Though Ylva’s memories of living in the inlet with Warsaw were painful, she did recall a brief time in which she had found happiness there. It had been shortly after she had brought the twins home and discovered that she and Solaris were both expecting. She had been so wrapped up by the idea of her and Solaris raising their unborn children together, that for a brief moment in time she had been able to forget her issues with Warsaw and imagine a blissful future. As long as she had her friend, and her children, she’d believed she would be happy.
But then Solaris had told her she was leaving the inlet to live on another island. Ylva had found it difficult not to be selfish then, to give into the despair of being ripped away from the only horse she cared about and to tell Solaris not to leave. She had done no such thing, of course - she only wanted Solaris to be happy, even if that was away from her - but in the months following Solaris’s departure, Ylva had found herself falling into a strange, empty fog. Her children were all that kept her going in those days. Eventually the pain of being separated from Solaris had ebbed away - or rather, she had improved at not thinking about it - and Ylva had since found a new kind of happiness, first in the dunes and then in the bay with Liland. But still those moments came to her, sometimes in the day as she watched her children play, but mostly at night, when she looked up at the vast Tinuvel sky and remembered how the stars had looked the night she and Solaris had met. Ylva waited at the edge of the trees with Liland lingering nearby. She tried to graze, but found she had no appetite, so she opted for pacing in a tight circle instead, pausing frequently to glance at the shore in the distance. Her heart was in her throat, and tremors shivered up and down her legs. She did not know why she was so nervous. Was it because she and Solaris had not seen each other in over a year, almost two? Gods, Torsten had been nothing more than a promise in her belly back then. Finally the brown and white silhouette of Solaris appeared on the shore, and Ylva froze, almost unwilling to believe it was her. Solaris’s belly swelled with child again, and she looked a little older - as Ylva did too, no doubt - but it was unmistakably her. Ylva’s face brightened with a wide smile as Solaris raced toward her, and when Ylva saw that her friend had broken down in tears, Ylva could not help but shed a few as well. She trembled as they embraced, and pressed her check against Solaris’s neck as they cried together, just as they had the first time they had met. Solaris’s strange new Atlantis perfume filled her nostrils and lingered even after they pulled away, and Ylva finally got a good look at her friend’s tear-stained face. “It’s really you,” Ylva breathed with a sad smile. “It’s been too long, Solaris. How are you? How is Atlantis?” 3; norwegian fjord; red dun pangare; 14hh mother of harley quinn, joker, & torsten  |
