Asch


Where are you, Papa?

A soft sigh escaped the gold-laced cocoa beauty, staring into the distance as if willing it so would make her father appear on the horizon. She'd tired of the oppressive silence of the snow-clad Basin, the loneliness that accompanied it. Her twin had drifted from her as of late, obediently serving their mother, and Asch could not accept such a fate. She let her magic wash over her, sighing softly as it calmed her. Maybe she didn't know where it had come from, or why it was her that had been chosen...but even when she was not using it, it calmed her. Reminded her that she wasn't useless or weak in any way. That she was special, far more than her mother gave her credit for. And if Arwen wanted to spend her life growing up in Arah's shadow...Asch loved her twin more than life itself. She served her like a loyal hound, protecting her and helping her grow. But Asch couldn't live that kind of life. She yearned for her Papa, for Talbot, for the pair that had always made her feel important and loved.

The sun warmed the pale gold of her spine, locks curling under the humidity. It was a lonely life, she mused to herself. No companion to keep the other half of her soul occupied, and the matching puzzle piece of her heart...well, Asch could not keep Arwen from making her own decisions. It hurt more than any pain Asch had ever felt before, to leave her to her own devices, to tear the bond they had forged before they'd ever breathed their first lungful of air. But she could not live the life her mother and sister led any longer. She could not remain in the stifling snowy wasteland of the Basin.

The heat was agonizing for a child accustomed to frozen temperatures and tundra horizons. Blinking emerald-gilded gold eyes, she turned away from the purple plains and let white-gold hooves carry her away towards the water. The river washed away the commotion in her head, soothing her. It was a cold embrace that met her heated limbs as she walked in, taking all the time in the world. What else was awaiting her after all? She waded in, plume a shimmering cloud of gold and umber atop the water. Gazing out over the mirage of the heat on the water, she remained where she was, wondering when the time would come when she would find what her purpose was in life. Was it destined to ever be anything but her twin's protector?
