AURIEL the good twin Mom won't notice these. Will she? I trotted back to the Edge, brow furrowed, light amber eyes carefully studying the scars on my hide. With a bit of mane repositioning, I could hide the teeth marks on my neck, but the bruises on my chest and scar on my right wing were a bit more noticeable. At least they were fading, and soon to be completely healed. I had fought in a couple more spars than I had ever meant to before taking a proper lesson from my mother. I was a bit worried as to what she would think of it. But I was more worried about her not thinking anything of it, of me. It had been a while since we had last conversed, and I was admittedly scared to see her again. Would she forget about me? Did I have any claim to the title of fucking Princess? It wasn't as if I had dubbed myself royalty simply because I found myself in the herd she ruled, but the King and his poisoner proclaimed it. It was sickening to me. I had no claim to this land, I wasn't born here, nor was I ever even raised as a Princess. The irony of it was amusing at times, though. Ah, yes, I'm your Princess, totally not the bastard child of a Warrior and a traitorous Addict. My musings on the contradictory subject didn't matter, though. I am a Protector before a bastard and a Princess. So I marched solemnly back to the land I had pledged myself to, amongst slowly falling snow and chilling breezes, mentally preparing myself for whatever arduous tasks determined by the General awaited me there. But when I stepped through broken glass and around looming trees, my mental preparation suddenly meant nothing. Shida. A smile spread to my lips, warming my chilled body. It didn't matter to me why she was there, a few lengths ahead of me, in the Edge's territory. All that mattered was she was there at all. I lengthened my stride, pulling up my crowned head up in a single, swooping motion, my pale body radiating with a bit of it's forgotten ethereal radiance. I halted when I saw her. Mom, standing so hesitantly I thought I had made up her image, though I quickly realized that was no the case. The momentary exuberance I felt and displayed lapsed, caving in on itself. My head fell to one side, looking between the two I loved most, panic swelling within me. I let out a shaky, hazy breath, pressing my wings close to my sides defensively. My arrogance had caused me to forget the chasm between them, but witnessing it was a chilling reminder. It used to be so different. Why couldn't she live here, with us, in the Edge? Don't we all belong together? I choked on any words I wanted to say, and lurked behind Shida, finding myself confused and desperate and silent.

She walks in starlight in another world.
She is far away. She...she is far, far away from me.
She is far away. She...she is far, far away from me.
