Story: Starfall
Colors: Nacre #17 (Between the couch covers); White Opal #16 (Living inside one’s mind); Twilight #2 (Ecstasy)
Supplies and Styles: Canvas + Paint by Numbers from bookblather (finally free) + Photography + Panorama
Word Count: 718
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of injury, peril.
Notes: 1316 Portcallan; Osmer Nivyrn. (Another snippet from Osmer’s being betrayed and injured too badly to continue as a Pathwalker. It’s 1316, because Osmer lost over 18 months as a result of what he does here (returning to Starfall in early 1318), which apparently I never actually made clear in the other pieces where this was referenced.)
Summary: The Paths have no physical location in this world. Therefore the only thing limiting a person’s access to them is the walls of their own mind.
