Beating Heart

Solaris shrugged off the light hearted apology, waving a paw in a cavalier manner. "I've had eight siblings, do your worst." It couldn't have been any worse than when Imber and Astley were younger. Those two were perhaps worse than he and Servia on their best day. Well, those days were long gone, weren't they? Ah, but he shouldn't be so broody! Gods, it was ridiculous. He was never like this. But bottling it in was getting harder to do. Still, he would persevere, and keep facing life with all the joy in his soul.

"You're right. It's for the living. But it is short, so you have to live as much as you possibly can in the time you're given, no matter how insignificant something may seem. My mother always said if all she could do was stop one heart from breaking, or ease one life's aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin up to his nest again, she would not live in vain. I always thought that was really something." He'd never met a wolf more wise than she. At least in the manner of wisdom she possessed, there were all kinds of wisdom in the world. Someday he wished to have that same calm assured ness, that steady outlook.

He tried not to be offended by her last statement. He'd had other travels that eventually led him back home, it wasn't as though he abandoned his family. "When you leave for good though and travel beyond the point of no return, it's a whole new lesson. You can never truly fly if some part of you is always bound." He supposed, though, if he were like Astley, obligated by duty to stay, it was different. But he did want more for himself than to be overshadowed by his more mature, talented siblings. He wanted to know, just who was Solaris Lucerius, when standing alone from those who wouldn't care what he did?
