Save a spot for me in heaven.
Reunited with Serpentine.

When her dubbed nickname from childhood fell from his lips, her heart felt as though it may explode within her rib cage. He was alive? She hadn't spoken with anyone within Boreas since the eruption, her family scattered as she had became lost in the ash. Her two toned eyes watched him close as he seemed to look her over, she could see the wheels turning within his brain. Her jaws parted as she spoke softly, her words coming out quickly, stumbling over themselves. "Ser-Serpentine. Where's Lorne? Where's Mother and Father.. Are we all that is left of our family?" Her eyes watched him as he watched Tarot, a low growl coming from her throat. Once upon a time she had been soft and sweet, like a wildflower stretching upwards to the sun between the blades of grass. But time alone had forced her to become defensive, always expecting the worst from everyone. She had been alone for a decent amount of time, and after a run in with some rough folk, she had decided it was best to bite and ask questions later. Jade had so many questions for him, endless questions. Why did they not leave sooner when they saw signs of the eruption happening, why did they wait so long? How did the three well bonded siblings get torn apart with such ease? Her tongue grazed over her snout, finally she caved to her emotions. Her tail beat madly behind her, snout now pushing beneath her brothers' as she embraced him in as much of a hug that a wolf could muster. "Serp, I thought you were dead.." Her calm demeanor quickly returned, backing away from him a bit to give him room to breath. When he brought up the snake she had so lovingly found she felt it was a good time to tell her story, at least the bit she had been through since becoming separated from the family. She sighed now, sitting down on the sandy earth below, the cold wind shivering her a bit but paying no mind to it. "Yes, she's mine. When the volcano erupted, I know it set us all apart. However, I found my way here. It was an area untouched ,expect by the cold blasting winds that came from the atmospheric change the explosion caused. She had just shortly hatched from her egg, I never found more than her. Most snakes here are solid colors; brown, black, tan. The usual. I was more lonely than I had been in the entire two, almost three, years I've been alive. Her mother was no where to be found, or her egg mates. I scooped her up, and she stayed around my neck for awhile, at least until we reached Glowshroom Cavern. In which we relaxed, and returned to our strength, only to find our way back here. I had hoped, since it was so far from the Volcano, I may find some of the family. And here we are. Her name is Tarot, I chose to keep her and create a bond with her because she is two toned, much like myself. She is my child, now, and she speaks our language. JJ was sure she sounded crazed to her sibling, a wolf raising a python? How did it work? Sure other wolves in Boreas had companions, but hardly any had pythons, if there was even another one besides her beloved daughter. She sighed for a moment, her duo colored eyes glancing to the hazed sky above them. What a serene moment it was. Brother and Sister, reunited beneath a smoked grey sky. Her snout now nudged her brother's cheek, it was a loving gesture. But no matter how much she had been talking, the question of her family still sung in her mind, and she had to ask it again. "Where do we look for the rest of our family, Brother?" |
