you took the sun and you waited

How her heart ached when she saw Arian react to seeing her. How shocked the girl looked, as if she was ready to freak out and break any moment. Destruction would pause, watching her, her single orb saddened, so deeply saddened, and full of worry. Had she made things worse by coming to the young woman? She hoped not, prayed not. But the girl would pour open her heart, and Destruction would listen, feeling her own break with understanding. The dark woman would slowly move, wrapping her body around Arain's own and gently licking her head, much as a mother would to comfort her child. It was an offer Destruction had made once, to consider Arian as such. It had come to pass, truly, and the young girl was part of her extended family. "It is not your fault that I was lost, Arian. I needed some time, and I myself got separated. That is not your fault, so don't you blame yourself for it." Her words were soft, and the dark woman would close her remaining orb as she went on. "I understand that fear, Arian... but... you must not let that fear consume you. I've been in your paws, when I was a young wolfess, and yet, here I am... I might have lost some of those I cared greatly for, but others I have reunited with. Sadly life is full of loss. Things do not go right all the time, and we must bend when the wind blows or risk getting toppled over by it." The female would open her eye again, looking to the younger woman next to her. "Be brave, Arian. Stand up to that fear. Let it know that regardless what happens you won't be truly shaken. That there are those who will always be ready to pick you up. You mustn't be afraid of loss. When you can accept that it is there, will always be, you find that it may be easier to hold onto what you care for." She would give a sad smile. "...and with as strong as you are, I know you can make it through." Destruction would lay her head down on Arian's shoulders, giving a light sigh. "So no, my dear, you are not a failure. Every wolf makes mistakes. It is what makes us mortal. You were able to do more than you realize, young wolfess, by being my support. By being there to help me back on my paws after it all. We must fight our own battles... so there was nothing you could do on that end. But it is thanks to your efforts, in making me realize there was more to live for, to smile for... for standing by me in those dark days that has allowed me to make it to this day. To lay by you now. Arian... without you I would have been lost so long ago. So no, you are no failure... and you never will be." Gently she would embrace the younger girl, honesty in her words. The greatest assistance was not always physical ; but mental and emotional. It was the latter two that made the biggest difference for Destruction when received from Arian, a girl she considered her daughter. Speech |
