Everything Is Going To Be Alright, Now

The small pup traces the outline of her crow, stating her resolution while imagining all the fear and helplessness that she had felt in that moment flowing into the wooden trinket. Dorian likes her wish and her emerald gaze moves to him offering an encouraging smile and listening ear as he talks about wanting learning faster and become the best healer. Haydée nods, catching her brother’s gaze. With deliberate movements, she lifts a tiny paw and places it to his on the wooden racoon. Her voice is soft but there is power underneath the words as she says, “I promise to help you achieve your dream Dorian. No matter what you need, I will be there to help.”

A smile is on her lips as their green gazes remained locked, a powerful bond forming in the silence that surrounds them. These are not empty promises that Haydée speaks but, instead, great promises that are freely given to her brother as she binds them together in more ways then one. She offers Dorian a warm grin before allowing her paw to drop away and move back to cradle her own wooden trinket as her eyes fall to the figure. Quietly, she ponders what other resolutions she might be able to add.

The green glow from the roaring fire throws shadows to dance around them and the girl feels a familiar twinge of pain behind her right eye as the fire’s gift from last time flares painfully in her head.
