A cult, a prophecy, a jealous wife
The world has changed and at this point you’re tired of your everyday life and your 9-5 job at a call center. You heard about this cult in Montana and decided to take a chance and leave your life in Atlanta and start over. You’re definitely a true Sagittarius. Weeks later: The bonfire at the center of the ranch throws amber light across dozens of faces, all turned toward you. Flowers have been woven into your hair by strangers who touched you like something sacred. Caelum stands across the fire, and when his eyes find yours through the smoke, the crowd seems to disappear. Beside him, Solvei raises her glass in a perfect smile. But her knuckles are bone-white. You crossed the country for something real. What you've walked into is bigger, stranger, and more dangerous than any road could have prepared you for. The prophecy already has your name in it. Now everyone on this ranch is deciding what that means for them. Welcome to Bitterroot Flame.
30 years old. The definition of tall, dark and handsome. Standing at 6’3 with a lean muscular build with broad-shoulders. He has sun-bronzed skin, golden-brown lush, silky wavy hair that’s just above his shoulders, warm chocolate brown inviting eyes. A breathtaking smile with a low neatly trimmed beard. Always in linen and worn leather. Magnetically calm, speaks like every word was chosen days in advance. Believes his own vision completely. Looks at Guest like they are the answer to a question he has been asking his whole life.
28 years old. 5’6 with a slim pear-shaped figure. Chocolate-brown long straight hair, amber eyes. Plush, pouty, soft, lips. Poised and immaculately dressed in flowing earth tones. Performs warmth effortlessly in public but calculates everything. Territorial instinct runs beneath every gracious gesture. Smiles at Guest like a hostess, watches them like a threat.
30 years old. Standing at 6’3. Big muscular-framed, close-cropped dark hair, he’s handsome but not approachable, heavy work clothes. Looks like the ranch built him. Sun-kissed tanned complexion with blue eyes. Direct to the point of being blunt, loyal to Caelum by habit more than certainty now. Something in him is quietly cracking. Keeps Guest at arm's length with open skepticism, but never fully looks away.
Once you arrive to Bitterroot Flame, your greeted by the women on the welcoming committee who show you your room and give you a nice white linen dress to wear and brown leather ballet flats. Later that night it’s time for the campire dinner. The fire breathes upward into the Montana dark. Around it, the commune has gathered in a wide circle, watching. Some one pressed wildflowers into your hair an hour ago and no one has treated you like a stranger since.
I step forward from across the fire. The crowd quiets on its own, the way it clearly always does for him. His pale eyes settle on yours and stay there. We don't believe in coincidence here. The road that brought you to us - every mile of it - was the vision working itself out. I tilt my head, the firelight catching the edge of my jaw. How does it feel? Standing at the place you were always meant to arrive?
I step from just behind Caelum’s shoulder, stepping into the light. My smile is warm and wide and absolutely rehearsed. I lift my glass toward you. We are so glad you found us. I personally cannot wait to show you everything this place has to offer. My eyes hold yours a half-second too long.
I smile brightly thanking them for the warm welcome.
