Sekyra flicked her ear and looked around in mild annoyance. it was a fairy, responcible for the change of seasons. laughing and playing, she twirled around the horse like feature and then settled on it once more. this was a fall fairy too, brilliantly yellow orange but shown to the few who she deemed trustworthy.
blinking, Sekyra looked again and saw young ones playing in rainbow puddles and chasing eachother in the bright evening moons. she turned to lood at the pheonix king in time to see a pyro, living fire that could take any shape and color is wished and always be a flame. looking back at where the young ones had been only moments before showed her instead a clan of Sukreth (sOO-kreth), a beautiful creature that was as she was in some ways, a mixture between different creatures of myth and lore. they had many colors in their short coats and reminded her of at least three of her past friends. they had the bat-like wings of Dragons, the mark of the Unicorns, and the long, whispy tails of Shadow Shifters with gracefully flowing Horse mains and Deer hooves. of her friends she had known Deer, Horse, and Dragon. now it was their young that played in the rainbow puddles as the adults woke for a night of hunting and grazing. the gentle curve of their necks and tails as they reached for the berries disguised the fact that they kept balance by favoring neither one form of food or the other. they would hunt as often as they grazed.
life continues all around but i have only now noticed it. this is past. now there is a beautiful present waiting for discovery.
yes, Groshaan sighed, as they shared all things now, but before we can see all that lives around us we have to pull ourselves all the way from the past. and i am still wary. if you had not helped me i wouldn't have had the strength.
smiling, Sekyra took his had and looked back at the pheonix king. she felt better now and she knew that because of his connection to the Life Force, Nico would as well. there was a deep bond between them because of this connection one that cold only be rivaled by Groshaan or.....Talisrun! the Songhu was in a nearby stream, listening carefully to her account of the events since their last meeting; as she was sure he had been for awhile. this was a fine thing for her because now she knew that all she loved and held dear could be with her. it was the proof she needed: she was home.
it was at that moment that she gave thanks to Diana, the Godess and ruler of the 7th heaven, the level of the Shadow Shifters. she ruled the night and the creatures of it and it was by her grace that all under the moons, her watching helpers, came to be. all the evils that had befallen Sekyra and her kind had been achieved while the sun yet shown. it was always after dusk that her battles were won, always after the watchers had been placed in the darkened sky. and now as dusk approached yet again she was given the solice she needed. she could finish her story, her past, and then begin a new life; one she had prayed for but bever dared hope would come true.
