Tradition summary

Mythic Dream reflection
to dream of her is to feel a steady, patient companion keeping pace with you along a road you must not walk alone.
Literary reflections
These fragments are original Mythic Dream writing, offered as prompts rather than historical source material.
She rides a white mare at an easy walk, and soldiers far from home carved her likeness by the stable door so that their horses might come back sound.
At the end of the last road she waits, and the dead who feared the crossing find only a quiet horse, and a hand held out to help them mount.
