LAST YEARS WISHES ARE THIS YEAR'S APOLOGIES In this bastion, she knew no pain. It swirled and coiled around her. A pup in her mother?s arms. Kalypso stayed there for quite a while. She did not take a seat, nor did she lie herself upon the ground. Instead, she chose to stand and let the shadows cloak her in blackness. This was a sanctuary that was her own. Perhaps it was why rage suddenly overtook her as the news of another graced her mind. The suggestions were slight, but one who knew them well, could read them just as easily as words on a page. Night birds had hushed their warble, and a slight shift in breeze heralded something new in these safe lands of darkness. But if the stranger wished a rise from the merle queen, they would get nothing. Kalypso stayed herself in that position of solemn ponderance. There was still much to think of, and she had only thought of such a small amount. But the other?s presence was still fresh in her mind. It consumed her and burned her sanctuary like wildfire. Upper lip scarcely raised itself as her irritation was thrust inwards. Away from the searching world. Kalypso did not turn to address her sudden company. Instead, she let the same breeze that had betrayed her intruder carry her voice. I?ve killed stupider wolves for being less intrusive than you. The merle queen?s voice entered the air, a dark, contralto sound. The threat had not been empty ? Kalypso simply let her actions speak louder than her tongue. What do you want? The last syllable was spat like venom from a cobra. The birds had entirely left the area ? chased away by the sudden disturbance in their silent home. A shift of breeze brought the stranger?s scent to Kalypso?s nose. It was less musky than a male?s, and untainted by the presence of others. Birds of a feather. |
