Astrea watched the little blue girl, she seemed... Discontent. And as she listed off the family that she knew and those that she did not a sad wight settled on her chest. What happened to her family? She knew what happened to her, she left. But what about the others? Where did they go that the newest part of her family have not seen head nor tail of them? Astrea shock that sad thought away, it was food for thought another day. "Well Serefina was the protector of the family, she was pure fire, temper and all. Arcus is the eldest in my litter, he holds a storm of emotions in him and he went with me on my journey. He stayed out their, I have a feeling that if he ever comes home it would only be for a visit..." A sadness hung around her neck, other than Volt and Glace Arcus was the closest of all her siblings... and she missed him like she would miss the stars. "Solaris and Selini are the twins in my litter, opposites but as close as any two could be." She sighed, she had wished to wedge herself between them, had wanted so bad to have what they had... But now? Now she was happy with herself. She was happy being her own thing, more so than she was ever trying to fit in with them. She snapped her mind back to the now and not the lonely unsure pup she used to be. She focused back on Illume, her small voice full of home and doubt. "Illume I never say what I do not mean. I am always her for you, ALWAYS. If you need help or get lost I will find and help you." She smiled then at her little niece, knowing the storm that she must be feeling, much akin to the storm she herself once weathered. She nuzzled the fur on her nieces chest and then did what her siblings most likely never did, she truly listened to what little Illume was saying. She talked about a pull, a pull away from the family. She sighed then, knowing that things where never going to be a shift in this little girls path. "Fate has a way of directing our actions, if you feel like you need to do something for your soul then you have to, if you deny it for too long fate will pull you in. Come to me little Illume when the pull is at its strongest, and we will go and find the other side of the line that is holding you." Astrea smiled at her, a sad knowing smile, she knew this pull, had fallowed it when it called as she knew Illume would too... "I would not have called it fun, I meet some great wolves and ever a fox who wanted to see a shark but I also went hungry for the first time in my life, I walked in the cold wet rain when I could not find shelter, and I missed those who loved me most... I also faced a cold hard fact out in that world, one I hope you never have to... One that Glacier and Voltage just want to save you from... But I know we can not protect you from the world, not forever..." She looked at little Illume knowing deep down in her heart that this little light was going to see some darkness really soon... Was she going to light the darkness up with her inner flame or whisk out like a starved fire with no tender? Only time will tell... Astrea got up then, and nudged the little girl. "It is time for us to get you to bed, I know Volt is most likely worried that you have not gotten off this cliff yet. He most likely thinks you sunk into the ground so you never leave it again." She laughed at her joke as she made her way down off of her perch, she felt a heavy weight on her heart, knowing that the family and little Illume was going to be tested in the days to come... Her only wish is that she could be their for her family when it did... |
