( a second ritual )
due to her impressive && genetically enhanced physique, hammer lives beyond that of a century. though never outwardly aging (garth) && not actually ageless (reaver), hammer’s lifespan takes it’s stages internally. ever powerful, ever imposing, the exhaustion she feels as her presence outlives that of her friends + family, even sparrow && garth, soon takes its toll on even her.
sensing her limit, she chooses to tie up her loose ends before leaving the small, cozy northern temple of warrior monks && returning back to oakfield. back home. rounding the hundred year mark, hammer arrives back in time to perform the golden oak ritual a second time around – this time alone && this time for good.
completing the ritual once again, providing one more safe, fruitful livelihood for yet another century, hammer then embraces her fate. her strong heart ceases && she is buried with the golden acorn of oakvale – laid to rest beside her father.
