The breeze tickled her fur as the sun began falling faster and faster into its hidden home. Soon it would be dark. Genisys didn’t mind the darkness of the night. She’d been on her own for most of her life and yes, at first the dark had been scary. There were sounds, smells, unseen movement. It had freaked her younger self out. Now, she had grown to like it. She welcomed the shade that hid her so well. In a way, it reminded her of her brother. When darkness fell her other senses began to heighten. She could smell the scent of the earth before her mixed with the scent of the feya before her. She could see the girl’s wary gaze and stance. She could hear the fae’s innocent question linger in the air. Are you Genisys? Innocence. That was something Genisys found in stories. She closed her eyes, smiling slightly before opening her lids and revealing her green stargazers. “Who I else would I be? I can only be me.” She laughed lightly, trying to ease the girl’s worry. Why was she so fearful?
She glanced at the mountain before her before turning to look at the femme. She was so curious to know what was going through that pale mind that looked so much like her own. She hadn’t seen many like herself, pure colored. This girl had some markings but not many. Genisys’ ears perked and she raised her head, flashing a smile to the girl. Then there was a crash and Gen’s attention flashed to the crashing make-shift den, an eyebrow raising. I’m lucky I wasn’t sleeping for any longer… said the girl. Genisys was thinking the exact same thing. It had been so long since she had met another and she was happy to see this girl well. Yet, she wasn’t well. That crash could have killed her. That would be a tragedy for it had been so long. The pure one before her seemed so shy but when she spoke again, she seemed strong and calm.
I’m Aurora… What a pretty name. She wondered if it had a deeper meaning or if it were just another name. Some things were a mystery. The entire world was a mystery for one to explore. Genisys smiled in return, flashing her white canines. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Aurora. What are you doing here, under that dangerous creation? What had caused her to sleep under that thing that could have ended her life? She paused, clenching and unclenching her jaw before speaking again. “May I ask why you seemed so freaked out before?”
She didn’t mean to pry. Maybe she should take it back. Too late now the question had already been asked. Maybe this was just her way of making conversation, getting to know someone else. Or maybe she was just too curious and needed to working on her social skills. Who knew? Gen sure didn’t.
