Delicate paws would carry the woman into the orchard, though she'd scoured Imperium for the herbs she needed she was always on the look out for something she hadn't been able to get the last time, or maybe missed all together. She made her way towards the orchard easily, the spring was lovely because of all the beautiful flowers that bloomed on the fruit trees. She liked taking home flowers to put behind Rhys's ear, though they never seemed to stay longer than a few minutes it was nice to have the memory of such a cute face with a flower in her ear. When she tried Rhys really cleaned up nice, but for the most part she was covered in dirt. That was Rhys though, and Rhythm wouldn't have wanted her any other way. Her thoughts were mainly on her daughter as she loped underneath the shade of the first few trees, she'd look up into the shaded sunlight, loving the way the warmth felt on her fur as she passed underneath. The birds chirped cheerfully around her, and Rhythm felt a peace fall over her. It was a beautiful day, and she was glad to be out working in it. ""

ILLUME SKYEDarkness creapt around her, pulling the very breath from her lungs. Deep, pulling her down, away from the light. The beginning of her eternity. Her jaws opened to scream, to call for a name she couldn't remember, but the heavy darkness just replaced the air she lost, flooding through her lungs and pulling her down...down... She couldn't breathe, no matter how she tried. Suddenly, she jolted, sitting straight up with wide blue eyes as she gasped and panted for breath. A broken sob slipped through shuddering lips, brows furrowing tightly. Everything hurt, and yet the pain was almost nothing but a memory. It thrumbed through her now, echoing the pain she felt when she was first found. The sounds of footsteps broke her spell, and she glanced over her shoulder from her spot beneath a tree before quickly turning back to hide her face in her paws. Whoever it was, she couldn't let them see her like this. If there was one thing Illie hadn't forgotten, it was her pride. Ankles and paws quickly pushed away the tears, but she couldn't calm the tremors of silent sobs wracking her body. Her dreams have been getting worse, more vivid and she was almost terrified to sleep. Whatever had happened to her, her mind did not want to forget. Unlike everything else. She still couldn't remember much past her name, besides wide expanses of blue and the feeling of cold darkness suffocating her. "Talk"

Though Rhythm was quite preoccupied with the sun playing in the canopy above even she couldn't miss the bright blue beauty that lingered in the shade. The chocolate Destruction would slow as she unintentionally drew more near, sure she'd never seen this young she wolf before. She smelled enough of the pack she knew there was no way she could be a trespasser. Knowing that she might be intruding, but also not caring because she was young and alone and Rhythm was an adult. She was allowed to burst in on the kids, at least for a little while longer. "Everything alright?" Would come her soft voice, the motherly side of her shining through at the vision of tears. She didn't see the water dripping from her eyes but she saw the silent sobs and the distress that lingered on her. ""
