Maybe this time

Azalea walked through Valhalla, head turning left and then right every now and then as she searched for her boys. Soren had come home but Kismit? Where the hell had he gone? She didn't want her Kis to become like Soleon. A child who left and never came back. The lake was coming up on her right and as the foliage fell away she spotted Soren basking on a large rock, staring rather morosely at his reflection. She couldn't help but pause for a moment and wonder if maybe her overly clean child had become a narcissist but then pushed that thought aside. No, he was just too damned bleak looking. Not that that made her feel any better. She moved quietly, sitting down behind him, a good ten feet from the rock. Giving him space. He had gotten so big and it only served to remind her of abandoning them. Clearing her throat she hoped to get his attention. She could tell he was avoiding her, she wasn't as blinded by love like her own mother had always been. "This is where is all started, you know. Your grandmother gave birth to me and you uncle right by this lake." She grew quiet, exhaling through a conflicted look. "I love you, Soren. I know you probably think that I just abandoned you two but please, please don't feel that way. I was so angry over what they did, how they could just take you two away from me like that. If I hadn't have left then I would have fought Artemis until one of us ended up dead. What then? I wanted you to have someone to come home to." She sighed. 'I'm not trying to make excuses here, believe me. I did, however, expect Isardis to treat you two a lot better. When I came back and learned that you had been imprisoned the whole time... if it weren't for Erani telling me she had worked out a deal I would have been at Glaciem's doorstep fighting for your freedom." Azalea knew the boy well enough to know that it didn't matter why she hadn't done anything or what she would have done. He was a wolf of action, always had been. He had wanted her to fight for them and she had let him down. |
