There was a wonderful group of people who gathered at Virginia Falls and spoke of their interactions with Tyneetryk and their appreciation of the part of her life that she gave us here on Atys. The Event Team gave us lamps, and Manda (Tynee's favorite beast) came and watched in the persona of Tiny Manda.

I was privileged to speak last and to present a song: For those of you who were not there, here it is:

These are my words:

I am a Tyker and so was Tyneetrk, but she made all hominity her kin. We are described as a cheerful and industrious race, and we may be a little more hedonistic than some. We value freedom, equality, sharing, She embodied those virtues, and her actions let the Tryker in everyone come out.

Here is the song:

----------------------------

Child of the Wind

Chorus:
We are the children of the wind,
Running free at work and play.
She was our loving Tryker kin.
The winds have borne our love away.

She was a friend to all and one,
Whenever homin needed aid;
Mattered not what they had done
Or in what battles they had played.

We are the children...

She was my friend in childhood lands,
Then we went each our separate way.
Each time we met, we clasped our hands
I wish I could hold her today.

We are the children...

The winds blew me to join her band
Pledged to heal and never harm,
But time was not hers to command;
Her Seed is quenched that was so warm.

We are the children of the wind,
Running free at work and play.
She was our loving Tryker kin.
The winds have borne our love away.

-----------------

Tyneetryk will always be in the winds of Atys.
