The Seasons Change While We Grow Stronger

Today was the day! Bellamy finally felt well enough to return to Ethne and Haydée had eagerly raced over to the Hallows in the early morning light to escort her and Gav home… much to the disappointment of the small winged boy. It had hurt her heart to see the way he struggled to get back to his friend and the young Leader had almost relented and allowed him to remain at the Hallows but she had remained strong and resolute in taking him home because she knew exactly how worried and sad Lucette has been.

Finally, the borders to Ethne appear and the boy seems to have calmed down greatly. There is a bounce in her step as she walks beside her mother, a huge smile on her lips as she cheerily says, “Well guys, welcome home! I have missed you both so much. Gavroche, your mother and father have missed you horribly and so have I! We were all so worried about you.” The smile on her lips falters and falls for a moment as the memories of the fear and sorrow that her sister had to deal with burns hotly in her mind.

But the memories fade in the light of the joy and today is a day that sadness will not touch. Haydée’s smile returns, even strong than before, as she leads them into Ethne lands, making sure that she does not share about the stresses that she has faced since her mother has been at the Hallows. There is nothing Bellamy could do to help with them and there is no need to have her worry needless when she is still recovering.
