Among the Stars

Astrea smiled at her oldest brother, knowing full well the answer he would give her. It was in his nature after all. He was the protector, the wall. A sliding wall that protected them from the harsh world. He and Voltage where the first defiance between her and the evil that resided in the world. She was not ignorant of that, she knew that even the stars she loved had a dark half; Black holes dotted the sky just like the bright stars. But knowing that still did not help the fear that still filled her heart. Now that they where a pack danger lurked just in the shadows of the light the pack made. Danger was now more forthcoming for the family, wheres before they where able to hide, if danger had found them they could flee; now, at this moment they could not, they had too many responsibilities. Not that Glacier or Voltage would have ran, it is their nature to meet danger head on; Glacier's injury just drove that point home for her and the rest of the family. "I know Glacier," Astrea whispered. "It is in your nature after all. I would expect nothing else." And that the was the butt of the point, the Elementas where subject to their nature. She was quite and distant because the stars where. Voltage was energetic and Glacier was calm and solid for that same reason. Astrea knew that. But did her siblings? Did they understand the nature of each other? She knew Voltage understood that to a certain extent, just like the rest of her siblings. She tilted her head, as the waves hit the shore of the beach, a small splash caught her attention. She had no doubt that it was Locha out again for a late night swim. A smile curved her face, seeing the joy in the simple act of being one with your chosen element. She hummed as the splashing increased then moved toward the shore. "Glacier?" Her voice was quite as she glanced at his face. It was close to hers as his body pressed to hers. "Do you miss the snow and ice?" He was the only one who did not have his element close at hand, his was even more hidden than hers was; she could look up and see the stars, even if she did not feel the pull as strong here then she did at the volcano; while his was no where in sight, he would have to go far north to absorb his nature. And as she sat under her name sake, she felt slightly guilty. Maybe she could take a trip with Glacier to the frozen north. Would he like that? |
