Steeling himself for one more prayer, when she is finished, Lucas rises on unsteady legs. He helps her up, supporting her as best he can while she finds her balance. He looks to the edge of the circle, in his current state looking impossibly far away even if its only a few feet.
"Walk with me, child of Wolf and Man, your family and friends are waiting for you, while I pray and thank Mother Earth and Father Sky for their new blessings and success in this day."
He takes a step, and with it chants in the three tongues.
"As I walk, as I walk."
A second step on the long journey.
"The universe is walking with me."
Step.
"In beauty it walks before me."
Step.
"In beauty it walks behind me."
Step.
"In beauty it walks below me."
Step.
"In beauty it walks above me."
Step.
"Beauty is on every side."
Step.
"As I walk, I walk with Beauty."
He stands at the very edge of the circle, holding himself up straight, hard as it is.
"Thank you Earth Mother, thank you Sky father, for giving the child of four legs and two new life and new eyes, and for honoring me so much as to hear my humble prayers. I am your child, your servant. Your every blessing is a wonder to me."
One more deep breath.
"When you are ready to walk on your own, Danielle Hrimharisdottir, in one more step, your family will be waiting for you, they have prepared a wondrous feast to celebrate your rebirth, a blanket and new clothes to warm you, and their love and support to reassure you. Step from the circle when you are ready, and I will close the circle behind us and follow soon."
