The Wounded Heart Within

*Aranea*

Ulric at first wouldn’t grab Aranea while she snaked in between his paws, she wasn’t sure if he wasn’t awake or just simply didn’t want her there. He didn’t seem to oppose so Aranea decided she would rather just be here in his touch if nothing else. It became more clear that Ulric missed her as much as she missed him as he actually took hold of her, burying his face into her small body. She slowly went to groom what was available to her, as if letting him know not to worry about her leaving anytime soon. "I just..." she paused, not wanting to leave him unanswered after their last encounter. But she didn’t know what to say. There was no real way for her to explain what she was feeling. "I just wanted to be with you."

She laid in silence for a few moments, giving Ulric much needed attention that she had deprived him of, letting him do the same as he wished. There was a lot he still didn’t know about Aranea. She didn’t want him to feel pity for her either. She liked to believe she was stronger today than any day before.

"Tyranis." she whispered, pushing her face into him and not wanting to make eye contact, "He stole my son away from me. I never saw them again." she had yet to see either Tyranis or Rain since she woke the night he disappeared. And up until recently, she thought both Rain and Nuada were dead in the present world. "I wasn’t there for my daughter. I didn’t want to live anymore. She suffered because of me." she was a lot calmer when she spoke to Ulric compared to when she told Allegro of her past. But still, even then, she couldn’t help the tear fall even while she wasn’t sobbing or didn’t appear emotional. She didn’t think she’d ever forgive herself for what happened, especially seeing the state Nuada was in when she was reunited with her. She dwelled in what she couldn’t do for her first children, but still she loved being in Ulric’s embrace more than wishing she could have done better for them. Tyranis’ abandonment was beyond superior to any of her other emotions.
