A Song For The Stars

Because she was watching her sister, she saw as she closed her eyes, and found herself wondering what went through the older wolf’s thoughts. No doubt it was their mother at the forefront, the howl at the stances indicated that. She too thought of their mother, the starry woman who was shimmering and ghostly in her memories, not real and substantial as she wished she was. She wasn’t sure if she remembered her voice, or if it was Vela’s voice that overlapped her memories. Her sister was far more real to her then their mother had ever been. It didn’t diminish the love she held for their mother. She decided, as she looked at her sisters mournful expression, that it did soften the blow of her absence.

As Vela opened her eyes and looked at her, Lyrae let her waggle a little behind her, a hopeful gesture. “I wanted to see what you where doing” she was ever curious of her older sister, who clearly understood both the world and the stars with a clarity Lyrae hadn’t learnt yet.

She followed Vela’s gaze across the lake, and the strangely-lit and floating stars that danced and frolicked in the air above it. She looked up at her older sister as she closed the distance between them, pressing her cold nose to her forehead. Lyrae squealed playfully and ducked away from the cold touch, though she didn’t put any distance between them.

“No, Lala, I want to know!” she craved every story she could hear about their mother or the stars. She fell into the nickname she had heard vaguely in her memories for her sister and loved. She fell back on that nickname a lot, and spoke it with pride for the sister she loved.
