At the ends of your rope
Perhaps it never occurred to her that this was a best case scenario. Dragon could have done worse things to her. Now she only realized the weight of what would have happened if Lykos would have become alpha. Herself, probably cast out forcefully, perhaps even harmed. Dragon had held onto the position because mother say the kindness in him. Charm's green eye glinted - she could see that much into him. Maybe he didn't look like mother - but he was the one who got the most of her compassion. Her love for her family and friends. Charm smiled widely, probably more wider than she had in months and seasons. As she felt herself begin to cry she didn't try to stop it. It was unhealthy and she knew she didn't want to hide that much in front of her brother. His gestures didn't go unnoticed, as she closed her eyes crying and listening to the words he spoke. No one of this was his fault. Even if he did feel responsible Charm knew that he was busy with his own life and maybe Charm had always been sort of a black sheep among the black sheep of her family. She knew one thing, she was an Ancora through her blood and through her spirit. She wouldn't forget that and she certainly hoped she could return to her mother with a fire that she had seemed to lost when her father had died. "It's not your fault Dragon. You've DONE everything you could. And I love you for that. You're sweet and kind like mother but with the Ancora fire that protects them from harm. I never thought of you as less of a brother in any instances." she cried as she pressed her head to his chest as he pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm going to become someone everyone can be proud of. Maybe one day I'll even make Gyphon acknowledge me." she laughed a bit. Trying to calm down as she took in a deep breath and sniffled. Wiping away tears with her paws as she smiled at Dragon. She knew she was leaving the only pack she'd ever known. All of her memories were here, but they were also towards the north. She backed away from dragon a bit flicking the tip of her tail. "I'll be seeing you okay? Dragon Ancora, best brother anyone could ask for." she said as for a moment she lingered, before turning away and heading towards the land bridge. Her journey was just beginning. |
