There was a certain kind of beauty to the lake, the crystal clear surface offering a reflection of the endless rolling sky above. Though, there was far more depth to it than just looks. In its open expanse, she saw herself. Stagnant. Trapped within the confines of her own making. It left her nearly vibrating with pent up drive that she knew not how to express. Perhaps it was her ancient spirit longing to contribute in the same manner of her siblings, though she wasn’t entirely sure how that all worked. Needless to say, the desire to go forth and make progress burned within, and it wasn’t something she felt like she could keep at bay for much longer.

She wasn’t entirely sure how long she had been sitting there, staring over the open water. It wasn’t until she heard her sister’s voice did she blink away her own absence. At the sight of Avacyn, she offered a half-sided grin “Not at all-“ Mariah interjected to ensure that she wasn’t doing anything of importance. As far as of her studies … had her brooding melancholy been that obvious? “I was meaning to approach you about that.” She answered softly. It wasn’t that she was dissatisfied with the knowledge basis of what she had gained from working beneath Irilyth and on occasion, Ikigai. However, she didn’t want her ceiling of capabilities to be set by what she had learned from just a couple of individuals from Alias Island. “Given the opportunity, I would like to seek out other mentors. At least one- maybe multiple- that I can stay with a bit longer than just a single meeting.” She announced to her sister. What she was asking for was permission to travel. To seek out healers in perhaps some of their allied packs- though if she found a loner along the way that she saw to be a good use of her time, she wasn’t opposed to lingering with them for awhile … though that might be more dangerous. Blinking away the momentary thoughts, she went on to describe what their mother had arranged for her in the previous season. “I had a lesson with Indigo Fatalis of Valta a while ago- it was beneficial … but it was just a day trip, and I need more than that.” She finished explaining, hoping that Avacyn would concede to her request. She watched her sister with an unwavering gaze, searching for any spark of interest as the older girl considered what she was asking.
