HE MOTIONED ME TO THE SKY,
She is unaware of how closely she resembles the Commander she stands before, full of fire and a steely resolve that has been forged by hardship -- she can only be made stronger in the face of the challenges that the Halcyon training promises her. She can see her future stretching out before her in the brilliance of the sunset that backdrops them, in the thick lavender grasses that brush across her chest and tickle at the curve of her neck, and she knows somewhere in her soul that this is where she needs to be.
“Noon tomorrow,” She repeats as a promise, her gaze turning towards the Steppes and making a note of the location. She has no intentions of being late, not to the first day of her official training, and there’s a spark of excitement in her eyes as she watches the Commander begin the trek back to Dusk Court.
She waits until Marisol is out of sight to leap into the air with a kick of her back legs, unable to repress her joy at the meeting having gone better than she could have ever dreamed. Tomorrow, she was going to be an official cadet of the Halcyon unit!
I HEARD HEAVEN & THE THUNDER CRY.
