Patiently, for this moment is just one instance in his infinite life, the Earth God listens as Destry tries to gather her thoughts. He finds it interesting that she still insists that Aurelia is an issue, not something makes her happy. Curious indeed. But perhaps there is more to this issue, something the mortals understand that he does not. He listens, trying to understand her mind, her heart, her soul, but each word she speaks is jumbled and fragmented, like she doesn’t understand how to be herself. Once she had finished her answers, he picks out a few statements to respond to.
“The reasons you gave for wanting a child- for the joy, to prove something about yourself- seem selfish, child. Raising a child is not about yourself, but about the life you bring into this world.” As always, he manages to speak without seeming condescending, somehow. “Regardless, I will help you child, but there are many things you must learn before you can be given a gift such as the one your heart desires. You must learn that there is more to this world than falling in love. Make some friends, discover your heart, and learn to speak of it. There will come moments when your lover, be it Aurelia or otherwise, is not around. You must be able to stand on your own, as an individual.” He smiles for her, the birds chirping along, hoping to give her some peace. Drying away her tears, for even saltwater falls under his reign, he continues. “Then, when you have done that, find the one you wish to have a foal with. Together, you must be remember what it is like to be a child alone in this world.”
The grass at her hooves begins to blow, tickling at her fetlocks, and in a blink the god is gone, leaving her standing there as alone as she ever was. Can she figure out how to be an individual, instead of just half of a whole?
1. Make at least 1 non-romantic friend. Open up to them and share your feelings with them over a period of time (i.e. more than one thread)
2. With the mare you intend to have a foal with, be reminded what it is like to be a foal without a family. Find a foal whose parents are rarely around and discuss with them how it has affected them (examples: Rhoa, Adelric, Zunden, etc.)
