Who am I, really?

Voltage would curl into a more comfortable position, resting his chin gently on a forepaw as he looked at her. He could certainly see his brother in her, not just her coloration but there was a gentle underlying curiousity beneath all that energy. His brother had always been the quite observer. As children when they had found something of interest, Voltage had always been loud and bouncy, excited over the aspect of finding it, where as Glacier had always seemed more curious about the thing itself. She was an ending seeker, a secret finder, and he couldn't help but smile warmly. She may be a lot louder than Glacier, but she had that unrelenting part of her that reminded him so clearly of his brother. And she had Ani in there too, but he was oddly reminded of himself. He smiled warmly at her curious question, and he slowly rose a brow. "I know everything, Seraphiel." He said in his gentle voice, tilting his head on his paw. "I can tell when someone is breaking the rules. I've had a lot of practice. You're not the first child that has tried to break the rules." He said with a soft chuckle. Not only his daughter, but the second litter...Serefina had been mischevious too, just like this girl. As Big Brother, Voltage had had to adapt, to be there to keep disasters from happening. When she agreed whole heartedly to the story he had to hum, closing his eyes slightly as she nestled in more comfortable. How would he go about this... "Once upon a time, the universe...split in two." He began, just the way he had when he told Arian of his history. "From it, two creatures were born. One was named Time and one was called Space. They found a special island lost between the seconds of time, and they settled down to create the earth. The first children they birthed were Energy, the beginning and the life, and Ice, the end and the unrelenting protector." He whispered softly, opening his eyes to look to her. "The two children grew, for a year together with Space and Time, when more children came. Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. They all lived together, happily and at peace for a full year. But when the second spring of Energy and Ice's life, they were cast away." His voice was soft, deep, as he watched the little girl. "They were banished from their siblings' sides, forced to break all connection with them and were sent out into a cold, unforgiving world alone. They struggled but soon learned how to live on their own. They spend nights laying together, worrying about their siblings. Another year passed with the two alone in solitude, when their siblings, too, were banished from their home. In their place, another litter had been born: the Storms, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, the youngest of the earth." With that he lifted his head to look out at the stars, sighing softly. "On that day, Energy and Ice vowed to guide their siblings through life, so they wouldn't feel that unforgiving isolation, so they could live a happy life despite their banishment from their life. They excaped the island between seconds, and found a volcano to call their own. But another year passed, and the youngest of the family was sent away. So Energy and Ice brought them all together, and they, again, moved." His eyes distanced then, sighing softly. "They found a beach of black sand, and lived there in harmony for a long time. A little cloud joined them, and a little mouse. Storm fled, fire ran off, and stars went searching for her place. And then...from Energy and Cloud, came Light and Electricity...but before their year came, something happened...something terrible." He paused then, to look at her with a frown, his brows pinched. "Before the earth turned to Fall, Light was tragically lost to the ocean, and without the power of light, Electricity lost her way, and she, too, left to find her light." He whispered sadly, laying his head back on his paws as he sighed. "And then, not long after, the family was given their light again, but this time in the form of auroras, and their Electricity was replaced with Frost...and soon, there will be more." He murmured with a small, gentle smile. No one knew his and Gaia's secret yet, not even her father. "Do you know why I tell you all this?" He asked softly, looking at her again with gentle eyes, his tail swaying to lay over his hind leg. "Burn Baby Burn" |
