For a fleeting second, the demigoddess was afraid she would find herself alone. Her heartbeat is a stutter inside of her chest, fluttering uncertainly as she waits for their response. Will they stand as one with her, like she asks? Or does their hurt and anger burn too strongly inside of them? Caligo cannot predict their answers; the Night Court has always been and will always be the black sheep of Novus, unpredictability is in their nature, and in her’s.
”I will go,” @Isra says, and Caligo breathes a sigh of relief - but it is short-lived. “And if we becomes stars and they decide that stars do not make very good friends for a storm, then what?” @Calliope whets her horn at Caligo’s feet, and for a moment she is entranced by the sparks that leap hungrily into the air.
“Then we will show them that our home is not their’s to ruin.” Her eyes meet Calliope’s, and the unicorn’s words create a stirring deep inside of her.
“I do not doubt you will. And if it comes down to that, I will be there with you-”
She takes a breath, filling her lungs with the salty air of the sea, her eyes returning to the thunderbirds circling high overhead.
“-But first we will try friendship. And if that fails, then we will drive them from our skies by whatever means necessary.”
