Astrea had been aloof since the revel of her parents. That one event has changed her, burned away the fundamental strain that made her her. But change is not always bad. She felt this stirring want... No, need to get out into the world, to experience it like her elder siblings. Yes, today was going to be her last day with her family, but only for a little while. She would returned, maybe for the better but maybe not, but she could not stop it, the change has already stared; it was already morphing her inner self, making her different.
Astrea heard the call, and thought about not going, just slipping away and waiting for Arcus outside the pack lands. But no she could not do that to Voltage or Glacier, at least not fully. She was planing to slip away but letting her siblings to see her before she went on her adventure. She needed this, she needed the time alone to figure herself out. She needed to find Astrea; not Astrea the youngest sibling, not Astrea the Relicus, but just Astrea.
She moved then, setting out from her perch... Well not her perch anymore. Not after today. Today she was going on her adventure. Her adventure for self. She traveled to the beach to find Voltage and Terrae but no one else. She hummed then tilting her head. Choices, choices. She had not planned to speak to anyone but it would look odd if she turned around and left. At this moment she did not want her siblings to know about her choice to leave, especially Voltage. He cared a great deal for his family but she was not sure he would let her go... But then again if she turned around and left he would know something was wrong and he would go after her...
So her mind made up Astrea moved forward, staying a good distances from her brothers and gave a quiet greeting. Which was a bit strained, and not much like her old self. But that could not be helped, she did not feel like herself anymore, she felt broken and lost. More lost then she felt before, even the stars seem to not be able to lead the way back...
Time, only time will be able to tell if she can find her way back. Only time can tell if she is able to find Astrea.
