jane
Solterra brimmed with life and bustle, something Jane was no longer used to. After months out on the planes with only Hardison as company, Jane now found herself pushed around by horses doing all sorts of business. It made her potently aware of how out of place she was; each horse’s face was unique and none of them meant anything to her. She knew no one here. For a moment she felt a strong longing for her mother.
But it would be a long time since she saw her again, if ever.
The Day Court was beautiful, though. Ever since her interactions with Galileo, she had been somewhat prepared for the building, but it was better than she could have imagined. The walls were hard stone, as far away as one could get from the nomadic terrains of Jane’s homeland. This place was made of sand and heat in a way that suggested permanence. She was reminded of the rocks by the shore turned to beads of sand.
Jane? Her own name came to her and she stopped. How long had it been since someone called her by name. A name is an ask and a show of faith, the revelation that someone knows who you are as an individual. She turned and saw- Yes, Sebastien. The unicorn was black and grey, and something in between. But it was the purple eyes who revealed who he was without any doubt- not to mention the aura. “Sebastien?” she said, her voice showing a mix of surprise and relief.
She could clearly say now, I survived. She was where she was supposed to be… Sebastien moved towards her with purpose, with recognition, and at the same time that he did all this she could feel the relief in her body.
