Astrea had been home for almost a season now but other than that first meeting Astrea had not seen head nor tail of her dearest elder brother. She hummed softly, she knew he must be hurt beyond reason after they lost little Illume. Astrea felt the loss too, she had only just stated getting the little one on track with her nature, she was starting to understand her need for light but now she was gone and with her the light seemed to fallow... As if her very nature missed her like the family did. So her quite waiting was over, if Astrea had learned anything on her quest for self it was the fact that sometimes she had to go to her charge to help them, that sometimes they where to proud or too lost to find help for their soul. So Astrea was moving through the beach, her nose to the air looking for any scent of Volt which was easy enough because only one of his trails fresh, which worried Astrea more because that means he was not moving through the territory like he used to. Astrea picked up her pace then, her mind made up. The Star Dreamer was going to knock some since into his big block head, yes he lost his daughter, yes she was important to him, as she was important to them all. But she was not the only one who looked to Voltage for guidance and protection. The family needed him, they needed him to be strong for them all, to protect them from the same fate as the Hellstorms... She would do anything for Volt, to bring back the joy she knew was in him. Even if Astrea had to leave her family again so soon after her return, even if she missed another birth into the family. She would be sad to but she would, so would give her siblings anything so that they stayed happy, even her own life if that was asked. |

It had been two weeks. A half of a month, since his little girl had been washed away before his very eyes. Two weeks since Current had lost her other half, and had lost her own light as well. Two weeks since the last time Voltage had known what to do. Two weeks of Glacier being at his side, every second, every breath, trying to help Voltage through this. But he didn't know. No one knew. No one could understand what it felt to watch something you made, watch a little bit of you, become lost to the world. Twice. How could any of them understand the feelings you felt when you lost a child? It had been a week since Voltage had finally given up, finally understood that his child, that his daughter, was lost to the world forever. For the first time in a week, Voltage had left the den. He hadn't move very far, no. He had managed to get to the ocean before he fell to his side, cheek to black sand, staring out with dead eyes at the ocean. The waves in their crest had managed to wash over his side but now that the tide was out, it just barely touched his toes with the strongest of waves. There was nothing but numbness as he stared, watching the waves and praying to the universe, to whoever decided that Voltage was not allowed any of his own happiness, to just...save his daughter. To raise her from the waves and return her to him. To give him back his light. He had lost everything that day. It had been a catalyst, a fatal crack, and Voltage had been lost to the waves as well. Without the light, his energy couldn't shine. Without his family...his family, he couldn't feel. He felt resentful, felt spiteful, but also...felt nothing. Where the hell was his family?! His daughter, his little girl was gone, and aside from that fateful day the only one that was at his side was Glacier. His family that he had laid his life down for. His family that, since the moment he had seen them, had vowed to protect them and care for them and guide them. His family, whom he worried about each and every day, was nowhere to be seen when HE needed them! For once. For once, Voltage needed them. And they were nowhere to be found. Why, oh why, did the universe hate him so... "Burn Baby Burn" |
