Stars in the Sky
Voltage sat beside her in silence, staring up at the sky. His tail twitched behind him due to his innate inability to sit still. Yet he remained patient, kind, sitting and listening to his sister's soft voice as she spoke of her stars. It was the same passion he knew the rest of his family felt for their named elements, maybe even going above and beyond normal. Their family wasn't normal, there was always something a little off about their origins. Each were named for, and loved a specific element, leaving Voltage with the mystery of whether they had fallen for their identities before their names, or their names were given to them because of their specific passions. With a gentle sigh he continued to watch the clear sky, feeling the calmness of the earth at this point. Soon the sun would set and her stars would shine and Astrea's destiny would come to its head, only to repeat the next night and the night after. Voltage wondered what it was like to feel such a love for a celestial body, but he himself believed he had found his passion...even if it weren't for the element he was so named for. He blinked at her question, tilting his head towards her and giving her a boyish smile. "Cant say its normal to stare at the sun.." He said with a laugh, shaking his head slightly at his lame joke. He hummed then, thinking. "Well, that bares the question, are we normal?" He asked softly, shifting to press a gentle shoulder against her, to soak in her warmth and familiarity. "Can't say we are. But you are no different than the rest of your siblings. Locha could probably grow fins and no one would bat an eye because that seems to be her destiny, the water. Terrae could start sprouting leaves and it'd probably go unnoticed." It wasn't normal, in a sense, to feel such a kinship with natural elements as they do, but then again, they weren't normal. There was always something off about their origins.. "Have you ever wondered.." He began, turning his eyes again towards the sky, waiting for it to dim. "What it would be like if one of us didn't feel a connection to their named elements? What would they do then? What if they felt fear for the thing they are supposed to love? Would they truley have a place in our family...the one that was misnamed?" He asked gently. It was something that was weighing on his mind more and more, and he often seemed to ask deeper and deeper questions to selected family members. They would understand, he was sure of it. But he had to know. It was his own personal mystery.
