This Peace I've Found

*Ara* · 12-04-2018, 09:35 AM

Life was truly good. She and Novel, especially Novel, had gone through some tough hurdles in their younger years but it was refreshing to see that time had treated Novel well. There was no denying that Novel had often been fearful when she was younger, having gone through so much in such a short period of time, but Ara was beyond grateful that her pains had transformed her into something stronger, instead of weighing her down. To see her sit so freely, in a place she was growing accustomed to, was invigorating for Ara. It didn't exactly make her feel years younger, but it settled some of the uncertainty she'd felt in bringing Novel here. And despite the obvious change in her, she felt like somehow... no time had passed at all. It was easy to fall into their familiar relationship, the one that had kept Ara alive all these years, the on that had made life worth living for so long - even after she'd left.

"Good," she replied, breathing a sigh of relief she hadn't realized she'd been holding in. Holding a lesson soon would be a good shared experience for them both. Teaching others about her craft was another thing that gave her great joy, and had kept her going through these last few lonely years. Slowly she lowered herself from a seated position to lay on her stomach, pulling away only slightly from Novel to get a better look at her features. "I really have missed you, you know," she started, tentatively, not wanting to resurface any guilt Novel might be hanging on to. "The thought of seeing you again, and our sons, has kept me alive this long, I think." Her words were earnest, but not meant to stir up unpleasant feelings. She was simply speaking the truth. There was little else to live for besides Novel and their kids, and.. apparently grandkids now, too. Sure, she had some knowledge to impart on others, but few wolves really wanted to get a lessen from someone as old as her and she didn't entirely blame them.
