Dreams Into Reality
Her ears flicked slightly as the other shifted, and the alphess felt bad for a moment that she had seemed to startle her. She couldn't help but continue to stare through the darkness, the nagging feeling in her mind telling her that something here was...well, she wasn't even sure. She said nothing as the other told her it was just a bad dream, apologizing to her even. She slowly shook her head. Really, there was no need to apologize for anything. Avalon was the one that had walked in and startled her after all. But when the woman's companion owl spoke, her brows furrowed. Oracle? That...was just coincidence right? It's not like her family was really starting to come out of the woodwork all of a sudden. First Creed, and then Galahad...this had to be some twist. Maybe Vereux's gods being mean to her all over again; a reason she didn't believe in them.
“Don’t mind him. I’m Oracle Ancora and this grumpy feathers is Bubo.”
That was when she really did freeze. Ancora? It...it couldn't be, could it? Was it really truly her younger sister? Her eyes widened as she stood there and stared, jaws gaping open as her mind tried to wrap around it. Tanaraq peered into the cave, a confused look on her face. Why was Avalon acting so strange? "Avalon? Are you alright?" Avalon would suddenly jerk herself free from her trance, though she was very much at a loss for what to say. Her gaze roved over the other, taking in the dual toned coat that became more and more familiar as the pieces of her memory began to fit together like a puzzle. She remembered that coat. She remembered those eyes. She remembered her sister. She remembered being there for some time to take care of her after finding her still at the cove, before life pulled her away to search for her parents. Her throat grew tight, her mouth dry as she looked for something to say. "Oracle..." Her voice was shaky, eyes watering though she fought to keep herself under control. "It's me, Avalon...your sister.." That's all she could find. That's all that would come out. She was just too wound up and emotional for her mind to figure anything else out, except for the fact that this is what mattered in the world right now.
