The fear of flight

She feels terrible; her ambitions of Empress are tossed aside in name of love and despair, and now the Empress knows she must return to her duties. She sighs as she thinks back to lazy days spent with Raisa, but she is far from a domestic. The goddess strides to the summons of her Uncle, ready to show him that, despite her absences, she is prepared to step up as Empress. She is ready to lead this family, this pack. She is ready to take control of herself.
?Uncle,? she greets respectfully. She is always respectful and genuine to the older members of her family, particularly because she wonders if they don?t have something against being ruled by someone younger than them, someone they?d known since her childhood. Alas, Virgil remains in wait for what she is needed for; ears alert, eyes watching curiously.
