It’s always hard to be on duty when everyone else is celebrating. But sneak attacks have often happened on holidays when the enemy thinks you’ll be too distracted to properly keep watch. Since my partner is away visiting the tribe of his birth — a tribe where I am not welcome, what with my wings and my horns — I volunteered to take on back-to-back shifts so that others could relax and enjoy the celebration. It’s but a small sacrifice to keep watch over this tribe that welcomed us into their midst after we were outcast by our own upon our rule-breaking marriage. I am happy to do it, and proud of the responsibility they allow this adopted daughter, and yet, it’s still lonely up here in the heights, hearing the laughter and revelry from below, feeling apart from it all. It’s been so boring, my mind keeps drifting to other times, other places. But soon it will be dark; those happy sounds will carry even further, and that is when I need to be on fullest alert, guarding against any and all dangers in the shadows, to protect those who have willingly and openly become our new family. Perhaps it is the blending of the races in my background, my adherence to no single set of practices, but it is my wish for all to have a happy holiday, whatever and however they celebrate, in any tribe, in any village, in any family. Sprinkles a little fairy dust on the wind, and with a sigh, I set my mind to hours more of watchful vigilance…
