They shimmered back at him with a comforting brightness that cut to his innermost core
25.
Darkburst smiled at Brightness again, then cocked his head to one side in a friendly gesture
26.
Brightness listened to Darkburst's story with rapt attention, her pink eyes following his every move as he paced back and forth across the chamber, lost in his description of the bright ball of light that had emerged from the Sacred Roots and the wonderful image it had contained
27.
As she listened to this strange badger, Brightness slowly overcame her fear of him, and while he continued with his tale, she uncovered a store of worms at which Darkburst took quick impulsive bites, swallowing rapidly so that he could continue his narration
28.
"Brightness," he asked quietly, "do you think that I could stay here for the winter-cycle?"
29.
During the long moon-cycles that followed, Darkburst and Brightness lay snug within their cosy chamber, serenaded by the sounds of the ash tree's roots as the winds swayed its slender trunk back and forth
30.
Brightness soon became used to being left on her own but always looked forward to her mother's visits with anticipation
31.
Brightness began to worry about what had happened to her mother, her mind full of pictures of her lying injured somewhere, or worse still, dead
32.
So after four moons with no sign of her mother's coming, Brightness set out in search of her
33.
Having convinced herself that her mother had only told her these things to stop her wandering off and getting lost, Brightness pushed the warnings to the back of her mind and set out for the sett
34.
Calling out to them, Brightness laughed when they shrieked their surprise at her sudden appearance
35.
Brightness was dumbfounded with shock
36.
Hearing a low growl, Brightness turned to find herself confronted by a large boar, top lip curled back over his teeth in a threatening gesture

38.
Not waiting for their arrival Brightness fled
39.
Brightness was convinced that she was dying, but she had slowly recovered, regaining a little strength with the passing of each moon
40.
But it wasn't to be and finally Brightness left the hillside for the last time, turning her back on her burrow with a heavy heart
41.
From time to time Brightness tried approaching other setts she discovered during her lonely wanderings, but these attempts always ended in her being driven away
42.
Brightness ran from the encounter, tears stinging her eyes, determined never again to allow any badger the opportunity of hurting her that way again
43.
Then one moon, stumbling upon a slender ash tree on the edge of a large meadow, Brightness decided to dig herself a small comfortable sett beneath its protective roots
44.
Brightness had spent many seasons living out a quiet existence on the edge of the meadow, snug in her sett during the winters, roaming the nearby copse during the summers
45.
It had alarmed Brightness deeply therefore, when late one moon she heard a badger's footsteps approaching her sett
46.
Brightness had learnt her lessons the hard way
47.
Rushing back to her sett, Brightness hurriedly dug a short tunnel into the side of the sleeping chamber
48.
Laying close to the floor and breathing slowly to preserve the air, Brightness tried to ignore the stuffiness that quickly built up, forcing her mind to be calm
49.
When Brightness finally emerged from her hiding place, trembling and scared, it had been Darkburst waiting for her, not the monster she'd expected
50.
Brightness had finally met a badger who could accept her for what she was, a badger able to look beyond the colour of her fur
51.
During the following long winter-cycle, Brightness fell deeply in love with Darkburst
52.
Brightness stood forlornly, her heart beating wildly as she watched Darkburst moving out across the meadow under the weak sun
53.
As she watched Darkburst grow smaller, Brightness thought back over what he had told her
54.

55.
While his body carried out the action of walking, his mind, free to roam at will, relived his time with Brightness
56.
Belatedly wishing that he had stayed with Brightness in the safety of her sett instead of chasing his wild dreams, the young badger felt himself plummet into the depths of a deep despondency
57.
Brightness lay on her side beneath the canopy of the slender ash tree that had been her only companion throughout the long lonely moons since Darkburst had left
58.
As Brightness slept, she began to toss and turn in a restless way, causing the keepsake Darkburst had hung about her neck to sway back and forth across her chest
59.
The images persisted for some time after Brightness woke and it took her a moment to realise that it had been a dream
60.
As he rested, thoughts of Brightness teased the edges of his consciousness but he pushed them aside
61.
With that realisation came an overwhelming sadness that he would never see his beloved Brightness again, nor spend another winter cycle snug beneath the ash tree, safe in her small sett
62.
