She remembers this world, and does not all at the same time. Her coming here had been fleeting, but the call of home had pulled at her heart and so she had followed it. It was a moment she regretted, wishing she’d not chosen to go and fail at what her father had been so strong at. With the knowledge she was no longer bound to the world she’d been born, able to finally sever the ties and let the world there continue on, she’d left with Karsi always at her flank.
Despite the feeling of being unable to live up to the expectation she’d had for herself, she’d found Avitus there, and she adored him. She hoped to see him again, and tell him exactly what she felt.
She smiled to herself as she thought of him.
“Your thoughts are escaping, little one,” rumbled Karsi’s voice.
Ciaran just smiled at him.
They both had passed through the wall of thick fog and cloud, both feeling a strange burning and pain that clawed at their hide but it had passed and beyond the fog lay a world that was so different and open to her. With wide eyes, the feathered lass stopped.
The ground was dark and starlit, the sky overhead twisting in a vast array of colour and light, and here and there the ground gave way to the same dancing light. The horizon slipped into another cloud of nebulae, and Ciaran was mesmerised.
And Karsi at her flank, despite being reserved, found himself feeling overwhelmed. He stood and looked up, watching the dancing light of the stars, and beyond them a comet raced. Ciaran watched it, and took a step. The sound changed, and echoed all around her in a loud way that made her pause.
“What is this place?” She asks, and her voice sounds so small here. Karsi has no answer, and the pair continue to stand and stare, as words and motions failed them both...
