I Will do Anything for You, Even if I Lose the Stars

He would watch her in silence, laying there in stillness. He had never been still before, never stayed in one spot. He could hardly stop talking at times. It was like night and day, the Voltage of his youth and this man that laid in the sand. But he stared at her with the same hope he had always had. They all needed each other in their darkest hours, and this was Voltage's. What could compare to losing a daughter. He was silent, but the second she was at his side, pushing into his arms, he was holding her. His arms wrapped around her as he pulled her into his withering form. He had little, but some strength left. It had only been two weeks, but it had been a long two weeks. He rested his chin on her and sighed, feeling her whine and cry into his fur. He held her, tightly. As if he would never let her go. He rode her sadness, like he had always done, allowed her to cry and knowing she needed it. She was his sister, she was illie's auntie. There had to be pain there, as well. Astrea and Illie would have been great friends, he believed. His daughter had been a louder, more rambunctious twin to Astrea's longing.

He would sigh and close his eyes, shifting to bury his nose into her fur. "Astrea, my beloved northern star." He whispered softly, his paw wrapping tighter around her. "Shhhhsh..." He would sooth, trying to comfort her in his own grief, trying to hold her through the pain. "There has never been anything that you need to apologize for..." He whispered by her ear, pressing a kiss along her skull. "The universe...I was selfish, for longing my own happiness. It's not in my destiny, I am meant to be your guide, I am meant to allow you to glow...." He breathed. And he believed it, he really did. This was all punishment for going against his vows. For going against the universe. "I was never meant for anything than what I had..." He breathed, trying to sooth her. "Don't cry, my little star, don't apologize." He whispered, tears touching his eyes again.
