where do i belong

Working hard to make something for Indigo had kept Aslatiel's mind off of just how unhappy she was. They had found the strange panels on the island where her father had taken her. It had been decided that they would bring these strange, clear pieces of something back to build a house for Indigo's plants. Asla thought it was a good idea. She loved seeing her brother smile. The cold of winter had stolen that smile from him. She aimed to steal it back.

The girl had been collecting buckets of earth to bring into the see through house. Being inside still made her a little uneasy, but she'd been going in and out all day and so she barely paid any mind to it now. This time, when she entered the house, her father and brother were standing in side. Lowering her bucket of dirt to the ground, the girl, equally dirty, with a big smudge of mud beneath one eye, sat in the doorway and smiled. She waited silently to see Indigo smile. That was all that she wanted.
