A day in the sun

Voltage lifted himself out of the den, squinting his eyes at the bright light that greeted him that morning. It was a beautiful day. The sun was warm, the sky so clear. It was such a beautiful day before the cold of winter came about. He stood there, basking in the sun infront of his den for several moments, staring out at the ocean. The heat made him think of his sister, wondering where she was at this moment. He had never gone this long away from her, and while he had kept himself busy he did miss her so fully. So much...He breathed in slowly, pulling the salted air into his lungs before tilting his head to look into the den to where his daughters were still sleeping...he hoped. He missed his sister so dearly, just like he missed Arcus and Astrea. With a heavy sigh he'd look at his children, his smile lost from his face. He had never felt such holes in him, even when he and Glacier had been sent away. There was always that knowledge that his siblings had each other, and one day...one day he might see them again. But not now, no. There was something final about this feeling, something that told even his most optimistic side that it would be a long while before he saw his missing siblings again. Each one, gone, was like a blow to his chest, like he had lost this great part of himself and it was true. He didn't feel that constant energy coursing through him any longer, and he often found himself sighing. His grin was harder to hold up, as well, and he certainly had laxed a lot on his alpha duties, hadn't he? With a sigh (oh great, another one) he'd look at his children. "Illie~ Current~" He sang, pulling a smile onto his face. "It's a lovely day for a swim, isn't it? Why don't you two go get your Uncle Glace and we can have a beach party together." He'd say with a gentle laugh, turning more so he wasn't straining to see his daughters, wondering if they were even awake in the bright light of the morning. |
