you are the light to my soul

Time did not exist, it was if everything had stopped. Lost in the presence of Drogon as she unleashed all the pain that had been building until she could no longer hold the weight so heavy on her heart. She clung to him, in a way she had never done before. Relying on him for a strength she did not possess as she wept in his embrace. All of her emotions crashing down upon her, no longer able to stay afloat. Yet he was there. Listening, holding, never punishing her for her flaws. Perhaps it is what she needed, needed to know that another cared for her outside of her blood. The pain she had felt is still lingering, yet it is no longer on the surface. Once more buried, settled and soothed by him when she alone could not do it. Then again it was not the first time she had found solace in his care, more often than not she was finding that the dark prince was becoming something important in her life. A solid and constant connection she did not want to fade away. Was that selfish of her?

The light tread of her paws upon the well worn path force her away from her thoughts as her return to the den had come to an end. Pale green eyes so heavy from the spilled tears she almost missed the small white bundle waiting at the entrance of the den. For a moment she pauses, blinking; unsure if her eyes are playing tricks on her in her worn out state. Yet it the scent that surrounds her that reveals she is not imagining the sight. "Little blossom why are you not in bed?" She smiles softly at Lailah, the affection and love evident in her tone as she steps forward. Her muzzle reaching out and rubbing gently against her sibling, red and cream clashing against the black and white. No matter the differences she faced against her smaller siblings they were still blood, tied forever in a way no one could match or challenge. The absence of her own little mates did not lessen her love towards them. If anything it strengthened her need for Lailah, Everett, and Liah. The joy she finds in watching them, is nothing but astonishing. Their innocence pulling her in along with their inner beauty. She cannot imagine her life without them.

Glancing briefly within the den, ears perking at the slight snores that greet her as a small and tired laugh escapes in a breath. It is then she turns, to lay down along side her sister. Despite the year that separates them, their sizes are almost matched. To think of how much they had all grown since their birth causes a pang to hit her chest. Where had the time gone? Already was her second birthday fast on her heels, while the others would be reaching a year. Leaning softly against her sister, whispering curiously. "Was mother threatening the neighbors again?" She chuckles, pale eyes alight in hidden mirth. For it seemed the tree that shaded the den had become inhabited by some rather ruthless squirrels who had taken it upon themselves to face the wrath of mother by tossing their nuts at the growling mass of white. She is sure it is nothing but harmless fun, for one had ended up hitting mother square on the nose, watching her attempt to climb the tree had been perhaps the most funniest thing she had seen. She had not missed the smirk on her mothers lips at hearing the peeling laughter of her children. It is moments like these she cherishes and clings too, will forever hold dear.

"I love you.. you know that right?" The sudden switch from humor to seriousness has her heart stumbling to keep up. Had she ever told them that, voiced how much she cared for them? Had she ever told her blood siblings? Maybe they did not know of her love? She made a promise this night to make sure they knew, either by her words or actions she would not allow them to think she did not love them. Perhaps it is the aftermath of everything she had shared with Drogon that makes her think this. As pale eyes soften, a slight sheen of blissful tears taking them captive. Yet this time there is no pain, these were ones she welcomed. Where she felt so much that her words would never be enough so her body took over. Sighing softly, so content with Lailah at her side. A perfect ending to what had been a rough day. She could think of no better way to end the night.
