Let the Festivities Begin

Indigo could confidently say that he was settling into Elysium comfortably. Having a home with Aslatiel helped that fact, he finally had his heart’s desire, he had his true love to help him find his way back to the man he had once been. Slowly he was being put back together after having his whole world shattered. Having a stable place to live during the winter and Aslatiel at his side Indigo felt like he was really rebuilding the foundation of his life. He had a twinkle of hope for the future again.

Maybe that was why he found his way out to the social event or maybe it was Aslatiel at his side, leading him along. Beyond the faces of the Elysium wolves he had seen Indigo didn’t recognize any of their guests.. Yet. Now that he was here a pit formed in his belly as he made his way towards the gathering. He took in a deep breath, stole some confidence in a quick kiss to Aslatiel, and walked out into crowd. Leading Asla to sit nearby the monarch, to be taken into account as part of Elysium’s force. He didn’t have to force the smile that played on his lips.

He realized then he had come in just behind an Armada wolf, his… sister? Indigo left the Armada so long ago and he hadn’t ever looked back. His red marked eat fell to his skull in shame, she was a young woman and the last he’d seen any of them but Briar… It was shameful. His sapphire blue gaze instinctively shifted to Asla, not deserving the comfort he sought from her.
