Sirius - long post warning
01-24-2021, 02:19 PM
Skyfire sat at the borders to wait for someone to arrive, but the sounds of a screeching bird caught her attention. Black furred head tilted upward as green eyes locked onto the source, a smile slowly appearing. A smile she hadn't had in a while. Sirius was nearby and it wouldn't be too much longer before he would arrive. This allowed Skyfire a little more time to herself before she wouldn't be alone anymore. Skyfire remained seated and examined the world around her, realizing at just how different it was now. It was as if this was the first time she had ever been to the grasslands, and yet she knew it well. To be alive, and then to be born again. The feeling of the cold air filling her lungs at a deeper capacity than before was strange and yet a great blessing. A great weight had been lifted off of her shoulders, even if the only thing she had left was the name she identified herself with, and this new life she was about to live. Sirius wasn't long to arrive in her presence as Skyfire expected. His large body bounded forward, closing the distance between the two of them. Marshall, his bird, was gliding in the air above them when Sirius had arrived. Skyfire allowed her eyes to trace over her former leader's body, taking in his coat, body structure, his eyes, and demeanor. It was a relief to see him compared to the other faces she had seen. Sirius had been one of the only friends Sky had been honored to know, and to be mentored by. Skyfire walked forward to lean her head against his chest, taking his scent in as if finding a long lost memory, failing to think about what he thought of it. Upon realizing it may not have been welcomed, she stumbled back with a sheepish grin. "Won? I suppose you could call it that." Skyfire started, returning to the matter at hand. "I think the proper way to describe it is that I proved to my father that I'm not his possession to manipulate, and that I will not submit to someone who objectifies others, especially women." That wasn't to say that she wouldn't submit to Sirius's rule because he was fair and just, treated everyone equally, and showed that everyone was their own person. "As far as victory goes, I still have a life to live. Victory comes in the end, when I am ready to move on spiritually as I die." It seems that during her travels back to the Armada that Skyfire had done some serious levels of thinking, calming her inner child, and encouraging herself to mature and to be the woman she wished to be. No one was perfect, but she would be damned if she ever let herself fail at living a memorable life. |
