With the change of the season, Andy and Kite have nearly finished their preparations for the trip down to the Hallows. With almost everything packed, there was one, very important thing she has left to do. Up at her personal observation post, at First Point Light, the girl packs up several sheets of parchment and her set of quill pens with ink. She fluffs the furs of the bed, waters the plants outside the door, and sits quietly in her almost entirely made of glass, building.

For a while, she just sits there, watching the clouds as the sun slowly moves across the sky. It is almost time to leave and set Kite’s plan into action which has Andy feeling more and more nervous with each passing day. She has taken to secluding herself so that others will not see her hesitance or have the chance to notice is wrong. A sigh rolls past her lips and the girl stands, moving to exit her post. At the entrance, she pauses, knowing that what she is about to ask Isa, might be just a little too much.

Still, it never hurts to ask so she tilts her head back and sings a song for the kind woman. With that done, she moves to the flowers that her father had planted by the door, doing some quick weeding while she waits for Isa to appear.


"Andromeda Fatalis"

Things were going well in the Armada, surprisingly. When she'd first been brought here by Sirius, Isa had assumed that she'd hate her "Captivity." This wasn't the case. She'd come to love Andromeda and she liked Sirius quite a bit more than she should. In all, Isa thought that the Armada could very well be her final home.

When the call came from up high, Isa looked upwards, remembering the fight that she and Sirius had had up at First Light Point. The blue woman's brow furrowed for a moment, but she gave her head a shake and abandoned her task. Healed from two bear attacks and a kidnapping, Isa moved up the mountainside at a quick clip. She would feel the soreness in her joints later, but for now she was fine. The joys of getting older...

Arriving at the observation tower, Isa noted Andy plucking at a few weeds amidst some flowers. Glacial eyes fixed on the dusty purple girl and an easy smile spread on Isa's maw. "Hello, sweet girl. You called?"

"Isa"

Andromeda has formed a very special bond with Isa and the blue wolf is only one that the girl trusts with such an important task. The blue woman arrives quickly and the girl stands, shaking the dirt off her paws as she moves to greet the woman. At Isa’s words, Andy’s lip pull up into a bright smile and she steps forward to gently nuzzle the woman’s cheek with affection. Once the greeting is finished, she steps back and nods, softly saying, “Hello, Isa! I have a really big favor to ask of you. But first, let’s go talk inside.”

Gesturing a leg at the observation tower that she and Sirius had built, Andy quickly moves to the thick fur that acts as a door and pushes it aside. Stepping over the threshold, she holds the fur aside for Isa as she enters. It is a simple design, with three of the four walls made up of huge, thick panes of glass. The back wall, which they had just entered through, is made up of a mixture of stone and lumber. To top it all off, the ceiling is also a thick pane of glass that offers a wonderful, expansive view of the sky.

The floor is made up of cement which had been poured as the foundation for the building. Furs have spread out to carpet the floor, covering the cold cement and, effectively, hiding it from view. Along the stone and wooden wall rests a large, long desk that has several rolled-up maps on one side while an ink and quill sit on opposite one. In the middle, is a large sheet of parchment that has its corners pinned down by books. There are dots and hastily scratched names by them and, if she looked closely, it would be obvious that it is rough star chart.

A chest rests along the wall, beside the desk, its lid cracked wide open to reveal the books and rolled parchments that rest within. In the middle of the room, there is a large pile of plush furs which the girl obviously uses for her long hours spent stargazing. Once Isa steps inside, Andy allows the fur back down and hastens to gather up some books that she had left open on the floor. As she works, Andy sheepishly asks, “So… did you, uh, know I am going to visit my sister, Briar, down in the Hallows?” The question has everything to do with her request. The girl quickly dumps the books she has collected into the chest before turning back to Isa and shuffling her paws nervously.
