Sometimes I feel bad for keeping Tallis up so late during the night, but I feel like the night belongs to me. The feeling of being guided by the moon is more calming and peaceful than that of the sun. The unbearable heat and the way things died because of that heat was enough for me to avoid it at all possible costs. And to follow such a being? Well, that was completely out of the question. Why my brother seemed to worship the sun was completely beyond my comprehension. I could only assume that it had tricked him and thatwas why he followed it's destructive path. I was slow as I picked my way up the path to the meadow I visited on nights with the moon was full and shown her brightest. Tallis walked in front of me, testing the ground for its stability and searching for ledges that would send me tumbling down the mountain. His body language and trills and chirps were enough to warn me and I would alter my path. We reached the top and stepped into the meadow unscathed and Tallis climbed to my back and sat perched, looking around the meadow for any sign of danger. A slight digging of his claws into my shoulder told me that we were not alone in the meadow. Upon farther inspection I saw the white being that gazed up at the beautiful moon. I wondered if he praised her as I did or if he were an evil being trying to figure out a way to harm my beautiful namesake. I inched closer and I heard him asking for advice. I had no doubt, now, that he was a follower of the moon. My mother would have scolded me for doing it, but I walked toward the stallion, curious of if he would get an answer from the moon. I stopped a few feet back and looked up, watched, waited for some kind of sign but there was none that I could see. Finally I looked at the stallion, admiring his speckled coat. "What do you want from the moon?" I asked, my eyes going from the stallion to the moon. Again I waited for a sign and when there was nothing I frowned. "Perhaps she wants you to figure out whatever it is on your own." I hope I did not sound rude, I was only stating what I thought the lack of response meant. "I am Aylin and this is Tallis." I motioned to the dragon still perched on my back. "My mother named me for the moon." A fact that I was very proud of. |
