual Ready

I hope you feel welcomed in my home, traveler. You may freely use it for the time being, as I am soon to set my hoofsteps toward Moonhoof Retreat. A ritual of worship is soon to begin, and I, like many, wish to attend.

Tradition has it, at least my personal one, to bring a flock of feathers from the roaming stagwings as an offering to Mother Mu?sha. A simple yet strong reminder that we are able to stand on our own in this beautiful yet harsh environment.

Since you have been my guest, and as I grow old in my age, I would ask you to repay my kindness by bringing me seven stagwing feathers. You will find several of them roaming the fields around my house. Face them with courage and respect; think not of it as a mindless kill, but as proof that you are able to defend yourself and those you owe.

Is the task proving to be more challenging than you expected?

Fine feathers, you are better at this than I have anticipated.
