For whatever reason Mauja asked me if my brother was a unicorn. Before I could answer he followed up with another question. Who taught my brother to love the sun. The way he asked had me hesitating in answering him. It was something in his tone. He was too cautious about asking so I stood silently as I contemplated answering him. "No." I answered Mauja slowly. My gaze rose to meet his because I wanted to watch him as I answered. "My brother is an equine like our mother. Our father is a unicorn like me." To me the pairing was not unnatural. Love was love and it was what my parents had for one another as well as my brother and I. "I don't know who taught him to love the sun. No one taught me to love the moon. I guess it's just natural. We both love our namesake." Maybe he would understand, maybe he wouldn't. It made perfect sense in my mind. The conversation then shifted to the battle that would be waged with the sun and the prospects of winning it. "We are many." I agreed with Mauja. "But we are mortal." Did he really understand the magnitude of a war with one of the gods? I sure hoped he did, being an adult. Of course he could always be one of those foolish ones who thought that numbers would bring the sun god down. Thankfully, he spared himself from being labled an idiot by saying that it would be best to let the Moon and Earth Gods talk some sense into him. "The sun should not be vanquished." I decided aloud. "We need the sun to survive just as we need the moon and the earth. We just need them to be harmonious once again. That way life can be restored to normal and the planet can begin to heal itself." I wondered if he'll understand what I'm trying to get at or if it will just seem like the babbling of a child. My eyes grew wide as Mauja revealed that he had seen the moon goddess herself. "I wish to see her." I admitted. "I don't feel like I would be worth her time to come here." Again there was another drastic shift in our conversation and Mauja asked about Tallis. The little dragon's head tilted to the side and he puffed himself up. I smiled in amusement at him then shook my head. "He is my mother's." I answered. "He is simply my caretaker when I wish to go off on my own. He never lets anything bad happen to me." |
