STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A REVOLUTION[Morningstar's band meeting]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The female had both been close to where her brother was staying and yet, at the same time, Uri was also keeping her distance with a bit of uncertainty. She knew she wanted to join her brother without any doubt; Uriel felt that was the right decision. But then why, she asked herself, did it hurt so much? Was it because in return she had to turn her back on the majority of her remaining family? She had thought that she had everything figured out… but her heart ached all the same. Not only that, but Uriel was uncertain of how Samael’s children would respond to her. Thus far she’d only met young Darya and that interaction hadn’t exactly gone the smoothest. Uriel pinned her ears to her skull, giving a soft whine… could she really hide for them forever?

No, she realized. Samael’s howl was proof of that. There was no denying that he wanted to call his family together, and, standing still, Uri took a deep breath as she tried to steady her nerves. It… It was finally time to approach them. She just had to hope that they gave her a chance to be there… she was from that side of the family that had… no, she reminded herself. She was no longer part of that side of her family.

Shri joined her as she made her way to where Samael called… but the moment she saw the others gathered there she froze. Shri landed upon her back, chirping softly. “Uri?”

But Uriel didn’t respond. She didn’t move another muscle, gaze fixed on Samael’s children. The older ones… the same ones that her… Finally her ears lowered, the femme swallowing hard. She… she couldn’t do this. She couldn’t get closer.

Shri sighed, taking to the air to wing over to Sam. Once the bird had landed, turning her head up to look at the tall male she spoke up. “She still blames herself… despite it not being her choice for what happened to them… to you.” Her words were low, so much so that hopefully on Sam and Darya could hear. Her reddish-pink eyes flicked to the pup, the one she’d seen before. “I do hope you’ve been exploring safer places young lady.” The mourning dove said, also soft. Truthfully she was just glad to see Darya still in one piece.
