Drops Of Jupiter In Her Hair

Aoede shared her brother’s feeling when it came to the moon, it was like the world was different at night. Like she belonged in the moonlight somehow. Maybe Kore was right, maybe it had to do with their mysterious mother. A woman who they had never seen, who had never gotten a chance to hold them or know who they were. A faceless figure hat locked their true origins in mystery. Their father knew little about the woman, and pops knew even less. Part of her worried she wouldn’t ever know who her mother was, but looking up at the moon now she felt close to her. Even if she was gone.

The two siblings gaze quietly at the celestial body for a long time, Ao leaning heavily on her larger sibling’s shoulder. He answered her just as quietly as she asked him about the moon and their place in the world. The connection and draw they felt was very likely unique to them, she hadn’t ever seen any of the other pups out like this. Not that they had been out for very long.

Kore went on to asked her a soft question about their mother, and her attachment to the bright sphere. Aoede tilted her own moon-like features, uncertain of the answer. None of them knew her so it was impossible to say. Had dad told them about being born during the full moon? Maybe it all did have to do with who Ballad was. "She did,” Ao replied confidently. There was little chance she was wrong no matter who their mom had been. There weren’t many wolves who disliked the moon. Aoede found herself easily believing there was a special connection between their dam and the lunar light above.
