Hopes and Dreams are Like Stars in the Sky

Voltage's eyes were on the stars, tracing the shapes that had become so familiare in the recent years. He would sigh softly, tilting his head to the left and remarking silently on the fact that the stars seemed so much brighter tonight. Things were settling back into place. When she began to talk, stormy eyes would shift to her, ears perked to soak in every word he had missed, every sound. He wanted to interrupt her, to tell her it wasn't necessary. He understood, he always did. Somewhere under the flurry of emotion he felt, he always knew why, even when he couldn't accept it. But he let her speak, a tender smile on his lips, missing this. Missing sharing these nights with her, these talks. She had grown, he noted. It wasn't just the feathers that were new. There was this light to her eyes, this knowledge he hadn't seen. And he felt so proud. When she finished, he allowed a silence to settle around them, his eyes shifting from her back to the stars that painted the sky. "A long time ago, long before you were born, two little boys were cast from their home. For an entire year they searched the island that they had called home for answers. They searched the skies, the waters, the heavens and the earth for what they should do. They struggled to survive, not knowing how but quickly having to learn..." He said softly, staring out at the stars. "Sometimes it takes these surprise journeys, these random, quiet events to teach us what we need to know." His voice was tender, soft, his eyes always on the stars. "While they never found their answers, and now they never will...they learned to depend on one another. They found their elements, found their truths, and found their future a year later in the faces of their siblings when they had been cast out as well." He smiled softly then, finally looking at Astrea. "I could never be mad at you for taking your journey. We all have too, even if it's metaphorical. Even if it's all in our hearts. Even if we have to leave to ifnd it." He sighed softly, turning to the ground and thinking of Arcus. "Even if our answers mean...we must leave the home we had belonged too..." He would sigh softly, all the melancholy he felt over his stormy brother's decision heavy in the air. Stormy eyes would lift again, searching for Astrea's own eyes. "I am proud of you, my littlest sister." He whispered, shifting to press his shoulder against hers. "Nothing will ever change that. You don't need to explain to me, just know I will and have always supported you." |
