Kalon Name: Stígandr
“wanderer” in Old Norse
250 Word Description:
Moving like a shadow in the darkness, Stígandr passed through the forest, walking endlessly through the dim fog with only a small lantern for light. It had been years, decades, centuries. They all passed one by one, blurring into another. For as long as he could remember, Stígandr had wandered through the forest without destination or purpose. He couldn’t quite remember where he came from, or who he had been, and as long as he could remember, he had been alone. He could only scarcely recall vague, indistinct memories from his past life, which slipped away from him whenever he tried to focus on them and which seemed more like visions at times. He was not even sure they were real.
Stígandr was told that he was created for this. Given one task—to guard the forest, and to keep the lanterns lit. Forever. Though his irises were rainbow, he perceived the world in black and white, excepting only the lantern flames. Everything else was devoid of color. He was born to see only one thing, they had told him. Anything else would be a distraction.
So he continued to wander the forest. Sometimes stumbling upon a settlement, but nearly always skirting around them. Even if Stígandr entered, no one acknowledged him, and he didn’t stay for very long. It wasn’t as if he could speak to them anyway.
An amnesiac forest guardian cursed to wander through the darkness forever, lighting the path for travelers.
