☽ AELIN ☾


Brilliant and clashing colours of orange, pink, red, gold and purple stained the sky like a blood battle had just been fought overhead. The sun had begun it's decent behind the horizon, atop a dune stood the young daughter of these sandy lands. Duel eyes trained upon the scintillating sky, wonder and awe painted across her pretty, dainty features. The night would soon claim the sky and the fireflies would come out to play. Yet the night also brought a curse upon her closest companion; someone who she hadn't seen in quite some time. With a sigh the girl let her eyes drop from the sky for a moment, stretching her neck and shaking out her coat. The worry the gnawed at her night and day was disturbing her daily activities and her sleep. Which was a shame because it was at nighttime when others were asleep that Aelin really came alive. 

Eyes back on the sinking sun she watched for a few more moments, the flaming sphere sank below the world and quickly it's glow followed. "The night rises." Giggling she spread her wings, only a short gallop later she was off the ground, the already cooler night air whipping at her face. Above the stars began to blink to life, looking down at the speckled girl. Gliding through the air she laughed at the pure thrill of it, flying was still new to her and while she continued to build the strength in her wings and her stamina only short flights where possible. The girl knew that soon she would be as strong as her father, claiming the skies as her own domain. Yet until the day - she landed lightly upon the sands with an exhilarated smile - it was best to only fly in short bursts. 

Despite the heat of the day, Aelin knew that the night would eventually cool enough to be enjoyed by all; even the inhabitants of The Throat. Still grinning to herself the filly worked her over over the still warm sands, watching the fireflies begin to lit up. Twirling around their bright lights the girl laughed, enjoying herself. Despite the worry for her twin there was nothing like the delight of playing in nature.

I guess jealousy's the curse that the struggle inspires.
