~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story was told by a village elder at every joining ceremony, a stark reminder to the happy couple that any day could be their last together and to cherish every moment they shared together. It was a sombre moment during the day, to make sure that this couple didn’t make the mistakes of the past, to realise how lucky they were to have each other, not to let inconsequential things impact on their love for one another and to never put plans off. It also provided a chance for other couples to remember the importance of their relationships and to forgive each other for petty quarrels.
The elders would tell the story of a passionate and devoted couple that had lived many generations ago. They were young and recently joined, although it had been suspected since their childhoods that they would become betrothed. The Wraith had not culled the village in many generations and although the elders were starting to fear that a cull was imminent, the younger people were beginning to suspect that the Wraith were gone from their part of the galaxy. Although very much in love, the couple quarrelled frequently and often after a large fight the young man would trek into the forest and not return for many days. His father and the other elders advised him that he should stay within the confines of the village; however he would not be persuaded otherwise. The woman also disregarded their warnings, believing that he was safe in the forest.
But one night the elders’ fears did materialise and the Wraith viciously culled the village. The darts screamed overhead and their sweeping beams lit up the village. The young man had been gone for two nights when this occurred and was expected back that day. When morning came and the Wraith were gone he returned to the village. His father had to tell him that she was gone.
