you can't simply hide our dream in the blue
The maiden rose from her resting place, shaking sleepy thoughts from her mind. Her cloven hooves stepped closer to the mirror, her awakened mind realizing it had never whispered to her, but she wished it had. She yearned to speak to the mirror, but found herself without words adequate for a God. How do you even start a conversation with time?
Her ears flicked backwards, whipping her head around to look for her rune encrusted companion, relief flooding through her veins as her eyes found the elk curiously peering back at her. His mind reached out to hers with questions she didn't have answers to. She bit her lip anxiously before issuing a silent command to her bonded: 'Deimos and Hotaru. Go.' Altair turned away reluctantly, slipping into the chilly night to seek faces he barely knew.
With her companion gone, loneliness gradually consumed the Haruspex. The cave felt a little darker without him there. She turned back to the mirror, waiting and contemplating it's glassy surface. The star swathed maiden tilted her tiara towards the ground, flicking her emeralds up tentatively to the mirror and swallowing a growing lump in her throat. "God of the Spark?" She whispered firmly, inquisitively, simultaneously hoping for nothing and everything.
