Astrea watched her brother, he seemed accepting of her declaration, like deep inside he already knew it. But it did not matter, he may have known subconsciously but he did not understand that knowledge, not without her putting it in words. She looked away from her brother to look at the sky, her eyes tracing the familiar. Her life it seemed was not what she expected, she had always thought that she was going to stay in the background, be the backdrop for her more showy siblings but little did she knew she was going to be in the center of things, the guide for a family that had many mysteries and many doubts about themselves.
Frankly, she was okay with that.
In fact the thought of being the ultimate guide for this life. She nodded liking the thought, she may not know many things but she does know the stars. "Yes, I will guide our family as the stars guide me, I will accept being the Relicus." With that she nodded, her mind made up about the whole thing.
She sat next to her brother, resuming her spot from before. She absorbed his warmth with a content hum. It felt like a weight was lifted from her, maybe voltage was also a guide... She looked up a studied the bodies that called to her like nothing else has ever... Well maybe them and Seerten. She missed him fiercely but at the moment her brother absorbed her thoughts. "I know I am not alone, I always have Sol and Selini and Arcus." She turned to look her brother in the eye. "I always have you." She closed her eyes and tilted her head, humming to herself. "I also have Ten. I know that, but sometimes..." She opened her eyes and looked back up at the bodies in the sky. "Sometimes the universe is to big to see the little things, so absorbed in self pity that you cannot see who you worry with that pity." She glanced at her dearest brother. "Thank you for guiding me, Volt." She smiled at him, her pale eyes filled with genuine gratitude. "Is there anything I can gift you with for a proper thank you?" She look back at the sky, tracing one star to the next, she never got tired of looking at them, ever.
