When I think of Elan and how most of the images are how it ended, of the capture by the pirate Viking and yet— what of the rest?— the Druid and a mother who were traveling …from ? Only, the Druid was not Elan’s father and was from further away; the people in the village were suspicious of him but he was the healer who sold what they needed.
the way Elan’s memories ended with the trauma of her death —also dominated the images
When there is much trauma in anyone’s life, those experiences take over
but I know more of what happened before, I just never felt like it was as interesting to write about as it was rather ordinary.
There was a small village. Very small. Everyone knew each other. The buildings were very crude. There was a boy on the other side of the villege; he wore a cap and his face was usually dirty from his work. He wore dark trousers and a light colored shirt. He was shy. But so was Elan.
They would meet out in the field in secret but the Druid found out
The Druid traveled often for his supplies. So he was often away. This made life usually endurable. But it was when he discovered this secret that everything changed in Elan’s life
When the Druid took her, along with Elan’s mother, away, they never saw each other again
Who was he? Where was this villege?
