Atonement

Leaving the group after her call, Asla had moved into the green landscape in the hopes of meeting Indigo alone. On the wind, she could smell the scent of the band and so she knew that she was in the right place. As she pushed through the lush summer foliage, it parted before her into the perfect clearing and, on the other side, stood Indigo.

Aslatiel's heart leapt into her throat. Her giant, handsome brother stood there as violet and impressive as he'd ever been. It was his eyes that gave up the sorrow that plagued him. His gorgeous blue eyes were dull and full of melancholy despite the surprise in them. Before he could speak or move towards her, Aslatiel held up a paw, asking him to stay where he was. She had a lot to say.

The small, cream and white fae was silent for a moment as she gathered her thoughts. Eventually, her lips parted and she began to speak. "Things have changed since the last time we saw one another," she informed him. The most important of which was... "Naiche was mortally wounded by a bear, so I ended his suffering." Grey ears slicked back against her crown as her mind tasted the golden mans blood on her tongue as though it ran fresh. "Something about that kicked my mind into the place where it was supposed to be. I left the Armada with my children. I chose my own surname so that I could start anew." Asla's ears flicked forward again and she huffed aloud, irritated at herself.

"Being able to breathe, seeing things in a new light..." The scarred woman gave her head a shake before raising her galactic gaze to meet his sapphire pools. "I'm sorry, Indigo. I was wrong to say the things that I did to you. I had no right to lay the blame on you. They were my problems and it was my fault." Tears had begun to spring into the woman's eyes, settling just at the corners. "Could you ever forgive me?" She asked softly, as vulnerable as she had ever been.

"Asla" -- "Indy"
