Vilqa's Gift for the Sea Goddess (Divine Warriors Holiday Special)

By Kristen S. Walker

The champion of the sea goddess must lead the holiday ritual to thank the sea. But if they can’t even read the words, how can Vilqa find the perfect gift?

Vilqa got the opportunity of a lifetime to serve the sea goddess, Sawycha. But being a Divine Warrior comes with lots of responsibilities, and Vilqa is struggling to keep up. They’re still learning how to read, and their leader, Riwenne, wrote down the ritual instructions with very messy handwriting. Vilqa needs help to decipher the ritual and figure out the right gift to show gratitude on Winter Solstice, the holiday for the sea.

Vilqa only has one day to prepare and avoid total humiliation.

“Vilqa’s Gift for the Sea Goddess” is a holiday short story in the Divine Warriors, a steampunk fantasy series for teens. It’s set a few months after the events of book three, but it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Vilqa is a non-binary individual who uses they/them pronouns.

Vilqa's Gift for the Sea Goddess

I ran my hand through my blue-green hair nervously. I’d just cut it short to keep it out of my eyes while I worked, but it felt weird, especially in the cold weather.
