There is something strange alive in Asteria's chest. The odd little pull that lived inside her, it had brought her to the north and to the west of the lands she'd started in. Though she still sought the semi-mythical place that her mother had spoken of, there was something else here, too. Something Asteria didn't know the root of. Something that seemed to tug on her in a way she couldn't place, and couldn't understand. Truly. Well and truly, as the weather seemed to melt from spring to summer, Asteria needed to know what it was that called to her. And still, she was tired. The kind of tired that sleep couldn't fix. The kind of tired that seems to make a home in you when you've never known a home. When you've never known much other than roam. For as long as she'd roamed, there'd seemed to be a purpose to it. An excitement to it. And now? Was she still excited? Did the idea of travelling every day for the rest of her life, on in the same way she always had, still excite her? As she came to rest atop one of the broad, grassy knolls, she sat down heavily. This place wasn't so bad. Lush grass, the odd, passing buffalo. It must be the right time of year for them, with calves clinging close to the sides of their mothers. They are cute, and they tug at Asteria's heart strings in a way she's not sure she likes. Was that... sadness? What was she sad over? Her thoughts were heavy within her head. It would be dark soon, the sky already going pink around the edges. While a bit exposed, Asteria had spent the night in far worse places. Maybe her head would be less heavy in the morning. |
