Escape! Freedom! It beckoned to her -- beseeched her, crooned a song of lovely things unto her ear, and she, she was not one to argue with the wind's call, nor was she willing to hesitate in her pursuit. It was meant to be. From the Throat she fled, from flame and ash and dust and desecration, across a narrow sea to her purpose, her calling, her final mission before at long last returning to Tyradon and finding a golden reign to glory in. A nigh-delirious grin twitched across her lips, a blissful and joyous declaration of high spirits and wild fervor. They were awaiting her. Son and daughter, both mirror images of their sire and dam, perfectly weighted to one another to achieve maximum potential.
Hers. If they remembered her -- if they knew she still existed, and hadn't lost all hope. Eyelids slither dryly across golden irises, her lips puckering in sorrowful remorse; oh, let them forgive her! And let she forgive them -- because she could not guarantee that she wouldn't want to cut their throats upon seeing them, give them a beating they had never even felt before. Her heart was no doubt soon to split in two, between the two divided wants -- her thankfulness for their [presumed] safety, how obedient they had been in staying away, and her presumptuous rage, her fury, that they had not sooner attempted...
While, they had attempted. And she had turned them back, marveling at their ingenuity and yet determined to escape on her own (out of sheer stubborn, in all truth.)
The sun crested the horizon and in the dawn of a new day Confutatis stood in where it had begun and where it would end, for her at least. Time had passed too soon -- and she should've been there longer, to better ease the twins onto the path of ambition and prowress. Still; you never really were prepared for it, the hunger and drive, the bloodthirst and insanity...
"It's time."
Mongrel glanced at her; rumbled in his throat; and disappeared in a flash of smoky fur, to fetch the twins and return them to the Heavenly Fields, a place of ascension.
