At first he did not meet her eyes, he did not know that it was her. The warrior mask was in place, ready to meet the challenger. Not that Hana was challenging. Quietly and carefully she stood behind and watched, not moving, not wanting to spook him. Then something changed, the wind blew Hana's scent in his general direction, he turned his head to look as his youngest sister, she walked up to him sealing the distance. She came to a complete stop beside him. She could not help the tears that leaked from her eyes and when he draped his strong neck over her little body and pulled her close and snug against his muscled chest, she cried even harder. "There, there." He hummed quietly, gently squeezing her. She was under his care again, everything in her world was slowly but surely becoming right again. She no longer had to carry Lakota by herself, she no longer had to fight away her sisters demons as well as her own. Alleo was here. She knew that they both had longed for this moment for months. Hana herself had visions of him in the forest and still had a chilling nightmare about finding her brother but never actually being able to touch him. Never did he embrace her in the dream, he only ran from her lost and confused. She screamed his name, and often woke herself up with sobs.
This reunion was so much sweeter than what she would have ever imagined.

He brushed his muzzle over Hana's side, and asked about their sister. "Yes, she's here Alleo." Hana blinked away her tears and nestled further into her brother's embrace. "She needs our help though, her darkness...it seeps further and further into her every day. We need to find the sun for her again."Her voice wavered and was not strong. It was weak and pathetic. She sniffled and tried to calm herself and her voice. " I didn't know how to help help her, but with you here...she's going to be okay." So much faith could be heard in those words. Faith because Alleo truly was her sun...more than that. Alleo was her world.

Then their moment was ruined. Footsteps, fast approaching ones at that where approaching them and quickly. When he let go of her and pushed her behind his bulk, Hana closed her eyes to stop the tears from leaking out again. This was how it was meant to be. Him and Lakota protecting her, defending her from the world. It didn't matter that a possible danger was on it's way to them. She opened her bright eyes to the world again. A dark figure stopped in front of them, she might have recognised their sister a second earlier than her brother.

Lakota had stopped, Hana smiled at her elder sister.

Both Hana and Alleo got covered in snow, the both shook out their manes. A giggle tumbled from Hana's lips. Oh what she would give to be able to capture both of their faces right now. Now this was how it was meant to be. The three of them against the world. The three amigos. Hana didn't interrupt her older siblings moment. Wanting everybody to be happy, she watched with a huge smile on her face. They where both so beautiful together and yet such a contrast between them. She didn't just mean their coats either. However they where bonded, and Hana in a way felt a little like the outsider, never quite having the same bond with her siblings as what Lakota and Alleo had. She wanted it though, she wanted to share that level of understanding with both of her siblings.

Hana heard the smile in his voice and her thoughts once again came back to the present. He welcomed her into his embrace as she stumbled toward him, her face hiding against him as she cried. Oh yes, Kota was crying! Hana sighed happily knowing that Lakota had also once again found her sun. He said as he hugged her close the same way he had Hana. Still she watched from behind her protector and was silent, just enjoying the moment. Everything about it was beautiful. Their emotions, her own feelings! A frozen sigh left her lips, the cold creeping into her bones. She stamped her feet to try and shake off the cold. The stallion lifted his head long enough to motion Hana close so he could hug both of his sisters and hold them tightly against himself. She was quick to obey flinging herself into the embrace. "I have never been so happy in all my life" She sniffed again and nestled herself underneath her sister.

"We are a family again, and nothing will ever break us apart again." It was a childish statement but at the moment the youngest sister didn't care. She was sucked into the happy moment, enjoying her siblings, warmth and embrace. They where home, they where safe and they where never ever going to be apart again. This time Hana would make sure that they stuck together. This time Hana would be the glue that held her family together. "This is home, right here." Another happy but frozen sigh left her chops.
