There were emotions running over her sister’s face, something telling Pol that healing would not have been approved. Perhaps if things hadn’t turned the way they did, she wouldn’t have been pushed to learn the art of healing. Maybe she would be the warrior that her sister was. Maybe she would be a real treader.
The splash of water from her sister’s bonded made the little healer laugh. "Troublesome is not always bad. It keeps you on your toes." She teased, feeling emotions still swirling around her.
A soft sigh chased the tears and she looked up at her sister. "That may be, but I can’t help but feel that things would be better if I hadn’t been around. You would have mama still…" Her words were soft, revealing the thoughts that she had been fighting all of her life.
"Perhaps I should take the time to learn about the Empress more than I have in the past. Caligo can only do so much for me, has never been more than just a hope." She laughed softly, shoving the thoughts of the pod away as she took a good look at her sister. The fatigue was weighing on the older mare and Pol knew it was time to let her rest.
"I will take you up on that, my dear sister… but only if I let you rest. You need sleep." She remarked warmly, hugging her sister tightly before stepping away. "Sleep and regain your strength. We will talk another time when we are both a bit more ready for it." She said warmly, thankful for the sister that she had regained. With a nudge, she pushed on her sister’ shoulder to nudge her back to the waters. Once her point had been made, she took a deep breath and started back on her way to the inn where she had been living.
