Never Come Between Us

Asla tried to spend time with both of her children individually. She had taken Arc hunting, so she would spend today solely with Satira. They could do whatever the girl wished. Not going too far from the Armada, Asla and her daughter moved through the thick, misty pathways of the Soulless Forest that she was so familiar with. Asla really liked it here and found such beauty in the hazy, eerie atmosphere. Perhaps they would work on some fight training when the pair of ladies took a little break.

Placing Tira in the hollow of a tree, Aslatiel meandered off into the fog to catch them some lunch. Knowing this place, it didn't take her long to hold a fat hare between her jaws. With a pull of her head to the girl in the hollow, she led her floppy eared daughter to her favorite place in the forest; her tree.

The pair entered the clearing where the old, gnarled tree stood. It's roots were thick and winding. Aslatiel had been collecting bones here since she was the same age as her daughter. There were piles of skulls all around the tree and there were other bones and things hanging from the branches. In addition to the bones, there was a thick awning made of waterproof hide. A gift from Naiche for her birthday.

Settling down within the embrace of old, familiar roots, Asla tore open the belly of the hare and placed it before Tira, letting the girl eat her fill first. "Are you enjoying our girls day, my love?" She questioned the child, a look of amusement glittering in her deep, purple eyes.
