Coming home

Indigo wasn’t so surprised about being summoned to the northern reaches to meet with his father and the newest of his children. Sirius had always tried to instill the importance of family, but part of Indy wondered how much of his views were fantasy over reality. Indigo had settled into Valta quite well, and he couldn’t deny how good it felt to be in the presence of his family. So there was a huge portion of his heart that hoped that this reunion was as beautiful and rewarding as he knew his father wished it to be. The maned man hadn’t been sure that Aslatiel was going to come, or if he would be allowed to bring their sweet Aia. But then the day came, and Kotori led them on this newest of trips.

Aia snuggled in against his mane as they arrived, she had spent equal parts walking on her own and doing a little exploring as she had nestled in his thick fur. She was getting bigger, but not much. He wondered if she ever really would get much bigger than she was now. Even if she remained small Indigo’s love for her only grew with every day that passed with her. He was so happy to have her here.

He fell in behind Kotori, but beside Aslatiel. He had realized that he couldn’t live his life without her by his side. He’d nearly destroyed himself trying, now that he accepted his fate. This was who he was, and he held his head high as he approached Sirius as he spoke with the Hallows Alpha, Artorias. With a hesitant grin he lowered his head in greeting while still uncertain what to expect.
