What If I Run Away To Mars

Andromeda has formed a very special bond with Isa and the blue wolf is only one that the girl trusts with such an important task. The blue woman arrives quickly and the girl stands, shaking the dirt off her paws as she moves to greet the woman. At Isa’s words, Andy’s lip pull up into a bright smile and she steps forward to gently nuzzle the woman’s cheek with affection. Once the greeting is finished, she steps back and nods, softly saying, “Hello, Isa! I have a really big favor to ask of you. But first, let’s go talk inside.”

Gesturing a leg at the observation tower that she and Sirius had built, Andy quickly moves to the thick fur that acts as a door and pushes it aside. Stepping over the threshold, she holds the fur aside for Isa as she enters. It is a simple design, with three of the four walls made up of huge, thick panes of glass. The back wall, which they had just entered through, is made up of a mixture of stone and lumber. To top it all off, the ceiling is also a thick pane of glass that offers a wonderful, expansive view of the sky.

The floor is made up of cement which had been poured as the foundation for the building. Furs have spread out to carpet the floor, covering the cold cement and, effectively, hiding it from view. Along the stone and wooden wall rests a large, long desk that has several rolled-up maps on one side while an ink and quill sit on opposite one. In the middle, is a large sheet of parchment that has its corners pinned down by books. There are dots and hastily scratched names by them and, if she looked closely, it would be obvious that it is rough star chart.

A chest rests along the wall, beside the desk, its lid cracked wide open to reveal the books and rolled parchments that rest within. In the middle of the room, there is a large pile of plush furs which the girl obviously uses for her long hours spent stargazing. Once Isa steps inside, Andy allows the fur back down and hastens to gather up some books that she had left open on the floor. As she works, Andy sheepishly asks, “So… did you, uh, know I am going to visit my sister, Briar, down in the Hallows?” The question has everything to do with her request. The girl quickly dumps the books she has collected into the chest before turning back to Isa and shuffling her paws nervously.
