Prompt: Nevermore

Freya fingered the owl totem. It was only a few inches tall; easy to carry inside a pocket. It had been carved by her great-great-great grandmother.

Not for the first time, did Freya wonder how her ancestor had felt. How she had coped. How had she gone on when she lost the voices of the Spirits and nevermore could call on them to take form? Unlike her long deceased ancestor, Freya was used to the silence.

“It is what it is.” She said softly to the totem, wondering if her philosophy was inherited from the little totem's maker.
