The blessing

NOTE: This is in intersection with tsuki_no_bara. I think it works a little better if you read her entry first.With shaking hands, and a little prayer, Aytak Ransdottr made fast the final knots

Cleverly intersected. You two did a great job on this mer-people story! I enjoyed how you built a culture beneath the sea, religion, if you will. The net was inspired! And "fry" made me LOL.

Thanks! I had Tsuki come up with the initial concept, which was her encounter story, so I opted for something from the point of view of the mer-person. With the coast being on the Baltic Sea, next to Scandinavia, that sent me looking for Norse legends, and thus the sea-goddess Ran and her net for catching drowning sailors (or to drown sailors, depending on how you interpret it). Her Nine Daughters are also part of the lore, and of course I would go and choose the one with the hardest name to spell. =)

After reading the intersection, this was so touching. Gave me shivers.

This is lovely, as usual. The intersection between the two pieces is great. :)

Both of u did a great take on Intersection. Loved it .

You have learned well the balance of simplicity and beauty, the art of function and function of art. I am impressed. - a great sentence for shibusa :)

Thanks! When I came across the "net" portion of the mythology I found an easy in for the topic.

Great job with this! I'm sort of a sucker for good mer-stories, and you didn't disappoint. :)

Thanks! And it gave me more practice in writing for females. So, I'm glad it worked.
