HE MOTIONED ME TO THE SKY,
She rises with pride swelling in her breast and her first hurdle apparently passed with flying colors, a quiet sort of satisfaction blossoming across her face. There would be many more tests before she could officially call herself a member of the Halcyon Unit, she’s sure of it -- after all, she highly doubted they allowed just anybody with wings to join a Unit that was claimed to be as elite as they were.
To do so would be to dishonor their namesake, at the very least.
Her pale gaze focuses on the setting sun and the creeping dusk, on the city in the distance that beckons to her as clearly as any siren. This is her home now, amongst the violet skies, and she finds a sort of peace in the thought of belonging somewhere. A soft shiver graces her spine at the touch of another, and she follows as beckoned with her head at the commander’s shoulder, wings held loosely at her sides.
“When I first heard the tale of Halcyon, Terrastella called to me,” She murmurs back, her leonine tail giving a lazy swish as though to ward away the flies that gathered on her haunches despite the casual movement. “I am honored to be considered as one of your cadets.”
I HEARD HEAVEN & THE THUNDER CRY.
