A NEW ERA BEGINS

The babe would follow her mother to a place she had never been to. They left the island, deserted the place from which they were born. Abandoned it like their father had abandoned them. Though usually quiet, the girl had been unusually so since her father disappeared again. She had played less, mostly sitting at the edge of the shallows along the rocks that dotted the beach with her Dolphin friend. And yet, even when her companion tried to play, Higinia simply did not feel like it. She would instead, choose to sit there in silence as the waves lulled her into a trance. Distracting her from the seething anger she felt within her chest. Why did her Father leave? She had always believed they were the perfect family, but it was proven to be untrue. She could see the pain and hurt in her mothers eyes, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. And yet, Higinia herself had managed to hide it with solitude. But now, she would come out of hiding. Her strides some feet behind her mother stiff yet purposeful. If her destiny was not at the island, then it would be here with her family. Aunt Sibelle, her brothers, her sisters...she would find her purpose and destiny here. Her Mother and her Aunt now, were her only guides in life. For she had kept herself away from civilization, the only ones she really knew were her family and her marine companion. Did she want to see the world? Perhaps. But all the same, she felt unwilling to feel betrayed again. Her father broke her heart, and for that she held resentment and unwillingness to trust. What a cruel world. The babe would seat herself near her mother, tail lightly touching her mothers haunch as she gazed at the other few already gathered. She adopted her mothers hard stare, the kind demeanor seemingly having dissolved some time ago. Were strangers always this mouthy? Seriously, her family would never speak like that to one another. Such blatant disrespect. When one called, you answered. No questions asked. At least, that's what she thought anyway. "Mother, will more like that come?" She would whisper in an undertone, only for her mother and aunt's ears to hear. Talk like this |
